The incidence of infectious diseases has risen in recent years, leading to a significant surge in the demand for medical molecular detection. High-throughput molecular detection platforms play a crucial role in facilitating rapid and efficient molecular detection. Among the various techniques employed in high-throughput molecular detection, microliquid transfer stands out as one of the most frequently utilized methods.

The karst ecosystem in southwestern China is fragile, and pollutants are more likely to be transported over long distance, resulting in higher pollution risks. Understanding the abundance and composition of microplastics in karst urban water systems is crucial for microplastic pollution management in a karst region.

Herein, the interaction (growth, biofilm formation and survive) of Arthrobacter sp. DNS10, an atrazine degrading strain, with three kinds of typical soil minerals, such as montmorillonite, kaolinite and goethite, as well as the atrazine degradation gene (trzN) expression of the strain in the minerals system were studied.

The results showed that the abundance of MPs in Wujiang river basin sediments ranged from 310 to 2620 items/kg dw (mean: 1354 items/kg dw, a high level compared with aquatic sediments worldwide). The main chemical components of these MPs were polypropylene and polyethylene.

Prosperous dam construction changed the connectivity of rivers, thereby reducing the flux of microplastics to the ocean. However, this process currently lacks verification for the large-scale watersheds.

The role of homocysteine (Hcy), an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, in the development of atherosclerosis is gradually revealed. However, studies are still rare and little is known about the relationship of Hcy level with the prognosis.
