Abstract	This article reports on soil samples collected from Hsiang-Shan wetland, Taiwan. Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) was applied to identify an existing habitat type's scheme by identifying the physico-chemical properties of sediment in Hsiang-Shan wetland. The three constructed discriminant functions (CDFs) showed a marked contribution by most of the discriminant variables, and the recognition capacities in these three CDFs were 49.5, 32.8 and 17.7%. Our study revealed that the most important latent factors in Hsiang-Shan wetland are soil texture-caused factor, ocean current-caused factor, nutrient-caused factor, and the redox reaction-caused factor. And the most sensitivity parameters in this habitat followed the descending order: OBD, EC, Eh, sand, TN, porosity, STP, silt, VCP and pH. And the inhabited sediment properties for U. formosensis in terms of soil texture are sand, silt, and clay (34.05, 29.72, and 32.35%, respectively): that is clay loam soil. We also found that U. formosensis preferred to inhabit the upper intertidal zone, spending 8.41% of the time submerged. Vegetation coverage on the ground was less than 2.20%, showing that it preferred to live in a bare intertidal habitat. Concerning nest choosing, excavating burrows is more difficult when a high soil penetration force is required, and in this study the soil penetration force for 20 cm was found to be is 45.98 N/cm(2). The results will be helpful in developing a methodology for use by the government in refining its management programs.

Abstract	Matrine, a pure compound isolated from the Chinese herb Shan-don-Gen (Sophora subprostrata), was studied for its effects on the cardiovascular system of the rat. Intravenous injections of matrine at doses from 5 mg to 20 mg/kg body weight exhibited dose-dependent hypotensive and bradycardiac effects. These effects lasted only 1 to 3 min. In the isolated atria and ventricle preparations, matrine at doses from 50 micrograms to 200 micrograms/ml increased the amplitudes of spontaneous contraction of the atria and electrically induced contraction of the ventricle, whereas the frequency of the spontaneous beating of the atria was reduced. The dose-dependent effects of matrine on the isolated preparations persisted as long as the compound was present. Tachyphylaxis was not observed with repeated applications of this compound to the isolated preparations. The positive inotropic effects on both atria and ventricle and the negative chronotropic effect on spontaneous beating of the atria by matrine were not blocked by diphenhydramine, atropine, phenoxybenzamine, propranolol, trifluoperazine, or methysergide. In contrast, verapamil significantly reduced the positive inotropic effect of matrine on the ventricle. In the isolated aortic strip preparation, matrine at a dose of 200 micrograms/ml led to a slight increase in muscle tone. The same dose of matrine induced a 35% increase of perfusion pressure in the hindleg perfusion model. These results suggest that the in vivo transient hypotensive effect of matrine is likely associated with a decrease in heart rate itself, since positive inotropic effects on both the atria and the ventricle, and vasoconstriction of some vascular beds could not be the cause of hypotension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract	In the contemporary state of accelerated urbanization in China, urban expansion has become the mainstream trend of urban development. However, in the context of urban expansion, whether coordinated development between urban expansion and urban vitality is achieved is an important concern facing the current urban expansion process. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) urban agglomeration is a hotspot of rapid economic development in China, and it is essential to examine the coupling relationship between the region's urban dynamics and urban expansion to promote rational urban development. This study analyzes the dynamics and evolutionary characteristics of urban expansion based on multisource nighttime light data, employing an UERI and other methods. We apply the entropy method and coupling coordination model to evaluate urban vitality and conduct a coupling analysis of urban expansion and urban vitality from 1992 to 2021. The results show that during the study period, the urban built-up area of the PRD urban agglomeration increased by 61,131.59 km

Abstract	Research objective: To explore the spatial correlation network characteristics and formation mechanisms of tourism resource conversion efficiency, and provide reference for the collaborative improvement of tourism resource conversion efficiency at the provincial level in China. Research methods: Non parametric SBM efficiency measurement method and social network analysis method. Research hypothesis: The spatial network correlation characteristics of tourism resource conversion efficiency are obvious, and regional connections are close. Research findings: (i) during the research period, the spatial connection strength of China's tourism resource conversion efficiency continued to increase and the spatial network structure of tourism resource conversion efficiency tended to become more complex and significantly more stable. (ii) A spatially linked network with a stable tourism resource conversion efficiency structure formed in China. The number of network relations and density of the network fluctuated and increased, while the network efficiency continued to decrease; however, a strong small-world nature was observed. (iii) The economic development level difference matrix, tourism industry agglomeration difference matrix, human capital difference matrix, and marketization degree difference matrix significantly and positively affected spatial association relationship establishment, while the provincial adjacency matrix significantly and negatively affected such relationships.

Abstract	Objective: Spinal cord cavernous malformation (SCCM) is a rare vascular lesion, and the treatment strategy remains controversial at present. The goal of this retrospective study was to analyze the surgical outcomes of the SCCM and to find more appropriate treatment strategies for a better prognosis. Method: A retrospective review of 98 patients with SCCM from 2009 to 2018 was conducted at the neurosurgical center of our hospital. Neurological function was assessed using the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale. Clinical features were analyzed using the multivariable logistic regression. Results: Ninety-eight patients with SCCM were included, of whom 36% were female and 64% male. The mean age was 41.6 years; and family history was reported in 8% of patients. Definite hemorrhage was found in 6%. Before surgery, the neurological status was Grade A in 2%, Grade B in 2%, Grade C in 12%, Grade D in 54%, and Grade E in 30% of the patients. 83% (81/98) patients had long-term follow-up, of whom, 42% had improved, 51% were stable and 7% had deteriorated. Patients with dorsal or superficial lesions showed better improvement than those with ventral or lateral deep lesions. Those with symptoms lasting less than three months had higher rates of improvement than those with symptoms lasting more than three months. However, there was no significant difference in prognosis between hemilaminectomy and laminectomy. Conclusion: These results suggest that surgical strategies should be preferred for severe symptomatic SCCMs if total resection can be achieved, thereby avoiding the risk of severe complications with subsequent lesion hemorrhage. Earlier (usually within 3 months of symptom duration) surgical resection generally may lead to a better prognosis. For ventral or lateral deep SCCMs, the surgical strategy should be considered more carefully.

Abstract	The tourism industry in China presents uneven tourism efficiency but deepening spatial associations; thus, tourism resources must be more rationally allocated. In this study, the highly efficient SBM model was used to measure the tourism environmental efficiency of 31 provinces in China. A spatial correlation network is then constructed based on the gravity model, and the structural characteristics and influencing factors of the network are analyzed. The results show that (1) the overall tourism environmental efficiency in China presents a fluctuating growth trend, with significantly higher values observed in the eastern region than in the central and western regions; moreover, the growth in efficiency in the eastern region has been relatively stable in recent years, that in the central region has increased, while that in the western region has significantly declined. (2) A spatially linked network with a stable tourism environmental efficiency structure has been formed in China. The number of network relations and density of the network fluctuate and increase, while the network efficiency continues to decrease; however, a strong small-world nature is observed. (3) An obvious network core-edge structure is observed, with Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu at the center showing a significant intermediary role and remote provinces such as Tibet, Xinjiang, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia at the edge showing fewer connections. (4) The four major plates of China based on the CONCOR algorithm are sparsely connected internally and show strong inter-plate connections and spillover effects. (5) The industry support capacity difference matrix, technological development level difference matrix, transportation accessibility difference matrix, and environmental regulation level difference matrix significantly and positively affect spatial associations, while the geographical distance matrix significantly and negatively affect spatial association relationship establishment. These findings have important theoretical and practical significance for the sustainable development of tourism in China's provinces and cities.
