Identification of ages and determination of paeoniflorin in roots of Paeonia lactiflora Pall. From four producing areas based on growth rings

Growth rings were used to determine the root age of medicinal Paeonia lactiflora from four producing areas, and their corresponding paeoniflorin content were measured based on the identification of ages. Different P. lactiflora root samples of different ages were collected from the four major growing areas in China: Bozhou, Anhui Province; Pan'an, Zhejiang Province; Zhongjiang, Sichuan Province; and Heze, Shandong Province. The relationship between the number of growth rings and age was analyzed using hand sections and paraffin sections. The paeoniflorin content in the roots of different P. lactiflora cultivars from different growing areas was measured using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The growth rings in the P. lactiflora roots were consistent with the age of the plant from Heze, Zhongjiang, Pan'an, whereas that for the P. lactiflora from Bozhou was one less than the age of the plant. The HPLC results show that the paeoniflorin content was highest in P. lactiflora ‘Baihuachuanshaoyao,’ followed by ‘Baihuahangshaoyao,’ ‘Honghuachuanshaoyao,’ and ‘Honghuahangshaoyao,’ ‘Bozhoushaoyao’ had the lowest levels of paeoniflorin. With increasing age, the paeoniflorin in the roots of the different P.lactiflora cultivars slowly declined or remained the same. In summary, the age of the roots of P. lactiflora from different growing areas can be determined using growth rings. The paeoniflorin content in the roots of P. lactiflora is correlated with cultivar and it was slowly declined with increasing age. Microsc. Res.

北极涛动对华北沙尘暴频次的影响

This study has investigated the influence of Arctic Oscillation (AO) on dust storm frequency in North China in spring seasons during 1961-2007. There is a significant linkagebetween dust storm frequency and AO; a negative (positive) AO phase is related to an in-creased (decreased) dust storm frequency in North China. This relationship is closely related to changes in the cold air activity in Mongolia. The cold air activity exerts large impacts on the dust storm frequency; the frequency of cold air activity over Mongolia not only positively cor-relates with the dust storm frequency in North China, but also shows a long-term decreasing trend that is an important reason for the long-term decreasing of dust storm frequency in North China. The AO has large influence on the frequency of cold air activity over Mongolia; a negative (positive) AO phase is highly related to an increased (decreased) frequency of cold air activity over Mongolia, which results in an increased (decreased) dust storm frequency in North China.     

IL-33 and the Cytokine Storm in COVID-19: From a Potential Immunological Relationship towards Precision Medicine

Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has represented, and still represents, a real challenge from a clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. During acute infection, the increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in the pathology of disease and the development of SARS-CoV-2-induced acute respiratory disease syndrome, the life-threatening form of this infection, are correlated with patient survival and disease severity. IL-33, a key cytokine involved in both innate and adaptive immune responses in mucosal organs, can increase airway inflammation, mucus secretion and Th2 cytokine synthesis in the lungs, following respiratory infections. Similar to cases of exposure to known respiratory virus infections, exposure to SARS-CoV-2 induces the expression of IL-33, correlating with T-cell activation and lung disease severity. In this work, we analyse current evidence regarding the immunological role of IL-33 in patients affected by COVID-19, to evaluate not only the clinical impact correlated to its production but also to identify possible future immunological therapies that can block the most expressed inflammatory molecules, preventing worsening of the disease and saving patient lives.

基于小波的黄河上游天然年径流变化特性分析

为了研究黄河径流演变规律,用小波分析法对黄河青铜峡270多年(1724～1997)的年径流时间序列变化进行了多尺度分析,展示了在不同时间尺度下,黄河上游年径流丰、枯变化的过程。揭示了其年径流具有128年、64年和32年左右周期性变化,这3个主要周期的变化,主导着黄河上游天然年径流变化的特性。研究也表明,自1997年以来,黄河天然年径流变化的大趋势是处于接近或低于其多年平均水平,并会延续若干年。

投影寻踪法在径流还原计算中的应用研究

水资源评价是水资源的合理开发利用、水资源保护和水资源统一管理的基础。地表水是土壤水和地下水的主要补给来源,也是人类可以直接取用的水资源,因此对地表水资源进行评价非常重要,对地表水资源数量的评价是其中的重要组成部分。由于人类活动对天然河川径流量的影响,改变了河川径流系列的一致性,因此对径流量的一致性进行分析是进行地表水资源数量评价的首要任务。本文的基本思想是：针对降雨径流的非线性关系,引入处理高维数据的投影寻踪法,在产汇流理论的基础上,通过对降雨径流之间的多元非线性关系进行了分析,根据分析结果对非一致性的径流系列进行还原计算。
