Published: January 2023

By utilising high-throughput sequencing technology, we systematically analysed microbial flora changes in tobacco fields intercropping various Lamiaceae plants that are cultivated mainly for extracting the aromatic compounds. The results showed that the number of soil microorganisms in the rhizosphere changed during the resettling, flourishing, and harvesting periods. Among these periods, the number of actinomycetes in the flourishing period increased, which played a role in enhancing the disease resistance of tobacco plants to a certain extent. The soil microbial diversity analyses revealed that the amount, species and Alpha diversity index of rhizosphere soil microbes were the highest at the resettling and flourishing stages. Bacterial floras belonging toActinobacteria, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Nitrospiraewere the dominant ones, playing a certain role in the soil nitrogen cycle and supply. For both bacteria or and fungi, the difference between communities of the soils with the intercropping pattern was greater than that of the control.

Authors: LIU Zhenming , LIU Haitao , Yang Donghui
Published: January 2023

An experiment was carried out to find out whether long-term no-tillage poses a threat to soil fertility and crop yield at the Changwu Loess Plateau Agricultural Ecological Experiment Station of Northwest A&F University in Changwu County, Shaanxi Province. Before seeding winter wheat in September 2020, the three tillage methods, namely no-tillage, conventional and rotational tillage were conducted on the experimental field that had undergone three consecutive years of no-tillage. After the winter wheat harvest in 2021, total soil nutrients, available soil nutrients, and wheat yield in the soil layer of 0-30 cm were analyzed under various tillage methods. Results showed a decreasing trend in the contents of total nitrogen and soil organic carbon (SOC) in the soil layer of 0-30 cm under three tillage methods. The SOC content and total nitrogen in the 0-10 cm layer were no tillage > rotation tillage > conventional tillage. The contents of P and K decreased with an increase in the layer of 0-30 cm soil depth under the three tillage methods. The available P and K contents were decreased by 16.07, 32.74, 15.54 and 27.08%, respectively in the soil layer of 10-20, 20-30 cm, compared to those in the layer of 0-10 cm (P < 0.05). Using various tillage methods, the content of available P under conventional tillage was significantly reduced by 11.31% in the 0-10 cm layer compared to that under no-tillage. Soil available k content under conventional tillage and rotation tillage decreased significantly by 6.16 and 4.97% compared to no tillage (P < 0.05), respectively. In the layer of 20-30 cm soil, available P content was significantly increased under conventional tillage by 18.12% compared to that under no-tillage, and available K contents were significantly increased under conventional tillage by 17.17 and 9.22% compared to that under no-tillage and rotation tillage, respectively (P < 0.05). The winter wheat yield was in the order of conventional tillage > rotational tillage > no-tillage, with a significant difference between conventional and no-tillage (P < 0.05). Therefore, it is necessary to carry out proper conventional tillage or rotary tillage on the dry loess tableland where no-tillage has been carried out for a longer time.

Authors: Liu Jinbao , Meng Tingting , Dong Zhenyu , Xie Jiancang
Published: January 2023

In order to achieve higher crop yield and improve the utilization efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer resources. Effect of nitrogen on the tillering ability, the aboveground dry matter mass and yield of winter wheat (WW) during the growing period were analyzed in a field experimental plot of Qinling Field Monitoring Center Station in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province from 2020 to 2021. Results demonstrated that nitrogen use significantly improved the tillering ability of WW during the overwintering and turning green stage; however, the use of nitrogen > 120 kg/hm2 did not have a significant impact on the tillering ability of WW. The growth stages were directly proportional to the extent of aboveground dry matter accumulation (DMA) of WW and were found to be maximum at maturity. Greater usage of nitrogen significantly enhanced aboveground DMA before the jointing stage, but nitrogen application as high as 270 kg/hm2 was not conducive to the aboveground DMA after the jointing stage. For WW, at first, the yield increased and then decreased with the increased concentration of nitrogen. When the nitrogen application level was 120 kg/hm2, the highest yield of WW was 7506 kg/ha. However, there was an insignificant increase in yield at nitrogen levels > 120 kg/hm2. In the study area, at nitrogen > 195 kg/hm2, a decrease in yield was observed. Therefore, the recommended nitrogen application level in this area was 120kg/hm2.

Published: January 2023

Pot experiments were carried out to study characteristics of soil selenium (Se) enrichment and its influence on Chinese medicinal plant Abelmoschus manihot, and selenium contents in aboveground parts of A. manihot under conditions of natural Se-rich, low soils and exogenous Se addition were analyzed. Results indicated that contents of total Se and various Se fractions of natural Se-rich soil were significantly higher than that of Se-low soil (P < 0.05), and Se content in aboveground parts of A. manihot grown in natural Serich soil was significantly higher than that in natural Se-low soil (P < 0.05). The Se content in aboveground parts of A. manihot increased with the increase of soil total Se content, soil pH and contents of various Se fractions, showing significant tolerance to high Se. Moreover, it was initially found that A. manihot could effectively absorb soil Se even in relatively low Se soil conditions (soil Se content of 0.11~0.12 mg/kg) and thus reaching the standard of Se-rich crops.

Authors: Hao Qili
Published: January 2023

The main factors affecting the yield of mid-ripening maize varieties were clarified to provide reference for breeding and production of summer maize varieties in Guanzhong Plain, Shaanxi Province. According to the relevant agronomic trait data of 11 new maize varieties planted in the Guanzhong Plain summer maize regional trial introduced in Shaanxi Province in 2019, analysis of the main characters of the new maize varieties were carried out using the multiple linear regression method. It can provide reference for the selection of maize agronomic traits. The agronomic traits that were significantly related to yield of summer maize varieties in Shaanxi Province were 100-grain 1weight, number of grains in row, seed rate, empty stalk rate and ear length, etc. When selecting maize varieties, under the premise of ensuring proper 100-grain weight and ear length, one should pay attention to the selection of varieties with high seed rate and low empty stalk rate. In the breeding of high-yielding maize varieties, lodging resistance should be enhanced, the rate of empty stalks should be reduced, the rate of seed production should be increased, 100-grain weight and ear diameter should be appropriately increased, and ear height should be reduced.

Soil Nutrient Content Analysis of Newly-Increased Farmland in the Process of Land Consolidation In Shaanxi Province, China
Authors: Tong Wei , Liu Jinbao
Published: January 2023

The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of soil nutrient content of newly increased cultivated land in land consolidation, and identify the main factors affecting the productivity of newly increased cultivated land. The soil samples of 101 newly added cultivated land in northern, central and southern Shaanxi were collected, and their pH value, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium contents were measured to analyze the soil nutrient status. The results indicated that the contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium in the newly increased cultivated land were 0.21~23.63 g/kg, 0.20~8.27 g/kg, 2.34~34.16 mg/kg and 51~220 mg/kg, respectively. Compared with the nutrient grading standard of the second national soil survey, the content of soil nutrients in the newly increased cultivated land was relatively low, basically at the level of four to six. It was also revealed that Tte soil nutrient content of newly increased cultivated land in Shaanxi Province is greatly affected by the original land use types in northern Shaanxi and Guanzhong, and the soil nutrient difference in southern Shaanxi is mainly caused by the random changes among plots in the same region; The variance test showed that there were significant differences in soil pH organic matter and available potassium at 0.05 level, but no significant differences in soil total nitrogen and available phosphorus at 0.05 level. (3) It can be seen from the correlation analysis that among the nutrient indicators of the newly increased farmland in Shaanxi, pH organic matter has a significant negative correlation, and organic matter available potassium and available phosphorus available potassium have a very significant correlation. The correlation between soil nutrients in the newly increased farmland is weak, and the coordination between nutrients is poor. The low content of organic matter in soil is the main reason for low fertility. In the later stage of utilization, it is necessary to promote straw returning technology through the reasonable application of organic inorganic fertilizer and the application of soil testing formula fertilization technology, so as to finally realize the stable and high yield of newly added farmland.

Beyond the Gut: The Importance of Controlling Systemic Inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Authors: Phillipson Jackie
Published: January 2023

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management goals have recently focussed on gastrointestinal symptom resolution and mucosal healing. IBD causes systemic disorder, with inflammation occuring both within and outside the gut, with associated morbidity, disability, and quality of life (QoL) impairment. Thus, there is a need to reduce the overall burden of chronic inflammation in IBD.

Environmental factors, genetics, gut microbiota, and the immune system significantly impact IBD and its extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). T cells play a crucial role in immunity, and certain subsets are associated with several chronic inflammatory disorders, including IBD. Targeting such cells and/or key inflammatory cytokines (e.g. interleukins [IL], and tumour necrosis factor [TNF]) provides a basis for several IBD therapies.

Systemic inflammation in IBD can involve the development of fistulae and/or EIMs. Common EIMs include musculoskeletal pain, dermatological and ocular lesions, and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Early diagnosis of fistulae and EIMs should help guide IBD therapy and reduce overall morbidity. Many EIM treatment options are currently available with varying degrees of efficacy e.g. sulfasalazine, COX-2 inhibitors, certain antibiotics, immunomodulators, anti-TNFs, corticosteroids, and ursodeoxycholic acid. However, fistulae and most EIMs respond well to anti-TNFs, such as adalimumab and infliximab.

Prognostic markers aid disease treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a valuable marker of systemic inflammation in IBD (particularly Crohn’s disease [CD]). Current anti-TNF agents (e.g. adalimumab) markedly reduce CRP levels in IBD and have a significant effect on IBD and various EIMs. Numerous novel agents for IBD are under development; examples include Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, IL inhibitors, SMAD-7 blockers, sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) inhibitors, and anti-adhesion molecules.
Cystic Pancreatic Lesions Beyond the Guidelines: Can we Make an Evidence-Based Decision Whether to Resect or to Observe?

Published: January 2023

Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) are no longer considered as rare entities because their prevalence in the general population ranges from 3–20%. They are usually asymptomatic, incidentally discovered, and diagnosed in the seventh decade of life. The main clinical concern with regard to PCNs is related to their risk of malignant progression, which is relevant for those PCNs that produce mucin. Since 2006, several sets of international guidelines have proposed algorithms for the management of PCNs, and these have been subsequently validated by several studies. Retrospective review of the literature shows that current treatment of PCNs remains unsatisfactory because the guidelines are based on a low level of evidence. However, the guidelines are able to correctly identify lesions that can be safely followed and, as occurs in vaccination campaigns, they are able to exercise a preventive effect in the general population.
Pathophysiology of Diabetic Kidney Disease

Published: January 2023

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been an immense burden on the healthcare system, and is the leading cause of end stage kidney disease worldwide. DKD involves various intersecting pathways that lead to progressive kidney damage. Due to its versatile pathogenesis, DKD has been a formidable adversary. For many decades, there has not been much development in the arsenal in the fight against DKD, but recently, multiple new prospects have emerged due to the breakthrough in understanding of DKD pathology.

Tireless research of the changes occurring in the kidney as a result of diabetes, and the factors driving these changes, has led to the invention of medications that hopefully will be highly impactful in preventing end stage kidney disease in patients with diabetes. In this review, the authors summarise the timeline of the pathological changes that occur in DKD, the mechanism driving these pathological changes, and the recent discoveries in the pathways leading to DKD. These span over changes in metabolic pathways, inflammatory cascades, epigenetic alterations, and the description of their effects at cellular to structural levels in the kidney as a byproduct of uncontrolled hyperglycaemia. The authors also correlate these mechanisms with a few of the medications that are being utilised to slow down DKD, and some in the pipeline, with some references to the trials that support their use.
The Role of Radical Radiotherapy in Sinonasal Myopericytoma: A Case Report and Literature Overview

Published: January 2023

Myopericytoma (previously defined haemangiopericytoma) is a rare vascular tumour originating from extracapillary cells called pericytes and rarely occurs in paranasal sinuses. Surgical wide resection is the treatment of choice. Post-operative radiotherapy is usually used in the case of incomplete resection. The current study reports a case of a 38-year-old male with an extended maxillary sinus myopericytoma, who developed an early bulky recurrence 3 months after surgical excision. The relapse was treated using salvage radiation therapy with radical purpose. Radiotherapy was completed 52 months ago, at the time of writing, and the patient is alive and disease-free. Although literature data report radioresistance as an important obstacle for management of this tumour, it could be important to start considering myopericytoma as a heterogeneous entity, with different underlying molecular mechanisms, growth kinetics, and response to treatments. High-dose ‘modern radiotherapy’ with radical purpose represents a reliable treatment strategy in cases with no surgical option. Furthermore, given the paucity of data available in the literature regarding this clinical setting, the authors conducted an overview on the topic.
Legislating for a Post-Brexit Scotland: Scottish Parliamentary Scrutiny of UK Statutory Instruments on Retained EU Law
Authors: Brett Taylor Robert , Wilson Adelyn L M
Published: January 2023

The UK formally left the European Union (EU) on 31 January 2020, and entered a transition period until 31 December 2020 (“IP Completion Day”). Thereafter, EU law was no longer binding on the UK as an international source of law, and was replaced by a domestic equivalent, known as “retained EU law”. One of the questions which arose prior to IP Completion Day was how to correct retained EU law in advance of it taking effect, so that it would operate effectively and avoid a so-called “cliff-edge scenario”. Most of these corrections were made using delegated legislation by the UK Government. This was typically done with the consent of the devolved administrations where retained EU law included policy areas within the devolved competences of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, new processes were introduced to provide the Scottish Parliament with an opportunity to approve such consent being given by the Scottish Government. The purpose of this article is to provide new analysis of the impact of this process and its significance for Scots law and Scottish parliamentary scrutiny, as well as to consider the extent to which the challenges observed with that process have been addressed by the successor process which has been in place since IP Completion Day.
