    A comparison of distance geometry and molecular dynamics simulation techniques for conformational analysis of β-cyclodextrin (1992)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: Distance geometry and molecular dynamics simulation techniques were compared in their ability to search the conformational potential energy surface of β-cyclodextrin. Structures generated by the DISGEO program were minimized using three different atomic point charge sets. Some of these structures were used as starting points for molecular dynamics simulation in vacuo at 298K. The distance geometry results showed that the global features of the conformational potential energy surface were generally independent of the point charge set. The distance geometry technique was able to find structures of lower energy than those obtained by direct minimization of the X-ray or neutron diffraction structures. However, the molecular dynamics simulation technique was consistently able to find structures of lower energy than those generated by distance geometry. Root mean square fit of the trajectory structures to the starting structure showed that the simulation allowed the molecule to explore regions of the potential energy surface in the neighborhood of the starting structure. Both the distance geometry and molecular dynamics simulation techniques showed that β-cyclodextrin can adopt a wide range of conformations in the gas phase and that these conformations are much less symmetrical than the crystalline structure.

    America's water risk: Current demand and climate variability (2015)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-03-18
    Description: A new indicator of drought induced water stress is introduced and applied at the county level in USA. Unlike most existing drought metrics, we directly consider current daily water demands and renewable daily water supply to estimate the potential stress. Water stress indices developed include the Normalized Deficit Cumulated (NDC) to represent multi-year droughts by computing the maximum cumulative deficit between demand and supply over the study period (1949-2009) and the Normalized Deficit Index (NDI) representing drought associated with maximum cumulative deficit each year. These water stress indices map directly to storage requirements needed to buffer multi-year and within-year climate variability, and can reveal the dependence on exogenous water transferred by rivers/canals to the area. Future climate change and variability can be also incorporated into this framework to inform climate-driven drought for additional storage development and potential applications of water trading across counties.

    Clinical evidence of prevention strategies for capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome (2018)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-01-23
    Description: Hand-foot syndrome (HFS) is the most common adverse effect of capecitabine-containing chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacies of various prevention and treatment strategies for capecitabine-induced HFS. Searches of the PubMed and Embase databases were performed to identify relevant studies. The risk ratio (RR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was used as an effect measure to evaluate the efficacies of these prevention and treatment strategies. Publication bias was evaluated using Begg's and Egger's tests. Overall and subgroup analyses were conducted. All statistical analyses were conducted with Stata software version 12.0. Seventeen eligible studies were included. Our results indicated that celecoxib was significantly associated with a lower incidence of grade ≥2 capecitabine-induced HFS without heterogeneity (RR=0.43, 95% CI=0.23–0.81, I 2 =0.0%). However, pyridoxine and topical urea/lactic acid were not effective toward preventing capecitabine-induced grade 1, 2, 3, ≥1, or ≥2 HFS. Moreover, pyridoxine was not effective in treating capecitabine-induced HFS. Similar results were obtained by subgroup analysis. Our results indicate that celecoxib has potential prophylactic efficacy for capecitabine-induced HFS. However, pyridoxine and topical urea/lactic acid are not associated with a decrease in the incidence of capecitabine-induced HFS. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

    Impacts of climate change on reference evapotranspiration in the Qilian Mountains of China: Historical trends and projected changes (2018)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-12
    Description: Global climate change is likely to affect reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) and the use of water resources for vegetation management. Our goals were to identify spatio-temporal characteristics of ET 0 and factors controlling the change in ET 0 and to project spatio-temporal changes in the Qilian Mountains of China under the future climate conditions. Changes in ET 0 were estimated by the Penman–Monteith method for 22 meteorological stations from 1960 to 2015. We quantified the attributions of climatic factors with the differentiation equation method. Then, we assessed the spatio-temporal changes in projected ET 0 with CanESM2 model outputs and statistical downscaling model for three representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios for years 2016–2100. We found that annual ET 0 averaged across the region was 1001.5 mm, with an insignificant decrease of −0.43 mm/year during 1960–2015. The lowest values were present in the alpine region in the central area, while the highest ET 0 was detected in the western region. An annual and seasonal “evaporation paradox” existed in the Qilian Mountains during the past few decades. Mean daily air temperature measured ( T mean ) and wind speed ( U 2 ) were the dominant factors in ET 0 change. However, the decreasing trend in ET 0 may be due to a diminished effect of T mean triggered by short-wave radiation ( R s ), actual vapour pressure ( e a ), and wind speed ( U 2 ), but especially by the substantial reduction in U 2 at most stations. Compared with the baseline, ET 0 is likely to increase by 6.31–7.20, 6.11–10.41, and 6.58–17.66%, respectively, under RCP scenarios of 2.6 (very low forcing scenario), 4.5 (medium stabilization scenario), and 8.5 (very high emission scenario), but RCP2.6 ET 0 rates level off and even decline after 2050 while RCP4.5 rates climb only marginally after 2050. Thus, ET 0 projected with the CanESM2 model displayed an upwards trend in the Qilian Mountains, especially the central alpine region. ET 0 showed insignificant decreasing trends with increasing significant air temperature. Wind speed was the most important factor influencing ET 0 changes. Projected ET 0 displayed an upwards trend in the Qilian Mountains, especially the central alpine region. Increasing of evapotranspiration in the future may raise ecological water demand and aggravate water shortage.

    Sterol content in the artificial diet of Mythimna separata affects the metabolomics of Arma chinensis (Fallou) as determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (2017)
    Wiley-Blackwell
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-10-12
    Description: Insects cannot synthesize sterols and must obtain them from plants. Therefore, reducing plant sterol content or changing sterol type might be an effective pest control strategy. However, the impacts of these changes on pests’ natural predators remain unknown. Here, we fed artificial diets with reduced sterol content to Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and investigated the effects on its natural predator, Arma chinensis (Fallou) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Reduced sterol content in M. separata (MS1, MS2, and MS5) was achieved by feeding them artificial diets prepared from a feed base subjected to one, two, or five cycles of sterol extractions, respectively. The content of most substances increased in A. chinensis (AC) groups feeding on MS2 and MS5. The content of eight substances (alanine, betaine, dimethylamine, fumarate, glutamine, glycine, methylamine, and sarcosine) differed significantly between the control (AC0) and treated (AC1, AC2, and AC5) groups. Metabolic profiling revealed that only AC5 was significantly distinct from AC0; the major substances contributing to this difference were maltose, glucose, tyrosine, proline, O -phosphocholine, glutamine, allantoin, lysine, valine, and glutamate. Furthermore, only two metabolic pathways, that is, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism and ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis, differed significantly between AC1 and AC5 and the control, albeit with an impact value of zero. Thus, the sterol content in the artificial diet fed to M. separata only minimally affected the metabolites and metabolic pathways of its predator A. chinensis , suggesting that A. chinensis has good metabolic self-regulation with high resistance to sterol content changes.
