S100 calcium-binding protein A8 exacerbates deep vein thrombosis in vascular endothelial cells by Junyu Chi, Qitao Wang, Zhen Wang, Wenjie Zeng, Yangyang Gao, Xin Li, Wanpeng Wang, Jiali Wang, Ming Qu

“…Abstract Previous studies highlighting the pivotal function of the S100A8 protein have shown that inflammation and vascular endothelial harm play a major role in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) development, as evidenced by earlier studies highlighting the pivotal function of the S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8). Therefore, we aimed to establish a connection between S100A8 and DVT and investigate the role of S100A8 in DVT development. …”

Quantifying the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Radiation Belt Electrons Scattered by Lower Band Chorus Waves: An Integrated Model by Weixin Chen, Song Fu, Xin Ma, Binbin Ni, Deyu Guo, Qiongyue Zhang, Xiangyuan Tong, Yibo Zhao, Xing Cao, Zheng Xiang, Yuan Lei

“…Incorporating the effect of radiation electron drift, we further use the 2‐D Fokker‐Planck equation to simulate the variations of electron phase space density in different MLT sectors at a fixed L, and find that the integrated model replicates reasonably the multi‐MeV electron acceleration at L = 4.5 during the period from the main phase to the early recovery phase of the storm. …”

Interference from IMT system to mobile satellite system in 1 518～1 525 MHz band by Rui HAN, Xiaoyan ZHANG, Chang LIU, Guan WANG

“…In order to analyze the feasibility of deploying mobile satellite system below 1 518～1 525 MHz band，the interference from the IMT system in 1 492～1 518 MHz band to the mobile satellite system in 1 518～1 525 MHz band was studied in detail via theoretical analysis and simulations based on the combing of the ITU recommendations and radio regulation.Aiming at the interference link from IMT base station to the terminal of mobile satellite system in different scenarios，the Monte Carlo simulation method was used to calculate the blocking and the adjacent channel interference.The interference blocking probability and the coexisting conditions between the two systems in adjacent band were given in the simulation results.The conclusion can be used to support the planning of adjacent band by national radio management department.…”
