[Antibiotic Pollution and Its Effects on the Spatiotemporal Variation in Microbial Community Structure and Functional Genes in Sediment of Baiyangdian Lake].

Microbial communities play an important role in water quality regulation and biogeochemical cycles in lakes, and their community structure and function are affected by environmental factors. Therein, antibiotics affect the abundance, diversity, composition, and function of microbial communities. In this study, Baiyangdian Lake was selected as the study area.

[Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Different River Sediments in Typical Cities: A Case Study of Shijiazhuang].

Rivers are important reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, most current studies have focused on the temporal and spatial distribution, and data on the differences in the species and abundance of ARGs between urban and rural rivers is still lacking for certain areas. In view of this, two rural rivers and three urban rivers were selected in Shijiazhuang City.

[Spatial-temporal Changes and Driving Factors of Soil Microbial Communities in a Typical City of North China Plain].

The structure and function of microbial communities are affected by several environmental factors. To clarify the spatial-temporal changes and main influencing factors of soil microbial communities in a typical pharmaceutical city, it is urgent to study the spatial-temporal changes in microbial communities in soils for typical cities. Shijiazhuang City was selected as the study area, and 12 sampling sites were selected.

[Source Apportionment and Source-specific Risk of Typical Antibiotics in Baiyangdian Lake].

The current situation of antibiotic pollution in lakes is critical. At present, most of the previous studies on antibiotics in lakes have focused on the spatiotemporal distribution and risk assessment, while less attention has been paid to the source apportionment. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine the concentration of tetracyclines (TCs), sulfonamides (SAs), and quinolones (QNs) in the samples.

[Source Analysis and Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in the Groundwater of Shijiazhuang, a Typical City in North China Plain].

Increasing attention has been paid to the heavy metal pollution in groundwater. The source analysis and risk assessment of heavy metals will provide data and method support for the targeted control of heavy metal pollution in groundwater. In this study, 20 sampling sites were selected in Shijiazhuang City.

[Spatial-temporal Distribution and Risk Assessment of Quinolones Antibiotics in Soil of Shijiazhuang City].

Due to their importance in human medicine, quinolones (QNs), as a typical class of antibiotics, are considered to be the "highest priority critically important antimicrobials" by the World Health Organization (WHO). In order to clarify the spatial-temporal variation and risk of QNs in soil, 18 representative topsoil samples were respectively collected in September 2020 (autumn) and June 2021 (summer). The contents of QNs antibiotics in soil samples were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and the ecological risk and resistance risk were calculated using the risk quotient method (RQ).

Xanthones from (Michx.) Hulten Ameliorate Colorectal Carcinoma via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway.

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a kind of malignant tumor closely related to ulcerative colitis. Xanthone derivatives are one of the most promising therapeutic drugs which have been used in phase I/II clinical trials for cancer therapy. Our previous study indicated that the aerial parts of Michx.

[Spatial Distribution of Quinolone Antibiotics and Its Correlation Relationship with Microbial Community in Soil of Shijiazhuang City].

Microbial communities are an important component of soil ecosystems. Long-term low content antibiotic pollution will affect the structure and function of microbial communities in soil. Therefore, Shijiazhuang City was selected as the study area, in which twelve sample points were set up in September 2020.

[Distribution Coefficient of QNs in Urban Typical Water and Its Main Environmental Influencing Factors].

Sediment is the main storage medium of antibiotics in a water environment, and a growing body of research has focused on the distribution behavior of antibiotics in water-sediment. However, most of the previous studies were based on laboratory simulation, and less attention was paid to the distribution behavior of antibiotics in a natural water environment and its correlation with environmental factors. Thus, the surface water and sediment in Shijiazhuang were taken as the research object for this study.

Interaction between gut microbiota dysbiosis and lung infection as gut-lung axis caused by Streptococcus suis in mouse model.

Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is an important zoonotic pathogen threatening the global pig farming industry. It causes respiratory and digestive tract infections simultaneously in pigs.

Protective effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes on preserving the morphology and angiogenesis of placenta in rats with preeclampsia.

Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (hucMSC-Ex) on placental tissue and angiogenesis in rats with preeclampsia (PE).

Method: The expression of MSC surface markers were identified by flow cytometry. Alizarin red staining and oil red O staining were used to examine osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of hucMSCs.
