Altered Daytime Fluctuation Pattern of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Strong Association with Persistently Elevated P... by Katarina Lalić, Aleksandra Jotić, Nataša Rajković, Sandra Singh, Ljubica Stošić, Ljiljana Popović, Ljiljana Lukić, Tanja Miličić, Jelena P. Seferović, Marija Maćešić, Jelena Stanarčić, Milorad Čivčić, Iva Kadić, Nebojša M. Lalić

“…In multiple regression analysis waist-to-hip ratio and AUC of insulin were independent determinants of decrease in PAI-1. The altered diurnal fluctuation of PAI-1, especially in T2D with CAD, might be strongly influenced by a prolonged exposure to hyperinsulinemia in the settings of increased IR and abdominal obesity, facilitating altogether an accelerated atherosclerosis.…”

MaxEnt-Based Predictions of Suitable Potential Distribution of <i>Leymus secalinus</i> Under Current and Future Climate Change by Shimeng Zhao, Zongxian Zhang, Changyu Gao, Yiding Dong, Zeyao Jing, Lixia Du, Xiangyang Hou

“…The results showed the following: (1) Mean diurnal temperature range, annual mean temperature, precipitation of the wettest quarter, and elevation are the major factors impacting the distribution of <i>L. secalinus</i>. (2) Under the current climatic conditions, <i>L. secalinus</i> is mainly distributed in the farming–pastoral ecotone of northern China; in addition, certain suitable areas also exist in parts of Xinjiang, Tibet, Sichuan, Heilongjiang, and Jilin. (3) Under future climate change scenarios, the suitable areas for <i>L. secalinus</i> are generally the same as at present, with slight changes in area under different scenarios, with the largest expansion of 97,222 km² of suitable area in 2021–2040 under the SSP1-26 scenario and the largest shrinkage of potential suitable area in 2061–2080 under the SSP2-45 scenario, with 87,983 km². …”
