“…Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que os países desenvolvidos estão consumindo recursos de outras nações e de gerações futuras e, apesar de Brasil e Rússia apresentarem superávits ambientais, o balanço consolidado do planeta no cenário de 2050 aponta para uma situação deficitária ou falimentar, com "passivo a descoberto" ou patrimônio líquido negativo equivalente a US$ 2,3 mil anuais para cada um dos atuais 6,6 bilhões de habitantes (2008) e um passivo ambiental equivalente a um quarto do PIB mundial. …”

Resilience of Fishery Economy in Fujian Coastal Areas from the Perspective of Institutional Evolution by Leng Yun, Wei Suqiong, You Xiaojun, Ren Zhihuang

“…Three main conclusions are drawn: 1) Under the influence of different types of shocks (the super-typhoon in 2006, the financial crisis in 2008, and the upgrading of the fishing industry in 2017), the output value fluctuates significantly owing to the dual effects of production and supply, and the output is more strongly affected by production and more drastically reflective of natural disasters. 2) A spatial regularity exists in the impact of regional crises (typhoons) on industrial resilience resistance; the closer to the disaster center, the poorer the performance of industrial resilience resistance. …”

Merging polymers of intrinsic microporosity and porous carbon-based zinc oxide composites in novel mixed matrix membranes for efficient gas separation by Muning Chen, Jiemei Zhou, Jing Ma, Weigang Zheng, Guanying Dong, Xin Li, Zhihong Tian, Yatao Zhang, Jing Wang, Yong Wang

“…As a result, the CO2 permeability of the optimized C@ZnO/PIM-1 MMMs is elevated to 13,215 barrer, while the CO2/N2 and CO2/CH4 selectivity reached 21.5 and 14.4, respectively, substantially surpassing the 2008 Robeson upper bound. Additionally, molecular simulation results further corroborate that the augmented membrane gas selectivity is attributed to the superior CO2 affinity of C@ZnO. …”

Impact of pulmonary yoga module on lung capacity of COVID-19 adult survivors by Adarsh Tomar, Sudhanshu Verma

“…The mean pulse rate was 88.00 and 84.90 prior and completion of the intervention, respectively (P = 0.2008). CONCLUSION: Indeed, as per the results and evidence, statistically significant changes in peak flow, level of SpO2, and pulse rate and selective yogic practices significantly affect the lung capacity, hence can be used for post-COVID-19 treatment as integrative, alternative, or complementary medicine.…”

西妥昔单抗联合化疗治疗晚期结直肠癌的生存分析及KRAS对疗效的影响

“…【目的】 探讨影响西妥昔单抗联合化疗治疗晚期结直肠患者的生存因素及KRAS基因状态对疗效的影响【方法】收集2005年3月至2008年12月中山大学肿瘤防治中心接受西妥昔单抗联合化疗的晚期结直肠癌患者102例的临床资料,对可能影响预后的临床病理因素进行单因素及多因素生存分析;检测45例石蜡标本KRAS基因,比较不同KRAS状态有效率(ORR)疾病控制率(DCR)无进展生存(PFS)总生存时间(OS)的差异 【结果】 初诊时有肿瘤相关症状者较无症状者OS短(34.0个月vs 43.5个月,P = 0.03);初诊时临床分期高者OS短(ⅡⅢⅣ的OS分别为88.5个月51.0个月22.5个月,P < 0.01);西妥昔单抗联合化疗达到疾病控制者较疾病进展者OS长(43.5个月vs 28.0个月,P < 0.01)39例可检测标本的KRAS突变率为28.2%(11/39),野生型者的ORRDCR均高于突变型者(ORR 42.9% vs 9.1%, P = 0.049; DCR 71.4% vs 36.4%, P = 0.046)野生型的PFS较突变型长(5.0个月vs 2.5个月,P = 0.02),但OS差异无统计学意义(42.5个月vs 33.0个月,P = 0.80),KRAS状态不是独立的预后因素(P = 0.42)【结论】 西妥昔单抗联合化疗治疗ACRC,疾病得到控制者预后好,KRAS野生型者ORRDCR及PFS均优于突变型者,但两者的OS可能无显著差异,KRAS状态不是独立的预后因素…”
