[Trade-off and Synergy of Ecosystem Services in the Yellow River Basin and Their Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity].

Exploring the trade-off and synergy between ecosystem services and their intrinsic impact mechanisms is crucial for improving the overall efficiency of ecosystems and ensuring the sustainable supply of ecosystem services. This study takes the 499 counties in the Yellow River Basin as the research object, uses the Pearson correlation coefficient method to measure the trade-off and synergy among counties, and constructs a geographically weighted logistic regression（GWLR） model to examine the spatiotemporal heterogeneity between balancing synergy and various influencing factors. The results showed that： ① From 2001 to 2021, the ecosystem service value of the Yellow River Basin first increased, then decreased, and finally increased, showing a spatial distribution pattern of "lower in the downstream, higher in the upper and middle reaches.

A foundation model with weak experiential guidance in detecting muscle invasive bladder cancer on MRI.

Preoperative detection of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains a great challenge in practice. We aimed to develop and validate a deep Vesical Imaging Network (ViNet) model for the detection of MIBC using high-resolution Tweighted MR imaging (hrTWI) in a multicenter cohort. ViNet was designed using a modified 3D ResNet, in which, the encoder layers were pretrained using a self-supervised foundation model on over 40,000 cross-modal imaging datasets for transfer learning, and the classification modules were weakly supervised by an experiential knowledge-domain mask indicated by a nnUNet segmentation model.

Shading increases the susceptibility of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) to Pst. DC3000 by inhibiting the expression of MsIFS1.

Shade is a stressful factor for most plants, leading to both morphological and physiological changes, and often resulting in increased susceptibility to diseases and pathogen attacks. Our study revealed that the isoflavonoid synthesis pathway was inhibited in alfalfa under shade, resulting in a significant reduction in disease resistance. Overexpression of MsIFS1, a switch regulator in isoflavonoid synthesis, led to a notable increase in endogenous isoflavonoids and enhanced resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv.

Identification of a novel prognostic model for gastric cancer utilizing glutamine-related genes.

Background: Glutamine metabolism presents a promising avenue for cancer prevention and treatment, but the underlying mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) progression remain elusive.

Methods: The TCGA-STAD and GEO GSE62254 datasets, containing gene expression, clinical information, and survival outcomes of GC, were meticulously examined. Differential expression analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were employed to excavate a key module (MEturquoise), which was used to intersect with glutamine metabolism-related genes (GMRGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to identify differentially expressed GMRGs (DE-GMRGs).

ABA inhibits in vitro shoot regeneration by affecting H3K9ac modification of WUS in Arabidopsis.

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is an important regulator of plant growth, but its potential participation in the process of in vitro shoot regeneration has not to date been reported. Here, we found that ABA appeared to inhibit in vitro shoot regeneration. ABA represses the formation of stem cell niches, thereby reducing the shoot regeneration by localizing the expression of WUSCHEL (WUS).

STAC3 as a poor prognostic biomarker in renal clear cell carcinoma: relationship with immune infiltration.

Calcium ions (Ca) are crucial in tumorigenesis and progression, with their elevated levels indicating a negative prognosis in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC).

Adsorption properties of Pb(II) and Cd(II) in acid mine drainage by oyster shell loaded lignite composite in different morphologies.

A new idea to alleviate environmental pollution is the development of low-cost adsorbents using natural minerals and fishery wastes to treat high concentrations of heavy metal pollutants in acid mine drainage (AMD). Adsorbent morphology, adsorptive and regenerative capacity, and application potential are limiting factors for their large-scale use. Oyster shells capable of releasing alkalinity were loaded on the surface of lignite to develop two composite adsorbents with different morphologies (powdery and globular) for the treatment of AMD containing Pb(II) and Cd(II).

The external spatiotemporal evolution and intrinsic impact mechanisms of ecosystem service value are of great significance for understanding regional ecosystem issues and enhancing human ecological well-being. Based on grid data, this study used the equivalent factor method and NDVI to measure the ecosystem service value of the Yellow River Basin, analyzed the spatial-temporal evolution of urban ecosystem service value along the basin, and established a GWR model to explore the spatial heterogeneity of each influencing factor on the basis of determining the main influencing factors via geographic detector. The results showed that:① The ecosystem service value of the Yellow River Basin increased first, then decreased, and finally increased from 2000 to 2020, showing a spatial distribution pattern of "the south was higher than the north;" "the lower reaches were lower, and the upper and middle reaches were higher;" and the regulation service contributed the most to the ecosystem service value of the basin.

Indoxyl sulphate-TNFα axis mediates uremic encephalopathy in rodent acute kidney injury.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often accompanied by uremic encephalopathy resulting from accumulation of uremic toxins in brain possibly due to impaired blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. Anionic uremic toxins are substrates or inhibitors of organic anionic transporters (OATs). In this study we investigated the CNS behaviors and expression/function of BBB OAT3 in AKI rats and mice, which received intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 8 and 20 mg/kg, respectively.
