Murine adenosine deaminase (mADA) is a prototypic system for studying the thermal activation of active site chemistry within the TIM barrel family of enzyme reactions. Previous temperature-dependent hydrogen deuterium exchange studies under various conditions have identified interconnected thermal networks for heat transfer from opposing protein-solvent interfaces to active site residues in mADA. One of these interfaces contains a solvent exposed helix-loop-helix moiety that presents the hydrophobic face of its long α-helix to the backside of bound substrate.

Background: Frailty is a state of cumulative degeneration of bodily functions that is consistently associated with poor outcomes in older people following illness. Combined stroke intervention and frailty may yield additive and synergistic effects adults with stroke.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy (EVT) in frail patients.

Background: There is increasing evidence on the prognostic significance of D-dimer and fibrinolysis in stroke. However, the systematic analysis of their relationship with adverse outcomes after stroke is lacking. Herein, we comprehensively assessed the correlation of D-dimer and fibrinolysis with stroke outcomes through meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews the link between five toxic metals (arsenic, mercury, copper, cadmium, and lead) and the risk of stroke, highlighting the unclear relationship despite known dangers of these metals.
  • Researchers systematically searched databases and analyzed 38 studies with over 642,000 participants to assess stroke risk related to chronic exposure to these metals.
  • Findings show a significant association between higher levels of lead, cadmium, and copper and increased stroke risk, suggesting a potential dose-dependent relationship with metal exposure.

Sediment resuspension has been recognized as a crucial internal process in aquatic ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of reliable measuring methods due to the complex hydrodynamic conditions in large shallow eutrophic lakes. In this study, sequential sediment traps (SST) and instantaneous multiple point (IMP) methods were compared at 6 sites located in the littoral zone of Zhushan Bay in Lake Taihu.

To reveal the spatiotemporal characteristics of nutrients in the deposition process of suspended solids in lakeside zone, deposition tests were performed in the western lakeside of Taihu Lake,and the contents of TP,TN,NH-N and NO-N were measured and analyzed.The results showed that the deposition fluxes in the western lakeside of Taihu Lake ranked as follows:artificial reed areas >non-vegetation nearshore areas >natural reed areas >non-vegetation offshore areas,with their average values of (1383.40±925.
