Effects of environmental regulation on the upgrading of Chinese manufacturing industry.

In recent years, China has constantly strengthened environmental regulation (ER) to force the manufacturing industry to upgrade. This study theoretically analyzes interaction mechanism of ER on the upgrading of manufacturing industry through foreign direct investment (FDI) and technological innovation (TI) and carries out empirical verification by using provincial panel data from 2000 to 2016 in China. The results demonstrate that the current ER intensity in China is unable to directly promote the upgrading of manufacturing industry, while through the interaction effects of FDI and TI do boost the upgrading of the industry.

[Study on mechanisms of mitochondria in lymphocyte apoptosis of sepsis].

Objective: To investigate cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome C and mechanisms of mitochondria in lymphocyte apoptosis of sepsis.

Methods: In the research, female C57BL/6 mice whose body weight ranged from 17 to 25 grams were utilized and assigned randomly to two groups: sham operated group (Control), cecal ligation and puncture group (CLP). The present study was undertaken by using the mice splenic lymphocyte to investigate cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome C.

[Study of the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress mediated apoptosis signal pathway in sepsis-induced splenic lymphocyte apoptosis].

Objective: To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis signal pathway in extensive apoptosis of splenic lymphocytes in sepsis.

Methods: Twenty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomized into the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group and sham operation group, with 12 mice in each group. Twenty-four hours after CLP, the animals were sacrificed, and spleens were harvested for evaluation.
