Sevoflurane preconditioning (SPC) can provide myocardial protective effects similar to ischemic preconditioning (IPC). However, the underlying molecular mechanism of SPC remains unclear. Studies confirm that hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) can transform cells from aerobic oxidation to anaerobic glycolysis by activating the switch protein pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-1 (PDK-1), thus providing energy for the normal life activities of cells under hypoxic conditions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the cardioprotective effects of SPC are associated with activation of the HIF-1a/PDK-1 signal pathway.

The H9c2 cardiomyocytes hypoxia/reoxygenation model was established and treated with 2.4% sevoflurane at the end of equilibration. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, cell viability, cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential, key enzymes of glycolysis, ATP concentration of glycolysis were assessed after the intervention. Apoptosis related protein(Bcl-2, Bax), HIF-1a protein, and PDK-lysis in the early stage of hypoxia.The present study examines the effect of introducing dried brewery spent grain (BSG), known as the main solid by-product of the brewery industry on biogas yields and kinetics in co-digestion with sewage sludge (SS). The experiment was conducted in semi-continuous anaerobic reactors (supplied once a day) operating under mesophilic conditions (35°C) at different hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 18 and 20 d. In co-digestion runs, the BSG mass to the feed volume ratio was constant and maintained 110.The results indicated that the addition of BSG did not influence the biogas production, by comparison with SS mono-digestion (control run). At HRT of 18 d, in the co-digestion run, the average methane yield was 0.27 m3 kg/VSadded, while in the control run the higher value of 0.29 m3 kg/VSaddedwas observed. However, there was no difference in terms of statistical significance. At HRT of 20 d, the methane yield was 0.21 m3 kg/VSadded for both mono- and co-digestion runs. In the BSG presence, the decrease in kinetic constant values was observed. selleck chemicals As compared to SS mono-digestion, reductions by 21 and 35% were found at HRT of 20 and 18 d, respectively. However, due to the supplementation of the feedstock with BSG rich in organic compounds, the significantly enhanced energy profits were achieved with the highest value of approx. 40% and related to the longer HRT of 20 d. Importantly, the mono- and co-digestion process proceeded in stable manner. Therefore, the anaerobic co-digestion of SS and BSG might be considered as a cost-effective solution that could contribute to the energy self-efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and sustainable waste management for breweries.The accurate and timely monitoring of the soil salt content (SSC) at different depths is the prerequisite for the solution to salinization in the arid and semiarid areas. Sentinel-2 has demonstrated significant superiority in SSC inversion for its higher temporal, spatial and spectral resolution, but previous research on SSC inversion with Sentinel-2 mainly focused on the unvegetated surface soil. Based on Sentinel-2 data, this study aimed to build four machine learning models at five depths (0∼20 cm, 20∼40 cm, 40∼60 cm, 0∼40 cm, and 0∼60 cm) in the vegetated area, and evaluate the sensitivity of Sentinel-2 to SSC at different depths and the inversion capability of the models. Firstly, 117 soil samples were collected from Jiefangzha Irrigation Area (JIA) in Hetao Irrigation District (HID), Inner Mongolia, China during August, 2019. Then a set of independent variables (IVs, including 12 bands and 32 spectral indices) were obtained based on the Sentinel-2 data (released by the European Space Agency), and the full subset selection was used to select the optimal combination of IVs at five depths. Finally, four machine learning algorithms, back propagation neural network (BPNN), support vector machine (SVM), extreme learning machine (ELM) and random forest (RF), were used to build inversion models at each depth. The model performance was assessed using adjusted coefficient of determination (R2adj ), root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The results indicated that 20∼40 cm was the optimal depth for SSC inversion. All the models at this depth demonstrated a good fitting (R2adj ≈ 0.6) and a good control of the inversion errors (RMSE BPNN model. This study can provide a reference for soil salinization monitoring in large vegetated area.

S-RNase-based SI is controlled by two closely related genes, S-RNase and S-locus F-box (SLF), located at a polymorphic S-locus. In the SI system, the SCF-type (SKP1-CUL1-F-box-RBX1) complex functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex for ubiquitination of non-self S-RNase. Pummelo (Citrus grandis) and several mandarin cultivars are suggested to utilize an S-RNase-based SI system. However, the molecular mechanism of the non-S-factors involved in the SI reaction is not straightforward in Citrus. To investigate the SCF-type E3 complex responsible for the SI reaction in mandarin, SLF, SKP1-like and CUL1 candidates potentially involved in the SI reaction of 'Wuzishatangju' (Citrus reticulata Blanco) were identified based on the genome-wide identification and expression analyses. Sixteen pollen-specific F-box genes (CrFBX1-CrFBX16), one pollen-specific SKP1-like gene (CrSKP1-e) and two CUL1 genes (CrCUL1A and CrCUL1B) were identified and cloned from 'Wuzishatangju'.
