Associations of short-term exposure to air pollution with risk of pulmonary space-occupying lesions morbidity based on a time-series study.

Background: Pulmonary space-occupying lesions are typical chronic pulmonary diseases that contribute significantly to healthcare resource use and impose a large disease burden in China. A time-series ecological trend study was conducted to investigate the associations between environmental factors and hospitalizations for pulmonary space-occupying lesions in North of China from 2014 to 2022.

Methods: The DLNM was used to quantify the association of environmental factors with lung cancer admissions.

Gaps in knowledge and management of iron deficiency in heart failure: a nationwide survey of cardiologists in China.

Background: Heart failure (HF) guidelines recommend routine testing for iron deficiency (ID) and, for those with ID, intravenous iron if the left ventricular ejection fraction is <50%. Guideline adherence to these recommendations by cardiologists in China is unknown.

Methods And Results: An independent academic web-based survey was designed and distributed via social networks to cardiologists across China.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of bisnoralcohol derivatives as novel IRF4 inhibitors for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is specifically overexpressed in multiple myeloma (MM) and mediates MM progression and survival, making it an emerging target for MM treatment. However, no chemical entity with a defined structure capable of directly binding to and inhibiting IRF4 has been reported. We screened our small library of steroid analogs and identified bisnoralcohol (BA) derivative 18 as a novel hit compound capable of inhibiting IRF4, with an IC of 13.

Simultaneous determination of vegetable oil frying frequency and peroxide value based on the three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and machine learning.

The practice of deep-frying introduces various health concerns. Assessing the quality of frying oil is paramount. This study employs three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy to evaluate the peroxide value of vegetable oils after varying frying times.

Deciphering the driving mechanism of microbial community for rapid stabilization and lignocellulose degradation during waste semi-aerobic bioreactor landfilling with multifunctional microbial inoculum.

Owing to the massive refractory lignocellulose and leachate-organic loads, the stabilization of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill is often prolonged, resulting in environmental burdens. Herein, various assembled multifunctional microbial inoculums (MMIs) were introduced into the semi-aerobic bioreactor landfill (SABL) to investigate the bioaugmentation impacts. Compared to control (CK) and other MMIs treatments (G1-G3), LD + LT + DM inoculation (G4) significantly increased volatile solids degradation (9.
