[Objective] The aims of this study are to explore the temporal and spatial variation characteristics of soil moisture in Robinia pseudoacacia plantation and Quercus liaotungensis natural secondary forest in the loess hilly region and its response mechanism to rainfall events, and reveal the soil moisture characteristics and differences between two typical forest communities in this region, so as to provide scientific basis for the construction and management of forest vegetation in this area. [Methods] The mature forest communities of two typical tree species in the loess hilly region were taken as the objects. By monitoring the soil moisture content in the range of 0-300 cm in the experimental site for 10 years (2009-2019), combining with the change of precipitation in the same period, the temporal and spatial variation pattern of soil moisture in these two typical forest communities and its response to rainfall were analyzed. [Results] (1) At the end of the growing season in 2019, the average soil water contents of the two forest communities at 0-100 cm and 0- 300 cm were higher than the average values in 2009, and there was a significant difference between the two communities in the range of 0-100 cm, and the average soil water content of Quercus liaotungensis forest in 2019 was significantly higher than that of Robinia pseudoacacia forest. The average value in the range of 0-300 em was significantly different only in Quercus liaotungensis forest. (2) The spatial distribution of soil moisture in the two forest communities fluctuated obviously in the 0-200 cm soil layer. The temporal and spatial stability of soil moisture in Quercus liaotungensis forest in 200-300 cm soil layer was higher than that in Robinia pseudoacacia forest. (3) The monthly dynamic trend of soil moisture in the two forest communities was basically the same, which was roughly synchronized with the monthly dynamic trend of rainfall, but the soil moisture in Quercus liaotungensis forest was always higher than that in Robinia pseudoacacia forest. (4) On the interannual scale, the soil water content of the two forest communities at the end of the growing season was significantly positively correlated with the rainfall in that year. With the increase of rainfall, the Quercus liaotungensis forest offset the evapotranspiration water consumption and supplemented the soil water more than the Robinia pseudoacacia forest. The increment of soil water storage in the two forest communities showed a very significant exponential growth relationship with the secondary rainfall. The supplementary effect of soil moisture in Robinia pseudoacacia forest was greater than that in Quercus liaotungensis forest when the secondary rainfall was small (less than 22 mm), but it was more beneficial to supplement soil moisture in Quercus liaotungensis forest when the secondary rainfall was large (more than 22 mm). [Conclusion] There are significant differences in temporal and spatial variation characteristics of soil moisture between two forest communities, especially in deep soil. Compared with Robinia pseudoacacia forest, the response of soil moisture in Quercus liaotungensis forest to interannual rainfall is more obvious. The difference of soil water storage in two forest communities to rainfall event depends on the amount of rainfall. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Existing cost allocation methods for adaptive video steganography mainly focus on specific transform coefficients, resulting in lower capacity. Moreover, distortion drift is a significant challenge for steganography in HEVC videos. Therefore, this paper proposed a cost allocation method that combined the intra-frame and inter-frame processes of HEVC video coding to achieve high-capacity, low-distortion transmission in high-performance adaptive video steganography. Firstly, the method investigated the discrete sine transform features in HEVC video coding, analyzing the error propagation patterns of these coefficients under disturbance. During the embedding processed, it conducted a detailed analysis on the intra-block distortion, interblock distortion, and inter-frame distortion caused by modifying transform coefficients. The algorithm also took into account the differentiation in inter-block distortion resulting from steganography in different blocks, leading to the classification of blocks. This paper maximized the utilization of all non-zero transform coefficients, allocating distinct distortion costs for various carrier coefficients. The covert information was then embedded into frames that minimally impacted video quality. Experimental results indicate that, compared to existing HEVC video coefficient domain steganography methods, the proposed algorithm demonstrates advantages in terms of video bitrate, video quality, and embedding capacity.

[Objective] The aims of this study are to explore the response characteristics of soil physical and chemical properties and stoichiometric characteristics to stand density of Robinia pseudoacacia and Pinus tabuliformis plantations in loess hilly region, and to provide scientific basis for plantation management in loess hilly region. [Methods] The soil bulk density, water content, soil organic carbon（SOC）, total nitrogen（TN） and total phosphorus（TP） contents of two plantations were measured and analyzed. The variation characteristics and vertical variation characteristics of each index with different density gradients were studied by single factor variance analysis method, and the correlation between each index was analyzed by multi-factor correlation analysis method. [Results]（1） In the vertical distribution characteristics, the SOC and TN contents of each stand showed a significant decreasing trend with the increase of soil depth. There was no significant difference in soil bulk density and TP content.（2） Robinia pseudoacacia forest density had no significant effect on soil bulk density, water content, N∶P and other indicators. SOC, TN, TP and C∶N of low density Robinia pseudoacacia forest were significantly higher than those of other densities.（3） Pinus tabulaeformis forest density had no significant effect on soil bulk density, C∶N, C∶P, N∶P and other indicators. The contents of SOC, TN and TP in high density pine forest were significantly higher than those in other density pine forest.（4） Under the same density, the soil bulk density and water content of Robinia pseudoacacia forest were higher than those of Pinus tabulaeformis forest. The SOC, TN, C∶N, C∶P, N∶P were lower than those of Pinus tabulaeformis forest, except for C∶N, the differences were significant. [Conclusion] The contents of SOC, TN and TP in low-density Robinia pseudoacacia forest were higher, while the contents of SOC, TN and TP in high-density Pinus tabulaeformis forest were higher, and the soil quality of Pinus tabulaeformis forest was relatively better than that of Robinia pseudoacacia forest.

Objective We aimed to determine the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of three different item versions of the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ), to facilitate the clinical application of CCMQ. Methods In total, 537 subjects were included in the analysis. All subjects voluntarily completed a comprehensive of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) constitution intervention (mood, diet, daily living, exercise, and acupoints). The subjects filled out the 60-item CCMQ and the Short Form Health Questionnaire (SF-36) at baseline and 3 months after the intervention. The result of the 41-item and the 30-item CCMQ were scored according to the result of the 60-item CCMQ. An anchor-based approach and a distribution-based approach were used to estimate the MCID of the three versions of the CCMQ. The anchor of the anchor-based approach was SF-36 item 1, and the analysis method were the mean change method and multiple linear regression. The standardized response mean ( SRM) was used for the distribution-based approach. Results The mean change method and multiple linear regression estimation result were averaged and rounded to whole numbers. The MCID values of the 60-item CCMQ of balanced type, qi-deficiency type, yang-deficiency type, yin-deficiency type, phlegm-dampness type, dampness-heat type, blood-stasis type, qi-depression type, and special diathesis type were 5, -5, -3, -3, -4, -4, -4, -4, and -2, respectively. The MCID values of the 41-item CCMQ were 4, -6, -4, -2, -4, -4, -4, -4, and -2, respectively. The MCID values of the 30-item CCMQ were 5, - 5, - 4, - 3, - 4, - 5, - 4, - 5, and - 2, respectively. The MCID values estimated by the anchor-based approach were higher than those estimated when SRM was 0. 2, except for the special diathesis type. Conclusion The MCID values of three different versions of the CCMQ estimated in this study can reflect the minimum score change of the CCMQ considered important and meaningful by patients, which is helpful for doctors in explaining the effect of TCM constitution intervention or setting intervention targets.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between ceruloplasmin（CER）, squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen（SCCA） and chronic renal failure（CRF） and their predictive value for disease progression. Methods: A total of 169 patients with chronic renal failure admitted to our hospital from April 2019 to April 2021 were selected as the study subjects. According to 12 h urinary albumin quantification,the patients were divided into microalbuminuria group（＜200 mg/24 h, 102 cases） and macroalbuminuria group（＞200 mg/24 h, 67 cases）. The laboratory indexes and serum CER and SCCA levels of the two groups were compared, and the relationship between CER, SCCA and renal function indexes of patients with chronic renal failure was analyzed. Patients were followed up for 24 months to observe the progression of the disease. Area under receiver operating Characteristic Curve（AUC） was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of CER combined with SCCA on the progression of the disease. Results: The levels of serum creatinine（Scr） and blood urea nitrogen（BUN） in moderate proteinuria group were higher than those in mild proteinuria group, and the glomerular filtration rate（GFR） was lower than that in mild proteinuria group（P＜0.05）. The levels of CER and SCCA in moderate proteinuria group were higher than those in mild proteinuria group（P＜0.05）. Pearson correlation analysis showed that CER and SCCA levels were positively correlated with Scr and BUN, but negatively correlated with GFR（P＜0.05）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that GFR,CER and SCCA were independent predictors of chronic renal failure（P＜0.05）. According to ROC curve analysis, the AUC of CER combined with SCCA in predicting the progression of chronic renal failure was 0.926,which was significantly higher than 0.683 of GFR（P＜0.05）. Conclusion: The levels of CER and SCCA are negatively correlated with renal function in patients with chronic renal failure. The combined efficacy of CER and SCCA in predicting the progression of patients’ disease is good and worthy of clinical attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nano-selenium, as a kind of new functional nanomaterials, has attracted wide attention from all over the word. Compared with inorganic selenium, organic selenium or elemental selenium, nano-selenium has a lot of outstanding features, including high biological activity, low toxicity, and large surface area. Biosynthetic process is regarded as a relatively efficient and environment-friendly pathway to produce nanomaterials. Our previous study found that Bacillus subtilis subspecies stercoris strain XP, as a biocontrol bacteria strain, not only had strong resistance to selenium or salt, but also had strong ability of transform inorganic selenium with higher toxicity into selenium nanoparticle (SeNP) with higher bioactivity and safety. Furthermore, the strain XP has been confirmed to have higher safety and bioactivity compared to those identified strains. But so far, the SeNP yield from selenite reduction by strain XP metabolism is inefficient, which seriously hinders the wide application of this technology. As we all known, fermentation process parameters have great influence on the selenite reduction and SeNP yield. Choosing appropriate parameters can increase in the SeNP production, as well as reduce the cost of SeNP synthesis. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been considered to be an effective method of process parameter optimization. In this study, the synthesis conditions (e.g., selenite concentration, speed of cultivation, dosage of inoculation) were further optimized to improve the biological efficiency of SeNP synthesis by strain XP. The fermentation conditions were optimized by single factor test, Box-Behnken design (BBD), and response surface methodology. Firstly, the effects of different initial Se (IV) concentrations (1-8 mmol/L) in the culture medium, shaker speeds (120-200 r/min), and the amounts of strain XP inoculation (0.5-10%) on SeNP production were tested by single factor experiment. The production of SeNP increased first and then decreased with gradual increase of initial Se (IV) concentrations. With the shaking speed going up from 120 r/min to 200 r/min, SeNP production also increased first and then decreased. When the inoculum amount of strain XP was between 0.5% and 10%, the yield of SeNP enhanced rapidly along with the increase of inoculum amount. The results showed that each selected experiment parameter had a strong influence on the SeNP production within their scopes: 1-4 mmol/L Se(IV), 120-180 r/min, and 2.5%-10%, respectively. Based on it, the optimal range of each indicator was confirmed. Meanwhile, the above three factors were taken as the influencing factors and SeNP production was used as the response index. Secondly, the Box-Behnken response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the fermentation conditions of strain XP used for SeNP biosynthesis. Finally, the optimal theoretical value of fermentation condition obtained through response surface experiments were verified by actual experiments. The results indicated that the optimal fermentation condition for SeNP biosynthesis by Bacillus subtilis XP were as follows: initial Se (IV) concentration of 3.4 mmol/L, shaker speed of 157 r/min, and inoculum amount of 9.9%. The SeNP production was 1.82 mmol/L under the optimum condition, which was increased by more than 60% over that under normal condition. Moreover, the seed germination experiment was conducted for confirming the bio-activity of SeNP biosynthesis under optimized culture condition. Application of SeNP could effectively stimulate the Indian lettuce seed vigor and promote the germination process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective A holistic and comprehensive analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitutions health states was conducted to explore the impact of different concurrently clamped constitution histories on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Methods　Using the convenient sampling method, the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire-41 entry short version, the Chinese verison of SF- 36, and other tools were used to measure the unpaid blood donor population aged 18 to 60 years old, and the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis was used to explore configuration of the TCM constitution that affected HRQOL. Results The mean age of the 2 254 study subjects included in the analysis was (30. 72±9. 78) years. The percentage of gentleness constitution was 35. 71%, and 33. 81% had a combination of more than 3 types biased constitutions. Three categories of TCM constitution groupings negatively influenced HRQOL in the physiological domain. First, non-gentleness constitution, qi-deficiency constitution, yang-deficiency constitution, phlegm-wetness constitution, and blood-stasis constitution were the core conditions; second, non-gentleness constitution, qi-deficiency constitution, phlegm-wetness constitution, blood-stasis constitution and special diathesis constitution were the core conditions; and third, all eight biased constitutions were present as core conditions. Three categories of TCM constitution groupings negatively influenced HRQOL in the psychological domain. First, non-gentleness constitution, qideficiency constitution, phlegm-wetness constitution, blood-stasis constitution, and qi-depression constitution were the core conditions; second, non-gentleness constitution, qi-deficiency constitution, yin-deficiency constitution, wetness-heat constitution, and qi-depression constitution were the core conditions; and third, all eight biased constitutions occurred as core conditions. Conclusion　The fuzzyset qualitative comparative analysis method with a configuration perspective revealed the effect of TCM constitution on HRQOL as a multi-component combination of concurrent mechanisms. The diversity of concurrently clamped constitution and the complexity of its relationship with HRQOL were fully analyzed, and this results provide a reference direction for researchers to dig deeper into the intervention pathways of TCM constitution conditioning to enhance quality of life.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lactase drops in the treatment of lactose intolerance in premature infants, so as to promote the breastfeeding rate of premature infants. METHODS: A multi-center and non-randomized controlled clinical study was conduct, preterm infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks and symptoms of feeding intolerance admitted to neonatology departments of the Children’ s Hospital of Fudan University, the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Children’s Hospital of Shanghai were selected as research objects, which were divided into research group and control group via non-randomized method. The research group was given breast milk + lactase or liquid milk for preterm infants + lactase, while the control group was fed with deeply hydrolyzed lactose-free formula or amino acid formula. The primary observation indicators were lactose intolerance symptoms, stool pH and fecal reducing sugar; the secondary observation indicators were growth and development indicators. RESULTS: A total of 117 premature infants were enrolled from Jul. 2017 to Jul. 2020, finally 56 children in the research group and 18 children in the control group had completed the study. Compared with the control group, the research group had a greater rate of weight gain at 2 weeks of enrollment, with statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). There was no statistical significance in differences in the reduction of stool frequency, results of stool pH test and percentage of negative conversion of fecal reducing sugar between two groups after 2 weeks of enrollment (P>0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: Both lactase and lactose-free formula can effectively treat lactase deficiency. Although the onset of action of lactase is slower than that of lactose-free formula, breast milk combined with lactase feeding can significantly help children’s weight gain without giving up breastfeeding.

Abstract:Objective We aimed ( ⅰ) to explore the correlation between the public′s acute stress reaction( ASR) and the constitution of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) during the COVID-19 epidemic and (ⅱ) to provide a basis for adjusting the constitution bias and improving the public′s ability to cope with COVID-19 under the normalized management of the epidemic. Methods From February 3 to February 15, 2022, an electronic questionnaire survey was conducted using a combination of convenient sampling and snowball sampling. Statistics of basic information (gender, age, marital status, educational background, the likelihood of believing that they are infected, the likelihood of believing that people around them are infected, whether the location is a risk area, and whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 ), the scores of the Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ), and TCM constitution transformation scores of each subscale of a 30-Item Short Version of Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire ( CCMQ - 30) were calculated. Those with a SASRQ score of ≥40 were included in the ASR group, and those with a SASRQ score of <40 were included in the non-ASR group. The basic information and TCM constitution of the two groups were compared. Spearman correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed to examine the correlation between the total SASRQ score and the transformation score of each CCMQ- 30 subscale. Results A total of 1 218 questionnaires were collected, of which 116 invalid questionnaires were excluded, so 1 102 samples were included in the final analysis. The effective rate of the questionnaire was 90. 48%. (ⅰ) There were 892 people in the non-ASR group and 210 people in the ASR group. There were no significant differences in gender, age, marital status, educational background, whether the location was a risk area, the possibility of infection, and vaccination between the two groups (P>0. 05), while there were significant differences in the possibility of believing that people around them are infected (P<0. 05); the proportion of people who perceived the possibility of infection was higher in the ASR group than in the non-ASR group. (ⅱ) There were significant differences in the scores of nine TCM constitutions between the ASR group and the non-ASR group (P< 0. 05). Correlation analysis showed that the total SASRQ score was negatively correlated with balanced constitution (r = -0. 353, P<0. 01), while it was positively correlated with eight biased constitutions; ordered based on the correlation from strong to weak, these constitutions were the following: qi-stagnation, qi-deficiency, blood-stasis, phlegm-dampness, inherited special, yin-deficiency, dampness-heat, and yang-deficiency (r = 0. 235 to 0. 367, P < 0. 01). ( ⅲ) Multiple linear regression analysis controlling for the interaction of biased constitutions showed that qi-stagnation( β′ = 0. 214, P<0. 01), qi-deficiency ( β′ = 0. 139, P<0. 05), and inherited special constitution ( β′ = 0. 088, P < 0. 01) were the independent influencing factors of ASR. Further control for confounding variables yielded similar result. Conclusion Qi-stagnation, qideficiency, and inherited special constitution have a great influence on public ASR. It is suggested to focus on adjusting qi-stagnation, qi-deficiency, and inherited special constitution to improve public physical and mental health under the normal management of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Single infected persons accounted for the majority (78.94%). In all positive specimens, the number of high-risk infection cases was more than that of low-risk infection cases. The highest infection rates were HPV52 (21.83%), HPV16 （11.38%), and HPV58 (10.76%), respectively. Participants were divided into ≤ 20 years old group, 21 to 30 years old group, 31 to 40 years old group, 41 to 50 years old group, 51 to 60 years old group and > 60 years old group according to age. The HPV infection rate was highest in the > 60 years old group, followed by the 21 to 30 years old group and the 51 to 60 years old group. Conclusions HPV infection in women in Kunming is mainly a hhigh-risk type. Elderly and people under 30 years old need to strengthen prevention and treatment education, and it is recommended that women of appropriate age receive multivalent cervical cancer vaccine as soon as possible.

Objective　To develop the knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP) scale for preventive treatment of disease through constitution of Chinese medicine(KAP-PTDCCM) and test its reliability and validity, in order to provide an assessing tool for health management in preventive treatment through constitution of Chinese medicine. Methods　The KAP-PTDCCM was initially developed by referring to literature review combined with expert opinion based on the KAP Theory. A convenience sample of 922 students from three universities in Xinjiang and Beijing were investigated. Reliabilities of KAP-PTDCCM were tested by internal consistency reliability and split-half reliability. Validities of KAP-PTDCCM were tested by construct validity, convergent validity and discriminant validity. Results　The KAP-PTDCCM consisted of 24 items belonging to three dimensions: Knowledge(8 items), Belief/ Attitude(9 items), and Practice (7 items). The total Cronbach′s α value of KAP-PTDCCM was 0. 925(>0. 9) and varied from 0. 887 to 0. 943(>0. 8) for its three dimensions. Split-half reliability was 0. 960. Results of exploratory factor analysis were in accordance with KAP theory, and the cumulative contribution rate of the top three factors was 66. 33%. The indexes of confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fitness of the model. Convergent validity showed that correlation coefficients ranged from 0. 538 to 0. 838(P<0. 05), and discriminant validity showed that correlation coefficients ranged from 0. 096 to 0. 541(P<0. 05). The successful rate was 100% according to the convergent validity and discriminant validity tests. Conclusion　The 24-item scale of KAP-PTDCCM seems to show good reliability and validity for the application in evaluating the knowledge, attitude, practice, and health management effect of preventive treatment of disease through constitution of Chinese medicine.
