Parthenolide improves sepsis-induced coagulopathy by inhibiting mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in vascular endothelial cells through BRD4/BCL-xL pathway by Jun Zhang, Xing Zhu, Yong Li, Yinyu Wu, Yunxia Du, Hai Yang, Zhengchao Liu, Haoyu Pei, Rui Li, Huan Luo, Deyu Zuo, Han She, Qingxiang Mao

“…PTL treatment also enhances coagulation function, augments vascular endothelial cell (VEC) function, reduces mitochondrial fragmentation, and increases both mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), while inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. By increasing BRD4/BCL-xL levels, PTL can prevent mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in VECs, improve VEC function, and consequently ameliorate SIC. …”

Alpine vegetation community patterns in the Khumbu region, Nepalese Himalaya by Ruolin Leng, Stephan Harrison, Elizabeth A. Byers, Mahesh Magar, Harkrei Rai, Ram Raj Rijal, Karen Anderson

“…Grassy meadows and dwarf shrubs belonging to the Rhododendron and Juniperus families dominate the ecology of the alpine zone in this region, so we created three vegetation classes for mapping indicative major plant communities dominated by these species. We found that altitude and aspect were dominant drivers of vegetation distribution in the HAZ and that the average vegetation cover of Rhododendron spp. and Juniperus spp. reduces with increasing altitude, as expected. …”
