Spatial-Temporal Variation and Driving Forces of Carbon Storage at the County Scale in China Based on a Gray Multi-Objective Optimization-Patch-Level Land Use Simulation-Integrated... by Gui Chen, Qingxia Peng, Qiaohong Fan, Wenxiong Lin, Kai Su

“…In contrast, the economic priority, ecological priority, and economic–ecological coordinated scenarios are expected to increase carbon storage by 0.29 Tg, 2.62 Tg, and 1.65 Tg, respectively; (4) the spatial differentiation of carbon storage is jointly influenced by various factors, with the annual mean temperature, night light index, elevation, slope, and population density being the key influencing factors. In addition, the influence of natural factors on carbon storage is diminishing, whereas the impact of socioeconomic factors is on the rise. …”

RETRACTED: Long non‐coding RNA Sox2OT promotes coronary microembolization‐induced myocardial injury by mediating pyroptosis by Liying Xuan, Danni Fu, Dong Zhen, Dongsong Bai, Lijun Yu, Guohua Gong

“…Silencing of Sox2OT favoured miR‐23b binding to 3′UTR of TLR4 mRNA leading to suppressed TLR4‐mediated NFKB signalling and pyroptosis in myocardial tissues harvested from CME rat models. In addition, miR‐23b overexpression could supplement the cytosolic miR‐23b reserves to target TLR‐4 and partially reverse Sox2OT‐mediated pyroptosis in LPS‐treated H9C2 cells. …”

Association of preoperative blood biomarkers with postoperative major adverse cardiac events and mortality in major orthopaedic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Lin Lu, Yi Ren, Zhen Hua, Yanxia Sun, Zhenghao Wen, Suzhen Zhou

“…In contrast, cardiac biomarkers were not identified as having prognostic value for all-cause mortality in this patient cohort. Additionally, an increased risk of all-cause mortality was associated with preoperative abnormal levels of albumin (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.24, I2=84.8%), creatinine (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.95, I2=0), 25(OH)D (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.14, I2=0) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.17, I2=0), rather than cardiac biomarkers.Conclusions The study proposed that cardiac biomarkers assessed before surgery could offer prognostic insight into short-term MACEs, while preoperative abnormal levels of albumin, creatinine, 25 (OH)D and GFR might be prognostic valuable for all-cause mortality following major orthopaedic surgery.PROSPERO registration number CRD42022352091.…”

Role of mordenite zeolite in improving nutrient and water use efficiency in Alfisols by Girijaveni V, Sammi Reddy K, Srinivasarao Ch, Raju B M K, Divya Balakrishnan, Sumanta Kundu, Pushpanjali, Jagriti Rohit, Singh V K

“…Furthermore, the column study revealed that there was 15.4% reduction in NH4+–N loss with 10 tonnes zeolite ha−1 + N @ 100 kg ha−1 as compared to N alone, while the reduction was 39.6% with 10 tonnes zeolite ha−1 + N @ 500 kg ha−1 compared to N alone, suggesting that the zeolite could control the release of N as compared to the sole application of N, which was supplied through urea. In addition, pot experiment was carried out with three levels of fertiliser rates, four levels of zeolite, and two levels of moisture in randomised complete block design with three replications to evaluate the changes in soil available nutrients and their uptake in tomato. …”

“…The studies indicate that this unfair policy, which contradicts the prevailing discourse of the legislative and executive branches, was more influenced by the ignorance of policymakers in the government, parliament, and Guardian Council than by the economic and political interests of various stakeholders. Additionally, the findings reveal that although the Majlis Research Center's role as a policy entrepreneur in this area was not successful during the approval phase, its efforts led to the amendment of the policy in the revised 1401 budget law, thereby restoring the rights of national and military employees and retirees. …”
