Article Synopsis
- Gut dysbiosis may influence immune functions and contribute to the development of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and the treatment with Oxymatrine (OMAT) shows promise in addressing this issue.
- OMAT was tested in EAE model mice, revealing it can restore gut flora diversity and impact metabolic pathways linked to energy and immune responses.
- The treatment also improved the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and reduced inflammation, suggesting OMAT helps alleviate MS symptoms by correcting gut dysbiosis and enhancing gut-brain communication.
Quantitative evaluation of ecosystem service value and its spatial mapping is an effective way to determine priority conservation areas of cultural ecosystem services (CES). We used a combination of questionnaires and structured interviews with public participatory GIS (PPGIS) in Gongqing Forest Park in Shanghai to connect non-monetary CES values with spatially explicit information. This method applied spatial indicators of abundance, diversity and rarity to quantitatively assess the value of CES and their spatial distribution, and identified priority CES areas.
