Coronary artery disease (CAD) is widely recognized as one of the most important clinical entities. In recent years, a large body of accumulated data suggest that coronary artery calcification, a process highly prevalent in patients with CAD, occurs via well-organized biologic processes, rather than passively, as previously regarded. Matrix Gla protein (MGP), a vitamin K-dependent protein, emerged as an important inhibitor of both intimal and medial vascular calcification. The functionality of MGP hinges on two post-translational modifications: phosphorylation and carboxylation. Depending on the above-noted modifications, various species of MGP may exist in circulation, each with their respective level of functionality. Emerging data suggest that dysfunctional species of MGP, markedly, dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated MGP, might find its application as biomarkers of microvascular health, and assist in clinical decision making with regard to initiation of vitamin K supplementation. Hence, in this review we summarized the current knowledge with respect to the role of MGP in the complex network of vascular calcification with concurrent inferences to CAD. In addition, we discussed the effects of warfarin use on MGP functionality, with concomitant implications to coronary plaque stability.

The role of surface water is also the main reason for the formation and development of ground fissures. Five mechanisms were obtained on the formation of ground fissures under the role of surface water in the loess region through theoretical analysis, i.e., fissuring mechanism induced by loess collapsible deformation; that induced by dissolution and suffosion; that induced by water-loss shrinkage; that induced by hydraulic pressure; that induced by humidification and softening. As the role of surface water had certain phased and periodic characteristics, repeated fissuring mechanism of ground fissures was analyzed. Consequently, it could be known that the repeated fissuring of ground fissures under the role of surface water was mainly shown as horizontal openness and closure with little vertical displacement, and fissures were intersected and cross-cut with each other to form a complex network structure.

Formation and expansion of TNCs, particularly in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, is primarily due to a complex network of international production and localisation activities on promising markets at the expense of foreign direct investments (Fdi). These processes every year is increasingly becoming one of the key components of the global economy. Tasks of this paper are to describe the nature and content of the concept of “transnational corporation”, to identify critical factors and characteristics of the modern transnational business in developing countries, countries with economies in transition, and to consider the place and role of TNCs in developing countries and countries with economies in transition.
