Fungi are one of the major components of the eukaryotic microbial community in marine ecosystems, playing a significant role in organic matter cycling and food web dynamics. However, the diversity and roles of fungi in marine sediments remain poorly documented. To elucidate the diversity and spatial distribution of fungal communities in the marine sediments of an estuary-coast continuum across three distinct salinity regions in Zhanjiang Bay, China, the variations in fungal diversity, abundance, community structure, and distribution in the sediments were investigated through the application of high-throughput amplicon sequencing using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) primers.

Methods: A cross-sectional ophthalmic survey was conducted in type 2 diabetes mellitus (D2M) patients aged ≥ 50 years in Funing County, Jiangsu Province, China, which was named Jiangsu Diabetic Eye Disease Study (JDEDS). All participants underwent a comprehensive questionnaire and ocular examination.
Article Synopsis
- A study conducted on 57 Chinese children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes aimed to find simpler methods for assessing endogenous insulin secretion, since previous tests were too complex.
- Findings showed that 44% of the participants had severe insulin deficiency (SID), and fasting C-peptide measurements were highly effective in identifying most cases.
- The research concluded that fasting C-peptide tests are more reliable than insulin dose measurements for evaluating how much insulin the body produces, highlighting their potential in refining treatment approaches for young patients.
Objective: The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence of appositional angle closure in persons aged 50 or above in Funing County.
Methods: Cluster sampling randomly selected residents in Funing County aged 50 years or above. From March to May 2010, 484 eyes of 243 patients with the shallow peripheral anterior chamber and the anatomic narrow chamber angle, which was determined by Van Herick technique and gonioscopy, were collected from 5202 individuals.
Objective: To investigate the interaction between polymorphisms and environment factors in age related cataract (ARC).
Methods: Population-based case-control study. All of 448 cataract cases were selected from cataract eye database and 248 controls were recruited from Funing county.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of cataract among people aged 50 years and above in Funing county of Jiangsu province.
Methods: Case-control study. All of 1 488 cataract cases were selected from cataract patients' database and 1 821 subjects without visual impairment were recruited as controls from Funing county who were examined between June 2010 and May 2011.
Objective: To survey the prevalence, operative status, surgical coverage rate and social burden rate of cataract blindness among older adults aged 50 years or above in 2 typical counties (district) of Jiangsu Province, China in 2010.
Methods: Cluster sampling was used in randomly selected 12 867 individuals aged 50 years or above in 58 clusters in Funing County of Northern Jiangsu and Binhu District of Southern Jiangsu. Among them, 12 053 individuals received visual acuity and eye examinations (response rate 93.
