The prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in agricultural soils has garnered significant attention. However, the long-term impacts of various nitroge (N)-substitution fertilization regimes on the distribution of soil ARGs and their dominant drivers in a subtropical triple-cropping system remain largely unexplored. This study employed a metagenomic approach to analyze soil ARGs, microbial communities, mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and viruses from a maize-maize-cabbage rotation field experiment with five different fertilization regimes.

With an increasing focus on understanding narcolepsy's prevalence, associated conditions, and therapeutic strategies, there's a notable absence of bibliometric analyses summarizing trends in research and identifying emerging areas of focus within this field.
Aim: To conduct a bibliometric analysis to investigate the current status and frontiers of narcolepsy.
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare hematological neoplasm with poor prognosis, posing a significant clinical challenge due to the absence of effective and standardized treatments. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 162 MS patients treated at 12 centers to compare outcomes between intensive chemotherapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Our analysis revealed that allo-HSCT demonstrated superior overall survival (OS) within the initial 36 months compared to intensive chemotherapy alone (p = 0.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hospital-made resuscitation pack, a Chinese medicinal herbal compound formula designed to enhance recovery in post-bronchoscopy patients.
Methods: In this randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, eligible patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to either the treatment or control groups. The patients in the treatment group applied the resuscitation pack, which contained aromatic compounded Chinese herbs.
Venous thromboembolism, which includes deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, is the third most common vascular disease in the world and seriously threatens the lives of patients. Currently, the effect of conventional treatments on DVT is limited. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an important role in the resolution and recanalization of DVT, but an unfavorable microenvironment reduces EPC function.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 109 patients (176 TMJs) with TMJ OA were included. Two consecutive CBCT images for the same patient were registered and fused.
An effective approach for glucose and furfural production by converting cellulose and hemicelluloses from corn stalk in a biphasic system of molten salt hydrate (MSH) and organic solvent using HSO as catalyst was reported. Results showed that the system with LiBr·3HO and dichloromethane (DCM) had excellent performance in cellulose and hemicelluloses conversion. Under the optimal reaction conditions (corn stalk:LiBr·3HO:DCM ratio = 0.

Aim: To establish reference intervals for BTMs and to investigate the correlations between BTMs and bone mineral density (BMD) in Chinese older adults.
Subjects And Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 2511 Chinese subjects aged over 50 yrs residing in Zhenjiang, Southeast China.
Background: The aim of this study was to perform hemodynamic simulations of a three-dimension ideal inferior vena cava-iliac vein model with artificial stenosis to determine the degree of stenosis that requires clinical intervention.
Methods: Four three-dimension stenosis models (30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% stenosis) were constructed using commercial software (Solidworks). The inlet flow rates were acquired from previous literatures to perform the hemodynamic simulations.
The developing of pretreatment method to break the biomass barrier of lignocellulosic is a challenging task for achieve high value utilization. A fast microwave-assisted choline chloride/1,2-propanediol/methyl isobutyl ketone biphasic system was constructed for pretreating Eucalyptus to the production of furfural and cellulose-rich residues and the extraction of lignin. Results showed that the combination of AlCl·6HO and HCl had the best catalytic ability for furfural production among the examined catalysts.

They mainly originate from multivesicular bodies formed by intracellular invagination of lysosomal microparticles, and released into the extracellular matrix after fusion of multivesicular bodies with cell membrane. Studies have shown that exosomes contain a variety of active molecules, such as proteins, lipids and RNAs (such as mRNA, miRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, etc.
