Application of Shouwu Yizhi prescription in decubation of patients with ischemic stroke.

We investigate the application of Shouwu Yizhi prescription (SYP) in decubation of patients with ischemic stroke (IS). The clinical data of 106 patients recovering from IS who came to our hospital from December 2019 to December 2020 were selected for retrospective analysis, and they were separated into experimental group ( = 53, basic treatment + SYP) and control group ( = 53, basic treatment) based on the principle of random grouping. The clinical indexes such as lipid indexes and neurological disability score (NDS) after treatment were compared between both groups to comprehensively evaluate the clinical effects of different treatment regimens.

Laboratory investigation of permeability property of natural gravels with different particle sizes under different laying conditions.

The seepage properties of natural gravel are one of the problems to be considered in seepage project designs. In this paper, the seepage properties of the natural gravel with particle sizes of 5, 20 and 60 mm were investigated under different laying conditions. The effect of the particle size, laying depth, bulk density and pressurized head on the seepage properties of the natural gravel was analyzed by using the combined methods of theoretical analysis with physical model test.

The fabrication of LiNbO memristors for electronic synapses using oxygen annealing.

Based on the LiNbO (LN) single crystal thin film prepared using Ar etching, an LN thin film memristor was fabricated by oxygen annealing. Atomic force microscope, scanning electron microscope and electron paramagnetic resonance test results show that the method uniformly reduces the amount of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the material. The current-voltage scanning (I-V scanning), retention and endurance test results show that this method effectively reduces the possibility of breakdown and increases the retention and endurance performance of the device.

Investigation on Wear Behavior of Cryogenically Treated Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy under Dry and Wet Conditions.

Titanium alloys are widely used in many fields because of their excellent comprehensive properties. However, its poor friction and wear properties limit its many potential applications. In general, the surface roughness of important parts manufactured by titanium alloy should meet certain requirements.

[Key Bacteria for the Microbial Degradation of Pollutants in Cellar Water].

The study aimed to identify the key bacteria and the potential interactions among these bacteria during the degradation of pollutants in cellar water, The main pollution characteristics were nitrogen, phosphorus and organic pollution. The structure and function of the bacterial community and its correlation with water quality variables were analyzed. A network of seven associations of microbial co-occurrence was set up, based on 16S rRNA and the model for inferring co-occurrence or interspecific interactions of microbial species.

Huayu Tongmai Granules protects against vascular endothelial dysfunction via up-regulating miR-185 and down-regulating RAGE.

: Receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a membrane protein that contributes to the initiation and progression of diabetic vascular complications, which is reported as a target of miR-185. Huayu Tongmai Granules is a Chinese herbal compound that is capable of treating diabetic angiopathy. The present study was designed to explore the molecular biological mechanism by which Huayu Tongmai Granules protects against diabetic angiopathy.

[Characteristics of CO Flux in a Mature Apple () Orchard Ecosystem on the Loess Plateau].

Apples () in the Loess Plateau region are grown in the largest apple orchards in the world and China, playing an important role in the improvement of the ecological environment. However, there is little research on the scale of the ecological system of the apple orchard in the Loess Plateau region. In this study, the CO flux of a mature apple orchard in the Loess Plateau region was observed using an eddy covariance technique in the Shannxi Province.

[Microbial Community Diversity and Differences in Cellar water of Typical Rainwater Harvesting Area].

In order to explore the natural change mechanisms for cellar water quality for typical rainwater harvesting and drinking water surfaces in China, the MiSeq high-throughput sequencing method was used to study the differences between characteristics of microbial communities and functional diversity regarding collecting and making use of rainwater. This is achieved through constructing combined modes of different types of catchment areas and water-storing cellars. The results of this study show that there is significant differences in microbial community structure and function.

Ginsenoside Rg1 and Acori Graminei Rhizoma Attenuates Neuron Cell Apoptosis by Promoting the Expression of miR-873-5p in Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) severely threatens human health in their old age, however the potential etiology underlying it is still unclear. Both Ginsenoside Rg1 (GRg1) and Acori graminei Rhizoma (AGR) are the traditional Chinese herbal drug, while their potential role in AD remains need further identification. Both SAMP1 and SAMP8 mice were employed as the control and AD mice.

Optimization of cotton variety registration criteria aided with a genotype-by-trait biplot analysis.

China is one of the largest cotton producing countries in the world thanks to high yields, on which a variety registration system has mainly focused, so that a lack of quality is nowadays acknowledged as a weak point of the cotton industry in that country. The objective of this study was to check the hypothesis that bias in cultivar selection in favor of yield has been maintained through the application of an imperfect selection index (SI), but that a better outcome is possible. Our demonstration is based on an analysis of the data from ten years of cotton variety trials using genotype-by-trait biplots, implemented both for the cultivar selection index (SI) currently applied in China and for an adjusted selection index (ASI) that more effectively took into account the antagonism between yield and quality traits.
