    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI) in myocardial repair in septic rats.
    Methods: Thirty-six healthy male Wistar rats were randomly and equally divided into control groups, model group and intervention group. The model group and the intervention group were treated with ligation of cecum and perforation to build sepsis model, and the intervention group received intraperitoneal injection of GSI II (DAPT). Serum levels of Troponin T (cTnT), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and interleukin-17 were measured by ELISA. The Th17 cell percentage in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in CD4
    Results: The cTnT, CK-MB, Th17 and Th17/CD4
    Conclusion: γ secretase inhibitors have clearly protective effects on cardiomyocytes, and the mechanism may be associated with Notch blocking and RORγt expression, which inhibit immune damage induced by abnormal activation of Th17.

    Abstract Background: Septic myocardial injury is one of the most life-threatening organ dysfunction. The γ-secretase-based approaches have been developed as potential strategies for diverse diseases management. Unfortunately, the role of γ-secretase inhibitor in septic myocardial injury is unclarified. The present study aims to investigate the effect of γ-secretase inhibitor in septic myocardial injury and reveal its mechanism.
    Methods: The mouse model of septic myocardial injury was established by intraperitoneally injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and γ-secretase inhibitor MW167 was applied in this model. RNA-sequencing analysis and further bioinformatics analyses were used to screen differential expressed genes (DEGs) and potentially enriched pathways between LPS and LPS + MW167 mice. Pathological examination was performed using haematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. SD-1029 was used to block JAK2/STAT3 signaling in H9C2 cells and western blot analysis quantified JAK2/STAT3-related proteins.
    Results: LPS induced myocardial injury accompanied with significant inflammatory infiltration and more apoptotic cells. Transcriptome sequencing screened 36 DEGs and bioinformatics identified JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway was significantly enriched. Further in vitro experiments showed that γ-secretase inhibitor MW167 activated JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Additionally, MW167 restored cell viability, decreased myocardial injury markers including cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and reduced nitric oxide (NO), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) release. Application of SD-1029 reversely deteriorated LPS-induced myocardial injury and inflammatory response in γ-secretase inhibitor-treated myocardial cells.
    Conclusion: The results demonstrate that γ-secretase inhibitor alleviates septic myocardial injury via activating JAK2/STAT3 signaling, and provide novel therapeutic direction for septic myocardial injury.

    Abstract Objectives: This prospective study aimed to explore the effects of various doses of rosuvastatin on the hemodynamic changes, highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris.
    Methods: One-hundred and six elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris were enrolled and divided into group A (n=55) and group B (n=51). Under the same treatment for angina pectoris, patients in groups A and B were administered with 5 mg and 10 mg of rosuvastatin orally once every night, respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of hemorheology, coagulation indices and immune reaction (serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels), changes of clinical indices, electrocardiograph (ECG), therapeutic effect, and incidence of adverse reactions. Serum hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were detected by ELISA method, and their correlation was analyzed by Pearson method.
    Results: Whole blood viscosity at high cut (BVH), whole blood viscosity at low cut (BVL), plasma viscosity (PV), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), immunoglobulin index, and the hs-CRP and IL-6 levels decreased in both groups after treatment and were lower in group B than in group A (
    Conclusions: The optimal efficacy of rosuvastatin at 10 mg/day was higher than that of rosuvastatin at 5 mg/day.

    Abstract Net primary productivity (NPP) over global grasslands is crucial for understanding the terrestrial carbon cycling and for the assessments of wild herbivores food security. During the past few decades, numerous field investigations have been conducted to estimate grassland NPP since the measuring criterion released by the International Biological Program. However, a comprehensive NPP database, particularly for belowground NPP (BNPP), in global grasslands is rare to date. Here, field NPP measurements from 438 publications (1957–2018) in global grasslands were collected, critically filtered, and incorporated in a comprehensive global database with observations for aboveground NPP (ANPP), BNPP, total NPP (TNPP), and BNPP fraction (fBNPP). Associated information on geographical locations, climatic records, grassland types, land use patterns, manipulations subjected to manipulative experiments, sampling year of study sites, as well as NPP measurement methods are also documented. This database included 2985 entries from 1785 study sites. Among them, 806 entries contained paired data of ANPP and BNPP, resulting in the 806 fBNPP data. The study sites encompassed global grasslands with latitudinal range of 54.5° S~78.9° N, longitudinal range of 157.4° W~175.8° E, and altitudes from 0 to 5168 m above sea level, covering broad climatic gradients (−17.6 to 28.8°C in mean annual temperature and 63–2052 mm in mean annual precipitation). This global database is the world's largest paired data of ANPP and BNPP field measurements in grasslands. It can be used to study the spatio‐temporal patterns of NPP and its allocation, evaluate the responses of above‐ and below‐ground carbon components to future global changes, and validate the NPP estimation by empirical or process‐based models in global grasslands. The database can be freely used for noncommercial applications. We kindly request users cite this data paper when using the database, respecting all the hard work during data compilation.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in treating sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC).
    Methods: A retrospective controlled analysis was conducted on 230 patients with SIC at Ganzhou People's Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022. All patients were screened using propensity score matching and treated according to the SSC2016 guidelines. Compared to the control group (n = 115), patients in the test group (n = 115) received IVIg (200 mg/kg.d) for 3 consecutive days post-admission. The rating scales, coagulation function, survival, and treatment duration were evaluated.
    Results: On day 3 of treatment, both groups exhibited reduced PLT and TEG-MA levels, with the control group showing a more significant decrease (P < 0.05). By the 5th day, these levels had recovered in both groups. However, the test group experienced a significant increase by day 7 (P < 0.05). Coagulation factors II and X began to increase on day 3, and normalization was significantly faster in the test group on day 5 (P < 0.05). The levels of PT, INR, APTT, D-dimer, FIB, FDP, TEG-R, and TEG-K exhibited a notable decline on day 3 and demonstrated significantly faster recovery on day 5 in the test group (P < 0.05). Additionally, both groups showed a reduction in APACHE II, SOFA, DIC, and LAC levels on day 3, but the test group's scores decreased significantly more by day 7 (P < 0.05). Within the test group, WBC count, CRP, PCT, IL-6, and Tmax levels were lower (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the test group demonstrated shorter duration for ICU stay, mechanical ventilation, and CRRT (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in the duration of fever or vasoactive drug use between the groups. However, the log-rank method indicated a higher 28-day survival rate in the test group (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: IVIg can successfully increase platelet count and coagulation factors, correct coagulation disorders, enhance organ function, and reduce 28-day mortality in patients with SIC.

    Abstract In this study, g-C₃N₄ with a high portion of tri-s-triazine groups was synthesized to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light irradiation, termed as Vis/g-C₃N₄/PMS process, to degrade one frequently detected recalcitrant micropollutant carbamazepine (CBZ). The Vis/g-C₃N₄/PMS process increased pseudo first-order degradation rate constant of CBZ by 2 times compared with that in the absence of PMS. The enhanced CBZ degradation was because of the production of HO and SO₄– from the PMS activation, but not the enhanced charge separation of g-C₃N₄ due to the presence of PMS. The Vis/g-C₃N₄/PMS process is insensitive to dissolved oxygen, chloride and bicarbonate concentrations, effective over a wide pH range from 6.0 to 10.0, and less affected by high concentrations of natural organic matter compared with the UV/chlorine and UV/TiO₂ processes. In addition, photocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄ remains stable over 5-cycle of reuse. These features make the process practically relevant and implementable in degrading micropollutants in drinking water, treated wastewater, surface water, groundwater, etc., using more efficient visible light LEDs or even sunlight.

    Abstract Quantum spin Hall effect is characterized by topologically protected helical edge states. Here we study the thermal dissipation of helical edge states by considering two types of dissipation sources. The results show that the helical edge states are dissipationless for normal dissipation sources with or without Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the system, but they are dissipative for spin dissipation sources. Further studies on the energy distribution show that electrons with spin-up and spin-down are both in their own equilibrium without dissipation sources. Spin dissipation sources can couple the two subsystems together to induce voltage drop and non-equilibrium distribution, leading to thermal dissipation, while normal dissipation sources cannot. With the increase of thermal dissipation, the subsystems of electrons with spin-up and spin-down evolve from non-equilibrium finally to mutual equilibrium. In addition, the effects of disorder on thermal dissipation are also discussed. Our work provides clues to reduce thermal dissipation in the quantum spin Hall systems.
