Summary: Under global warming, droughts have become more severe and frequent. This study focuses on the Yellow River basin in China, which is mainly located in arid and semi-arid regions and suffers from severe droughts. The study examines the temporal and spatial patterns of droughts in the area and explores the relative effects of water supply (precipitation) and demand (evapotranspiration) on drought occurrence. The study finds that precipitation is the dominant driver of drought occurrence in most of the basin, while evapotranspiration has a greater contribution to drought variations in some areas. The study also highlights the relationship between droughts and ocean signals such as ENSO and NAO.

Summary: Climate change intensification leads to changes in catchment properties, resulting in uncertainties in describing catchment hydrological behavior. This study explores the hydrological response to multiyear drought and identifies the causes behind it. The results show that multiyear drought mainly causes changes in the precipitation-streamflow relationship. The severity of drought, leaf area index, and slope play a role in determining the magnitude of these changes. Catchment properties can alleviate the reduction in streamflow, but they also have negative effects.

Summary: This research analyzed the spatiotemporal characteristics of drought and wet events in the Yellow River basin from 1961 to 2020 using the standardized precipitation index (SPI). The results showed that drought frequency decreased while wetness increased over time. Drought had a negative effect on grain yield per unit area, while wetness had a positive effect, except in Shandong province. The findings indicate the effectiveness of human activities in preventing and controlling drought and wet disasters, providing a reference for other regions.

Summary: Drought, a significant natural phenomenon affecting water resources studies, agriculture, and environmental societies globally, is monitored in diverse climate regions of Iran using a newly developed precipitation dataset. The study shows that the SM2RAIN-ASCAT product performs well in detecting rainy days in extra-arid regions but tends to overestimate precipitation in these areas, while underestimating in humid and per-humid climates. Results also demonstrate good agreement between SM2RAIN-ASCAT and ground-based observations for monitoring drought at different time scales.

Summary: The study found that soil moisture in different climate regions of the Yangtze River basin exhibited different lag times to meteorological factors. The newly developed Comprehensive Agricultural Drought Index (CADI) effectively reflected the feedback of time lag effects in drought assessment and showed strong correlations with other drought indices. The CADI was able to monitor seasonal variations and spatial patterns of agricultural drought, especially in identifying summer droughts, providing scientific support for regional drought management.

Summary: System paclitaxel-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for breast cancer, but chemotherapy resistance remains a major challenge. Our study shows that IFT20 is associated with shorter relapse-free survival in patients receiving paclitaxel chemotherapy. High expression of IFT20 in breast cancer cells increases resistance to paclitaxel-induced cell death, while IFT20 knockdown enhances apoptosis. Mechanistically, IFT20 modulates ASK1 signaling to drive paclitaxel resistance. IFT20 may serve as a potential molecular biomarker for predicting response to paclitaxel therapy in breast cancer.

Summary: In this study, the spatial and temporal processes of a PM pollution episode in Zhengzhou, China were simulated. The anthropogenic emissions from the south of Zhengzhou were found to be the main causes of high PM concentrations, contributing 14.39% and 16.34% to PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. The anthropogenic emissions from Zhengzhou itself contributed 7.94% and 7.29% to PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations, respectively. The anthropogenic emissions from the northeast of Zhengzhou contributed 7.42% and 7.18% to PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations, respectively.

Summary: In recent years, the prevalence of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become a major cause of liver fibrosis worldwide. The progression of liver fibrosis is associated with severe liver-related and cardiovascular events, as well as mortality in MAFLD patients. Multiple pathways are involved in promoting the progression of liver fibrosis in MAFLD, leading to an increased interest in multi-drug combination therapy strategies. This review discusses the mechanisms of MAFLD-related liver fibrosis, current intervention and treatment methods, and explores safer and more effective strategies for multi-drug combination therapy in MAFLD and its subsequent liver fibrosis.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death, and effective diagnosis and treatment measures are urgently needed. Microvascular invasion (MVI) has been identified as an independent risk factor for poor prognosis after hepatectomy. Abnormal expression of biomacromolecules in HCC patients, such as circRNAs, lncRNAs, STIP1, and PD-L1, is strongly associated with MVI. These biomarkers play important roles in the progression and development of HCC cells through multiple complex mechanisms.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor with a high incidence and mortality rate. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving prognosis. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is commonly used for HCC diagnosis, but its accuracy is limited. Surgery and liver transplantation are main treatments, while drug therapy and local interventions are better options for advanced HCC. Non-coding RNA has been found to play a role in tumor development and can serve as a biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment assessment. This article explores the unique role of circulating noncoding RNA in HCC from various perspectives.
