Who takes the lead: Synergistic emission reduction effects of proactive government and efficient market in atmospheric pollution mitigation.

In environmental protection, government and market forces must work together. However, existing literature often separates the two and discusses their roles independently. Therefore, this study incorporates both the market and government into a unified analytical framework.

Habitat quality evaluation and pattern simulation of coastal salt marsh wetlands.

Coastal salt marsh wetlands not only sequester a large amount of organic carbon, mitigating the effect of climate change, but also nurture rich wetland resources and diverse ecological environments. In this study, habitat pattern and quality of the Jiangsu Yancheng Wetland Rare Birds National Nature Reserve were studied. The evolution of habitat patterns was analyzed using the U-Net model and Sentinel-2 data.

Short-term culture for rapid identification by mass spectrometry and automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing from positive bottles.

Background: Early and appropriate antibiotic treatment improves the clinical outcome of patients with sepsis. There is an urgent need for rapid identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of bacteria that cause bloodstream infection (BSI). Rapid ID and AST can be achieved by short-term incubation on solid medium of positive blood cultures using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) and the BD M50 system.

Gardnerella Vaginalis Bacteremia in a Pregnant Woman with Vaginal Myomectomy.

Background: This case involves a 28-year-old pregnant woman (39w+2) who was admitted to obstetrics due to abdominal tightness and bacteremia with Gardnerella vaginalis which developed after caesarean section and vaginal myomectomy.

Methods: A blood culture was performed, and the bacteria were identified through mass spectrometry.

Results: Mass spectrometry data indicated that the infection bacteria were Gardnerella vaginalis.

Spatio-temporal pattern assessment of China's environmental performance and its spatial drivers: evidence from city-level data over 2003-2019.

A comprehensive assessment of China's environmental performance (EP) and an investigation into its driving factors are essential prerequisites for advancing environmental protection efforts. However, existing studies have often exhibited a one-sided EP evaluation approach and lacked a systematic perspective. Consequently, this study has adopted a holistic approach by integrating environmental protection and pollution within the same theoretical framework.

Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Within the Nucleus Ambiguus Inhibits Gastrointestinal Motility in Rats.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a neuromodulator in the central nervous system. However, the physiological role of HS in the nucleus ambiguus (NA) has rarely been reported. This research aimed to elucidate the role of HS in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility in rats.

Rapid Analysis of Components in Franch by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry.

Background: Franch is a traditional Chinese medical herb.

Objective: In this article, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to rapidly, qualitatively, and comprehensively identify the components in Franch.

Materials And Methods: Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Agilent Zorbax RRHD Eclipse Plus C column.

Analysis of Potential Amino Acid Biomarkers in Brain Tissue and the Effect of Galangin on Cerebral Ischemia.

Galangin, a potent scavenger of free radicals, has been used as an herbal medicine for various ailments for centuries in Asia. With complex pathophysiology, ischemic stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and disability worldwide. We have reported that galangin provides direct protection against ischemic injury as a potential neuroprotective agent and has potential therapeutic effects on the changes of serum amino acids in ischemic stroke; however, the mechanism of the changes of amino acids in the ischemic brain tissue has not yet been clarified.
