Abstract	As a large-scale afforestation initiative, the Grain for Green (GFG) program was implemented for more than decade in the hilly Loess Plateau of Northern Shaanxi starting in 1999 and inevitably affected plant biomass production. This study evaluated the trend and magnitude of gross primary production (GPP) changes with VPM in the study area over 2000–2012 and quantitatively identified GFG’s contribution. The results indicate that the regional mean GPP was 529.6 to 854.7 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹, which significantly increased by 1.63% per year during the period. At the pixel level, 80% of the pixels presented an increasing trend in annual GPP, and in nearly half of the region, the increasing trend was statistically significant. Spatial analyses showed that the GPP increased more significantly in the gully areas of the middle north area, while no evident change trend was observed in the southern forestland areas. Statistical data from relevant yearbooks and interpreted data from high-resolution images show that the GFG program promoted vegetation restoration. Taking the increased area of forestland to indicate the achievements of GFG, we estimated, using regression analyses, that the afforestation contributed 40%–60% to the increased GPP in the region during 2000–2012. Overall, the ecosystem had a positive response to the Grain for Green (GFG) program in Northern Shaanxi.

Abstract	Clarifying the response of soil microbial communities to vegetation restoration is essential to comprehend biogeochemical processes and ensure the long-term viability of forest development. To assess the variations in soil microbial communities throughout the growth of Pinus armandii plantations in the karst region, we utilized the "space instead of time" approach and selected four P. armandii stands with ages ranging from 10 to 47 years, along with a grassland control. The microbial community structure was determined by conducting Illumina sequencing of the 16 S rRNA gene and the ITS gene, respectively. The results demonstrated that afforestation with P. armandii significantly influenced soil microbial communities, as indicated by notable differences in bacterial and fungal composition and diversity between the plantations and the control. However, soil microbe diversity did not display significant variation across stand ages. Moreover, the bacterial community exhibited higher responsiveness to age gradients compared to the fungal community. Soil physicochemical factors play a critical role in elucidating microbial diversity and community composition variations during restoration processes. TN, AN, TP, AP, SOC, AK, and pH were the most significant influencing factors for the composition of bacterial community, while TC, SOC, pH, and TC

Abstract	Global historical land use datasets have been widely used in global or regional environmental change studies. Historical pasture data are essential components of these spatially explicit global datasets, and their uncertainties have not been well evaluated. Using the livestock-based historical pasture dataset for the Tibetan Plateau (TP), we evaluated the uncertainties of these representative global historical land use datasets in pasture reconstruction for the TP over the past 300 years in terms of pasture area estimation and spatial pattern mapping. We found that only the Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE) dataset can roughly reflect the temporal and spatial characteristics of historical pasture changes on the TP. The History Database of the Global Environment (HYDE) version 3.2 and the Pongratz Julia (PJ) datasets overestimated pasture area for the TP dramatically, with a maximum area ratio of about 221% and 291%, respectively, and the Kaplan and Krumhardt 2010 (KK10) dataset underestimated pasture area for the TP dramatically, with a minimum area ratio of only 9%. As for the spatial pattern, all these global datasets overestimated the spatial scope of grazing activities obviously. The KK10 dataset unreasonably allocated pasture to forest areas in southeastern Tibet because only climate and soil factors were considered in assessing land suitability for grazing. Using population to estimate pasture area and only using natural factors to allocate pasture area into grids is unsuitable for the TP historical pasture reconstruction. In the future, more information directly related to grazing activities, e.g., the number of livestock and its spatial distribution, and social-cultural factors, including technology and diet, should be used for area estimation and spatial pattern mapping to improve the accuracy of pasture data in these global datasets.

Abstract	Background: While acupuncture treatment has gained extensive usage in addressing headaches, there remains a notable gap in the literature analysis for this field. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a literature review using Citespace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix, aiming to examine the current status, strengths, and potential future directions in the utilization of acupuncture for headache treatment. Methods: Relevant literature on acupuncture treatment for headaches between 2003 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) core database. Utilizing CiteSpace 6.1.R6, VOSviewer 1.6.18, and Bibliometrix 4.1.4, we conducted bibliometric analyses across various categories, including countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords. Results: A total of 808 research reports were included. China and the United States have significantly contributed to this field. Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine holds the record for the highest number of published papers. Liu Lu has the highest publication output, while Linde K has the highest citation rate. Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment for headaches has established a stable trend with a promising developmental trajectory. Research in this field mainly focuses on different acupuncture prevention and treatment for various types of headaches, the safety and efficacy of acupuncture, etc. Research on the mechanism of action mainly focuses on interpreting bidirectional and holistic regulation between pain and emotion by acupuncture and the regulation of brain function connection and neuroimaging technology by acupuncture. Future research should expand on the advantages and indications of acupuncture treatment for different headaches and their modern mechanisms.

Abstract	Objective: To determine the role of replication factor C subunit 5 (RFC5) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from four aspects: expression, prognosis, biological functions, and its effects on the immune system. Methods: The RFC5 gene expression and survival analyses, biological function analyses including functional enrichment analysis of genes co-expressed with RFC5, RFC5-interacted gene network construction, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), and immune infiltration analysis were performed using data based on GDC TCGA and GEO. The CIBERSORT algorithm was employed to quantify immune cell fractions. All the statistical analyses were performed in SPSS software, GraphPad Prism, and R software. Results: RFC5 expression was abnormally expressed in AML ( Conclusions: RFC5 might serve as an effective and robust biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of AML. RFC5 might be involved in the AML progression via cell cycle regulation. Moreover, the correlation between RFC5 and immune cells might provide potential assistance for AML treatment.

Abstract	Stroke, the leading cause of long-term disability worldwide, is caused by the blockage or hemorage of cerebral arteries. The resultant cerebral ischemia causes local neuronal death and brain injury. Histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) has been reported to be elevated in ischemic brain injury, but its mechanism in stroke is still enigmatic. The present study aimed to unveil the manner of regulation of HDAC9 expression and the effect of HDAC9 activation on neuronal function in cerebral ischemia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) targeting HDAC9 were predicted utilizing bioinformatics analysis. We then constructed the oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) cell model and the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rat model, and elucidated the expression of CCCTC binding factor (CTCF)/miR-383-5p/HDAC9. Targeting between miR-383-5p and HDAC9 was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNAi. After conducting an overexpression/knockdown assay, we assessed neuronal impairment and brain injury. We found that CTCF inhibited miR-383-5p expression via its enrichment in the promoter region of miR-383-5p, whereas the miR-383-5p targeted and inhibited HDAC9 expression. In the OGD model and the MCAO model, we confirmed that elevation of HDAC9 regulated by the CTCF/miR-383-5p/HDAC9 pathway mediated apoptosis induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress, while reduction of HDAC9 alleviated apoptosis and the symptoms of cerebral infarction in MCAO rats. Thus, the CTCF/miR-383-5p/HDAC9 pathway may present a target for drug development against ischemic brain injury.

Abstract	Cadmium (Cd) toxicity induce various disturbances in metabolic processes and impair plant establishment. The composition of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) and free amino acids (FAAs) can reflect the response of plants to environmental stress. In the present study, a solution culture experiment was carried out, and the secretion characteristics of FAAs as well as δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N were evaluated as indicative of the functional performance of two castor species (Zibo-3 and Zibo-9) under various Cd concentrations stress (0, 1, 2, and 5 mg L⁻¹). The results indicated that: 1) The treatment of the plants with 5 mg L⁻¹ of a Cd solution resulted in a significant decline of biomasses by 22.4% and 11.6% in Zibo-3 and Zibo-9, respectively, relative to controls; additionally, the accumulation levels for Cd in Zibo-9 were higher than those in Zibo-3, thus Zibo-9 showed higher tolerance and enrichment ability to Cd. 2) The exposure of castor to Cd treatments results in significant modifications in individual FAAs, suggesting a differential sensitivity of each biosynthetic pathway to this stress; however, a positive correlation was found between the accumulation of total FAAs and Cd treatment dosages; higher proportion of asparagine and glutamate in total amino acids for Zibo-9, and abundant secretion of arginine in Cd treated Zibo-9 may be associated with the higher Cd-tolerance and Cd-accumulation in Zibo-9. 3) Cd stress increased leaf δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values regardless of the castor species; δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N could be used as monitoring tools for heavy metal stress in plants.

Abstract	COVID-19 has caused huge impacts on human health and the economic operation of the world. Analyzing and summarizing the early propagation law can help reduce the losses caused by public health emergencies in the future. Early data on the spread of COVID-19 in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) of mainland China except for Hubei, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan were selected in this study. Spatio-temporal analysis, inflection point analysis, and correlation analysis are used to explore the spatio-temporal characteristics in the early COVID-19 spread. The results suggested that (1) the total confirmed cases have risen in an “S”-shaped curve over time, and the daily new cases have first increased and finally decreased; (2) the spatial distributions of both total and daily new cases show a trend of more in the east and less in the west, with a “multi-center agglomeration distribution” around Hubei Province and some major cities; (3) the spatial agglomeration of total confirmed cases has been increasing over time, while that of the daily new cases shows much more obvious in the mid-stage; and (4) timely release of the first-level public health emergency response can accelerate the emergence of the epidemic inflection point. The above analysis results have a specific reference value for the government’s policy-making and measures to face public health emergencies.
