Haloxylon ammodendron is a preferred shrub species for buffering against wind and fixing sand in arid sandy areas of northwest China. To determine whether sandstorms cause damage to H. ammodendron seedlings, we investigated the effects of wind-blown sands on the photosynthetic function of H. ammodendron by simulating sand-carrying wind in the wind tunnel. The results showed that photosystem II (PSII) non-photochemical quenchin...

The basic research indicated that microglial P2Y12 receptors ( P2Y12Rs ) are involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy through regulated microglial-neuronal interactions, aberrant neurogenesis, or immature neuronal projections. However, whether the clinic case of epilepsy would be associated with P2Y12 receptor gene polymorphisms is presented with few data. In our study, a total of 176 patients with epilepsy and 50 healthy c...
