[Characteristics of the confined space accident and its medical rescue strategy].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the characteristics of the confined space accident and its medical rescue strategy. METHODS: Thirty-six patients with emergency rescue in the five confined space accident during June 2009 to July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-nine people were caught in four confined space accidents caused by building collapse and 7 people were caught in one confined space accident caused by a tower of babel blast furnace damage which caused severe gas and hydrogen sulfide poisoning. For the 36 wounded, the shortest rescue time was 1.5 hours and the longest was 10.5 hours. Fourteen people were killed (mortality rate 38.89%). Characteristics of the confined space accident: the wounded activity environment was very harsh, the wounded were restricted particularly, the wounded injuries were diverse, the psychological depression was very common. The confined space environment and the complexity of wounded disease determined its medical rescue specificity and were very different from the usual trauma emergency. CONCLUSIONS: Confined space accident caused very painful casualties. The key reason is that the relevant personnel failed to clearly recognize the potential risks in the confined space or nearby, making the confined space into another "quiet killer". This problem needs to be paid highly attention.

[Analysis of Lop Nur "Ear" features in remote sensing image and its environmental meaning].

There is a great significance of revealing the characteristics of regional environment evolution and global change to the research on arid Lop Nur areas. By the "Ear" features of Lop Nur in remote sensing image, the spectrum, soil and surface parameters were analyzed. The differences in total salt content in soil and the surface structure bring are cause directly for the "Ear" features in remote sensing image; The results of the analysis of spectrum, total salt content and particle size are in good agreement. "Ear" features recorded the process of environmental change. The process implys that Lop Nur dried up gradually under the impact of global change. The adjustment during the process of drying up let Lop Nur experience two relatively humid climates, with the previous a little longer, the later very short.

[Relationship between photosynthetic characteristics and environmental factors in leaves of Pueraria lobata].

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between photosynthetic characteristics and environmental factors in leaves of P. lobata. METHOD: Photosynthetic characteristics and environmental factors were measured by using CIRAS-2 portable photosynthesis system. RESULT: The apparent quantum yield in leaves was 0.0173 micromol CO2 x micromol(-1) photon. The dark respiration rate was 2.9333 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1). The light compensation point of photosynthesis was 180 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1). The light saturation point was 1600 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1). The carboxylation efficiency was 0.0338 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1). The light respiration rate was 2.5 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1). The CO2 compensation point was 100 micromol x mol(-1), The CO2 saturation point was 1 600 micromol x mol(-1). CONCLUSION: Photo flux density and air temperature are major environmental factors influencing diumal changes of net photosynthetic rate.

[Observation of pollen tube germination of Platycodon grandiflorum by fluorescence microscopy].

OBJECTIVE: To determine the self-compatibility of Platycodon grandiflorum and the location of microspore germination on stigma. METHOD: The microspore germination of self-pollination, self-plant-pollination and cross-pollination and the pollination microspore germination in and outside of stigma were observed with fluorescence microscopy. RESULT: Most pollens of self-pollination, self-plant-pollination and cross-pollination can germinate on the stigma, and after 24 hours, pollen tube entered into the ovary successfully. Pollinated on the outer-surface of stigma, microspores could not germinate, but on the inner-surface of the stigma when it dehisced most microspores can germinate. CONCLUSION: The compatibility of self-plant-pollination of Platycodon grandiflorum is high. The microspore germination loci is on the inner-surface of the dehisced stigma.
