    Increasing evidence has solidified the involvement of α-synuclein (α-Syn) and neurotoxins in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), suggesting a combination of genetic and environmental influences. 2,3,5,4’-Tetrahydroxystilbene -2-O-β-D-glucoside (TSG) is one of the main active components extracted from Polygonum multiflorum. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of TSG on α-Syn aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and apoptosis in vitro. A53T mutant α-synuclein-transfected cells (A53T AS cells) plus MPP+The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

    AbstractEstimating of the water environment capacity is an important content of the assessment of regional environmental impact. This article estimates the environmental capacity of surface water of the Yellow River basin, Haihe River basin, Huaihe River basin, Jiaodong Peninsula rivers basin in Shandong based on discussing the concept of water environmental capacity and estimation methods. This article selects the appropriate water quality model and determines the appropriate parameters looking the basin divided unit as the basic unit of the water environment capacity, based on the results of the division of surface water basin and the comprehensive comparison of the multiple water quality model. Then the author calculates the water environmental capacity and gets the control unit of the water environmental capacity, the results will be visualized feedback by GIS. The study has important reference value for assessment of regional environmental and a reasonable estimate of the water environmental capacity

Yang Weicheng, Long Jiankun, Sun Haiyan & Xu Fangling; 1 ♂, CHINA: Hainan, Jianfengling, 23 April 2014, coll. Long Jiankun (GUGC). Variation. Based on the examined specimens, the pygofer caudoventral lobe is long and bluntly narrowed in lateral view and the segment X ventral processes are long, exceeding the apex of pygofer in specimens from Guangxi, Guizhou (Fig. 195), but in Hainan both are relatively short (Fig. 201). Remarks. This species was described from the holotype (male) from ZSU (Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China). It resembles T. vastestyla Wang & Li, 2002 in general appearance, but differs in having the ventral processes of segment X straight (Figs. 195, 201), versus curved in T. vastestyla (Wang & Li 2002: 2, Fig. 2); the paraphysis lateral margins are toothed, without process, and the style is slender with the apex pointed (Fig. 198), whereas in T. vastestyla there are two processes on the paraphysis, and the style is broad, with apex expanded (Wang & Li 2002: 2, Figs. 4, 6).Published as part of Fan, Zhi-Hua, Li, Zi-Zhong & Dai, Ren-Huai, 2015, Taxonomic study of the leafhopper genus Thagria Melichar (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Coelidiinae) from Guangxi, China, pp. 451-491 in Zootaxa 3918 (4) on page 464, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3918.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/25391
