[Effect of Microplastics on Soil Water Infiltration and Evaporation].

In order to explore the influences of microplastics with different abundances (0.5%, 1%, and 2% of the dry weight of the soil) and different types (PP, PVC, and PE) on the moisture infiltration and evaporation of the soil, we adopted the method of indoor soil column simulation to elaborate the influences of the microplastics with different abundances and different types on the moisture accumulated infiltration time, moisture containing rate, wetting front, and evaporation characteristics, among which the A1, A2, and A3; Q1, Q2, and Q3; and Z1, Z2, and Z3 respectively represented the experimental number of PE, PVC, and PP under the abundances of 0.5%, 1%, and 2%.

Characterization and function of biomarkers in sunitinib-resistant renal carcinoma cells.

Objective: Sunitinib is a first-line drug in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, but patients will inevitably develop drug resistance after 6-15 months of systematic treatment, which seriously affects the prognosis in KIRC.

Methods: During the study, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to perform a systematic bioinformatics analysis,so that we could determine the genes (DEGs) which are differentially expressed between sunitinib-sensitive and sunitinib-resistant RCC (SRRC) cells.

Results: A total of 31 DEGs were identified.
