The orbital Hall effect originating from light materials with weak spin-orbit coupling, has attracted considerable interest in spintronic applications. Recent studies demonstrate that orbital currents can be generated from charge currents through the orbital Hall effect in ferromagnetic materials. However, the generation of orbital currents in antiferromagnets has so far been elusive.

Background: Investigating the function of SATB1 in hepatocytes is essential for developing therapeutic strategies for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). Although SATB1 has been extensively studied in immune cells, its specific activity in hepatocytes within the context of AIH remains unclear.

Methods: SATB1 expression in AIH hepatocytes was assessed by qRT-PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how environmental factors influence bacterial communities in an underground coal mine, specifically in Shanxi Province, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to analyze species abundance and biodiversity.
  • Results indicate that mining activities significantly affect bacterial diversity, with variations seen across different areas of the mine, where Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria dominate in specific locations.
  • Key environmental factors like cadmium, oxygen, and hydrogen were identified as influential, and the findings could aid in promoting green mining practices in coal mining operations.

Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) may be involved in inflammatory response and secondary brain injury after acute brain injury. We gauged serum DKK-1 levels and further assessed its correlation with disease severity and investigated its predictive value for 90-day prognosis in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Serum DKK-1 levels were measured in 128 sICH patients and 128 healthy controls.

Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIP-3) is a key component for inducing necroptosis following acute brain injury. Purpose of this study is to unveil whether serum RIP-3 levels are related to severity and clinical outcomes after human severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). In this two-center prospective cohort study, serum RIP-3 levels were detected in 127 healthy controls coupled with 127 sTBI patients.

Article Synopsis
  • MyD88 is an important protein that helps our body fight infections and is linked to inflammatory bowel disease, but scientists aren’t sure exactly how it works.
  • In a study, researchers used mice without MyD88 and found that even without it, the mice still got sick from bowel inflammation when given a certain chemical that causes colitis.
  • The results showed that stopping MyD88 caused changes in gut bacteria that made inflammation worse, suggesting that MyD88 plays a complicated role in keeping our intestines healthy.

Background: Chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) may be involved in the inflammatory response and secondary brain injury after severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). We determined serum CKLF1 levels of sTBI patients to further investigate the correlation of CKLF1 levels with disease severity, functional prognosis, and 180-day mortality of sTBI.

Methods: Serum CKLF1 levels were measured at admission in 119 sTBI patients and at entry into study in 119 healthy controls.

Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is implicated in neuroinflammation. Here, we explored the prognostic significance of serum AIM2 in human aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). We conducted a consecutive enrollment of 127 patients, 56 of whom agreed with blood-drawings not only at admission but also at days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days after aSAH.

Nonlinear transport enabled by symmetry breaking in quantum materials has aroused considerable interest in condensed matter physics and interdisciplinary electronics. However, achieving a nonlinear optical response in centrosymmetric Dirac semimetals via defect engineering has remained a challenge. Here, we observe the helicity dependent terahertz emission in Dirac semimetal PtTe thin films via the circular photogalvanic effect under normal incidence.

Phosphate solubilizing fungi Penicillium oxalicum (POX) and Red yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (Rho) have been applied in Pb remediation with the combination of fluorapatite (FAp), respectively. The secretion of oxalic acid by POX and the production of extracellular polymers (EPS) by Rho dominate the Pb remediation. In this study, the potential of Pb remediation by the fungal combined system (POX and Rho) with FAp was investigated.

Curcumin, a kind of natural compound, has been previously proven to inhibit the autophagy in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and induce their apoptosis. However, it is not clear whether the enhanced apoptosis of activated HSCs (aHSCs) caused by curcumin depends on autophagy inhibition. We aim to verify this hypothesis and explore the potential mechanisms in this study.

Phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) efficiently dissolve insoluble phosphates through the production of organic acids. This study investigates the mechanisms of organic acid secretion by PSF, specifically Penicillium chrysogenum, under tricalcium phosphate (Ca(PO), Ca-P) and ferric phosphate (FePO, Fe-P) conditions. Penicillium chrysogenum exhibited higher phosphorus (P) release efficiency from Ca-P (693.

Lead (Pb) is one of the most common heavy metal pollutants in the environment, which can indirectly or directly threaten human health. Lead immobilization by apatite can reduce the effectiveness of Pb cations the formation of pyromorphite (Pyro). However, the formation of Pyro is always depending on the release of phosphorus (P) from apatite.

Objective: Gastric precancerous conditions such as atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) are considered independent risk factors for gastric cancer (GC). The suitable endoscopic monitoring interval is unclear when we attempt to prevent GC development. This study investigated the appropriate monitoring interval for AG/IM patients.

Chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) can occasionally occur after long-term chemotherapy for solid tumors; solid tumors secondary to chemotherapy and biotherapy for CML have also been reported. However, concurrence of these two phenomena in an untreated patient has seldom been reported. Herein, we describe the case of a female patient in her early 60 s who was transferred to the liver surgery department after the discovery of a large liver mass and elevated plasma alpha-fetoprotein levels.

To explore the mechanisms of crop straw degradation and phosphorus (P) release by phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF), a typical PSF (, ANG) was investigated for the degradation of wheat straw (WST) in this work. The results revealed that significantly increased wheat straw degradation (30%) compared with no treatment (7.7%).

Phosphates are the dominant phosphorus (P) source on Earth. The phosphates govern available P in soil, or even the complete ecosystem. The common deficiency of available P in carbonate-enriched soils suggests the tight correlation between P and C biogeochemistry, although the two elements have diverse abundance in soil.

The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future, together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and ecosystem processes is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the responses of the temporal stability and resilience of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of an alpine meadow to an extreme flooding event under different treatments of experimental drought and clipping.

Phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) can enhance P release from phosphate minerals to immobilize heavy metals. However, this promotion substantially depends on their survival in highly polluted soils. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival of PSF after addition of phosphogypsum (PG) and bioorganic fertilizer (BF) in the soil with coexistence of multiple heavy metals, e.
