The evolution of China's industrial structure from 2010 to 2021 is assessed based on the rationalization and sophistication of its industries. The Theil index quantifies spatial variability, while the Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP) investigates if changes in industrial structure imbalance will increase wealth disparity. The study's findings indicate a noticeable spatial imbalance in industrial structure change.

A total of 182 patients who underwent OPCABG were included and classified into 3 groups based on their preoperative diagnosis: the NSTEAMI group (n = 68), the UA group (n = 64), and the SA group (n = 50). Cardiac ultrasonography data were collected for all groups both preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively.

In this article, based on the data of 278 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2020, the SBM directional distance function and Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) index are used to gauge regional green total factor productivity (GTFP). The spatial Durbin model is also introduced to investigate the spatial spillover mechanism of GTFP and its influencing factors under the optimized and upgraded industrial structure.

With the logistics industry becoming an important part of economic development, logistics activities have given rise to various environmental problems, which that affect the sustainable development of the ecological environment. In order to understand the status of regional sustainable development, it is of great significance to study the level of coordinated development of regional logistics and the ecological environment, and determine which variables will affect their coordinated development. To accomplish this objective, the entropy method is used to give the corresponding weight to each index and calculate the coupling degree and coordination degree of regional logistics and the ecological environment; next, the coupling coordination level of regional logistics and ecological environment in different provinces from 2010 to 2019 is measured by the coupling coordination degree model; then, we study the spatial effect of the influencing factors on the coordinated development level of regional logistics and ecological environment in 30 provinces of China from 2010 to 2019.

Methods: Forty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups, normal group, lumbar disc herniation (LDH) group, HMM group, and antagonist (HMM+Met12) group, with 10 rats in each group. The rat model of LDH was prepared with the method of lumbar epidural emplacement of the caudal intervertebral disc.
Knee osteoarthritis is a common chronic degenerative joint disease in middle-aged and elderly people. Intra-articular injection for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis is a regularly utilized nonsurgical treatment in modern medicine. Hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are two frequently employed intra-articular devices.

Methods: Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control, model and treatment groups, with 10 rabbits in each group. The KOA model was established by using Hulth method.
Objective: Intestinal mucosal barrier damage is an important mechanism for the development of sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. At present, there are no satisfactory and effective methods for the protection of the intestinal mucosal barrier. Jinzhi, the first fecal microbiota transplantation worldwide, is often used to treat critically ill patients; however, the specific mechanism involved in this process remains unclear.
