[Dynamics and spatial pattern prediction of lakes in the northern Tanggula Mountains, Tibet, China].

This study assessed the dynamics of lakes in the north Tanggula Mountains in Tibet (NT area) and predicted the spatial changes. We used object-oriented classification and a spectral-angle vector change detection method to generate ecosystem distribution data for the NT area at five-year interval between 2000 and 2015. Based on this dataset, we measured the spatial pattern of lake dynamics and related geophysical and meteorological factors.

The effect of pretreatment with calcitonin gene-related peptide on attenuation of liver ischemia and reperfusion injury due to oxygen free radicals and apoptosis.

Background/aims: Hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R) occurs in the settings of transplantation. Trauma and elective liver resections. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis have been shown to play a major role in organ I/R injury.
