Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effects of natural processes and human activities on nitrate concentrations in the Yihe and Luohe Rivers, revealing varying nitrate sources due to different land use types.
- Results showed that nitrate levels in Yihe and Luohe Rivers were influenced primarily by sewage and manure, particularly in the upper reaches, while soil organic nitrogen and chemical fertilizers played a larger role downstream.
- Findings confirmed the significant impact of point sources (sewage and manure) on riverine nitrate, while nonpoint sources (like chemical fertilizers) did not increase significantly with agricultural expansion.
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of retention enema with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for ulcerative colitis (UC) through a meta-analysis of published studies.
Methods: Literatures were retrieved from five electronic databases. Quality evaluation and meta-analysis were respectively conducted using the Cochrane collaboration and RevMan5.
Background: Drought is one of the most adverse environmental factors limiting crop productions and it is important to identify key genetic determinants for food safety. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) are known to be involved in plant growth, development, and environmental stresses. However, biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of many plant CPKs have not been explored.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFMyosin heavy chain 11 (MYH11), encoded by the gene, is a protein that participates in muscle contraction through the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate. Although previous studies have demonstrated that gene expression levels are downregulated in several types of cancer, its expression levels have rarely been investigated in lung cancer. The present study aimed to explore the clinical significance and prognostic value of expression levels in lung cancer and to further study the underlying molecular mechanisms of the function of this gene.

Methods: This prospective clinical study recruited 112 ICH patients and 112 healthy individuals.

Objective: To establish a monitoring database of historical environments at grass-root level for schistosomiasis prevention based on Google Earth (GE), so as to improve the management efficiency of historical environments.
Methods: GE was labeled with the information about the historical environments through adding landmark, path and polygon. Meanwhile, POCO web album was used to storage the practice situation pictures of the environments, which could be imported into GE so that the environments could be monitored dynamically.
Objective: To investigate factors related to hemorrhagic transformation and favorable outcomes in wake-up ischemic stroke (WUIS) patients undergoing intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
Methods: Clinical data of 600 patients undergoing multimodal image-guided intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy in Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine center from May 2009 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Among 600 patients, 68 were diagnosed as WUIS including 17 cases aged 80 or older.
Objective: To assess brush sign (BS) on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in prediction of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis(IVT).
Methods: Patients with acute cerebral ischemic stroke, who had major cerebral artery occlusion (internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery M1 and M2), treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) from August 2009 to October 2014 in the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent SWI scanning.
