Article Synopsis
  • Pyrosequencing analysis in a greenhouse study showed that different levels of nitrogen fertilization (low, medium, high) significantly impacted the microbial community structure associated with a long-term monoculture of lettuce, varying across summer and winter seasons.* -
  • The control group (no fertilization) exhibited a higher abundance of Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Chloroflexi, while nitrogen fertilization led to seasonal shifts, with Firmicutes dominating in summer and Bacteroidetes in winter.* -
  • Comprehensive analyses indicated that nitrogen availability and specific nitrogen forms (NO3(-)-N and NH4(+)-N) were key factors driving changes in the bacterial community, showcasing the relationship between nutrient levels and

Background: Hypersensitivity diseases are associated with many severe human illnesses, including leprosy and tuberculosis. Emerging evidence suggests that the pathogenesis and pathological mechanisms of treating these diseases may be attributable to sphingolipid metabolism.

Methods: High performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was employed to target and measure 43 core sphingolipids in the plasma, kidneys, livers and spleens of BALB/c mice from four experimental groups: control, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) model, DTH+triptolide, and control+triptolide.
