Novel risk loci encompassing genes influencing STAT3, GPCR, and oxidative stress signaling are associated with co-morbid GERD and COPD. by Ava C Wilson, Alison Rocco, Joe Chiles, Vinodh Srinivasasainagendra, Wassim Labaki, Deborah Meyers, Bertha Hidalgo, Marguerite R Irvin, Surya P Bhatt, Hemant Tiwari, Merry-Lynn McDonald

“…We performed the first whole-genome sequence association analysis of comorbid GERD and COPD in 12,438 multi-ancestry participants. The co-heritability of GERD and COPD was 39.7% (h2 = 0.397, SE = 0.074) and we identified several ancestry-independent loci associated with co-morbid GERD and COPD (within LINC02493 and FRYL) known to be involved in oxidative stress and G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling mechanisms. …”

Geological characteristics and development effect evaluation of coalbed methane reservoirs in Panguan syncline, Guizhou Province by Haiyang HU, Fuqin YANG, Jie CHEN, Yi LOU, Yuting WAN

“…Based on the geological characteristics of coal reservoirs in the Panguan syncline and CBM well engineering data, the study analyzed geological, fracturing, and drainage and production parameters, and summarized development technologies for low-permeability and multi-seam CBM reservoirs. Engineering practices in Panguan syncline show that: (1) For commingled development of coal seams 12# and 18# in the syncline, factors such as permeability, reservoir temperature, fracture pressure, liquid and sand addition per meter of coal seam, pressure drop rate, and production enhancement rate significantly influence gas production of CBM wells. (2) Increasing the liquid and sand addition per meter of coal seam can significantly increase the reservoir permeability after fracturing. …”
