The Assembly of Supermassive Black Holes at z < 1 in Early-type Galaxies from Scaling Relations by D. Farrah, A. Engholm, E. Hatziminaoglou, S. Petty, F. Shankar, A. Efstathiou, K. Ejercito, K. Jones, M. Lacy, C. Lonsdale, C. Pearson, G. Tarlé, R. A. Windhorst, J. Afonso, D. L. Clements, K. S. Croker, L. K. Pitchford

“…We show, however, that this relation depends on the stellar and SMBH mass functions used to compute the selection bias, the virial relation, the virial factor, and the active fraction, which together introduce uncertainty of up to ​​​​​​∼0.6 dex in the z ∼ 0.8 relation. …”

Genome-wide search for copy number variations associated with blood parameters in Large White pigs by M. A. Kolosova, L. V. Getmantseva, S. Yu. Bakoev, A. Yu. Kolosov

“…However, few studies have focused on the associations of CNVs with blood parameters, which could help identify subtle mechanisms underlying the physiological regulation of phenotypes associated with health and selection-important traits. The aim of this work was to identify CNVs associated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), urea (Urea), red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts in Large White pigs and to identify candidate genes that may be considered as genetic markers in hematopoietic functions, physiological processes and productivity phenotypes. …”

Distal radial artery ligation for dialysis access-associated ischemic syndrome by ZHANG Li-hong, ZHAN Shen, YANG Tao, WANG Yu-zhu

“…Objective To summarize the experience of treatment for dialysis access-associated ischemic steal syndrome by ligating distal radial artery of radial cephalic fistulas(RCFs).Methods We enrolled hemodialysis patients who used RCFs with complaint of ipsilateral limb ischemia admitted in our department Anatomical prerequisites(side-to-end anastomosis fistula and retrograde flow in the distal radial artery) were checked by ultrasound,the patency of central artery by angiography,and the function of ulnar artery by Allen test Division and ligation of the juxta-anastomosis distal radial artery were performed under regional anesthesia.Clinical presentation,blood flow during hemodialysis,urea clearance index,urea reduction rate,and fistula patency were observed before and after operation.Results This study included 16 patients(8 males and 8 females,accounting for roughly 1.45%of hospitalizations of patients associated with fistula complications at the corresponding time) who underwent DRAL of RCFs with ischemia,of whom the mean age was(66.2 ± 11.2) years,fistula age was(57.75 ± 88.41) months,and the ischemia was detected(39.62 ± 58.31) months after the construction of fistula.According to clinical presentation,71.40%patients were grade Ⅲ,28.60%were grade Ⅱ,and no patients belonged to grade Ⅳ.The technique success rate was 100%and clinical success rate was 93.7%.Blood flow during hemodialysis before and 7 days,6 months and 12 months after operation was(258.63 + 25.44),(246.61 ± 24.24),(260.42 ± 20.83) and(254.87 ± 22.44) ml/min(P>0.05),and Kt/V was(1.65 ± 0.210),(1.59 +0.24),(1.62±0.28) and(1.58 ±0.39)(P>0.05),respectively.The mean follow-up duration was(19.30 ± 13.15) months and the patency rate was 100%.Conclusions DRAL is a simple,safe,and effective technique for dialysis access-associated ischemic syndrome in RCFs.…”

Relationship between ecological spatial network and vegetation carbon use efficiency in the Yellow River Basin, China by Chenglong Xu, Xiang Chen, Qiang Yu, Buyanbaatar Avirmed, Jikai Zhao, Wei Liu, Weijie Sun

“…Subsequently, the interrelationship between topological metrics and vegetation CUE was analyzed, and optimization strategies were proposed based on the significance of the structure and function. The findings revealed that: (1) Vegetation CUE exhibited a spatially decreasing trend from the western to eastern regions, with spatial patterns correlated with vegetation types, temperature, and precipitation distribution; (2) The ecological spatial network demonstrated a denser configuration in the upper and middle reaches and a sparser and shorter pattern in the lower reaches, with seamless connectivity among all regions; (3) Significant correlations were observed between topological metrics and vegetation CUE, prompting the adoption of ecological construction and protection measures when functional importance is deficient, and enhancing the connectivity of ecological sources through the augmentation of ecological corridors when structural importance is lacking. …”
