Land water availability altered by historical land use and land cover change by Tao Tang, Jun Ge, Junji Cao, Haiyun Shi

“…Here we show that historical LULCC caused an insignificant reduction in global P–ET, mainly in wet regions. Locally, P–ET tends to decrease (increase) in deforestation (reforestation) regions mainly due to the dominant role of precipitation. …”

Pathogenic effects of plasma thiols in patients with psoriasis on background of arterial hypertension by G. I. Makurina

“…During examination the patients with combined pathology of psoriasis and essential hypertension in the progressive phase of the disease revealed significant changes in glutathione systems and free-radical oxidation, characterized by a significantly decrease in the content of reduced glutathione (16,5±0,48 mmol/l) and increased content of oxidized glutathione (3,23±0,06 mol/l), while reducing the activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (24,21±1,44 conventional units /mg protein/min) and reduction ratio of the recovered / oxidized glutathione to 5,1±0,26 conventional units. …”

Effect of dialysate glucose on synthesis of serum hepcidin in patients on maintenance hemodialysis by Hua Rui-xue, Zou Lu-xi, Wu Yu, Sun Ling

“…ObjectiveAs an important regulator of iron homeostasis，hepcidin participates in the pathophysiology of anemia and cardiovascular events in maintenance hemodialysis （MHD） patients.This study was designed to compare the effect of glucose-free versus glucose-containing dialysate on the synthesis of hepcidin-25 during hemodialysis （HD） and elucidate its potential mechanism in MHD patients.MethodsIn a self-before and after control study of 31 stable MHD non-diabetics，serum hepcidin-25 and plasma catecholamines （adrenaline，noradrenaline &amp; dopamine） were measured at pre-dialysis，intra-dialysis （120th min of HD） and post-dialysis using glucose-free dialysate and then switched to 5.5 mmol/L glucose-containing dialysate.One-way analysis of variance was utilized for identifying the effect of two dialysates on intra-dialysis%changes of serum hepcidin-25 and plasma catecholamines.Pearson/Spearman’s correlation coefficients were utilized for examining the relationships between serum hepcidin-25 and plasma catecholamines.ResultsGlucose-free dialysate achieved a greater reduction of serum hepcidin-25 than 5.5 mmol/L glucose-containing dialysate during a single HD ［（-8.45±18.46）% <italic>vs</italic> （0.37±17.24）%，<italic>P</italic>=0.0308］.Serum level of hepcidin-25 was positively associated with plasma levels of catecholamines at pre-，intra- and post-HD （<italic>r</italic>=0.34，0.25，0.62，<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.ConclusionGlucose-containing dialysate may up-regulate hepcidin synthesis and/or secretion via an activation of sympathetic nervous system or oxidative stress，possibly due to elevated catecholamines.Adequately designed studies are still required for elucidating the mechanisms of dialysate glucose on hepcidin kinetics during HD.…”

Impact of Defects on the Low-Field Electron Mobility in GaN-on-Si HEMTs by Ran Zhou, D. J. Gravesteijn, R. J. E. Hueting

“…This suggests that the relatively high dislocation density in the GaN layer, which is a consequence of the still imperfect buffer layer in the GaN-on-Si substrate that is used to accommodate the strain difference, has an impact on <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$N_{\textrm {it}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, thus subthreshold swing, in addition to the mobility reduction.…”

“…Considering the irradiation-induced microstructure, a modified thermal creep rate model is proposed, and the thermal creep rate and creep strain of irradiated ODS steel are predicted at different temperatures. The results show that the thermal creep rate reaches 3 × 10−5 s−1 at the temperature of 500 °C and stress of 200 MPa, while the thermal creep strain does not exceed 3 % at the temperature of 800 °C. …”
