Aim: To compare clinical, cost-effect efficacies and safety of simvastatin Zokor and generic Vasilip in correction of dislipoproteinemia in patients with ischemic heart disease.

Material And Methods: The original statin Zokor and generic statin Vasilip were given for 8 weeks in a dose 20 mg/day.

Results: Vasilip and Zokor demonstrated similar hypolipidemic efficacy and safety, but Vasilip administration was more cost-effective.

Conclusion: Simvastatin Vasilip is recommended for wider use in clinical practice because it is clinically and cost effective.

Article Synopsis
  • In June 2019, a patient in Inner Mongolia developed severe symptoms after a tick bite, leading to the discovery of a new virus named Wetland virus (WELV) through advanced genetic testing.
  • Active surveillance identified 17 cases of WELV infection across multiple regions in China, with patients exhibiting a range of nonspecific symptoms and laboratory abnormalities.
  • WELV was isolated from various ticks and animals, and studies showed that it can cause serious illness in mice, indicating a potential tick vector for the virus.

Article Synopsis
  • Rodents, particularly zokors, which are specialized herbivorous mammals, are studied for their unique diets and gut microecology as they have adapted to underground living by feeding on underground plant parts.
  • The study analyzed the gut bacterial communities of two zokor species, finding distinct differences in gut microbial diversity and specific indicator genera aligned with their dietary habits.
  • The results indicated that dietary composition (not diversity) influenced feeding habits, with one species showing stronger cellulose degradation abilities, hinting at broader ecological implications for underground rodents in grasslands.

The soil temperature is a key factor affecting the fragile terrestrial ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and has been remarkably altered by the soil mammal's disturbance. This study first analyzed the soil temperature variation in grassland, mound, and bald patch under the disturbance of plateau zokor () from October 2018 to July 2020 in the Qinghai Lake watershed. Then, the SHAW (simultaneous heat and water) model was used to simulate the soil temperature change of three land surface types, and the sensitivity of soil temperature to environmental parameters before and after the disturbance was explored.

RegCloser: a robust regression approach to closing genome gaps.

BMC Bioinformatics

June 2023

National Center of Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences, Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100190, China.

Background: Closing gaps in draft genomes leads to more complete and continuous genome assemblies. The ubiquitous genomic repeats are challenges to the existing gap-closing methods, based on either the k-mer representation by the de Bruijn graph or the overlap-layout-consensus paradigm. Besides, chimeric reads will cause erroneous k-mers in the former and false overlaps of reads in the latter.

Seismic Signaling for Detection of Empty Tunnels in the Plateau Zokor, .

Animals (Basel)

January 2023

College of Grassland Science, Gansu Agricultural University, Key Laboratory of Grassland Ecosystem of the Ministry of Education, Engineering and Technology Research Center for Alpine Rodent Pest Control, National Forestry and Grassland Administration, Lanzhou 730070, China.

There are considerable challenges involved in studying the behavior of subterranean rodents owing to the underground nature of their ecotope. Seismic communication plays a crucial role in the behavior of subterranean rodents, particularly solitary ones. The plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi), a solitary subterranean rodent species endemic to the Qinghai−Tibet Plateau, will usually occupy empty neighboring tunnels in order to extend their territory.
