Evolution and driving factors of inequality in CO emissions from agricultural energy consumption in China.

The inequality in CO emissions from agricultural energy consumption is a major challenge for coordinating low-carbon agricultural development across regions in China. However, the evolutionary characteristics and driving factors of inequality in China's agricultural energy-related CO emissions are poorly understood. In response, the Kaya-Theil model was adopted to examine the three potential factors influencing CO emission inequality in China's agricultural energy consumption.

GRN knockdown regulates the expression and alternative splicing of genes associated with aphasia-related diseases in PC12 cells.

Background: Prior research has shown that granulin precursor (GRN, also termed PGRN) is closely linked to aphasia. However, there has been little research on the mechanism of action of GRN in post-stroke aphasia (PSA).

Methods: In this study, RT-qPCR was used to identify variations in gene expression, while RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was utilized to acquire transcriptional profiles.

Clinical features of different stage subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord.

Subacute combined degeneration (SCD), caused by vitamin B12 disorders, leads to severe degeneration of the spinal cord. Thus, it is significant to make timely diagnosis and treatment options of SCD. The objectives were to summarize clinical features of different sate SCD.

Assessing the Public Health Economic Loss from PM Pollution in '2 + 26' Cities.

Due to the fast growth of China's economy, urban atmospheric pollution has become a serious problem affecting the public's physical and mental health. The '2 + 26' cities, as the Jing-Jin-Ji atmospheric pollution transmission channel, has attracted widespread concern. There were several previous studies on the economic loss of public health caused by PM pollution in '2 + 26' cities.

Decoupling analysis of the industrial growth and environmental pollution in the Circum-Bohai-Sea region in China.

Based on a comprehensive consideration of waste water (WW) and waste gas (WG), the Tapio decoupling model is constructed to explore the decoupling relationship between industrial growth and industrial pollution in the Circum-Bohai-Sea region (CBSR) of China from 2003 to 2016. By dividing 37 sample cities into three sub-regions, we conduct a comparative analysis to describe the spatial-temporal evolution of the decoupling states of industrial growth and environmental pollution. The results show the following: (1) Overall, the industrial WW discharge in 37 key cities has been decoupled from industrial growth, and the industrial development mode is relatively ideal.

Research of cerebral activation in Uygur-speaking and Chinese-speaking participants during verb generation task with functional magnetic resonance imaging.

The aims are to investigate and compare the activated cerebral regions of Uygur-speaking and Chinese-speaking participants during verb generation task.A total of 31 cases of Uygur and 28 cases of Han healthy volunteers were enrolled. They were requested to take verb generation tasks.

Comparison of functional magnetic resonance imaging in cerebral activation between normal Uygur and Mandarin participants in semantic identification task.

Purpose: This study utilized blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) technology to study the activated cerebral regions in normal participants whose native language was Uyghur or Chinese.

Methods: We collected the fMRI data from 15 Uyghur-speaking volunteers and 15 Mandarin-speaking volunteers when executing the semantic identification task and compared the results of two groups.

Results: Statistically significant difference of brain activation was found primarily in the left anterior cingulate gyrus (BA23) and the midline precuneus (P<0.
