A Comprehensive Study of Type I (Thermonuclear) Bursts in the New Transient SRGA J144459.2–604207 by Tao Fu, Zhaosheng Li, Yuanyue Pan, Long Ji, Yupeng Chen, Lucien Kuiper, Duncan K. Galloway, Maurizio Falanga, Renxin Xu, Xiaobo Li, Mingyu Ge, L. M. Song, Shu Zhang, Shuang-Nan Zhang

“…We estimate the average hydrogen mass fraction in the fuel at ignition, as $\overline{X}=0.342\pm 0.033$ , and constrain the burst fuel composition as X _0  ≲ 0.4. We found that 14 out of 60 X-ray bursts exhibited photospheric expansion, and thus we estimated the distance to the source as 10.03 ± 0.71 kpc. …”

New Parameters for Impedance–pH Monitoring in Diagnosing Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Predicting its Severity by O. A. Storonova, A. S. Trukhmanov, A. A. Makushina, A. V. Paraskevova, V. T. Ivashkin

“…The present articleidentifies possible correlations between new parameters for impedance–pH monitoring, such as mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI); post-reflux swallow-induced peristaltic wave index (PSPW); and the main parameter, acid exposure time (AET), as well as esophageal motor function. The authors set out to assess the values of MNBI and the PSPW index as additional criteria improving the diagnostic efficacy of impedance-pH monitoring, the completeness of clinical phenotyping of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as determining the probability of a more severe disease course. …”

“Restoration of the Past Scenery-Realm”: A Research on the Scenery-Realm Restoration of Jiang’s Fu Garden During Qing Dynasty in the Historical Revolution of the Humble Administrat... by Qian BIAN

“…In terms of realm experience, the research analyzes the generation of typical comprehensive experience and emotional activities in the garden from the perspectives of “Dong You Jian Jing Can” (roaming in motion and meditation in stillness) and “Ya Ji Yu Yuan Ju” (elegant gathering and garden dwelling), pointing out that the former, in short-term composite perceptions, is more likely to form differentiated results due to changes in mood, season, and combinations of dynamic and static appreciation, while the latter, through long-term interactive attachment and more nuanced examinations over time, can make the emotional sustenance of guests in the garden more genuine and varied. 2) In response to the question of what qualified the garden as a restoration of the past scenery-realm, the focus is on the “Yuanxiang Hall” area as a clue to explore the value orientation of the Fu Garden’s restoration. …”

Efficacy of Alginate-Antacid Medication in the Treatment of Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease by O. A. Storonova, A. S. Trukhmanov, V. T. Ivashkin

“…We assess the dynamics of inflammatory process in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) treated with alginate-antacid medication used at conventional dosage, both as a monotherapy and as part of a GERD combination therapy. To this end, we set out to confirm the formation of the layer of unbuffered acidic gastric juice over the gastric chyme after eating, as well as to determine the acidneutralizing effect of alginate-antacid medication upon its interaction with the acidic contents of the stomach.Materials and methods. 36 case records of GERD patients were analyzed (20 women and 16 men, mean age 47.03 years old). …”
