Prediction of rain garden runoff control effects based on multiple machine learning techniques.

Due to the rapid development of urbanisation, cities frequently experience waterlogging during rainfall. Rain gardens are widely used in new urban construction because they effectively control surface runoff from rainwater, thereby reducing waterlogging. The runoff control effectiveness of rain gardens is influenced by multiple factors.

Synthesis of naphthalene derivatives via nitrogen-to-carbon transmutation of isoquinolines.

Heteroarene skeletal editing is gaining popularity in synthetic chemistry. Transmuting single atoms generates molecules that have distinctly varied properties, thereby fostering potent molecular exchanges that can be extensively used to synthesize functional molecules. Herein, we present a convenient protocol for nitrogen-carbon single-atom transmutations in isoquinolines, which is inspired by the Wittig reaction and enables easy access to substituted naphthalene derivatives.

Intestinal neutrophil extracellular traps promote gut barrier damage exacerbating endotoxaemia, systemic inflammation and progression of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes.

Aims/hypothesis: Within the small intestine, neutrophils play an integral role in preventing bacterial infection. Upon interaction with bacteria or bacteria-derived antigens, neutrophils initiate a multi-staged response of which the terminal stage is NETosis, formation of protease-decorated nuclear DNA into extracellular traps. NETosis has a great propensity to elicit ocular damage and has been associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema (DME) progression.

Minimally Invasive Puncture and Drainage Surgery for the Treatment of Thalamic Hemorrhage Guided by a 3D-printed Guide Plate.

Thalamic hemorrhage is a type of intracerebral hemorrhage with high disability and mortality rates. Because of its deep bleeding location, irregular shape of the hematoma, and compression of the third ventricle, it is not suitable for craniotomy. This paper reports a case of a 63-year-old male patient who sought medical attention for left-sided basal ganglia and thalamus hemorrhage that broke into the ventricles.
