Diversity of lithophytic moss species in karst regions in response to elevation gradients. by Yalin Jin, Xiurong Wang

“…Among them, wefts and turfs appeared in all elevations, while a small amount of Pendants appeared in the area of elevational gradient I (970-1151m), and the most abundant life form was found in the range of elevational gradient III (1334-1515m); (3) Patrick richness index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index were highly significantly (p<0.01) positively correlated, both of which increased and then decreased with elevation, reaching a maximum at elevation gradient III (1334-1515m); The Simpson dominance index had a highly significant (p<0.01) negative correlation with the Patrick richness index and the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, which showed a decreasing and then increasing trend with increasing altitude; Pielou evenness index showed no discernible trend; (4) β diversity study revealed that while the similarity coefficient tended to decrease with increasing altitude, the species composition of bryophytes increased. …”

The compensatory enrichment of sphingosine-1-phosphate on HDL in FSGS enhances the protective function of glomerular endothelial cells compared to MCD by Yunfeng Xiong, Qiuping Ye, Lifang Liu, Wanjun Lin, Yonggen Liao, Ruiyu Gao, Jiaming Xu, Xinyu Zhang, Ruoyan Chen, Sihui Chen, Qiaoling Chen, Lixin Wei

“…Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a molecule transported by high-density lipoproteins (HDL), exhibits protective effects on vascular endothelial cells by upregulating phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (p-eNOS) and enhancing nitric oxide (NO) production. Nevertheless, the abundance of S1P within HDL in individuals with FSGS and minimal change disease (MCD) is yet to be elucidated, and its defensive role in GECs necessitates empirical confirmation. …”
