To date, how complex mineral-organic matter (OM) interactions affect the migration and mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soils is highly understudied. This work mainly focused on the occurrence characteristics of PTEs and their close association with the composition characterization of mineral elements and dissolved OM (DOM) molecules. The results revealed that quartz (20.

Article Synopsis
  • In China, places with lead and zinc pollution are affected by natural events like freeze-thaw cycles and acid rain, but scientists aren’t sure how these affect toxic elements in the soil.
  • A study showed that the frequency of freeze-thaw cycles was really important for the release of these toxic elements, but lowering the acidity of the soil didn’t always lead to more pollution.
  • The results help us understand how minerals in the soil break down and how toxic elements move around, which can help improve cleanup methods for contaminated areas.

Background: Sleep deprivation (SD) has become a serious concern worldwide. This study aimed to identify key modules and candidate hub genes correlated with diseases caused by SD, using co-expression analysis.

Methods: The weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed to construct a co-expression network of hub genes correlated with SD.
