Selection of irrigation regime for seed production of native plant in desert steppe.

It is of great significance to establish a suitable irrigation regime for the artificial propagation of native plant in arid areas. Taking the wild excellent herbage from desert steppe of Ningxia as test material, we set up an experiment with nine irrigation regimes (three irrigation times of 2, 3, and 4 times, crossed with three irrigation quotas of 150, 250, and 350 m·hm) to select the best regime by investigating the effects of different irrigation regimes on the agronomic characteristics related to seed production, seed yield and quality, as well as water use efficiency. We found that the irrigation time and quota had significant effect on plant height, branch number, reproductive branch number, inflorescence number, pod number, pod seed number, and the thousand-seed weight.

A New Bacterial Strain Producing Both of the Surfactin and Fengycin Lipopeptide Biosurfactant with Strong Emulsifications on Crude Oil.

A new lipopeptide-producing strain Cytobacillus sp. R3-1 was isolated from the production water of the Daqing oilfield in China and identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. The strain R3-1 is capable of simultaneously producing both of the surfactin and fengycin, the two major families of the lipopeptide biosurfactant.

Association between single and multiple cardiometabolic diseases and all-cause mortality among Chinese older adults: A prospective, nationwide cohort study.

Background And Aim: Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are leading causes of death and disability, but little is known about the additive mortality effects of multiple CMDs. This study aimed to examine the association between single and multiple CMDs and all-cause mortality among older Chinese population.

Methods And Results: Using the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) database, we analyzed data from 2008 to 2018 to assess the relationship between CMDs and mortality.

Quantum heat valve and diode of strongly coupled defects in amorphous material.

The mechanical strain can control the frequency of two-level atoms in amorphous material. In this work, we would like to employ two coupled two-level atoms to manipulate the magnitude and direction of heat transport by controlling mechanical strain to realize the function of a thermal switch and valve. It is found that a high-performance heat diode can be realized in the wide piezo voltage range at different temperatures.

Hyaluronic Acid-modified Liposomes for Ursolic Acid-targeted Delivery Treat Lung Cancer Based on p53/ARTS-mediated Mitochondrial Apoptosis.

Background: Chemotherapy drugs can cause drug resistance and other problems when treating lung cancer, which leads to treatment failure. Ursolic acid (UA) is used in formulations based on traditional Chinese medicine. UA has excellent anti-tumor effects, but they are limited by solubility and non-specificity to tumor cells.

[Identification of Complex and Combined Antibody Consisted of Anti-c, Anti-E, Anti-Jk and Anti-Fy].

Objective: To investigate the role of multiple serological methods in the identification of complex antibodies.

Methods: The blood group antigens were detected by saline and microcolumn agglutination methods. The saline method was used to screen and identify IgM-type antibodies in the patient's serum, while the polybrene, anti-globulin, microcolumn agglutination, enzymic and absorption-elution methods were used to screen and identify IgG-type antibodies.

Release of virtual photon and phonon pairs from qubit-plasmon-phonon ultrastrong coupling system.

The most important difference between ultrastrong and non-ultrastrong coupling regimes is that the ground state contains excitations. We consider a qubit-plasmon-phonon ultrastrong coupling (USC) system with a three-level atom coupled to the photon and phonon via its upper two energy levels and show that spontaneous emission of the atom from its intermediate to its ground state produces photon and phonon pairs. It is shown that the current system can produce a strong photon/phonon stream and the atom-phonon coupling plays the active role, which ensures the experimental detection.

Air pollution weaken your muscle? Evidence from a cross-sectional study on sarcopenia in central China.

Background: As the world experiences a demographic shift towards aging populations, there will be a significant surge in the number of sarcopenia patients, along with an unprecedented expansion in the associated economic burden. The multitudinous risk factors for sarcopenia have been reported, but evidence for air pollution remains rare.

Methods: This cross-sectional study employed multi-stage random sampling to select 1592 participants over 40 years of age from Hubei Province.

The correlation between pharmacological activity and contents of eight constituents of Fisch.

Licorice ( Fisch. (GUF), Leguminosae) has been extensively applied in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat diseases, exactly, in almost half of Chinese herbal prescription. However, the relationship between chemical contents and efficacy has not been established, which could evaluate GUF quality.

Calcium isotopic geochemistry of geothermal systems in the tectonically active southeastern Tibetan Plateau.

The global Calcium (Ca) cycle is closely coupled to the carbon cycle, and Ca isotopes have potential in tracing it. Even though groundwater is one of the main reservoirs of Ca at the Earth's surface, few data are available for groundwater, and the behavior of Ca and its isotopes in geothermal systems remains unknown. Here we analysed the stable Ca and radiogenic Sr isotope compositions of thermal waters distributed along the Jinsha and Yalong river valleys in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau.

Fingolimod protects against neurovascular unit injury in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Recent research on the underlying mechanisms of cerebral ischemia indicates that the neurovascular unit can be used as a novel subject for general surveys of neuronal damage and protein mechanisms. Fingolimod (FTY-720) is a newly developed immunosuppressant isolated from Cordyceps sinensis that exhibits a wide range of biological activities, and has recently attracted much attention for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. In the current research, the role of FTY-720 and its possible mechanisms were assessed from an neurovascular unit perspective using a rat cerebral ischemia model.

Potentially Overestimated Efficacy of Nanoparticle Albumin-bound Paclitaxel compared with Solvent-based Paclitaxel in Breast Cancer: A Systemic Review and Meta-analysis.

Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) has exhibited clinical efficacy in breast cancer treatment, but toxicities can be yielded more at the same time. We did this meta-analysis aiming to unambiguously compare nab-PTX with conventional solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-PTX) in breast cancer patients of all stages. Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for head-to-head randomized controlled trials of nab-PTX and sb-PTX in breast cancer.

Depletion of MRPL35 inhibits gastric carcinoma cell proliferation by regulating downstream signaling proteins.

Background: Gastric carcinoma (GC) is a digestive system disease with high morbidity and mortality. However, early clinical detection is difficult, and the therapeutic effect for advanced disease is not satisfactory. Thus, finding new tumor markers and therapeutic targets conducive to the treatment of GC is imperative.
