Serum 8-OHdG levels correlate with endothelial dysfunction and carotid intima-media thickness in hemodialysis patients by YIN Xiao-wen, HAO Yu-jie, PEI Hua-ying, DONG Yan-fei, TIAN Li-ming, WANG Yun-hong

“…Objective To determine the serum levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine(8-OHdG)、endothelin-1(ET-1)、 endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) and measuring carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT) in hemodialysis(HD) patients.Explore the relationshipbetween oxidative stress in endothelial dysfunction,atherosclerosis.Methods Fifty-two non-diabeticpatientstreated by hemodialysis for more than three months in the people’s Hospital of Oiarfan City Hebei provincefrom 2014.10 to2015.4,and forty-five healthy control group were included in the study.Serum 8-OHdG and ET-1 levels were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and radioimmunoassay respectively.The eNOS activities were measured by nitrate reductase assay.Carotid intimal-medial thickness(CIMT)was assessed by quantitative carotid artery ultrasonography.Results CIMT were significantly higher in HD patients compared with control group as[(l.31 ±0.29) mm 比(0.82 ± 0.21) mm,P<0.01].The incidence of atherosclerosis in HD patients was 78.85%.Serumlevels of 8-OHdG and ET-1 were increased in HD patientscompared with control group as[(38.30 + 9.34) ng/ml 比(7.24 + 0.87) ng/ml,P<0.01)].[(138.35 ±31.12) pg/ml 比(16.40 ± 1.21) pg/ml,P<0.01].The eNOS activities were significantly lower in HD patients compared with control group as[(12.67 ± 1.66) U/ml ft(14.05 ± 1.56) U/mh,P<0.01].Linear regression analysis showed that the levels of serum 8-OHdG had a significant positive correlation with serum ET-1 and CIMT(P<0.01),but a negative correlation with serum eNOS and Kt/V(P<0.01).In addition,the levels of serum 8-OHdG had significant positive correlations with dialysis duration,high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and blood pressure(P<0.01).Conclusions The endothelial dysfunction in HD patients was significant and it was positive correlation with the oxidative stress.The oxidative stress was involved in the occurrence of endothelial dysfunction in HD patients.The levels of serum 8-OHdG could serve as an independently risk factors for atherosclerosis in HD patients.…”

Dynamic Monitoring Method for Aboveground Biomass of Maize Based on Multi-source Data by Liu Menghua, Zhou Guangsheng, Zhou Huailin

“…Based on data from maize staged sowing experiments conducted from 2020 to 2024, observations from 2020 to 2021 are utilized for model construction, while data from 2022 to 2024 are employed for model application. 3 modeling approaches, including multiple linear regression, partial least squares regression, and random forest are used to develop models for aboveground biomass at different growth stages, and models are compared by adopting a strategy combining vegetation indices with meteorological factors. …”

Developing a data‐transfer model for a novel Wildlife‐tracking network by Melanie J. Davis, Sravan Thokala, Xinyu Xing, N. Thompson Hobbs, Daniel P. Walsh, Richard Y. Han, Shivakaht Mishra

“…Contrastingly, under conditions of low transmission strength and high obstruction, data transfer was noisier, and was best represented by a linear model. Obstruction resulting from the placement of the collar in relation to the subject's body adversely affected the communication abilities of our system, with bighorn sheep lowering baseline data‐transfer success to <50% at low transmission strengths. …”
