Panax Notoginseng Saponins promotes the meningeal lymphatic system-mediated hematoma absorption in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Background: Hematoma clearance is crucial for treating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Currently, there is a lack of pharmacological therapy aimed at promoting hematoma absorption. Meningeal lymphatic system, as a drain of brain, is a potential therapeutic approach in ICH.

[Pollution Characterization and Comprehensive Water Quality Assessment of Rain-source River: A Case Study of the Longgang River in Shenzhen].

Rain-source urban rivers are an important part of the urban ecosystem. Due to the small water environment capacity and the rapid development of the regional economy and society, they are vulnerable to serious pollution. The goal of this study was to identify the main pollution characteristics of river water quality and to carry out a scientific comprehensive water quality assessment.

Blockade of adenosine A receptor alleviates cognitive dysfunction after chronic exposure to intermittent hypoxia in mice.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is widely known for its multiple systems damage, especially neurocognitive deficits in children. Since their discovery, adenosine A receptors (ARs) have been considered as key elements in signaling pathways mediating neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's and Alzheimer's, as well as cognitive function regulation. Herein, we investigated AR role in cognitive impairment induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH).

MFAP2 is a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker That Correlates with the Progression of Papillary Thyroid Cancer.

Background: Microfibril-associated protein 2 () is a protein coding gene that exerts important phenotypic effects on cell motility, and increasing research has indicated that MFAP2 was correlated with many cancers. However, the functional and potential clinical role of in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has not yet been verified.

Materials And Methods: We performed whole transcriptome sequencing on 78 paired PTC tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues and found that was highly expressed in PTC tissues.

Eva-1 homolog A promotes papillary thyroid cancer progression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition via the Hippo signalling pathway.

Recently, the incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing worldwide. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common histological type of thyroid cancer. Whole-transcriptome sequence analysis was performed to further understand the primary molecular mechanisms of the occurrence and progression of PTC.

[Effects of the Veterinary Antibiotic Sulfamethazine on NO Emissions and the Associated Microbiological Mechanism in a Rice Field].

Veterinary antibiotics can enter into croplands with animal excrement and can have effects on nitrification and denitrification processes in the agricultural soils. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of sulfamethazine (SMZ) on NO emissions, nitrification, denitrification, and related functional gene abundances within a paddy field. Five treatments were used in the experiment, namely, no fertilizer and no antibiotics applied (CK), and pig manure used as basal fertilizer plus urea applied as topdressing with the addition of 0, 5, 15, and 30 mg·kg SMZ (SMZ0, SMZ5, SMZ15, and SMZ30, respectively).

[Distribution Characteristics of Urea and Constitution of Dissolved Nitrogen in the Bohai Sea and the Huanghai Sea in Spring].

Based on the investigation of the Huanghai Sea and the Bohai Sea in Spring( April to May) of 2014, the concentrations of urea and inorganic nitrogen were determined respectively by diacetyl monoxime-Semicarbazide Hydrochloride method and Spectrophotometric method. The distribution of urea and the component of dissolved nitrogen were analyzed. The influencing factors of urea were also discussed.

Achieving Energy Conservation in Poisson-Boltzmann Molecular Dynamics: Accuracy and Precision with Finite-Difference Algorithms.

Violation of energy conservation in Poisson-Boltzmann molecular dynamics, due to the limited accuracy and precision of numerical methods, is a major bottleneck preventing its wide adoption in biomolecular simulations. We explored the ideas of enforcing interface conditions by the immerse interface method and of removing charge singularity to improve the finite-difference methods. Our analysis of these ideas on an analytical test system shows significant improvement in both energies and forces.
