We have studied the spatial and temporal variation of the surface longwave radiation (downwelling and net) over a 21-year period in the tropical and subtropical Pacific Ocean (40 S–40 N, 90 E-75 W). The fluxes were computed using a deterministic model for atmospheric radiation transfer, along with satellite data from the ISCCP-D2 database and reanalysis data from NCEP/NCAR (acronyms explained i...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a frequent cause of pediatric liver disease; however, the data on DILI are remarkably limited. METHODS All 69 children hospitalized with DILI between January 2009 and December 2011 were retrospectively studied. RESULTS A total of 37.7% of the children had medical histories of respiratory infection. The clinical injury patterns were as foll...

BACKGROUND To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Salvianolate injection in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP). METHODS Using literature databases, we conducted a thorough and systematic retrieval of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that using Salvianolate injection for treating UAP. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the met...

BACKGROUND Xuesaitong Injection (XST) is one of the most commonly used medicines for treating acute cerebral infarction (ACI) in China. However, compared to the conventional therapy with western medicines (WM), the effectiveness and safety of XST as an adjuvant treatment for ACI needs to be systematically reviewed. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing XST & WM with WM for tre...

Diffuse solar radiation is an essential component of surface that contributes to carbon sequestration, photovoltaic power generation, and renewable energy production in terrestrial ecosystems. We constructed a 39-year (1982–2020) daily diffuse dataset (CHSSDR), using ERA5 MERRA_2 reanalysis data, with spatial resolution 10 km through developed ensemble model (generalized additive models, GAM). ...

Alcohol-induced white matter (WM) degeneration is linked to cognitive-motor deficits and impairs insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and Notch networks regulating oligodendrocyte function. Ethanol downregulates Aspartyl-Asparaginyl-β-Hydroxylase (ASPH) which drives Notch. These experiments determined if alcohol-related WM degeneration was linked to inhibition of ASPH and Notch. Adult Long ...

4 Abstract 5 Background: Xuesaitong Injection (XST) is one of the most commonly used medicines for 6 treating acute cerebral infarction (ACI) in China. However, compared to the conventional 7 therapy with western medicines (WM), the effectiveness and safety of XST as an adjuvant 8 treatment for ACI needs to be systematically reviewed. 9 Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing XST...

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the adolescents with internalizing problems and non-clinical adolescents with respect to their episodic future thinking (EFT) and working memory (WM). Furthermore, this study examined the role of WM in the prediction of EFT. Methods: This cross-sectional study encompassed a population of female students studying in third grade in Azarshahr Girl&rsq...
