Acupuncture Treatment Reduced the Risk of Heart Disease


14 TCAs have cardiac toxicity, and SNRIs have complications related to hypertension.
15,16 Patients should be closely observed when they have these prescriptions. There is no evidence that shows that patients with depression have a reduced risk of CHD with the other antidepressants. Thus, clinical doctors have a great interest in finding a treatment not only for treating depression but also for reducing CHD risk. SSRIs have been recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) for treating CHD patients with depression because of their safety.
17 Although some studies have shown the effectiveness of acupuncture in patients with depression,
18,19 less evidence could be found from long-term follow-up studies to show that patients with depression have CHD protection with acupuncture treatment. The National Health Insurance (NHI) program was established in 1995 in Taiwan by the National Health Insurance Administration. ....

Phenotypes of Mild-to-Moderate Obstructive Pulmonary Disease


Purpose: Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are complex and heterogeneous inflammatory diseases. We sought to investigate distinct disease profiles based on clinical, cellular and molecular data from patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive pulmonary diseases.
Patients and Methods: Patients with mild-to-moderate allergic asthma (n=30) and COPD (n=30) were prospectively recruited. Clinical characteristics and induced sputum were collected. In total, 35 mediators were assessed in induced sputum. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the optimal factors that were able to discriminate between asthma and COPD. Further, the data were explored using hierarchical clustering in order to discover and compare clusters of combined samples of asthma and COPD patients. Clinical parameters, cellular composition, and sputum mediators of asthma and COPD were assessed between and within obtained clusters. ....

Frontiers | A Disrupted Historical Fire Regime in Central British Columbia


Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, Faculty of Forestry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
In the 2017 and 2018, 2.55 million hectares burned across British Columbia, Canada, including unanticipated large and high-severity fires in many dry forests. To transform forest and fire management to achieve resilience to future megafires requires improved understanding historical fire frequency, severity, and spatial patterns. Our dendroecological reconstructions of 35 plots in a 161-hectare study area in a dry Douglas-fir forest revealed historical fires that burned at a wide range of frequencies and severities at both the plot- and study-area scales. The 23 fires between 1619 and 1943 burned at intervals of 10–30 years, primarily at low- to moderate-severity that scarred trees but generated few cohorts. In contrast, current fire-free intervals of 70–180 years exceed historical maximum intervals. Of the six widespread fires from 1790 to 1905, the 1 ....

Effect of natural mutations of SARS-CoV-2 on spike structure, conformation, and antigenicity

SARS-CoV-2 variants with multiple spike mutations enable increased transmission and antibody resistance. Here, we combine cryo-EM, binding and computational analyses to study variant spikes, including one that was involved in transmission between minks and humans, and others that originated and spread in human populations. All variants showed increased ACE2 receptor binding and increased propensity for RBD up states. While adaptation to mink resulted in spike destabilization, the B.1.1.7 (UK) spike balanced stabilizing and destabilizing mutations. A local destabilizing effect of the RBD E484K mutation was implicated in resistance of the B.1.1.28/P.1 (Brazil) and B.1.351 (South Africa) variants to neutralizing antibodies. Our studies revealed allosteric effects of mutations and mechanistic differences that drive either inter-species transmission or escape from antibody neutralization. ....
