Fish Diversity Patterns in Rivers Receiving Ecological Water Supplement Driven by Riparian Land Use by LIU Han, LI Lu-dan, GUO Wei-jie, QIAO Qiang-long, GONG Dan-dan, DU Qi, LI Hang, ZHAO Wei-hua

“…Riparian land use types (built area, wetland, trees, crop, water, bare ground, and rangeland) within four buffer zones (0.5 km, 1 km, 2 km, 5 km) were extracted from ESRI’s global 10-m resolution land cover data. Statistical analyses included: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA) to test interannual differences; Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling (NMDS) to visualize community structure; Pearson correlation analysis to examine relationships among diversity indices; and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) models to quantify the driving effects of riparian land use on fish diversity. …”

Multimodal versus non-contrast computed tomography for assessment of acute ischaemic stroke: the PRACTISE RCT by Keith W Muir, Salwa El Tawil, Alex McConnachie, Alicia Murray, Ian Ford, Grant Mair, Joanna Wardlaw

“…Routine computed tomography (CT) brain scanning offers limited assistance: non-contrast CT (NCCT) has low sensitivity to acute ischaemia, changes usually not being visible for many hours after the onset of a stroke, and NCCT is used in practice mainly to exclude other causal pathologies such as intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) or other structural diseases. Additional imaging modalities can provide relevant physiological information including blood vessel anatomy (CT angiography, CTA) and brain perfusion (CT perfusion, CTP). …”

Specific inhibition of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 signaling by a DNA aptamer by Vladimira Zlinska, Zuzana Feketova, Aleksandra Czyrek, Julia Chudzian, Martina Lenarcic Zivkovic, Vlad-Constantin Ursachi, Pooja Dudeja, Bohumil Fafilek, Jan Rynes, Gustavo Rico-Llanos, Adolf Koudelka, Tanaya Roy, Martyna Biadun, Vendula Raskova, Katerina Svozilova, Michaela Stroblova, Mateusz Krzyscik, Kalina Hristova, Daniel Krowarsch, Silvie Foldynova-Trantirkova, Malgorzata Zakrzewska, Lukas Trantirek, Pavel Krejci

“…We show that the VZ23 inhibits FGFR1 signaling in the presence of cognate fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligands and its inhibitory activity is linked to its capacity to form unusual G-quadruplex structure. Our data suggest that targeting FGFR1 with DNA aptamers could be an effective alternative to TKIs for treating impaired FGFR1 signaling in human craniosynostoses.…”
