insight for better understanding the mechanism underlying the potential of ASIV to cope with cardiac I/R injury.
ASIV was potential to prevent MVL after I/R in heart. Moreover, the study for the first time demonstrated that the beneficial role of ASIV depended on promoting production of ATP through activating IGF1R signaling pathway. This result provided novel insight for better understanding the mechanism underlying the potential of ASIV to cope with cardiac I/R injury.
Cimicifuga racemosa extracts (CRE) have obtained a "well-established use status" in the treatment of postmenopausal (i.e., climacteric) complaints, which predominantly include vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes and sweating, as well as nervousness, irritability, and metabolic changes. Although characteristic postmenopausal complaints are known for a very long time and the beneficial effects of CRE on climacteric symptoms are well accepted, both the pathophysiology of postmenopausal symptoms and the mechanism of action of CREs are not yet fully understood. In particular, current hypotheses suggest that changes in the α-adrenergic and serotonergic signaling pathways secondary to estrogen depletion are responsible for the development of hot flushes.

Some of the symptoms associated with menopause cannot be explained by these hypotheses. Therefore, we attempted to extend our classic understanding of menopause by integrating of partly age-related metabolic impairments.

A comprehensive literature survey waon of this effect dimension, other off-label indications may appear attractive in the sense of repurposing of this herbal treatment.
Estrogen deficiency leads to mitochondrial defects that precede Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated pathological changes in a postmenopausal mouse model. Biochanin A (BCA) is a phytoestrogen isolated from Trifolium pratense L. used to relieve postmenopausal problems in women. In previous work, we observed that oral BCA treatment led to neuroprotection in an ovariectomized rat model. The objective of this study was to investigate whether and how BCA protects against hippocampal mitochondrial damage in a postmenopausal model of AD.

APP/PS1 mice underwent bilateral ovariectomy and then, seven days later, received oral BCA at 20 or 40mg/kg, or oral estradiol at 0.5mg/kg, daily for 90 days. Sham animals were not ovariectomized and received no additional treatments. Cognitive function was examined using the passive avoidance task, novel object recognition test, and Morris water maze test. The level of circulating estrogen in vivo was assessed indirectly by measuring the wet weight of the uterus. We detected Aβ BCA treatment enhances learning and memory abilities and alleviates AD symptoms in a postmenopausal model of AD. A possible mechanism is that BCA rescues the reduction of mitochondrial biogenesis, imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics, and abnormal mitophagy caused by ovariectomy. This study supports further research on BCA to develop treatments for postmenopausal women with AD.Paddy surface water is the direct source of artificial drainage and surface runoff leading to N loss from rice paddy fields. Quantifying the N dynamics in paddy surface water on a large scale is challenging because of model deficiencies and the limitations of field measurements. This study analyzed the N dynamics and the influencing factors in paddy surface water in the three main Chinese rice-growing regions Northeast Plain, Yangtze River Basin, and Southeast Coast. An improved first-order kinetic model was proposed to evaluate the total nitrogen (TN) dynamics at a countrywide scale by improving the calculation method of the initial TN concentration (C0) and providing the optimum value of attenuation coefficient (k). The results show that (1) the average reduction rate of TN concentration on the 7th day after fertilization increased with the growth period (85%, 90%, and 95% during the basal, tillering, and panicle fertilization periods, respectively); (2) the attenuation coefficient k for the growth periods was ranked as follows panicle fertilization period > tillering fertilization period > basal fertilization period. The Yangtze River Basin had the highest average k value (0.31-0.34), followed by the Southeast Coast (0.24-0.41) and Northeast Plain (0.22-0.30); and (3) the improved first-order kinetic model performed well in the N dynamics estimation (R2 > 0.6). High TN concentration with high fertilizer application amounts and precipitation caused the Yangtze River Basin to have a high N runoff loss risk. The proposed universal model realizes the simulation of N dynamics from a single site to multi-sites while greatly saving multi-site monitoring costs. This study provides a basis for effectively optimizing N management and preventing N loss in rice paddies.The widespread use of wipes and other sanitary products made of nonwoven fibres has led to an enormous problem in wastewater treatment systems that has been underestimated for some time. To date, there are no practical alternatives for recycling and valorisation. In this study, cellulosic rejections recovered from a wastewater treatment plant in Barcelona (Spain) were characterised and treated using hydrothermal and enzymatic methods to obtain free sugars. Steam explosion and autoclave pre-treatments were performed at different temperatures (120, 130, or 150 °C) and residence times (10-40 min) under neutral, acidic or basic conditions. The solids obtained after the pre-treatment, as well as the untreated material, were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using commercial enzymes. The untreated substrate reached the highest sugar production 29 g glucose and xylose per 100 g of the cellulosic rejections, equivalent to 86% of the sugars contained in the initial material. These sugars can subsequently be transformed into biofuels or bioproducts within a biorefinery approach.A Decision Support System (DSS) is a highly efficient concept for managing complex objects in nature or human-made phenomena. The main purpose of the present study is related to designing and implementation of real-time monitoring, prediction, and control system for flood disaster management as a DSS. Likewise, the problem of statement in the research is correlated to implementation of a system for different climates of Iran as a unique flood control system. For the first time, this study coupled hydrological data mining, Machine Learning (ML), and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as smart alarm and prevention systems. Likewise, it created the platform for conditional management of floods in Iran's different clusters of climates. According to the KMeans clustering system, which determines homogeneity of the hydrology of a specific region, Iran's rainfall is heterogeneous with 0.61 score, which is approved high efficiency of clustering in a vast country such as Iran with four seasons and different climatehat National announcement for public-institutional participation for rapid response and funding (G1-2), Establishment of delay structures to increase flood focus time to give the animals in the ecosystem the opportunity to escape to the upstream points and to preserve the habitat (G 2-8), and Granting free national financial resources by government agencies in order to rebuild sensitive infrastructure such as railways, hospitals, schools, etc. to the provincial treasury (G3-10) are selected as the best solution of flood management in Social, Environmental, and Economic crises, respectively. Finally, the collected data are categorized in Social, Environmental, and Economic aspects as three dimensions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ranked based on the opinion of 32 experts in the five provinces of present case studies.Estuarine wetlands are often located in economically developed and densely populated estuarine deltas, which are frequently disturbed and threatened by human activities. Reclamation, as an important way to alleviate the demand for local land resources, can lead to habitat destruction of natural coastal wetlands and weakening of ecological service functions, including carbon sink capacity. Research has shown that poor plant growth and weakened carbon fixation were the main reasons for the reduced carbon sequestration in a reclaimed wetland. This study aimed to examine the impacts of plant management on the improvement or restoration of carbon sink function in Chongming Dongtan reclaimed wetland, located in the Yangtze River Estuary, China. A management pattern that could effectively enhance the carbon sink function of the reclaimed wetland was selected based on analyses of the effects of different plant harvesting and management patterns (no harvesting, harvesting without returning to the field, direct straw return, and charred straw return) on the plant growth, carbon fixation, and soil respiration, combined with whole-life-cycle carbon footprint evaluation from straw harvest to field return. Compared with no harvesting, the aboveground biomass of direct straw return and charred straw return increased by about 12.3% and 15.5%, respectively (P less then 0.05). Simultaneously, straw charring released the least amount of CO2 (1.94 μmol m-2 s-1) and inhibited degradation of soil organic carbon through affecting its microbial community structure. Moreover, considering the carbon budget of different patterns, the charred straw return pattern also most effectively enhanced the carbon sink function and thus could be used for subsequent improvement of carbon sequestration in reclaimed wetlands.
Artesunate (ART) is recognized for its anticancer activity, but a few studies concentrate on its anti-skin cancer effect. This study emphazied this aspect and preliminarily discussed the impact and mechanism of ART on cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).

The viability of HaCaT and CSCC cells treated with ART (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, or 210 μmol/L) for 48h were assessed utilizing cell counting kit-8. Next, the migration, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle of CSCC cells treated with ART were evaluated by dint of cell function experiments. Then, cell cycle-, apoptosis-, and phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway-related markers were examined via western blot or quantitative real-time PCR. Moreover, the influences of ART and PI3K/AKT agonist IGF-I on CSCC cell biological behaviors were gauged again.

The suppressive role of ART (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, or 210 μmol/L) was stronger in viability of CSCC cells than in viability of HaCaT cells. ART evidently attenuated the migration, invasion and proliferation, lessened cell numbers at G2/M phase and triggered apoptosis of CSCC cells. At the molecular level, ART regulated cell cycle-, apoptosis-, and PI3K/AKT pathway-related markers in CSCC cells. Moreover, the suppression of ART on CSCC cell malignant phenotypes was reversed by PI3K/AKT agonist IGF-I.

ART restrains the malignant progression of CSCC, which may be intensely related to the PI3K/AKT pathway repression.

Obesity is an important public health problem in the United States. Identifying modifiable risk factors could guide public health intervention efforts. In this study, we leveraged a nationally representative sample of the US population to examine sex differences in the association between short sleep and obesity among US adults.

Publicly available cross-sectional national data were extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2015 through 2020. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tj-m2010-5.html A multivariable survey logistic regression model was fitted for the association between short sleep (defined as less than 7h of sleep in 24h) and obesity, accounting for sample stratification, clustering, and weighing. Heterogeneity was assessed using interaction terms overall and by fitting a sex-stratified model.

A total of 15,562 persons aged 18 years and older were included in the study. The majority were non-Hispanic whites, 18-44 years of age, with at most a high school education. Short sleepers tended to be female (55.9%; 95% CI 53.
