[Identification of ecological functional zoning and its influencing factors in the Sihu Lake Basin, China].

Rational delineation of ecological functional areas and clarification of their driving factors are of significance for maintaining regional ecosystem stability. We assessed six ecosystem services of Sihu Lake Basin located in Jianghan Plain using InVEST and RUSLE models and recreational scoring methods. By using K-means clustering, we identified the ecosystem service bundles, and delineated the ecological functional areas in combination with ecological sensitivity and ecosystem service bundles.

Ruxolitinib attenuates secondary injury after traumatic spinal cord injury.

Excessive inflammation post-traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) induces microglial activation, which leads to prolonged neurological dysfunction. However, the mechanism underlying microglial activation-induced neuroinflammation remains poorly understood. Ruxolitinib (RUX), a selective inhibitor of JAK1/2, was recently reported to inhibit inflammatory storms caused by SARS-CoV-2 in the lung.

Quantitative Estimation of the Hydrogen-Atom-Donating Ability of 4-Substituted Hantzsch Ester Radical Cations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate thermodynamic and kinetic properties on the hydrogen-atom-donating ability of 4-substituted Hantzsch ester radical cations (XRH), which are excellent NADH coenzyme models. Gibbs free energy changes and activation free energies of 17 XRH releasing H [denoted as Δ (XRH) and Δ (XRH)] were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and compared with that of Hantzsch ester (HEH) and NADH. Δ (XRH) range from 19.

[Treatment and prevention of cerebrospinal fluid leakage after craniofacial surgery for tumors involving the skull base].

Purpose: To evaluate the treatment and prevention of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage following removal of the skull base tumors with craniofacial approach.

Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken to analyze the clinical data of 14 cases suffering from CSF leakage after craniofacial surgery for tumors involving the cranial base.

Results: Ten (71.
