Analyzing the mechanism of rhubarb in the treatment of cervical cancer based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology by Yingying Xu, Jian Wang, Guodong Chen

“…The active ingredients of rhubarb were identified using TCMSP and HERB databases, and active ingredient target prediction was performed using SEA and Swiss TargetPrediction; cervical cancer-related targets were collected through four databases, namely, OMIM, GeneCards, CTD, and GDA; common targets of drugs and diseases were obtained through Draw Venn diagram; STRING online platform was applied to build protein-protein interaction networks (PPI) and core targets and most important modules were screened by cytoscape 3.10.3; use DAVID and REACTOM databases to perform GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, and visualize the results; Finally, molecular docking of key active ingredients and targets was performed by PubChem database and Auto Dock software, and the results were visualized by PyMOL. 23 active ingredients and 106 common targets were obtained after screening. …”

Analysis of spatiotemporal changes and driving forces of ecological environment quality in Northwest China mining area by Liangyan Yang, Lei Shi, Juan Li, Hui Kong, Dongwen Hua

“…The results indicate: (1) From 2000 to 2021, the ecological environment quality in the Northwest China mining area showed an overall trend of initial increase followed by fluctuations. (2) The evolution of ecological environment quality in the study area was mainly influenced by human factors, affected by the implementation of ecological engineering from 2000 to 2005, and by mining area development from 2005 to 2021. (3) Mining area development has a negative impact on the ecological environment quality of the study area, but subsequent ecological restoration can mitigate the destructive effects of mining development on the ecology. (4) The explanatory power of NDSI (normalized differential soil index) for ecological environment quality is 0.826, and its influence is the most significant. The explanatory powers of WET and NDVI are 0.690 and 0.709 respectively, which play a key role in improving the quality of the ecological environment. …”
