Clinical and immunological characteristics of post-COVID syndrome by E. V. Zhdanova, E. V. Rubtsova, E. G. Kostolomova

“…A high level and imbalance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines without laboratory signs of inflammation underlie the development of clinical manifestations at early stages of post-COVID syndrome (up to 3 months). The clinical presentation was characterized by symptoms of asthenia and functional disorders in the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems and gastrointestinal tract. …”

Study on Urban System Relationships and Resilience Promotion Strategies in Underdeveloped Mountainous Areas Based on Social Network Analysis: A Case Study of Qiandongnan Miao and D... by Huayan Yuan, Jinyu Fan, Jie Luo, Rui Ren, Hai Li

“…The results show that the urban cluster in Qiandongnan presents “large dispersion and small aggregation” distribution characteristics, with the karst landscape as the main influencing factor; the spatial network exhibits a scale-free morphology with an obvious core–periphery structure, demonstrating moderate stability but poor completeness, weak equilibrium, and low overall resilience; only 15.61% of nodes demonstrate high competitiveness; urban units with functional roles serve as critical network nodes; urban units’ development potential is divided into three tiers (with 47.31% being medium-high), although overall levels remain low; and the development potential, overall network, individual network, and network resilience of urban units are all positively correlated, with economic and transportation development conditions being the main influencing factors. …”

Pyruvate decarboxylase and thiamine biosynthetic genes are regulated differently by Pdc2 in S. cerevisiae and C. glabrata. by Christine L Iosue, Julia M Ugras, Yakendra Bajgain, Cory A Dottor, Peyton L Stauffer, Rachael A Hopkins, Emma C Lang, Dennis D Wykoff

“…C. glabrata lacks Thi2, and it is likely that inclusion of Thi2 into transcriptional regulation in S. cerevisiae allows for a more complex regulation pattern and regulation of THI and PDC genes. We present evidence that Pdc2 functions independent of Thi2 and Thi3 in both species. …”
