Geological Position, Sources, and Age of Mingling Dikes of the Northwestern Margin of the Tuva–Mongolian Massif in Western Sangilen, Southeastern Tuva
Authors: Yakovlev V.A. , Karmysheva I.V. , Vladimirov V.G. , Semenova D.V. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
––The best source of information about the specific features of magmatism in collision zones is the late collisional tectonomagmatic stage, which is associated with the largest volume and diversity of the resulting magmatic associations. In this paper, granitoid and mafic late collisional magmatism is considered using the example of Early Caledonian igneous complexes of Western Sangilen (Tuva–Mongolian massif). Results of geochronological, petrographic, petrogeochemical, and mineralogical studies of the rocks of the Saizyral mingling dike and salic dikes are presented. Approximately ~485 Ma, high-potassium granitoid massifs formed simultaneously with the intrusion and occurrence of a complex of granitoid and mingling dikes. The Saizyral mingling dike resulted from the joint intrusion and mixing of basic and silicic magmas in a low-pressure region within the Erzin shear zone at a middle crust depth level. Interaction of contrasting magmas is comprised of two stages. The first stage occurs during the transport of a contrast mixture and comes down to intensive mechanical mixing and the introduction of LIL and HFS elements, as well as Th and U from granitoids into the mafic rocks. This changes the geochemical characteristics of the mafic rocks. The second stage is when the joint crystallization of magmas is accompanied by gravitational sedimentation of denser mafic magmas and the formation of narrow zones of intermediate composition at the contact of contrasting rocks.

Abstract
Introduction: The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is an evil infectious disease seriously threatening people's life and health for its high infectivity and incidence. A practical solution to curb the pandemic is to facilitate the recognition of poor prognostic factors at earlier stages, especially in vulnerable groups such as the elderly, to help clinicians make timely decision on treatment initiation.
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study on information extracted from the medical files of 534 COVID-19 cases aged 60 years and above. Then, the frequencies of these variables by the outcome (recovery or death) were analyzed, and the association between the demographic characteristics, severity, clinical symptoms, vital signs, and underlying health with the mortality rate was reported.
Results: The average age of the population was 72.5±8.77 years. The overall mortality rate was 23.2%. The in-ICU mortality rate of 87%. Mortality increased considerably with a rise in Troponin level, 53% with Troponin≥100. RDW>16, and MCV>96.1 significantly increased mortality. 86% of the cases suffered from chronic diseases. The mortality rate in cases with autoimmune diseases was 64%, and with CKD was 51%.
Conclusions: ICU admission was the strongest predictive indicator for poor outcomes. Mortality increased significantly in the elderly COVID-19 cases suffered from autoimmune diseases, CKD, underlying pulmonary and heart diseases, and diabetes, and those experiencing diastolic and systolic hypotension.

Experimental study on plastic deformation of alluvial silty sand under traffic cyclic loading
Authors: Mao Yukun , Yang Junsheng , Dai Yue , Wu Dingyi , Chen Bingxu 
Published: November 2023

With the development of highway construction, alluvial silt is gradually used as roadbed filler, but its dynamic characteristics are less studied. Based on the highway section from Luanzhou to Qingtuoying of G508, the plastic strain and dynamic stress-dynamic strain development law of alluvial silty sand under cyclic loading are analyzed by GDS dynamic triaxial test. The results show that under the action of a small range of dynamic stress amplitude, the soil sample is not destroyed, and the number of cycles is 1000 times, which is the critical point at which the axial total strain gradually tends to be stable. When the dynamic stress amplitude is 300 kPa, the total axial strain increases linearly, and the soil sample is destroyed. The cumulative plastic strain of the alluvial silt is the smallest when the optimum water content is 8.0 %, the confining pressure is 80 kPa, and the frequency is 1Hz.At this time, the cyclic load has a dense effect on the soil, and the soil structure does not fail. The dynamic stress-strain relationship of alluvial silty sand conforms to the R. L. Kondner hyperbolic model. The greater the confining pressure and the closer the moisture content to the optimal moisture content, the greater the dynamic strength. The research results are helpful to provide reference for other similar projects.
Climate change impact on crop stress and food security in a semi-arid river basin
Authors: Sharma Alka , Patel Prem Lal , Sharma Priyank J. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

This investigation explores the spatio-temporal variations of aridity across the Sabarmati River basin (SRB), India, using rainfall and temperature datasets for the baseline (1951–2019) and future (2020–2100) periods. The projected changes are analysed using a multi-model ensemble of five general circulation models under two representative concentration pathways (RCPs). The long-term variation and dependency between the aridity index (AI) and other climate indices are explored. Further, the sensitivity of Kharif and Rabi crops to atmospheric warming is investigated using anthesis heat stress (AHS) at the district level. The results project increased rainfall and temperature at the end of the 21st century. The projected rise in AI denotes a transition from semi-arid to sub-humid conditions in parts of the SRB, particularly the southern SRB. However, AI shows a stronger positive association with rainfall compared to temperature, which drives the basin towards moisture-sufficient conditions. High to very high AHS levels are noted for the Kharif and Rabi crops in all the districts. The escalating severe temperature episodes during RCP8.5 may significantly impact crop stress and food security in the SRB. Thus, there is a need to adopt resilient agricultural practices to overcome the negative impact of increasing temperatures in the future.
Intestinal Barrier Function and Neurodegenerative Disease
Authors: Wu Shijing , Yang Liangfang , Fu Yiwei , Liao Zhimin , Cai De , Liu Zhou 
Published: November 2023

Abstract:
Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the loss of neurons and/or their myelin sheaths,
which deteriorate over time and become dysfunctional. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease,
and multiple sclerosis are among the most prominent neurodegenerative diseases that affect millions
of older adults worldwide. Despite extensive research over several decades, controversies still surround
the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, and many of them remain incurable. Meanwhile,
an increasing number of new mechanistic studies related to the microbiota-gut-brain axis have
emerged, among which the relationship between the function of the intestinal barrier and neurodegenerative
diseases has received widespread attention. As one of the first lines of defense between
the body and the external environment, the impaired function of the intestinal barrier is closely related
to the development of neurodegenerative pathologies. Among them, the microbiota-gut-brain
axis disorder characterized by intestinal barrier disruption mainly includes impaired function of the
intestinal microbial barrier, chemical barrier, mechanical barrier, and immune barrier. This review
focuses on the structure and molecular mechanisms of the various layers of the intestinal barrier as
well as their relationship with neurodegenerative lesions. In recent years, intestinal barrier repair
therapies have provided new ideas for the studied disease treatment modalities. We believe that a
better understanding of the role of the intestinal barrier in neurodegenerative diseases would provide
new insights for the development of viable therapeutic strategies for patients.
Finite Element Model for Local Instantaneous Impact Protection Analysis
Based on Digital Arm
Authors: Kuang Jiangming , Zhang Mang , Zhang Shuang , Qin Yuping 
Published: November 2023

Background:
This study investigates the damage in human tissue in regions subjected
to stress when the human body experiences localized, instantaneous impact loads.

Methods:
Utilizing 727 images spanning from the shoulder to the fingertip of a digital human
model based on Chinese demographics, the geometric details of tissue structures were derived
via tissue segmentation, 3D modeling, and reverse engineering. A stress-induced damage model
for the human forearm was created using the finite element simulation software, commercial
software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5 in the college edition. By applying an impact load of
6.4×106 N m2 to the load surface, a response time of 1×10−3 s was determined. Subsequently,
the force transmission mechanism was examined when the human forearm was under stress.
This approach represents the unique aspect of our patent study.

Results:
The modeling and analysis revealed that skin, fat, and muscle -being viscoelastic tissues
-undergo deformation upon experiencing stress impacts. This deformation aids in dissipating energy.
In transient states, the body does not sustain severe damage, and the impact-induced damage
to these tissues is relatively minimal. However, if the force duration is prolonged or if the
impact load is exceedingly high, exceeding the critical limit of adhesive tissue may result in penetration
of the tissue at the stress point. Notably, tissues beyond the direct impact area remain
largely unharmed.

Conclusion:
Damage due to localized, instantaneous impact loads is primarily concentrated on
the immediate stress surface, while regions beyond this point incur minimal to no damage. Calculations
indicate that, while such impacts can cause penetrating injuries, the resulting wounds
are typically small. With prompt medical intervention, these injuries are not debilitating to the
human body.

Published: November 2023

Background
Viscoelastic hemostatic assays, such as rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) or thromboelastography, enable prompt diagnosis and accelerate targeted treatment. However, the complex interpretation of the results remains challenging. Visual Clot—a situation awareness-based visualization technology—was developed to assist clinicians in interpreting viscoelastic tests.

Objective
Following a previous high-fidelity simulation study, we analyzed users’ perceptions of the technology, to identify its strengths and limitations from clinicians’ perspectives.

Methods
This is a mixed qualitative-quantitative study consisting of interviews and a survey. After solving coagulation scenarios using Visual Clot in high-fidelity simulations, we interviewed anesthesia personnel about the perceived advantages and disadvantages of the new tool. We used a template approach to identify dominant themes in interview responses. From these themes, we defined 5 statements, which were then rated on Likert scales in a questionnaire.

Results
We interviewed 77 participants and 23 completed the survey. We identified 9 frequently mentioned topics by analyzing the interview responses. The most common themes were “positive design features,” “intuitive and easy to learn,” and “lack of a quantitative component.” In the survey, 21 respondents agreed that Visual Clot is easy to learn and 16 respondents stated that a combination of Visual Clot and ROTEM would help them manage complex hemostatic situations.

Conclusions
A group of anesthesia care providers found Visual Clot well-designed, intuitive, and easy to learn. Participants highlighted its usefulness in emergencies, especially for clinicians inexperienced in coagulation management. However, the lack of quantitative information is an area for improvement.
