The research identifies key obstacles to income expansion, including an undiversified industrial structure, insufficient human capital, and a lack of robust social protection. These call for systemic solutions featuring institutional innovation, resource consolidation, and capability enhancement. Building on Zhejiang's experience as a common prosperity demonstration zone, the article constructs an integrated framework centered on four pillars: industrial empowerment, education upgrading, social security reinforcement, and digital coordination. It further offers concrete policy proposals involving the cultivation of localized industries, vocational skill training, enhanced safety nets, and the adoption of digital tools. The study thus offers both theoretical insights and practical paradigms for tackling the challenge of raising incomes in low-income rural areas.展开更多

The 1RS chromosome from the German cultivated rye variety Petkus is critical in wheat breeding. However, its weakened disease resistance highlights the need to identify new resources. In the present study, a novel derived line called D27 was developed from common wheat and Mexico Rye.Cytological observations characterized the karyotype of D27 as 2n=42=21 Ⅱ. Genomic in situ hybridization indicated that a pair of whole-arm translocated Mexico Rye chromosomes were inherited typically in the mitotic and meiosis stages of D27. Experiments using fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) and gliadin electrophoresis showed that D27 lacked wheat 1DS chromosomes. They were replaced by 1RS chromosomes of Mexico Rye, supported by wheat simple-sequence repeat markers, rye sequence characterized amplified region markers, and wheat 40K SNP array analysis.The wheat 1DS chromosomes could not be detected by molecular markers and wheat SNP array, but the presence of rye 1RS chromosomes was confirmed. Agronomic trait assessments indicated that D27 had a higher tiller number and enhanced stripe rust and powdery mildew resistance. In addition, dough properties analysis showed that replacing 1DS led to higher viscosity and lower dough elasticity in D27, which was beneficial for cake making. In conclusion, the novel cytogenetically stable common wheat–Mexico Rye T1DL·1RS translocation line D27 offers excellent potential as outstanding germplasm in wheat breeding programs focusing on disease resistance and yield improvement. Additionally,it can be valuable for researching the rye 1RS chromosome’s genetic diversity.展开更多

文摘Background:Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury(rmTBI)is a significant risk factor for neurodegeneration,characterized by pathological protein deposition and persistent neuroinflammation.Research has observed increased interleukin-33(IL-33)levels in the peripheral blood of patients with rmTBI,suggesting IL-33 may participate in regulating the pathological development of rmTBI.The study aims to elucidate the impact and mechanism of IL-33 in the progression of neuropathology following rmTBI,and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target to improve the neurological outcome.Methods:The study employed an rmTBI mouse model using the wild-type(WT)and IL-33 knockout mice.Cognitive function was assessed via the Y-maze and Barnes tests.The main cell type expressing IL-33 and its receptor,suppression of tumorigenicity 2(ST2),was then investigated in the mouse brain through immunofluorescence colocalization.As the primary neural cell responsible for ST2 expression,microglia were studied in vitro using the BV2 cell line.The effects of lipid droplets(LDs)accumulation and amyloid-beta(Aβ)phagocytosis were measured to elucidate the impact of IL-33 on BV2 cells'phagocytosis.Additionally,HT22 neuronal apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry.Finally,the cognitive effects of intranasal administration of IL-33 were evaluated in mice.Results:IL-33 KO mice exhibited pronounced cognitive impairment after rmTBI.In the mouse brain,astrocytes were identified as the primary source of IL-33 secretion,while microglia predominantly expressed ST2.Transcriptome sequencing revealed that IL-33 significantly influenced phagocytosis function.IL-33 mitigated LDs accumulation in BV2 cells and enhanced Aβphagocytosis in vitro.In addition,the culture medium of BV2 cells with activated IL-33/ST2 signaling reduced HT22 neuronal apoptosis and axonal damage.Furthermore,intranasal administration of IL-33 was observed to be effective in alleviating neurodegeneration and cognitive outcome of rmTBI mice.Conclusions:Dysfunction of the IL-33/ST2 axis following rmTBI leads to cognitive dysfunction via impairing microglial phagocytosis capacity and promoting neuronal damage.IL-33 would be a promising therapeutic target for alleviating neurodegeneration following rmTBI.
文摘Taking the rural low-income population of Zhejiang Province as its subject, this paper examines how to build a sustainable income-growth mechanism and identify feasible implementation paths within the context of the common prosperity strategy. The research identifies key obstacles to income expansion, including an undiversified industrial structure, insufficient human capital, and a lack of robust social protection. These call for systemic solutions featuring institutional innovation, resource consolidation, and capability enhancement. Building on Zhejiang's experience as a common prosperity demonstration zone, the article constructs an integrated framework centered on four pillars: industrial empowerment, education upgrading, social security reinforcement, and digital coordination. It further offers concrete policy proposals involving the cultivation of localized industries, vocational skill training, enhanced safety nets, and the adoption of digital tools. The study thus offers both theoretical insights and practical paradigms for tackling the challenge of raising incomes in low-income rural areas.

文摘The Chinese government’s common prosperity policy has inspired a series of rural development initiatives aimed at reducing income disparities between urban and rural areas.Zhejiang Province was designated as the first demonstration zone in China’s pursuit of common prosperity.To explore the demonstration effect of rural development on narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas,this study adopts the Theil index to measure urban-rural income disparity levels and explores spatial evolution patterns of the income disparity in 52 counties of Zhejiang Province,China from 2011 to 2020.The spatial Durbin model is also used to investigate the impact of rural development on the urban-rural income disparity.The results show that:1)Urban-rural income disparities have gradually narrowed.Moreover,income disparities across the province are spatially clustered from north to south.Narrowing the gap between mountainous and non-mountainous counties is imperative for resolving these spatial imbalances in the short term.2)Rural development reduces urban-rural income disparity levels and generates economic and technological spillover effects,as evidenced by the phenomenon where development in one county leads to reduced income disparities in neighboring counties.3)The technological innovation enhances the co-development of rural industries through technological diffusion effects,further strengthening rural development.Finally,enhancing the ecological environment synergizes with rural development to reduce urban-rural income disparities.The research results provide policy implications for narrowing the urban-rural income disparity and promoting common prosperity.

文摘Rye(Secale cereale L., 2n=2x=14, RR) is a significant genetic resource for improving common wheat because of its resistance to multiple diseases and abiotic-stress tolerant traits. The 1RS chromosome from the German cultivated rye variety Petkus is critical in wheat breeding. However, its weakened disease resistance highlights the need to identify new resources. In the present study, a novel derived line called D27 was developed from common wheat and Mexico Rye.Cytological observations characterized the karyotype of D27 as 2n=42=21 Ⅱ. Genomic in situ hybridization indicated that a pair of whole-arm translocated Mexico Rye chromosomes were inherited typically in the mitotic and meiosis stages of D27. Experiments using fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) and gliadin electrophoresis showed that D27 lacked wheat 1DS chromosomes. They were replaced by 1RS chromosomes of Mexico Rye, supported by wheat simple-sequence repeat markers, rye sequence characterized amplified region markers, and wheat 40K SNP array analysis.The wheat 1DS chromosomes could not be detected by molecular markers and wheat SNP array, but the presence of rye 1RS chromosomes was confirmed. Agronomic trait assessments indicated that D27 had a higher tiller number and enhanced stripe rust and powdery mildew resistance. In addition, dough properties analysis showed that replacing 1DS led to higher viscosity and lower dough elasticity in D27, which was beneficial for cake making. In conclusion, the novel cytogenetically stable common wheat–Mexico Rye T1DL·1RS translocation line D27 offers excellent potential as outstanding germplasm in wheat breeding programs focusing on disease resistance and yield improvement. Additionally,it can be valuable for researching the rye 1RS chromosome’s genetic diversity.
文摘To date,there are no known specific antiviral medicines recommended for coronavirus disease 2019(COVID‑19).The treatment mainly focuses on the improvement of the immunity of the individual and the application of palliative treatment.A case of a patient diagnosed with mild COVID‑19 and then later developed common COVID‑19 which was treated and closely monitored at home will be presented.The patient was advised for self‑quarantine with several prescribed medications.Nursing home and self‑care advice were given to the patient,including a change of lifestyle for the duration of the isolation,medication advice,symptomatic care,change of diet,how to monitor the progress of the disease,psychological care,and follow‑up instructions.During the course of the nursing plan,the patient showed significant improvements,and normal life functions were restored.On February 05,2020,novel coronavirus nucleic acid test showed negative after re‑examination;the patient was cured.Therefore,providing adequate nursing plan for home‑based self‑care treatment can effectively cure mild and common cases of COVID‑19.
文摘氨气(NH_(3))作为一种兼具储能的无碳燃料,在能源领域具有极大的应用前景。然而,NH_(3)的燃烧特性与常规碳氢燃料有着明显差异。该文通过数值模拟方法,研究了CH_(4)/NH_(3)的混合燃料低氧稀释(moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution,MILD)燃烧特性。结果表明,在甲烷MILD燃烧中添加NH_(3)使出口NO排放亟剧增加。过量空气系数大于1时,减小过量空气系数使NO和CO的排放降低。NH_(3)中的N元素转化成NO的转化率随燃料中NH_(3)的增加和过量空气系数的降低而减小。
