Dynamic Characterization of Microscopic Pore Structure in Medium–High Permeability Sandstones During Waterflooding by Jiayi Wu, Wenbo Gong, Qingyu Wang, Yuhang He, Junhui Guo, Yi Bao, Shuai Shao, Rubin Li

“…Understanding the microscopic characteristics and evolutionary patterns of pore structures during high-PV waterflooding is critical for improving the accuracy and efficiency of oil field development. While previous studies have primarily emphasized the geometric and morphological features of overall pore structures, they often overlook local pore-scale properties and their relationship with fluid transport capacity. …”

Online survey exploring researcher experiences of research funding processes in the UK: the effort and burden of applying for funding and fulfilling reporting requirements by Katie Meadmore, Kathryn Fackrell, Amanda Blatch-Jones, Alejandra Recio-Saucedo, Hazel Church, Ksenia Crane

“…However, only 33% of respondents felt it was critically important to provide the requested reporting information to the different organisations. Thematic analysis of free-text questions on application and reporting identified themes relating to process inefficiencies including streamlining and alignment of systems, lack of understanding of processes including a need for improved communication and feedback from organisations with clear explanations about what information is needed, when and why, the support required by respondents and the time, effort and impact on workload and well-being.Conclusions Through this study, we were able to identify funding processes that are considered by some to be effortful, but necessary, as well as those that were perceived as unnecessary, complex and repetitive, and may waste some researchers time and effort and impact on well-being. …”

The correlation between serum adiponectin and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in patients with diabetic nephropathy by ZHANG Zhi-qin, WEI Mao-bi, WANG Bai-ying, CHEN Wei, WU Xiao-yan

“…Diagnostic criteria of diabetic nephropathy referred to Expert Consensus on Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy(2014 edition).The control group(CN) consisted of 23 patients with only oblique hernia or intestinal polyps without other symptoms.The diabetic nephropathy group was divided into macroalbuminuria subgroup(10 patients) and microalbuminuria subgroup(37 patients) according to the urinary protein excretion(UAER).The remaining 18 patients were non-albuminuria.The DKD group meeting the criteria of diabetic retinopathy with any stage of chronic kidney disease was included in the retinopathy group.However,since there was also a retinopathy subgroup in the proteinuria group,the cumulative number of retinopathy subgroup was 26 patients.The standard of the macroalbuminuria subgroup was urinary albumin>300 mg/24 h or(+++)or above,while the standard of the microalbuminuria subgroup was ualbumin <300 mg/24 h or(++)or below.The differences and correlations of serum adiponectin and HIF-1α between the two groups and their subgroups were analyzed to explore their clinical significance.Results Serum adiponectin and HIF-1α levels in the diabetic nephropathy group were higher than those in CN group,and serum adiponectin in the DKD group was 3808 ng/L(3625,4164) vs.CN group 2954 ng/L(2439,3809)(P<0.01);serum HIF-1α in the DKD group was 130.44 ng/L(119.50,143.08) vs.CN group 98.32 ng/L(88.04,117.71)(P<0.01).At the same time,linear regression analysis showed that serum ADPN level was positively correlated with hif-1α,with R correlation coefficient=0.961,slope=26.29,and P<0.01.Moreover,the detection efficiency of serum adiponectin and hif-1 to DKD was 0.747 and 0.776,respectively,and P<0.01.Conclusion Serum adiponectin level is increased and positively correlated with HIF-1α in diabetic nephropathy,and serum adiponectin and HIF-1α may have correlative mechanism worthy of exploration.Serum ADPN may be co-involved in the progression of diabetic nephropathy by relating to hypoxia in the body.…”
