Lignin Characterization of Triploid Clones of Populus tomentosa Carr.

In order to understand the structural characteristics of lignin in triploid clones ofPopulus tomentosa and its changes in the processes of pulping and bleaching, milled wood lignin （MWL）, lignin carbohydrate complex （LCC） and the residual lignin from kraft pulp （KP） and sulfite pulp （SP） were isolated and analyzed by Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectrum and ^13C nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR）. The most diagnostic peaks were assigned and the differences were discussed. The spectral patterns reveal that triploid P tomentosa shows the specific features of hardwood from temperate areas, but in the spectrum of FTIR, the strength ratio orAl270 cm^-1 to A1226 cm^-1 is 0.88, higher than the average of hardwood from temperate areas, which will make the lignin delignification more difficult during pulping and bleaching. The LCC from triploid P tomentosa is mainly composed of xyloglucan and glucuronic acid, and other glucides have much lower ratio. In LCC FTIR, there are three peaks at 1 427, 1 329 and 1 046 cm^-1, indicating that both semi-cellulose and cellulose could exist in LCC, and that there might be relationships between cellulose and lignin. Compared with the residual lignin from KP and SP, the condensed structure in KP is more than that in SP.     

Breed Differences in Natriuretic Peptides in Healthy Dogs

Background

Measurement of plasma concentration of natriuretic peptides (NPs) is suggested to be of value in diagnosis of cardiac disease in dogs, but many factors other than cardiac status may influence their concentrations. Dog breed potentially is 1 such factor.

Objective

To investigate breed variation in plasma concentrations of pro‐atrial natriuretic peptide 31‐67 (proANP 31‐67) and N‐terminal B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) in healthy dogs.

Animals

535 healthy, privately owned dogs of 9 breeds were examined at 5 centers as part of the European Union (EU) LUPA project.

Methods

Absence of cardiovascular disease or other clinically relevant organ‐related or systemic disease was ensured by thorough clinical investigation. Plasma concentrations of proANP 31‐67 and NT‐proBNP were measured by commercially available ELISA assays.

Results

Overall significant breed differences were found in proANP 31‐67 (P < .0001) and NT‐proBNP (P < .0001) concentrations. Pair‐wise comparisons between breeds differed in approximately 50% of comparisons for proANP 31‐67 as well as NT‐proBNP concentrations, both when including all centers and within each center. Interquartile range was large for many breeds, especially for NT‐proBNP. Among included breeds, Labrador Retrievers and Newfoundlands had highest median NT‐proBNP concentrations with concentrations 3 times as high as those of Dachshunds. German Shepherds and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels had the highest median proANP 31‐67 concentrations, twice the median concentration in Doberman Pinschers.

Conclusions and Clinical Importance

Considerable interbreed variation in plasma NP concentrations was found in healthy dogs. Intrabreed variation was large in several breeds, especially for NT‐proBNP. Additional studies are needed to establish breed‐specific reference ranges.

Can P NMR spectroscopy be used to indicate the origins of soil organic phosphates?

The relationship between organic P status of 4 soils, 20 microorganisms isolated from these soils (2 bacteria and 3 fungi for each soil) and 13 dominant plant species of typical natural ecosystems of these soils was evaluated. The soils used were represented by two pairs with different ratios of monoester and diester P, and of DNA and other diester P. A Dystric Podzoluvisol and an alpine Umbric Leptosol were characterized by a relatively high proportion of diester P including much DNA P, while a Calcic Chernozem and subalpine Umbric Leptosol had lower proportion of diesters containing relatively less DNA P. The proportions of P compounds in bacteria and plants were very similar on average, based on the monoester to diester P ratio and on the proportions of different diesters in alkaline extract, whereas fungi contained considerably higher proportions of monoesters and polyphosphates, and a higher proportion of phospholipids in the diester fraction. The results showed that the P_org composition of NaOH extracts from different soils was more similar to the composition of extracts from different groups of microorganisms. There was no clear correspondence between soil and microbial diester P proportion and composition. A high proportion of polyphosphate P including pyrophosphate P in soil extracts indicates a significant contribution of fungal P compounds in the soil while the monoester to diester P ratio, and DNA to non-DNA P ratio should be used with caution to interpret the origins of soil P_org. The relative contributions of microorganisms and plants to monoester and diester P in soils is only partially understood.     

应用15N研究前作施用有机肥对烤烟氮肥效应的影响

为进一步促进烤烟轮作周期内有机肥和氮肥的合理施用,采用田间微区试验和田间小区试验相结合的方法,应用稳定性同位素15N示踪技术,研究了前作施用有机肥(秸杆、油枯、腐熟猪粪)对烤烟氮肥效应的影响。结果显示:与对照相比,前作施用有机肥可以促进烤烟的生长,影响烤烟对氮肥的利用;有机肥的种类不同,对烟株各部位叶片中的氮含量的影响不同;前作施用油枯和腐熟猪粪后,烟株不同部位的氮来自肥料的比例增加,提高了烤烟对氮肥的利用率;有机肥前作施用可以提高上部叶的可用性,对中部叶的品质有利。试验的结果表明:前作施用油枯和腐熟猪粪较好。
