Background: To figure out the effect of andrographolide sulfonate on the clinical efficacy and immune function of children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).
Methods: From January 2019 to April 2021, a total of 102 children with MPP were selected as the research group. They were assigned into the control and the observation groups by random number table method, with 51 cases/group.
Aim: We aimed to explore the value of peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods: A total of 248 eligible patients were followed up for five years, and divided into major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) and non-MACE groups. The independent predictive factors for MACE were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Less attention has been paid to the parasitoid-host system in which the host occurs in considerably high density with a hierarchical patch structure in studies on time allocation strategies of parasitoids. This study used the parasitoid Meteorus pulchricornis (Wesmael) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and the Oriental leafworm, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) as the parasitoids-host model system to investigate patch-leaving mechanisms as affected by the high-host density, hierarchical patch structure, and foraging behaviors on both former and current patches. The results showed that three out of eight covariates tested had significant effects on the patch-leaving tendency, including the host density, ovipositor insertion, and host rejection on the current patch.
