According to the river environmental quality, pollutant emission, and investment in environmental pollution control from 2002-2020, the change law and driving factors of river environmental quality in China were evaluated using canonical correlation analysis and the Spearman correlation coefficient to analyze the influence between environmental and pollutant emission/investment in environmental pollution control. The results indicated that the river environmental quality was improved significantly based on the proportion of Class Ⅰ-Ⅲ increasing from 29.1% to 87.

- Phosphoric acid-modified biochar (PMBC) was created by treating biochar with phosphoric acid, leading to significant structural changes, such as rougher sidewalls, increased specific surface area, and improved isoelectric points, which enhance its adsorption capabilities.* -
- The study demonstrated that PMBC effectively adsorbs sulfadiazine (SDZ) through both physical and chemical interactions, following the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics, indicating the process is spontaneous and primarily driven by micropore capture and various interactions.* -
- A composite of PMBC and TiO (PMBC@TiO) was developed to boost photocatalytic capabilities, with an optimal mass ratio found to
Epigenetic role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in the cardiovascular system.

As the most prevalent and abundant transcriptional modification in the eukaryotic genome, the continuous and dynamic regulation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been shown to play a vital role in physiological and pathological processes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as ischemic heart failure (HF), myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial infarction (MI), and cardiomyogenesis. Regulation is achieved by modulating the expression of m6A enzymes and their downstream cardiac genes. In addition, this process has a major impact on different aspects of internal biological metabolism and several other external environmental effects associated with the development of CVDs.

This work aimed to determine whether subcutaneous alamandine injection would attenuate hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy, and improve the function of a major target of hypertension-related damage, the left ventricle (LV), in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). This was examined in vivo in SHRs and normotensive rats subjected to 6-week subcutaneous infusion of alamandine or saline control, and in vitro in H9C2-derived and primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes treated with angiotensin (Ang) II to model cardiac hypertrophy.
