[Analysis of the Synergistic Effects of Energy Consumption Permit Trading Scheme on Pollution Reduction and Carbon Abatement].

Under the "dual-carbon" strategic goals, it is urgent to examine whether the energy consumption permit trading scheme （ECPTS）, as an innovative system in China's market-oriented reform of the energy sector, can promote the synergistic enhancement of pollution reduction and carbon abatement. Based on provincial panel data of China from 2008 to 2019, this study adopted a difference-in-differences model to examine the impacts of the ECPTS on the synergistic enhancement of pollution reduction and carbon abatement. The results demonstrated that the ECPTS improved the level of pollution reduction and carbon abatement in pilot areas.

Melatonin Attenuates Calcium Deposition from Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells by Activating Mitochondrial Fusion and Mitophagy via an AMPK/OPA1 Signaling Pathway.

Mitochondrial fusion/mitophagy plays a role in cardiovascular calcification. Melatonin has been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease. This study sought to explore whether melatonin attenuates vascular calcification by regulating mitochondrial fusion/mitophagy via the AMP-activated protein kinase/optic atrophy 1 (AMPK/OPA1) signaling pathway.

Melatonin attenuates vascular calcification by inhibiting mitochondria fission via an AMPK/Drp1 signalling pathway.

Mitochondrial fission plays a role in cardiovascular calcification. Melatonin has previously been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease, so this study sought to explore whether it attenuates vascular calcification by regulating mitochondrial fission via the AMP-activated protein kinase/dynamin-related protein 1 (AMPK/Drp1) signalling pathway. The effects of melatonin on vascular calcification were investigated in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

[In vivo transdermal penetration enhancing activity of essential oil from Zanthoxyli Pericarpium by using microdialysis technique].

The aim of this paper is to investigate the topical pharmacodynamics behavior of different lipophilic model drugs after treatment with essential oil from Zanthoxyli Pericarpium by using the cutaneous microdialysis technique, and then evaluate its in vivo transdermal penetration enhancing properties. Two traditional Chinese medicine active components, namely tetramethylpyrazine and puerarin, were chosen as lipophilic and hydrophilic model drugs, respectively. Firstly, the concentration difference method was employed to measure the in vitro recovery rate and loss of the microdialysis probe, and the in vivo recoveries of two model drugs were determined by using the retrodialysis method.
