Harnessing the runoff reduction potential of urban bioswales as an adaptation response to climate change.

Nature-based solutions (NbS), including China's Sponge City Program (SCP), can address the challenges urban communities face due to surface runoff and flooding. The current capacity of SCP facilities in urban environments falls short of meeting the demands placed on communities by climate change. Bioswales are a form of SCP facility that plays an important role in reducing surface runoff by promoting infiltration.

Prognostic role of urinary ketone body in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy without hepatic failure: a retrospective cohort study.

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is defined as a dysfunction of the central nervous system experienced during sepsis with variable clinical features. The study aims to identify the prognostic role of urinary ketone bodies in relation to clinical outcomes in patients with SAE. The Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database was used to conduct a retrospective cohort study.

A lack of focus on data sharing, stakeholders, and economic benefits in current global green infrastructure planning.

Green infrastructure (GI) is increasingly popular in solving urban environmental challenges and enhancing ecosystem services. Yet the research status and challenges of GI planning have not been comprehensively benchmarked to date. We explored the GI types, actions, goals, and spatiotemporal characteristics of GI planning cases worldwide based on the available literature.

A Proposal to Modify the 8th IASLC System: Is it Suitable for T4N2M0 Lung Adenocarcinoma to Be Placed in Stage IIIB?

Purpose: The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) of TNM staging system has been well accepted as a precise model. However, the latest American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system to solve the different survival and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma in the same period is still controversial. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly explore the applicability between the new system and survival prediction in terms of lung adenocarcinoma.

Statistical approach reveals tidal effect on the antibiotics and environmental relationship with the case study of Yongjiang Estuary, China.

We used statistical approach by coupling redundancy analysis with linear regression analysis, which is useful to understand potential sources of antibiotics in the tide rising and ebbing of surface water in the Yongjiang Estuary, China. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between 29 antibiotics at five sites over four seasons and 13 environmental parameters during the tide rising and ebbing durations. The results found that dissolved organic carbon (DOC), salinity, temperature and chlorophyll a (Chla) were the main factors to impact antibiotics.

Urban green infrastructure features influence the type and chemical composition of soil dissolved organic matter.

In urban areas, green infrastructure (GI) has been widely developed utilizing different types of engineered soil to enhance ecosystem functions to interact with soil dissolved organic matter (DOM). However, there remains a lack of urban studies that have examined the link between GI features and soil DOM. This study, which was conducted in a typical heavily industrialized and urbanized area (Ningbo City, East China), aimed to characterize the chemical variation and composition of DOM in the engineered soil of four GI types (enhanced tree tips, ETP; street-side infiltration swales, SSIS; vegetated swales, VS; urban forests, UF).

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of as the medicinal plant from China.

is a member of the family Taxaceae, which is a unique and endangered species in China and is widely used for ornamental, material and medicinal purposes. The complete chloroplast genome of was found to possess a total size of 128,168 bp. The GC content of chloroplast genome sequence is 37.

Phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast genome for (Magnoliaceae), an endemic species to China.

is commonly called lily magnolia and its buds are used as the herbal medicine; it is an endemic species to China. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of has been presented and annotated. The whole chloroplast (cp) genome is 158,177 bp in size, which exhibits a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,134 bp, a small single-copy region (SSC) of 19,876 bp and two inverted-repeat regions (IRs) 25,706 bp in each one.
