Impact of the digital economy on urban green growth: Empirical evidence from China

Plos.org 

by Yangjun Ren, Ze Tian, Chao Liu

Using the digital economy to empower urban economic green growth provides essential opportunities for China to achieve high-quality growth. This paper assesses the level of digital economy and green growth in Chinese cities, seeking to explore the mechanisms and effects of the digital economy on urban green growth in a unified framework. The results indicate that the digital economy can drive cities’ green growth. This conclusion still holds after a set of robustness tests. Читать дальше...

ATXN2 is a target of N-terminal proteolysis

Plos.org 

by Monika Chitre, Patrick Emery

Spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (SCA2) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of the poly-glutamine (polyQ) tract of Ataxin-2 (ATXN2). Other polyQ-containing proteins such as ATXN7 and huntingtin are associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases when their N-terminal polyQ domains are expanded. Furthermore, they undergo proteolytic processing events that produce N-terminal fragments that include the polyQ stretch, which are implicated in pathogenesis. Читать дальше...

Factors affecting the green investment and assessing sustainable performance of firms in China

Plos.org 

by Yufei An, Ghulam Rasool Madni

In the process of development, global economies are prioritizing environmental protection and firms are also recognizing the importance of minimizing environmental impact during production along with maximization of profits through green investments. It is vivid that green investments are vital for environmental preservation. So this paper contributes to literature by investigating the role of internal and external factors affecting the decision making of... Читать дальше...

Untargeted metabolomics analysis reveals the metabolic disturbances and exacerbation of oxidative stress in recurrent spontaneous abortion

Plos.org 

by AiNing Wu, YanHui Zhao, RongXin Yu, JianXing Zhou, Ya Tuo

Background

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is characterized by the occurrence of two or more consecutive spontaneous abortions, with a rising prevalence among pregnant women and significant implications for their physical and mental well-being. The multifaceted etiology of RSA has posed challenges in unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying that underlie its pathogenesis. Oxidative stress and immune response have been...

Restored forested wetland surprisingly resistant to experimental salinization

Plos.org 

by Emily A. Ury, Marcelo Ardón, Justin P. Wright, Emily S. Bernhardt

Salinization of coastal freshwater wetlands is an increasingly common and widespread phenomenon resulting from climate change. The ecosystem consequences of added salinity are poorly constrained and highly variable across prior observational and experimental studies. We added 1.8 metric tons of marine salts to replicated 200 m2 plots within a restored forested wetland in Eastern North Carolina over the course of four years. Читать дальше...

Anesthesia-related intervention for long-term survival and cancer recurrence following breast cancer surgery: A systematic review of prospective studies

Plos.org 

by Yuecheng Yang, Yunkui Zhang, Yonghong Tang, Jun Zhang

Objective

Anesthesia is correlated with the prognosis of cancer surgery. However, evidence from prospective studies focusing on breast cancer is currently limited. This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of anesthesia-related interventions on oncological outcomes following breast cancer surgery in prospective studies.

Methods

Literature searches were performed from inception to June. 2023 in the Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, and ClinicalTrials databases. Читать дальше...

The RNA-binding KH-domain in the unique transcription factor of the malaria parasite is responsible for its transcriptional regulatory activity

Plos.org 

by Kanako Komaki-Yasuda, Shigeyuki Kano

To date, only a small number of regulatory transcription factors have been predicted from the genome of Plasmodium and Apicomplexan parasites. We previously identified a nuclear factor named Prx regulatory element-binding protein (PREBP) from Plasmodium falciparum. PREBP had been suggested to bind to the cis-element in the promoter of an antioxidant pf1-cys-prx gene, thereby promoting the expression of downstream genes. PREBP has 4 putative K homology (KH) domains... Читать дальше...

Disparities of health expenditure associated with the experience of admission in long-term care hospital among patients with colorectal cancer in South Korea: A generalized estimating equation

Plos.org 

by Woo-Ri Lee, Noorhee Son, Ki-Bong Yoo, Kyu-Tae Han

With rising concerns about the functional role of long-term care hospitals in the Korean medical system, this study aimed to observe the experience of admission in the long-term care hospitals and their association with medical expenditures among patients with colorectal cancer, and to investigate disparities among vulnerable populations. Data were obtained from the National Health Insurance Senior Cohort Database in South Korea for the period 2008–2019. Читать дальше...

Crawling toward obsolescence: The extended lifespan of amylase for pancreatitis

Plos.org 

by Naga Sasidhar Kanaparthy, Andrew J. Loza, Ronald George Hauser

The correlation between hyperamylasemia and acute pancreatitis was discovered in 1929, yet another test, lipase, was shown to provide better diagnostic performance in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Subsequent studies demonstrated co-ordering amylase with lipase did not provide additional benefit, only added cost. We sought to investigate the impact of studies advocating for the obsolescence of amylase on its clinical demand. Читать дальше...

The development of physical characteristics in adolescent team sport athletes: A systematic review

Plos.org 

by Lars M. Tingelstad, Truls Raastad, Kevin Till, Live S. Luteberget

Background

Physical development during adolescence is crucial for athletes in team sports, as it prepares them for the high sport demands at the senior level. While physical development in non-athletes are well-documented, a comprehensive understanding of adolescent athletes’ development, including the potential effects of team sports participation and training load, is lacking.

Objectives

The study aimed to investigate... Читать дальше...

MaxEnt model strategies to studying current and future potential land suitability dynamics of wheat, soybean and rice cultivation under climatic change scenarios in East Asia

Plos.org 

by Shahzad Ali, Tyan Alice Makanda, Muhammad Umair, Jian Ni

Climate change and variability are projected to alter the geographic suitability of lands for crops cultivation. Accurately predicting changes in the potential current and future land suitability distribution dynamics of wheat (Triticum aestivum), soybean (Glycine max) and rice (Oryza sativa) crops due to climate change scenarios is critical to adapting and mitigating the impacts of bioclimatic changes, and plays a significant role in securing food security in East Asia region.

Spatial distribution and circadian locomotor activity of invasive armored catfish (Loricariidae) in the freshwater and brackish water

Plos.org 

by Efim D. Pavlov, Tran Duc Dien, Ekaterina V. Ganzha

Invasive suckermouth armored catfish Pterygoplichthys spp. successfully spread during one decade into many river systems of Vietnam. Wide and rapid invasion of armored catfish might be associated with using brackish water in estuaries to spread from one river system to another. The first goal of our study was to assess the horizontal and vertical distribution of invasive fish in freshwater (Da Rang River) and in brackish water (Da Rang River estuary) associated with circadian rhythm.
