As global warming has become truth, is developing as a new economic model, The new economic development model has given rise to an important branch of environmental accounting, namely carbon accounting. At first, this paper discusses the carbon accounting theoretical foundation comprehensively, and then analyzes the environment of the construction of the carbon accounting system. The focus of the article is to build enterprise carbon accounting system, it covers the confirmation and measurement, record and information disclosure of the enterprise carbon accounting on the way of low carbon economy, its core is the processing of carbon emission rights, information disclosure mode and content, etc.; The purpose of this paper is to build enterprise carbon accounting system which is suitable for China’s national conditions, in order to provide certain reference and theoretical support for the low carbon economy development of our country.

Objectives: To investigate the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Methods: A case–control association analysis of 277 Chinese Han children was performed. The tagging variants rs11571315 and rs3087243 in the CTLA4 gene were detected using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were performed to determine the relationship of CTLA4 with ITP. Results: Neither SNP was significantly different between case and control groups in either the genotypic or allelic distribution. The eQTL analysis results indicated that in the spleen, the rs3087243 was significant with the expression of CTLA4. The rs11571315 has similar results. Interestingly, the transcript level of CTLA4 was found to significantly decrease in patients with ITP. Discussion: The autoimmune and gene etiology is implicated in the pathogen of ITP. The CTLA4 is important for negative regulation of T-cell activation, and CTLA-4 gene has been identified as a risk factor for some autoimmune diseases. However, association studies of ITP and CTLA4 gene have obtained conflicting results. This is the first study to systematically investigate the association of CTLA4 with ITP in Chinese Han children. Conclusions: The CTLA4 gene is suggested to correlate with ITP through its abnormal expression level instead of gene site mutation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bone remodeling is a persistent process for maintaining skeletal system homeostasis, and it depends on the dynamic equilibrium between bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a ligand-activated transcription factor, plays a pivotal role in regulating skeletal system. In order to better understand the role of Ahr in bone remodeling, we focused on bone remodeling characteristic, and the effects of Ahr on bone formation and differentiation, which suggest that Ahr is a critical control factor in the process of bone remodeling. Moreover, we discussed the impacts of Ahr on several signaling pathways related to bone remodeling, hoping to provide a theoretical basis to improve bone remodeling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To investigated the circulating microRNA expression profile in sepsis and its clinical evaluation., Methods: 70 patients with sepsis and 30 patients with SIRS were selected and their blood samples were collected. Using liquid bead array with 3 statistical analysis approaches analyzed the circulating microRNA expression profiles, for confirming the data of liquid bead array, qRT-PCR was performed. The prognostic value of the changed microRNA in sepsis was determined and compared with CRP and PCT by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. To reveal whether the selected microRNAs could predict the outcome of patients, 28 d survival rate were calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Furthermore, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in plasma were detected and the relationship with the changed microRNA was determined., Results: By integrating data from liquid bead array, we ultimately identified 6 microRNAs that were consistently changed in both of 3 statistical analysis approaches, however, only the change of microRNA-25 was significant according to the qPCR's result. The area under ROC curve showed that the clinical accuracy of microRNA-25 for sepsis diagnosis was better than CRP and PCT (AUG=0.806, 0.676 and 0.726, P<0.05).The decrease in level of microRNA-25 was correlated with the severity of sepsis, SOFA score, CRP and PCT level, meanwhile, microRNA-25 level can be used for predicting the prognosis of patients, the patients with microRNA-25 level ≤0.492 had a lower 28 d survival rate. Moreover, Decreased microRNA-25 level was related to the level of oxidative stress indicators in sepsis patients., Conclusions: MicroRNA-25 can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis and assessment of sepsis. Meanwhile, microRNA-25 level may be associated with oxidative stress in patients with sepsis, and it is expected to become a target for anti-oxidation therapy.
