A preliminary study on the pathogenesis of venous malformations caused by Tie2-L914F mutations in endothelial cells by QI Yuchen, HUANG Jiadong, LI Tianyi, LENG Chunru, SI Yameng

“…HE and immunohistochemical staining showed that the expressions of PDGFB and α-SMA were significantly down-regulated in venous malformation tissues with Tie2-L914F mutation, and were positively correlated with the decrease in cell coverage of the tube wall. Compared with Tie2-WT endothelial cells, the apoptosis number of Tie2-L914F endothelial cells was significantly reduced, while the proliferation and migration ability was significantly increased, and the tube-forming ability was significantly decreased. …”

Spatiotemporal Variations of Temperature in Jupiter’s Upper Atmosphere by Kate Roberts, Luke Moore, James O’Donoghue, Henrik Melin, Tom Stallard, Katie L. Knowles, Carl Schmidt, Paola I. Tiranti

“…Other than an in situ measurement by the Galileo Probe, all temperature data come from remote-sensing methods that primarily rely on emissions from H ${}_{3}^{+}$ , the dominant molecular ion in giant planet ionospheres. While H ${}_{3}^{+}$ temperature serves as a proxy for thermospheric temperature under specific conditions, the available H ${}_{3}^{+}$ observations at Jupiter have limited spatial coverage and a wide range of reported temperatures that complicate analysis of atmospheric temperatures. …”

Evaluating and enhancing the service capacity of secondary public hospitals in urban China: a multi-method empirical analysis based on Guangzhou (2019–2023) by Baoling Wu, Baoling Wu, Wenbo Wu, Xi Wang, Weizhang Huang, Zhenni Luo, Jifeng Li

“…Based on panel data from 12 secondary general public hospitals in Guangzhou between 2019 and 2023, we applied a combination of Entropy-TOPSIS model, Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and the Dagum Gini Coefficient to assess overall service capacity levels, temporal trends, and spatial inequalities.ResultsThe findings indicate a general upward trend in service capacity; however, disparities among hospitals have intensified. While indicators of medical safety (e.g., mortality and complication rates) have steadily improved, there remains significant divergence in surgical ratios and pharmaceutical service coverage—particularly in peripheral areas. …”
