Ammonia (NH) and nitrous oxide (NO) release are the main causes of nitrogen loss during aerobic composting. In this study, hyperthermophilic aerobic composting of refinery waste activated sludge (RWAS) was performed by adding extreme thermophilic bacteria, and the effects of inoculation on NH and NO emissions were systematically studied. The results revealed that inoculation achieved hyperthermophilic aerobic composting (T group), increased maturity, and reduced NH and NO emissions by 32.

However, the functions and mechanisms of most non-coding RNAs in skeletal muscle regulatory networks are unclear. This study investigated the function and mechanism of in muscle growth and development.

The factors that suggest a possible displacement of sustentacular fragment are still unclear. Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures with calcaneocuboid joint involvement are the most common type of calcaneal fracture.

Activated astrocytes and their associated inflammatory responses play critical roles in the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Gastrodin (GAS), an anti-inflammatory herbal agent, is known to suppress microglial activation. Here, we investigate whether it exerts a similar effect on activated astrocytes and whether it acts through S100B/RAGE-Smad3 signaling.
