    Abstract The implementation of air pollution control measures could alter the compositions of submicron aerosols. Identifying the changes can evaluate the atmospheric responses of the implemented control measures and provide more scientific basis for the formulation of new measures. The Fen-Wei River Basin is the most air polluted region in China, and thereby is a key area for the reduction of emissions. Only limited studies determine the changes in the chemical compositions of submicron aerosols. In this study, Baoji was selected as a representative city in the Fen-Wei River Basin. The compositions of submicron aerosols were determined between 2014 and 2019. Organic fractions were determined through an online instrument (Quadrupole Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor, Q-ACSM) and source recognition was performed by the Multilinear Engine (ME-2). The Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) was also employed to evaluate the contributions of emissions reduction and meteorological conditions to the changes of submicron aerosol compositions. The results indicate that the mass concentrations of submicron aerosols have been substantially decreased after implementation of air pollution control measures. This was mainly attributed to the emission reductions of sulfur dioxide (SO

    Abstract Study region: Catchment area above the Huaxian station along the Wei River Basin, China. Study focus: This study attempts to construct a new Non-stationary Standardized Streamflow Index (NSSI) applicable to the variable streamflow sequence of the Wei River Basin based on the climate index and the optimal anthropogenic index, and analyse the drought characteristics of the basin. The climate index is used to quantify climate change factors and three anthropogenic indices are used to quantify the factor of human activities, including the reservoir index, the human-induced index calculated based on the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrological model and the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model machine learning approach, respectively. New hydrological insights for the region: The human-induced index based on the LSTM model is more suitable for quantifying anthropogenic factors in the Wei River Basin. The NSSI performs better than the SSI in drought identification. The NSSI based on the LSTM model can capture more frequent severe drought and extreme drought events. The frequency of severe drought and extreme drought is higher in summer and autumn than in the others. The NSSI can better characterize the hydrological drought processes under a non-stationary condition, thus it can provide a more effective reference for regional drought assessment and related policy-making from the perspective of a changing environment.

    Abstract Background: Tic disorders (TD) is a neuropsychiatric disease with twitch as the main manifestation in childhood. Jiu-Wei-Xi-Feng granules has been marketed in China for treating children with TD. As Long Gu (Os Draconis) in the composition of this Chinese patent medicine is a rare and expensive medicinal material protected by the Chinese government, therefore, we consider replacing it with Mu Li (Concha Ostreae) that has the same effect and is cheaper. This study is designed to evaluate the clinical equivalence between Jiu-Wei-Xi-Feng granules (Os Draconis replaced by Concha Ostreae) (JWXFD) and Jiu-Wei-Xi-Feng granules (original formula) (JWXFO) in children with TD (consumption of renal yin and liver wind stirring up internally syndrome).
    Methods/design: This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, equivalence trial comparing the efficacy and safety of JWXFD and JWXFO in treating Children with tic disorders (consumption of renal yin and liver wind stirring up internally syndrome). A total of 288 patients will be recruited and randomly assigned to two groups in a 1:1 ratio. The treatment course is 6 weeks, with a 2 weeks follow-up. The primary outcome is the mean change value from baseline to 6th week by the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale total tic score (YGTSS-TTS). Secondary outcomes include total effective rate of tic, Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) scores and its factor scores (the degree of motor tics, phonic tics and social function damage), Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale, and TCM syndrome efficacy.
    Discussion: The design of this study refers to a large number of similar research design points, and asked for opinions of peer experts, and finally reached a consensus. This trial will provide high-quality evidence on the clinical equivalence between JWXFD and JWXFO and provide a basis for the marketing of JWXFD.

    Abstract: ... precipitation deficits. A case study is conducted for the Wei River basin of the Loess Plateau, China ...

    Abstract Meteorological drought propagating to hydrological drought usually occurs with a noticeable time delay due to the catchment buffering effect. Knowledge gain in the delayed hydrological response is indispensable for developing timely drought monitoring systems. In this study, a two-stage statistical framework is proposed for identifying the response time of hydrological droughts to meteorological droughts at a weekly resolution. Candidate response time is initially selected by exclusively evaluating linear or nonlinear correlations between precipitation and streamflow anomalies. In the second stage, the optimal response time is determined, at which the greatest number of streamflow deficits can be monitored by concurrent precipitation deficits. A case study is conducted for the Wei River basin of the Loess Plateau, China to investigate the spatio-temporal variability in drought response time under a changing environment. Results indicate that hydrological droughts respond to meteorological droughts with time lags of 25–39 weeks, exhibiting noticeable spatial variability. The long-time hydrological response is expected where there are sufficient vegetation and loess deposits. Drought response time identification for each calendar month reveals the long-term and short-term hydrological response in winter and summer, respectively. A time-varying baseflow index is found to be positively related to the drought response time, therefore having control on its marked seasonality. In a changing environment, summer hydrological droughts tend to respond to precipitation variability at longer time scales, while decreasing response time is noticed in winter. A preliminary attribution analysis highlights that changes in meteorological drought severity and catchment water storage in combination exert control on the temporal variability in drought response time over the past half-century. Findings of the study may favor hydrological drought monitoring dependent on precipitation deficit information available at large spatial extent.

    Abstract Aim: We investigated the effects of Ba-Wei-Die-Huang-Wan (BWDHW) on ketamine-induced cystitis (KIC) in a rat model.
    Methods: Female Sprague-Dawley rats were distributed into three groups: control (saline), ketamine (25 mg/kg/day for 28 days), or ketamine (25 mg/kg/day for 28 days) plus BWDHW (90 mg/kg/day, started from day 14). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), metabolic cage study, and cystometry were evaluated. Bladder histology was evaluated. Western blots of the bladder proteins were carried out.
    Results: Compared with controls, ketamine-treated rats showed stronger fMRI intensity in the periaqueductal gray area and bladder overactivity in the bladder functional study, but the ketamine/BWDHW-treated rats did not. Furthermore, ketamine breached the uroplakin III membrane at the apical surface of the urothelium, enhanced substance P spread over the urothelium, induced suburothelial hemorrhage and monocyte/macrophage infiltration, and caused interstitial fibrosis deposition. By contrast, the BWDHW-treated rats exhibited less substance P spread, lower suburothelial monocyte/macrophage infiltration, and lower interstitial fibrosis deposition. The ketamine group showed significant overexpression of neuroreceptors in the bladder mucosa (the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 and M
    Conclusion: BWDHW could exert therapeutic effects by inhibiting the upregulation of neuroreceptors, modulating inflammatory mediators, suppressing fibrogenesis, and ameliorating bladder overactivity in rats with KIC.

    Abstract The implementation of air pollution control measures could alter the compositions of submicron aerosols. Identifying the changes can evaluate the atmospheric responses of the implemented control measures and provide more scientific basis for the formulation of new measures. The Fen-Wei River Basin is the most air polluted region in China, and thereby is a key area for the reduction of emissions. Only limited studies determine the changes in the chemical compositions of submicron aerosols. In this study, Baoji was selected as a representative city in the Fen-Wei River Basin. The compositions of submicron aerosols were determined between 2014 and 2019. Organic fractions were determined through an online instrument (Quadrupole Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor, Q-ACSM) and source recognition was performed by the Multilinear Engine (ME-2). The Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) was also employed to evaluate the contributions of emissions reduction and meteorological conditions to the changes of submicron aerosol compositions. The results indicate that the mass concentrations of submicron aerosols have been substantially decreased after implementation of air pollution control measures. This was mainly attributed to the emission reductions of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and primary organic aerosol (POA). In addition, the main components that drove the pollution episodes swapped from POA, sulfate, nitrate and less-oxidized organic (LO-OOA) in 2014 to nitrate and more-oxidized OOA (MO-OOA) in 2019. Due to the changes of chemical compositions of both precursors and secondary pollutants, the pollution control measures should be modernized to focus on the emissions of ammonia (NH₃), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) and volatile organic compounds (VOCₛ) in this region.

    Abstract Background and aim: Chinese traditional medical science is generally used as a therapeutic method against functional dyspepsia (FD) in China. Although great effort is made to understand the pharmaceutical mechanisms of Chinese traditional medicine, such as typical traditional Chinese medicine, Wei Kangning, there are still many mysteries to be uncovered.
    Methods: The model of FD was established by stimulating rats via tail damping and the rats were treated with traditional Chinese medicine, Wei Kangning. The proteins of the rat gastrointestinal tissues were extracted and run by 2-DE, then the differential proteins were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry and validated with Western blotting or fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction.
    Results: A total of 228 unique proteins in FD model rats were detected with significant changes in their expression levels corresponding with traditional Chinese medicine, Wei Kangning, administration. Twenty-eight of these proteins were identified, which are involved in many biological functions, such as organism antioxidant enzymes, energy metabolism, glutathione S-transferase, pi2, superoxide dismutase 2 and alpha-enolase and so on.
    Conclusions: These proteomic results presented therefore provide additional support to the hypothesis that glutathione S-transferase, pi2, superoxide dismutase 2, α-enolase and voltage-dependent anion channel are the targets of FD treated with traditional Chinese medicine, Wei Kangning.
