The pollutants after were discharged into the water can gradually degrade through the self-purification. The oxygen consumption and pollutant degradation rates characterize the self-purification of small and medium-sized streams, while the dynamics of the two characteristics for large rivers has not been reported yet. The in-situ investigation for 297 sites in the 1700 km stream of the Yangtze River was conducted. The oxygen consumption rate was 0.003d, and the degradation rate of organic pollutants was greater than that of inorganics. The degradation of anion surfactant was the fastest, while the degradation of TN was the slowest, with rates of 0.043 and 0.001 d, respectively. The oxygen consumption rate was negatively correlated with the degradation rate of COD, anion surfactant, and TP, indicating the synchronicity between reaeration and degradation during the self-purification. This study highlighted the role of synchronicity in modelling of water quality and estimation of environmental capacity for large rivers.

Materials And Methods: To achieve this goal, a clinical and functional study was carried out in the mucous membrane of the alveolar ridge after vestibuloplasty in 80 patients (35 men and 45 women) aged from 18 to 65 years, average age 41.5±1.
Background: Peak oxygen consumption during exercise (VO peak), is a direct measure of cardiorespiratory fitness (CF), a key indicator of physical function and overall health. However, the molecular changes that underpin VO peak variation are not clear. Our objective is to understand the miRNA signatures that relate to VO peak variation, which could provide insights to novel mechanisms that contribute to low VO peak.

Aims/introduction: Metformin treatment for hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP) beneficially improves maternal glucose metabolism and reduces perinatal complications. However, metformin could impede pancreatic β cell development via impaired mitochondrial function. A new anti-diabetes drug imeglimin, developed based on metformin, improves mitochondrial function.

It has been well established that adenosine plays a key role in the control of inflammation through G protein coupled receptors and recently shown that it can regulate thermogenesis. Here we investigated the specific requirements of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) in mature adipocytes for thermogenic functionality and metabolic homeostasis. We generated fat tissue specific adenosine A2A receptor knock-out mice to assess the influence of signaling through this receptor on brown and beige fat functionality, obesity, insulin sensitivity, inflammation and liver function.
