The hydropower capacity of China ranks first in the world and accounts for approximately 20% of the total energy production in the country. While hydropower has substantially contributed to meeting China's renewable energy targets and providing clean energy to rural areas, the development of hydropower in China has been met with significant controversy. Ecologically, hydro projects alter the landscape, with potential impacts to the country's aquatic biodiversity.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOsteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive primary bone cancer that usually affects children and young adolescents. Previous studies have demonstrated the implications of a small sub-population of cancer stem cells on treatment failure and tumor recurrence. The present study analyzed the characteristic features of the stem-like cells within the human OS-55 cell line.

Methods: From January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, all postmenopausal women with first-ever hip fracture were recruited to participate in the study. Serum 25[OH] D levels were measured at admission.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between high bilirubin levels and apnea in premature infants weighing more than 1500 g.
- The findings show that a significant percentage of both premature and term infants with apnea had elevated indirect bilirubin levels, particularly in those under 1500 g and showing apnea symptoms.
- The research concludes that high bilirubin levels may contribute to apnea in these infants and that treatments aimed at reducing bilirubin can help improve apnea symptoms.
Objective: To investigate the effect of Danhong injection on the cardiovascular, the respiratory, and the nervous systems in animals.
Methods: Using the pressure transducer, tension transducer and subcutaneous electrodes connected to a multifunctional signal processor, the femoral artery pressure, respiratory curve and electrocardiogram were recorded, respectively, in dogs before and after administration of Danhong injection. The effect of the injection on spontaneous activities was observed in mice using a multifunctional mouse activity recorder.
Objective: To observe the cytotoxic effects in vitro and antitumor effects in vivo of total alkaloid of Macleaya cordata.
Methods: MTT assay was used to assess the proliferation of Hep3B and H22 cells in vitro treated with the alkloid, and the inhibitory effects of the alkaloid on H22 and S180 tumors were observed in mice with subcutaneous inoculation of the tumor cells.
Results: The total alkaloid significantly inhibited the proliferation of human Hep3B cells and murine H22 cells in a dose-dependent in vitro.
