Groundwater vulnerability assessment is a crucial step in the efficient management of groundwater resources,especially in areas with intensive anthropogenic activities and groundwater *** the present study,the DRASTIc method was applied using Geographic Information System(GIS)to delineate groundwater vulnerability zones in the Erbil Dumpsite area,central Erbil Basin,North *** showed that the area was classified into four vulnerability classes:Very low(16.97%),low(27.67%),moderate(36.55%)and high(18.81%).The southern,south-eastern and northern parts of the study area exhibited the highest vulnerability potential,while the central-northern,northern and north-western regions displayed the lowest vulnerability ***,results of the single-parameter sensitivity analysis indicated that amongst the seven DRASTIc parameters,the unsaturated zone and the aquifer media were the most influencing *** conclustion,the correlation of 25 nitrate concentration values with the final vulnerability map,assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient,yielded a satisfactory result of R=0.72.

Background Dairy cows experiencing ketosis after calving suffer greater disease incidence and are at greater risk of leaving the herd. In vitro administration of beta-hydroxybutyric acid(BhBA;the primary blood ketone) has inhibitory effects on the function of bovine leukocytes. BhBA is a ligand of hcAR2 and the activation of these receptors promotes an anti-inflammatory response which may be related with immunosuppression observed in transition dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to identify and test antagonists for hcAR2 in bovine immune cells cultured with *** We observed expression of hcAR2 at the protein level within lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. The proportion of cells expressing hcAR2 tended to be greater in mid-lactation compared to early lactation cows;the increase was a result of increased proportion of T and B cells expressing hcAR2. Stimulation of hcAR2 with niacin or BhBA promoted ca^(2+) mobilization in neutrophils and mononuclear cells. Mononuclear cells treated with BhBA had diminished intracellular ca^(2+) responses when hcAR2 was knocked down by si RNA silencing, indicating ca^(2+) mobilization was mediated by hcAR2 signaling. Two candidate antagonists for hcAR2, synthesized from niacin(NA-1 and NA-5), were tested;monocytes and neutrophils pre-treated with NA-1 and NA-5 had reduced ca^(2+) mobilization after incubation with BhBA. Furthermore, NA-5 but not NA-1 prevented BhBA-associated reductions in cyclic *** We demonstrated that hcAR2 is present on bovine leukocytes and has greater expression later in lactation. We confirmed that BhBA and niacin derived hcAR2 antagonists alter bovine leukocyte activity. Our results demonstrate that both BhBA and niacin affect bovine leukocyte ca^(2+) mobilization in a hcAR2-dependent manner.

Objective: The aim of the work described here was to evaluate the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (cEUS) in response evaluation for unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) plus anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody therapy. Methods: A prospective cohort of consecutive patients with hcc who received combined TKI/anti-PD-1 antibody treatment for unresectable hcc between January 2022 and October 2022 was included in this study. The patients underwent unenhanced ultrasound (US) and cEUS examinations before treatment and at follow-up. changes in the largest diameters of the target tumor on unenhanced US and the largest diameters of the enhancing target tumors on cEUS were evaluated. Response Evaluation criteria in Solid Tumors (REcIST) version 1.1 with unenhanced US and magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography (MRI/cT) and modified REcIST (mREcIST) with cEUS and cEMRI/cT were used to assess treatment response. Results: A total of 24 hcc patients (23 men and 1 woman; mean age: 56.5 ± 8.5 y; Barcelona clinic Liver cancer stage c, 62.5%; 29 intrahepatic target tumors) were studied. calculations of degree of necrosis in the target tumors revealed no significant differences between cEUS and cEMRI/cT (44.5 ± 36.2% vs. 45.3 ± 36.8%, p = 0.862). As for the differentiation of responders from non-responders, the agreement between REcIST version 1.1 of unenhanced US and mREcIST-cEUS was poor (κ coefficient = 0.233). Meanwhile, there was a high degree of concordance between mREcIST-cEUS and mREcIST-cEMRI/cT (κ coefficient = 0.812). conclusion: cEUS proved to be superior to baseline US and is comparable to cEMRI/cT in defining treatment outcome for combined TKI/anti-PD-1 antibody therapy. © 2023 World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology
