Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the prediction skill of Antarctic sea ice edge forecasts using a metric called spatial probability score (SPS) from the Copernicus Climate Change Service and Subseasonal to Seasonal projects.
  • It found that sea ice predictions can remain accurate for up to 38 days, with better predictions in the West Antarctic than the East, and noted that seasonal prediction skill varies based on the specific dynamical system used.
  • Key factors affecting prediction skill include the model initialization and physics, and creating a multi-model forecast showed improved accuracy compared to using individual models.

Objective: To investigate the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) and collagen I (COL-I )in rat model of peritoneal dialysis, which may relate to the prevention peritoneal fibrosis.

Methods: Peritoneal dialysis model was established in rats, and then the rats were given ATRA 2 mg/kg (small dose group) or 5 mg/kg (large dose group) by the way of intraperitoneal injection once a day. All the rats were sacrificed on day 28.
