Dynamic characteristics of soil heavy metals and microbial communities under moss cover at different successional stages in a manganese mining area.

The mining and smelting of manganese ores and the accumulation of slag not only pollute the environment and increase the threat to biodiversity, but also adversely affect the health of human and other organisms. Therefore, it's important to study the restoration of manganese mining area. Since mosses play an irreplaceable role in the ecological restoration of mine sites, this study is carried out in a slag heap area that has been in continuous operation for about 50 years, and spatial variation is used instead of temporal variation to study the diversity of moss plants, the characteristics of soil heavy metal changes under moss cover, and the characteristics of bacterial communities in manganese mine sites at different time scales. A total of 20 moss taxa from 8 genera and 5 families are recorded, the dominant families are Bryaceae (50%) and Pottiaceae (25%), with the development of succession, the alpha-diversity index of mosses increases with the development of succession. The study area has a relatively high level of heavy metal contamination, the heavy metals Mn, V, Cu and Ni are significantly affected by succession in the Manganese mining area, and the soil heavy metal content generally shows a decreasing trend with the development of succession. Actinobacteriota, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi Acidobacteriota and Gemmatimonadota are the dominant soil bacterial phyla in manganese mining areas (relative abundance > 10%), the composition of soil bacteria at different successional stages at the phylum level was the same, but the abundance of each bacterial community differed. The soil bacterial community in the manganese mining area is significantly affected by soil heavy metals.

Effects of plastic film residue and emitter flow rate on soil water infiltration and redistribution under different initial moisture content and dry bulk density.

Drip irrigation technology combined with film mulching has expanded rapidly in arid and semi-arid areas. Without sufficient mulch film recovery, large amounts of plastic film remain in the field, changing the original water infiltration movement, which is not well understood. In this study, structural equation modeling was used to study the impact of residual plastic film (RPF) and emitter flow rate (FR) on the migration time of wetting front (MTWF), soil infiltration aspect ratio (AR) and accumulative infiltration (AI) under different initial moisture content (IMC) and dry bulk density (DBD). The results showed that RPF prevented the downward movement of water, which led to increased MTWF, AI and AR. However, RPF had no direct effect on the AI and infiltration AR, and the effects that it did have on these factors were indirectly influenced by the MTWF. When the RPF content was greater than 480 kg/hm2 (with a mulching history of 26 years), the infiltration AR was greater than 1.0. Additionally, there was a parabolic relationship between the emitter FR and the MTWF. When the FR was 0.7 L/h, the MTWF reached its minimum value. Overall, this study explored the process of water movement under drip irrigation infiltration of RPF farmland and provided a theoretical basis for the design of drip irrigation systems for RPF farmland.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects of B ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride medication on ureteral calculi.Methods:The clinical data of 130 patients with ureteral calculi who received treatment in Ninghai First Hospital from March 2019 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 65/group) according to the different treatment methods. Patients in the control group received B ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and those in the observation group received B ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride medication. Total response rate, stone-free rate after the first treatment, time taken to get rid of stone, treatment times, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score 14 days after the first treatment were compared between the two groups. Renal function indexes (serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen), mean arterial pressure, VAS score, blood loss, and immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase levels were determined in the two groups. Results:The total response rate in the control group was significantly lower than that in the observation group [89.23% (58/65) vs. 98.46% (64/65), χ2 = 4.80, P < 0.05]. After 14 days of treatment, the VAS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(3.97 ± 0.36) points vs. (5.59 ± 0.87) points, t = 13.87, P < 0.05). After treatment, the stone-free rate after the first treatment in the control group was significantly lower than that in the observation group [61.54% (40/65) vs. 78.46% (51/65), χ2 = 4.43, P < 0.05). The time taken to get rid of stone and treatment times in the control group were (18.98 ± 3.52) days and (2.53 ± 0.50) times, respectively, which were significantly higher than (12.27 ± 2.77) days and (1.64 ± 0.55) times in the observation group ( t = 12.08, 9.66, both P < 0.05). Urine Kim-1 in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(89.46 ± 42.46) mmol/L vs. (72.75 ± 17.65) mmol/L, t = 2.93, P < 0.05]. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels in the observation group were (101.75 ± 24.53) μmol/L and (348.76 ± 29.84) μmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than (139.53 ± 30.56) μmol/L and (397.65 ± 35.64) μmol/L in the control group ( t = 5.82, 8.48, both P < 0.05). After 20-minutes of anesthesia induction, the mean arterial pressure in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(83.45 ± 12.65) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs . (61.68 ± 9.75) mmHg, t = -10.99, P < 0.05]. Intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(112.65 ± 30.74) mL vs. (170.68 ± 35.67) mL, t = 9.94, P < 0.05]. Serum immunoglobulin G and malondialdehyde levels in the observation group were (8.56 ± 1.74) g/L and (7.74 ± 0.74) mol/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than (7.75 ± 1.68) g/L and (5.21 ± 0.65) mol/L in the control group ( t = 2.70, 20.71, both P < 0.05). Serum immunoglobulin M and superoxide dismutase levels in the observation group were (1.23 ± 0.32) g/L and (71.75 ± 8.57) U/L, which were significantly lower than (1.55 ± 0.45) g/L and (90.64 ± 9.73) U/mL in the control group ( t = -4.67, -11.75, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:B ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy combined with tamsulosin hydrochloride medication is more effective on ureteral calculi than B ultrasound-guided extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy alone. The combined therapy can effectively reduce pain, increases the treatment efficacy, and is worthy of reference and promotion in clinical practice.
