Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how adding nitrogen fertilizers affects the remobilization of cadmium in rice fields, highlighting increased cadmium levels in rice due to ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) compared to nitrogen (NO-N).
  • Organic acids secreted by rice roots, particularly under NH-N treatment, were found to play a significant role in increasing soluble cadmium content and impacting microbial community functions.
  • The research suggests a complex interaction between nutrient application, cadmium levels, and microbial dynamics that could elevate cadmium exposure through rice consumption.

Objective: To investigate the anti-coronavirus potential and the corresponding mechanisms of the two ingredients of Reduning Injection: quercetin and luteolin.

Methods: A pseudovirus system was designed to test the efficacy of quercetin and luteolin to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection and the corresponding cellular toxicity. Luteolin was tested for its activities against the pseudoviruses of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.

Object: Scientific guided breathing technology is to be studied based on the cardiopulmonary interaction.

Methods: Heart rate variability was used as the target function to study the smoothly respiratory relaxation procedure in order to acquire the common pattern of regular and slow breathing.

Results: Music based on the acquired common pattern was created and a musical pattern temporally-related to the breathing movement monitored by a sensor could be chosen to guide the breathing interactively.
