Larger platelets, compared to small ones, increase platelet adhesion and aggregation, and present a higher thrombotic activity. Some studies have explored the association between MPV and the morbidity of portal vein thrombosis （PVT）. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive effect of MPV in patients with PVT by a meta-analysis. We searched Pubmed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, OVID, CNKI and CBMD from database inception to September 13, 2017. Seven studies in accordance with selection criteria were included. The extraction of basic data was independently conducted by two reviewers. The mean difference in MPV between PVT patients and controls were pooled with weighted mean difference （WMD） and 95% confidence interval of 0.88 fl （95% CI： 0.61-1.15）. A random-effect model was chosen for an obvious heterogeneity in the pooling （Chi-square=27.12, df=6, P〈0.0001, F=77.9%）. The sources of heterogeneity were from the difference of primary disease of participants and portal vein diameter. Taken together, our results reveal that MPV is a predictive indicator in patients with PVT.展开更多

Successfully established model animals were treated by blood-letting puncture at twelve Jing-Well points of the hand, and/or by injecting mannitol into the caudal vein twice daily. Brain tissue was collected at 24, 48 and 72 hours after modeling, and blood was collected through the retinal vein before Evans blue was injected, approximately 1 hour prior to harvesting of brain tissue. Results showed that Evans blue leakage into brain tissue and serum nitric oxide synthase activity were significantly increased in model rats. Treatment with blood-letting punctures at twelve Jing-Well points of the hand and/or injection of mannitol into the caudal vein reduced the amount of Evans blue leakage into the brain tissue and serum nitric oxide synthase activity to varying degrees. There was no significant difference between single treatment and combined treatment. Experimental findings indicate that blood-letting punctures at twelve Jing-Well points of the hand can decrease blood-brain barrier permeability and serum nitric oxide synthase activity in rats following middle cerebral artery occlusion, and its effect is similar to that of mannitol injection alone and Jing-Well points plus mannitol injection.展开更多

文摘Improving the accuracy of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds(VOCs)emission inventory is crucial for reducing atmospheric pollution and formulating control policy of air pollution.In this study,an anthropogenic speciated VOCs emission inventory was established for Central China represented by Henan Province at a 3 km×3 km spatial resolution based on the emission factormethod.The 2019 VOCs emission in Henan Provincewas 1003.5 Gg,while industrial process source(33.7%)was the highest emission source,Zhengzhou(17.9%)was the city with highest emission and April and August were the months with the more emissions.High VOCs emission regions were concentrated in downtown areas and industrial parks.Alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons were the main VOCs contribution groups.The species composition,source contribution and spatial distribution were verified and evaluated through tracer ratio method(TR),Positive Matrix Factorization Model(PMF)and remote sensing inversion(RSI).Results show that both the emission results by emission inventory(EI)(15.7 Gg)and by TRmethod(13.6 Gg)and source contribution by EI and PMF are familiar.The spatial distribution of HCHO primary emission based on RSI is basically consistent with that of HCHO emission based on EI with a R-value of 0.73.The verification results show that the VOCs emission inventory and speciated emission inventory established in this study are relatively reliable.

文摘Lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)are a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage solutions.However,challenges such as the shuttling effect and sluggish Li-S reaction kinetics of lithium polysulfides hinder their practical application.In this work,we present a mixed-phase heterostructure comprising Co_(0.85)Se and MoSe_(2),supported on nitrogen-doped carbon polyhedrons(NCP),as an effective sulfur host in the LSB cathode.Through a combination of theoretical calculations and experimental validation,we demonstrate that the Co_(0.85)Se-MoSe_(2)heterointerface significantly enhances electron transfer efficiency,thereby boosting the overall reaction kinetics of the sulfur cathode.As a result,the Co_(0.85)Se-MoSe_(2)/NCP/S electrodes exhibit initial specific capacities exceeding 1500 mAh g^(-1)at 0.1 C and retain 666 m Ah g^(-1)at 3 C,with a capacity fade rate of 0.044%per cycle over 500 cycles at 1.0 C.Notably,even at a high sulfur loading of 3 mg cm^(-2)and a reduced electrolyte volume of 6.7μL mgS^(-1),the Co_(0.85)SeMoSe_(2)/NCP/S electrodes maintain a capacity of 432 mAh g^(-1)after 100 cycles at 0.2 C.

文摘Objective The combined use of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR)and next-generation sequencing(NGS)to detect molecular measurable residual disease(mMRD)has been shown to have prognostic value for patients undergoing matched-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT).However,there have been no related studies in the context of haploidentical HSCT(haplo-HSCT).Methods We included 148 acute myeloid leukemia(AML)patients who were in first complete remission(CR1)and underwent HSCT at Union Hospital(Wuhan,China)between 2019 and 2023.Among them,28 patients were mMRD(+)before transplantation according to PCR/NGS.Then,on the basis of the 2017 European Leukemia Net(ELN)risk stratification,we randomly enrolled 56 mMRD(–)patients at a 1:2 ratio.Finally,we compared the outcomes,including overall survival(OS),cumulative incidence of relapse(CIR),leukemia-free survival(LFS),and nonrelapse mortality(NRM),between the two groups.Results Persisting mMRD predicts worse long-term clinical outcomes in AML patients who received haplo-HSCT.The 2-year OS and LFS between the mMRD(+)and mMRD(–)groups were 77.1%(95%CI 62.5–95.2)versus 92.3%(95%CI 85.3–99.9)(P=0.044)and 72.7%(95%CI 56.9–92.8)versus 90.7%(95%CI 83.2–98.8)(P=0.003),respectively.The results of multivariate analysis revealed that mMRD(+)patients had worse OS and LFS than control patients did and that the mMRD(+)score was an independent prognostic factor for OS and LFS.Conclusion Pre-HSCT mMRD has predictive value for haplo-HSCT outcomes in AML patients.Patients who are mMRD(+)before transplantation have poorer OS and LFS.For these patients,intensified myeloablative conditioning(MAC),rapid reduction in immunosuppressive agents after 30 days,and pro-donor lymphocyte infusion(DLI)can improve post-transplant outcomes.

文摘This study used steel slag,fly ash,and metakaolin as raw materials(SFM materials)to create silica-alumina-based geopolymers that can solidify Hg^(2+)when activated with sodiumbased water glass.The experiments began with a triangular lattice point mixing design experiment,and the results were fitted,analyzed,and predicted.The optimum SFM material mass ratio was found to be 70%steel slag,25%fly ash,and 5%metakaolin.The optimum modulus of the activator was identified by comparing the unconfined compressive strength and solidifying impact on Hg^(2+)of geosynthetics with different modulus.The SFM geopolymer was then applied in the form of potting to cure the granulated mercury tailings.The inclusion of 50%SFM material generated a geosynthetic that reduced mercury transport to the surface soil by roughly 90%.The mercury concentration of herbaceous plant samples was also reduced by 78%.It indicates that the SFM material can effectively attenuate the migration transformation of mercury.Finally,characterization methods such as XPS and FTIR were used to investigate the mechanism of Hg^(2+)solidification by geopolymers generated by SFM materials.The possible solidification mechanisms were proposed as alkaline environment-induced mercury precipitation,chemical bonding s,surface adsorption of Hg^(2+)and its precipitates by the geopolymer,and physical encapsulation.

文摘A rat model of middle cerebral artery permanent occlusion was established using the modified Longa method. Successfully established model animals were treated by blood-letting puncture at twelve Jing-Well points of the hand, and/or by injecting mannitol into the caudal vein twice daily. Brain tissue was collected at 24, 48 and 72 hours after modeling, and blood was collected through the retinal vein before Evans blue was injected, approximately 1 hour prior to harvesting of brain tissue. Results showed that Evans blue leakage into brain tissue and serum nitric oxide synthase activity were significantly increased in model rats. Treatment with blood-letting punctures at twelve Jing-Well points of the hand and/or injection of mannitol into the caudal vein reduced the amount of Evans blue leakage into the brain tissue and serum nitric oxide synthase activity to varying degrees. There was no significant difference between single treatment and combined treatment. Experimental findings indicate that blood-letting punctures at twelve Jing-Well points of the hand can decrease blood-brain barrier permeability and serum nitric oxide synthase activity in rats following middle cerebral artery occlusion, and its effect is similar to that of mannitol injection alone and Jing-Well points plus mannitol injection.

文摘Skeletal tissue is highly innervated.Although different types of nerves have been recently identified in the bone,the crosstalk between bone and nerves remains unclear.In this review,we outline the role of the peripheral nervous system(PNS)in bone regeneration following injury.We first introduce the conserved role of nerves in tissue regeneration in species ranging from amphibians to mammals.We then present the distribution of the PNS in the skeletal system under physiological conditions,fractures,or regeneration.Furthermore,we summarize the ways in which the PNS communicates with bone-lineage cells,the vasculature,and immune cells in the bone microenvironment.Based on this comprehensive and timely review,we conclude that the PNS regulates bone regeneration through neuropeptides or neurotransmitters and cells in the peripheral nerves.An in-depth understanding of the roles of peripheral nerves in bone regeneration will inform the development of new strategies based on bone-nerve crosstalk in promoting bone repair and regeneration.

文摘Biological nitrogen removal process could be affected due to the presence of heavy metals owing to their toxicity and accumulation in the sludge.In this study,the impact of Cu2+shock on a long-term nitritation operation was investigated in an air-lift reactor with selfrecirculation.Both the dynamics of microbial community and inhibition kinetics under Cu2+stress were ascertained.The results showed that Cu2+exerted severe inhibition on nitritation performance of an air-lift reactor(ALR)at 25 mg/L.The corresponding NH4+-N removal efficiency decreased to below 50%,which was mainly due to the variation of microbial community structure,especially the inhibition of nitrifiers like Nitrosomonas(the relative abundance decreased from 30%to 1%after Cu2+inhibition).Kinetic parameters were obtained and compared after fitting the Haldane model.The long-term Cu2+stress on the ALR aggravated the ammonium affinity and the resistance to substrate self-inhibition of the nitritation sludge,but reduced the resistance to Cu2+inhibition.Furthermore,Cu2+acted as uncompetitive inhibitor on nitritation process.Our results provide new insights into the nitritation characteristics under long-term Cu2+stress.
