Influence of Aquifer Size and Gas Production Rate on Gas-Condensate Reservoir Performance
The process of water influx can provide natural driving energy in the development of gas-condensate reservoirs, whereas it may also cause the abandonment of production wells by water breakthrough. Under specif...

Open AccessFecal microbiota transplantation and replenishment of short-chain fatty acids protect against chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced colonic dysfunction by regulating gut microbiota, differentiation of Th17 cells, and mitochondrial energy metabolism
Little is known about the association between gut microbiota and intestinal injury under a state of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH). Here, the effects of gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)...

Decreased PLUNC expression in nasal polyps is associated with multibacterial colonization in chronic rhinosinusitis patients
PLUNC (palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone) is an epithelium-secreted protein that plays a crucial role in the host’s defense against bacterial infection. The function of PLUNC in the sinus remains poorly...
