The non-linearity and non-stationarity of runoff series pose significant challenges to runoff forecasting, and conventional single forecasting models struggle to accurately capture the internal dynamics of the series. To address this issue, we propose a runoff prediction model named AFDM-MTCN, which combines the adaptive Fourier decomposition method (AFDM) and multiscale temporal convolutional network (MTCN). AFDM-MTCN consists of two stages: adaptive decomposition and multi-scale feature extraction.

Background: FD (functional dyspepsia) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder, which lacks effective and safe treatment. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) has been applied in FD treatment for thousands of years with satisfactory clinical outcomes. Zhishi is a classical traditional Chinese medicine used to treat FD.

The purpose of this study was to compare the pharmacodynamic properties and bioequivalence of the two formulations of DS with subcutaneous injection in healthy Chinese male subjects.

This research aims to further explore whether the cardiovascular protective effects of Cur are mediated by the miR-590-3p/CD40 pathway. Endothelial cells (ECs) were cultivated with 10 mol/L angiotensin II (Ang II) to establish a damage model.

We also investigated the difference of Cx37 expression in septic patients and healthy controls. A case-control study was performed in 215 septic patients and in 260 healthy controls.

This study aimed to explore the association of a functional polymorphism rs1050283 in the 3'-untranslated region of the LOX-1 gene with atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI) susceptibility, and we also investigated the effects of the rs1050283 polymorphism on LOX-1 expression and serum levels of sLOX-1 in patients with ACI.
Methods: A case-controlled study was performed in 526 patients with ACI and 640 healthy controls.
Background: Aspirin (ASA) is the most widely used medicine to prevent cardiovascular diseases; however, the mechanisms by which ASA exerts its anti-proliferative effect remain not fully understood. This study was designed to investigate whether miR-145 is involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells' (VSMCs) proliferation and to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of ASA via its regulation of CD40 to provide a new theoretical basis for the pharmacological effect of aspirin.
Methods: The TNF-α induced proliferation model of VSMCs was divided into different groups with or without aspirin.
The aim of the present study was to determine the ferulic acid (FA) content of Radix Angelicae Sinensis (AS), Danggui-Buxue-Tang (DBT) and Danggui-Sini-Tang (DST) using the same ultra performance liquid chromatography system and method. FA was eluted using an Acquity BEH C18 column (100×2.1 mm inner diameter; 1.
