The Reform of Basketball Curriculum Model for Students' Physical Development under the National Fitness Environment.

College sports serving national fitness are a complex system. College sports are an important part of national fitness. Basketball curriculum, as a subsystem of college sports, has always been loved by college students. The reform of college basketball curriculum mode is an important way to explore the coordinated evolution of college sports subsystem. Through the methods of questionnaire, interview, and mathematical statistics, aiming at the problems existing in the planning and design of basketball curriculum objectives and contents in colleges and universities, this study puts forward that it is necessary to establish a scientific and reasonable basketball special curriculum objective system and then combine the basketball curriculum teaching theory with the basketball training teaching mode, to cultivate students' practical application ability, and adopt a variety of teaching methods to cultivate students' practical ability. Finally, the teaching mode of basketball is improved. Through an example, the application effect of the basketball curriculum model under the background of national fitness proposed in this study is tested. The results show that the basketball curriculum teaching model proposed in this study has certain feasibility and effectiveness.

Potential 2D thermoelectric material ATeI (A = Sb and Bi) monolayers from a first-principles study.

Lots of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been predicted theoretically and further confirmed in experiments, and have wide applications in nanoscale electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices. In this work, the thermoelectric properties of ATeI (A = Sb and Bi) monolayers are systematically investigated according to semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. It is found that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) has an important effect on the electronic transport coefficients of p-type doping, but a negative influence on n-type doping. The room-temperature sheet thermal conductance is 14.2 [Formula: see text] for SbTeI and 12.6 [Formula: see text] for BiTeI, which is lower than that of most well-known 2D materials, such as the transition-metal dichalcogenide, group IV-VI, group VA and group IV monolayers. The very low sheet thermal conductance of ATeI (A = Sb and Bi) monolayers is mainly due to their small group velocities and short phonon lifetimes. The strongly polarized covalent bonds between A and Te or I atoms induce strong phonon anharmonicity, which gives rise to low lattice thermal conductivity. It is found that the high-frequency optical branches contribute significantly to the total thermal conductivity, which is obviously different from the usual picture, where there is little contribution from the optical branches. According to cumulative lattice thermal conductivity with respect to the phonon mean free path (MFP), it is difficult to further reduce the lattice thermal conductivity using nanostructures. Finally, the possible thermoelectric figure of merit ZT values of the ATeI (A = Sb and Bi) monolayers are calculated. It is found that p-type doping has much better thermoelectric properties than n-type doping. At room temperature, the peak ZT can reach 1.11 for SbTeI and 0.87 for BiTeI, respectively. These results make us believe that ATeI (A = Sb and Bi) monolayers may be potential 2D thermoelectric materials, which could stimulate further experimental work towards the synthesis of these monolayers.

Strain effects on phonon transport in antimonene investigated using a first-principles study.

Strain engineering is a very effective method to continuously tune the electronic, topological, optical and thermoelectric properties of materials. In this work, strain-dependent phonon transport of recently-fabricated antimonene (Sb monolayers) under biaxial strain is investigated using a combination of first-principles calculations and the linearized phonon Boltzmann equation within the single-mode relaxation time approximation (RTA). It is found that the ZA dispersion of antimonene with strain less than -1% gives imaginary frequencies, which suggests that compressive strain can induce structural instability. Experimentally, it is possible to enhance structural stability by tensile strain. The calculated results show that lattice thermal conductivity increases with strain increasing from -1% to 6%, and lattice thermal conductivity at 6% strain is 5.6 times larger than that at -1% strain at room temperature. It is interesting that lattice thermal conductivity is inversely proportional to the buckling parameter h in a considered strain range. Such a strain dependence of lattice thermal conductivity is attributed to enhanced phonon lifetimes caused by increased strain, while group velocities have a decreased effect on lattice thermal conductivity with increasing strain. It is found that acoustic branches dominate the lattice thermal conductivity over the full strain range. The cumulative room-temperature lattice thermal conductivity at -1% strain converges to a maximum with the phonon mean free path (MFP) at 50 nm, while that at 6% strain becomes as large as 44 µm, which suggests that strain can give rise to very strong size effects on lattice thermal conductivity in antimonene. Finally, the increased lattice thermal conductivity caused by increasing strain can be explained by a reduced polarized covalent bond, inducing weak phonon anharmonicity. These results may provide guidance on fabrication techniques of group-VA element (As, Sb, Bi) monolayers, and offer perspectives on tuning lattice thermal conductivity by the size and strain for applications of thermal management and thermoelectricity.

Effects of Nitrogen Addition on Litter Decomposition and CO2 Release: Considering Changes in Litter Quantity.

This study aims to evaluate the impacts of changes in litter quantity under simulated N deposition on litter decomposition, CO2 release, and soil C loss potential in a larch plantation in Northeast China. We conducted a laboratory incubation experiment using soil and litter collected from control and N addition (100 kg ha-1 year-1 for 10 years) plots. Different quantities of litter (0, 1, 2 and 4 g) were placed on 150 g soils collected from the same plots and incubated in microcosms for 270 days. We found that increased litter input strongly stimulated litter decomposition rate and CO2 release in both control and N fertilization microcosms, though reduced soil microbial biomass C (MBC) and dissolved inorganic N (DIN) concentration. Carbon input (C loss from litter decomposition) and carbon output (the cumulative C loss due to respiration) elevated with increasing litter input in both control and N fertilization microcosms. However, soil C loss potentials (C output-C input) reduced by 62% in control microcosms and 111% in N fertilization microcosms when litter addition increased from 1 g to 4 g, respectively. Our results indicated that increased litter input had a potential to suppress soil organic C loss especially for N addition plots.

Pulmonary endoderm, second heart field and the morphogenesis of distal outflow tract in mouse embryonic heart.

The second heart field (SHF), foregut endoderm and sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway are all reported to associate with normal morphogenesis and septation of outflow tract (OFT). However, the morphological relationships of the development of foregut endoderm and expression of SHH signaling pathway members with the development of surrounding SHF and OFT are seldom described. In this study, serial sections of mouse embryos from ED9 to ED13 (midgestation) were stained with a series of marker antibodies for specifically highlighting SHF (Isl-1), endoderm (Foxa2), basement membrane (Laminin), myocardium (MHC) and smooth muscle (α-SMA) respectively, or SHH receptors antibodies including patched1 (Ptc1), patched2 (Ptc2) and smoothened, to observe the spatiotemporal relationship between them and their contributions to OFT morphogenesis. Our results demonstrated that the development of an Isl-1 positive field in the splanchnic mesoderm ventral to foregut, a subset of SHF, is closely coupled with pulmonary endoderm or tracheal groove, the Isl-1 positive cells surrounding pulmonary endoderm are distributed in a special cone-shaped pattern and take part in the formation of the lateral walls of the intrapericardial aorta and pulmonary trunk and the transient aortic-pulmonary septum, and Ptc1 and Ptc2 are exclusively expressed in pulmonary endoderm during this Isl-l positive field development, suggesting special roles played in inducing the Isl-l positive field formation by pulmonary endoderm. It is indicated that pulmonary endoderm plays a role in the development and specification of SHF in midgestation, and that pulmonary endoderm-associated Isl-l positive field is involved in patterning the morphogenesis and septation of the intrapericardial arterial trunks.

Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship of novel aniline derivatives of chlorothalonil.

Chlorothalonil with both low cost and low toxicity is a popularly used fungicide in the agrochemical field. The presence of nucleophilic groups on this compound allows further chemical modifications to obtain novel chlorothalonil derivatives. Fluazinam, another commercially available agent with a broad fungicidal spectrum, has a scaffold of diaryl amine structure. To mimic this backbone structure, a variety of (un)substituted phenyl amines was used as nucleophilic agents to react with chlorothalonil to obtain compounds with a diphenyl amine structure. Via an elegant design, two leads, 2,4,5-trichloro-6-(2,4-dichlorophenylamino)isophthalonitrile (7) and 2,4,5-trichloro-6-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylamino)isophthalonitrile (11), with potential fungicidal activity were discovered after a preliminary bioassay screen. These two leads were further modified to obtain final products by replacing the chlorine groups in the phenyl ring in phenyl amine with other functional groups. These functional groups with various electronic properties and spatial characteristics were considered to explore the relationship between structure and fungicidal activity. The results indicate that the electron-withdrawing group NO2 on the 4 position on the right phenyl ring plays a unique role on enhancing the fungicidal activity. The compounds were identified by proton nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis. Bioassays demonstrated that some of the title compounds exhibited excellent fungicidal activities against cucumber downy mildew at 25 mg/L. Compound 20 has been shown as the optimal structure with 85% control against cucumber downy mildew at 6.25 mg/L concentration. The relationship between structure and fungicidal activity is reported. The present work demonstrates that chlorothalonil derivatives can be used as possible lead compounds for developing novel fungicides.

[Effects of understory removal and nitrogen addition on the soil chemical and biological properties of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation in Keerqin Sandy Land].

A full factorial experiment was conducted to study the effects of understory removal and nitrogen addition (8 g x m(-2)) on the soil NO(3-)-N and NH(4+)-N concentrations, potential net nitrogen mineralization rate (PNM) and nitrification rate (PNN), microbial biomass C (MBC) and N (MBN), MBC/MBN, urease and acid phosphomonoesterase activities, and Olsen-P concentration in a Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica plantation in Keerqin Sandy Land during a growth season. Understory removal decreased the soil NH(4+)-N concentration, PNM, MBC, and MBN/MBN significantly, increased the soil Olsen-P concentration, but had little effects on the soil NO(3-)-N concentration, PNN, and urease and acid phosphomonoesterase activities. Nitrogen addition increased the soil NO(3-)-N concentration, PNM and PNN significantly, but had little effects on the other test properties. The interaction between understory removal and nitrogen addition had significant effects on the soil NH(4+)-N concentration, but little effects on the soil NO(3-)-N concentration. However, the soil NO(3-)-N concentration in the plots of understory removal with nitrogen addition was increased by 27%, compared with the plots of nitrogen addition alone, which might lead to the leaching of NO3-. It was suggested that understory vegetation could play an important role in affecting the soil chemical and biological properties in Mongolian pine plantations, and hence, the importance of understory vegetation should not be neglected when the forest management and restoration were implemented.

The discovery of SYP-10913 and SYP-11277: novel strobilurin acaricides.

BACKGROUND: As previously reported, methyl (E)-2-[2-(2-phenylamino-6-trifluoromethylpyrimidin-4-yloxymethyl)phenyl]-3-methoxyacrylate has proven to be a new lead with highly acaricidal activity. Following on from this, in an effort to discover new strobilurin analogues with improved activity, a series of substituted pyrimidines were synthesised and bioassayed. RESULTS: All compounds were characterised by (1) H NMR, IR, MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary bioassays demonstrated that some of the title compounds exhibited notable control of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisd.) at 1.25 mg L(-1) . The relationship between structure and acaricidal activity is discussed. CONCLUSION: Two compounds of particular interest, 6j (SYP-10913) and 6k (SYP-11277), exhibited potent acaricidal activity. The acaricidal potencies of these analogues are higher than that of fluacrypyrim in greenhouse applications, and are comparable with those of commercial acaricides such as spirodiclofen and propargite in field trials.

[Effect of the tumescent infiltration solution temperature on body temperature].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of tumescent infiltration solution temperature on core body temperature after liposuction. METHODS: 15 healthy female subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups to receive tumescent infiltration solution at 25 degrees C as group A, or at 37 degrees C as group B. All subjects were under epidural anesthesia. Vital signs, including core temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure, were monitored immediately, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours and 8 hours after operation. RESULTS: The core body temperature immediately, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours after operation were (35.8 +/- 0.5) degrees C, (35.8 +/- 0.5) degrees C, (36.0 +/- 0.5) degrees C, (36.1 +/- 0.5) degrees C in group A, and (36.5 +/- 0.4) degrees C, (36.5 +/- 0.3) degrees C, (36.5 +/- 0.3) degrees C, (36.6 +/- 0.4) degrees C in group B, showing a significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.008, P = 0.008, P = 0.03, P = 0.033, respectively). There was no difference in body temperature 4 hours and 8 hours after operation and in heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure between the two groups (P > 0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: The tumescent infiltration solutions at room temperature (25 degrees C) can decrease the core body temperature and increase surgical risk. It might not be good for rehabilitation. It is recommended to use tumescent infiltration solution at body temperature (37 degrees C) in liposuction.

[Application principles of hatchet skin flap for repairing tissue defect of cheek].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the design principles, clinical results and significance of hatchet skin flaps for repairing tissue defects in different parts of cheek. METHODS: The area of cheek was divided into three parts, P(I), P(II) and P(III), with vertical lines through the medial canthus and lateral canthus. Different kinds of hatchet skin flaps were designed to repair tissue defects in different part of cheek. The hatchet skin flaps were performed in 29 cases with tissue defects in different part of cheek from August 2005 to August 2009. There were 17 male and 12 female, aged from 19 to 81 years, with a mean age of (45 ± 16) years. The size of tissue defect ranged from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm × 3.5 cm. Patients' satisfactions were evaluated with a questionnaire in 5 aspects:color and texture match, scar, morbidity, and function after 6 months operatively. RESULTS: All the flaps survived completely with good color and tissue match. The facial contour was not altered obviously. Six to eighteen months later, all scars were almost invisible. All 29 patients were satisfied with their results. CONCLUSIONS: The hatchet skin flap is one of the versatile reconstructive methods for repairing of medium and small defects in the three parts of cheek. Defects in different part of cheek should be repaired individually with hatchet flap based on characters of natural lines.

Preliminary bioassays demonstrated that some of the title compounds exhibited excellent acaricidal activity against Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisd.) at 10 mg L(-1). The relationship between structure and acaricidal activity is reported. CONCLUSION: The present work demonstrates that strobilurin derivatives containing pyrimidine moieties can be used as possible lead compounds for developing novel acaricides.

Design, synthesis and fungicidal activity of novel strobilurin analogues containing substituted N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amines.

A series of novel compounds (5-8) was designed and synthesized by integrating the active pharmacophore of the N-phenylpyrimidin-2-amine fungicide with the structure of strobilurin fungicide. The rationale of this approach was to determine if these new compounds exhibit unique biological activity (selectivity and potency) compared with the commercial standards. The title compounds were prepared from 2-(phenylamino)pyrimidin-4-ols (3) by treatment with one equivalent of intermediates (4) containing strobilurin pharmacophores. 2-(Phenylamino)pyrimidin-4-ols (3) were in turn prepared from phenylguanidines (1) and substituted beta-ketoesters (2). Biological activities evaluated in the greenhouse indicated that compounds 5a, 6a and 7a have good fungicidal activity at 25 mg/L, comparable with that of the commercial standards, cyprodinil and azoxystrobin.

[3-dimensional CT cephalometry before and after mandibular angle osteotomy and its clinical significance].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the change of skeleton structure and masseter after mandibular angle osteotomy and its clinical significance in preoperative design. METHODS: 3-dimensional CT cephalometry was performed before and after surgery in 18 cases of prominent mandibular angle. RESULTS: Pre- and post-operative data were compared. Significant differences between the pre- and post-operative data were found in the mandibular angle, the distance between mandibular angle, length of ramus, ectropion angle of mandibular angle, triangle Go-Me-Go, the thickness, width and length of masseter. CONCLUSIONS: It indicates the skeleton structure is changed and some kind of atrophy happens in the masseter after operation. So we suggest partial resection of masseter should be unnecessary for mandibular angle osteotomy.

[3-dimensional finite elements vitodynamics analysis for mandible after mandibular angle osteotomy].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of mandibular vitodynamics in powerful bite working condition and impact working condition after mandibular angle osteotomy through 3-dimensional finit element analysis. METHODS: A patient of prominent mandibualr angle without malocclusion was selected and underwent 3-dimensional CT before and after operation. The DICOM data of 3-dimensional CT were read by Mimics software and 3-dimensional images were reconstructed. Then the 3-dimensional images were changed into IGES format and imported into ANSYS10.0. The boundary constrained condition and pre-processing condition was setting in ANSYS10.0 software. The 3-dimensional finite element models were generated in ANSYS10.0. Solution process was running and most powerful bite working condition and impact working condition were simulated and calculated. RESULTS: In static stress analysis, the stress peak and stress maximal value point of mandible were basically at equal pace in preoperative and postoperative models. In transience dynamic stress analysis, although stress discrepancies were found in part time point and some region of mandible between preoperative model and postoperative model, the direction and topography of main stress were basically at equal pace. Main stress distributed beside external oblique line and concentrates at the neck of condyle. There was no significant difference of stress conduction and distribution between preoperative and postoperative models. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with preoperative model, postoperative model has different transduction phases of stress, but has almost the same tolerance extents of main stress.

After treatment, the symptoms and signs, pulmonary function in the test group were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: SHAO's "five needling methods" has significant therapeutic effect for treatment of asthma of deficiency of lung and spleen, which is better than that of the routine needling method.

[Comparison study of three methods for the treatment of microgenia].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical results and complications of three methods for microgenia, including chin augmentation with silicone implant, bone autograft, and genioplasty. METHODS: The advantages and disadvantages of the three methods for microgenia were assessed through 3-D CT reconstruction, X-ray and intraoperative observation during the second operation. The indications for each technique were also studied. RESULTS: The frequently observed problems for chin augmentation with silicone implants were implant malposition, underlying bone absorption, periosteal reaction and undercorrection. Chin augmentation with bone autograft had a great long-term bone graft absorption which led to undercorrection. Genioplasty showed a satisfactory cosmetic result with no serious complication. CONCLUSIONS: Chin augmentation with silicone implant is suitable for mild microgenia with a shallow mentolabial groove, but without facial vertical insufficient and facial asymmetry. Genioplasty can be used in all kinds of microgenia in any severity, especially those with deviated chin and facial asymmetry. Chin augmentation with bone autograft can't achieve good long-term result and should be applied prudently.

OBJECTIVE: To appraise results of augmentation rhinoplasty with combination of CT and clinical examination. METHODS: 10 female patients (average 29 years old) of augmentation rhinoplasty with longer than 3 months, period of recovery were selected. All of them received cranial CT examination and aesthetic evaluation. RESULT: Although 60% of patients were pleased with their augmentation rhinoplasty, 90% of them existed problems in varied extent, if evaluated by CT-investigation and physical examination. CONCLUSION: modification in prosthesis had a direct effect on postoperative aesthetic effects. In order to improve outcomes and to lower complications, individual prosthesis were required.
