Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, threatening the security of aquatic organisms. Identifying the emission node and hot spot of MPs holds significant importance in the pollution control of MPs. Wastewater is widely recognized as sink and source of MPs, while the direct evidence is insufficient.

This is a retrospective cohort study. Clinical and pathological data of 588 patients with GCLM treated at the Department of General Surgery, First Medical Center, People's Liberation Army General Hospital, from January 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected.

The multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model is applied throughout the entire treatment process. In addition to the previous RECORD study, which was based on the C-GCLM classification system developed by our team, there is a lack of recent data on patient baseline characteristics, clinical treatment and efficacy evaluation.

Surface prelithiation, particularly through the molten salt method, is critical in enhancing spent cathode repair during high-temperature annealing. However, the sluggish Li+ transport kinetics, which relies on thermally driven processes in the traditional molten salt methods, limit the prelithiation efficiency and regeneration of spent cathodes.

- Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of low back pain, and this study explores the potential of tomatidine (Td) as a treatment option by examining its effects on nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) and a lumbar instability model.
- The results show that Td enhances the production of extracellular matrix (ECM), decreases its breakdown, and mitigates oxidative stress and ferroptosis in NPCs, which are crucial processes related to IDD.
- Td demonstrates a protective effect against IDD through the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway, indicating it could be a valuable therapeutic candidate for managing IDD.
