Predictive value of systemic immune-inflammatory biomarkers for drug-induced liver injury in hepatitis B virus surface antigen positive tuberculosis patients: A retrospective observational study.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a major concern in tuberculosis (TB) treatment. For early detection of DILI, immune-inflammatory biomarkers are needed for better management. To explore the predictive effect of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) combined with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), eosinophil (EOS%), and CD4/CD8 on DILI occurrence in TB patients with HBsAg positive.

Effect of Ciprofloxacin on the Composition of Intestinal Microbiota in (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

The intestinal bacteria of insects are crucial to the growth and development of the host. It has been found that various physiological processes of insects, such as immune response, metabolism, reproductive ability, and growth and development, involve the gastrointestinal flora. However, many external factors affect the composition of insects' intestinal microorganisms, such as the type of dietary substrate.

Interpretation of the coupling mechanism of ecological security and urbanization based on a Computation-Verification-Coupling framework: Quantitative analysis of sustainable development.

In recent decades, China's rapid urbanization has produced numerous economic benefits while simultaneously creating substantial risks to ecological security. China's 14th Five-Year Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have recently explicitly called for the coordinated development of ecological security and urbanization. Given this context, it is important to explore the mechanism by which ecological security and urbanization are coupled and coordinated to promote sustainable development.

Development and Determinants of Topsoil Bacterial and Fungal Communities of Afforestation by Aerial Sowing in Tengger Desert, China.

It was previously reported that afforestation in the desert can help improve soil texture, carbon accumulation, and nutrient status. However, the effects of afforestation on soil microbial composition, diversity, and microbial interactions with soil physicochemical properties have been rarely evaluated quantitatively. Using the method of space-for-time substitutions, we assessed the development and determinants of topsoil bacterial and fungal communities over nearly 40 years of successive afforestation by aerial sowing in Tengger Desert, China.

The evolution process of ecological vulnerability and its quantitative analysis of influencing factors: a case study of Longdong area.

Ecological vulnerability is the main index to evaluate areal environmental stability and monitor the development of ecological environment. Longdong area is a typical Loess Plateau area with complex terrain, serious soil erosion, mineral resource development, and other human activities leading to the ecological vulnerability evolution of the area, but the monitoring of its ecological status and the determination of its factors are still lacking. Based on the ecological characteristics of Longdong area, this study constructed an ecological vulnerability system including natural, social, and economic data and used the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to study the temporal and spatial evolution of ecological vulnerability from 2006 to 2018.

A spatial distribution - Principal component analysis (SD-PCA) model to assess pollution of heavy metals in soil.

With the rapid development of urbanization, heavy metal pollution of soil has received great attention. Over-enrichment of heavy metals in soil may endanger human health. Assessing soil pollution and identifying potential sources of heavy metals are crucial for prevention and control of soil heavy metal pollution.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

Chen, 1975 (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) plays a significant role in epidemiology and medicine. In this study, we first report the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of . This mitogenome was 15,534 bp in length (GenBank No.

Enhanced 2,4,6-trichlorophenol anaerobic degradation by FeO supported on water hyacinth biochar for triggering direct interspecies electron transfer and its use in coal gasification wastewater treatment.

FeO supported on water hyacinth biochar (FeO/WHB) was successfully used in anaerobic degradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol and coal gasification wastewater (CGW). Chemical oxygen demand removal efficiency and methane production were significantly improved to 98.9% and 2.

Dynamic compensation based adaptive control of thermo-acoustic instabilities in Rijke tube: an experimental validation.

This paper describes experimental investigations of an adaptive control for suppressing thermo-acoustic instabilities in Rijke tube. Strong coupling between pressure oscillations and unsteady heat release excites a self-sustained acoustic wave which results in a loud, annoyed sound and may also lead to a structural damage to the combustion chamber. Adaptive controller based on dynamic compensation is adopted to suppress the instabilities in Rijke tube.
