Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Shift Soil Bacterial Community Composition and Reduce Soil Ammonia Volatilization and Nitrous Oxide Emissions.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) establish mutualistic relationships with the majority of terrestrial plants, increasing plant uptake of soil nitrogen (N) in exchange for photosynthates. And may influence soil ammonia (NH) volatilization and nitrous oxide (NO) emissions directly by improving plant N uptake, and/or indirectly by modifying soil bacterial community composition for the soil C availability increasing. However, the effects of AMF on soil NH volatilization and NO emissions and their underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Ruthenium tris(σ-B-H) borate complexes: synthesis, structure, and reactivity.

The coordination of the B-H bond to a transition metal is fundamentally intriguing due to its connection with the transition metal-mediated B-H bond activation mechanism and catalysis. Most of the reported examples are σ-borane/borate complexes containing one or two σ-B-H bonds. However, examples of compounds containing three σ-B-H bonds are still much rarer.

Mechanisms of the Jian Pi Tiao Gan Yin in the treatment of simple obesity revealed by network pharmacology.

Background: This study sought to examine the mechanism of the Jian Pi Tiao Gan Yin in the treatment of obesity by network pharmacology.

Methods: The active components and corresponding targets of the Jian Pi Tiao Gan Yin were identified using the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform, and the obesity-related targets were acquired from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. The drug and disease targets were also identified.

Jian Pi Tiao Gan Yin alleviates obesity phenotypes through mTORC1/SREBP1 signaling and .

Background: Obesity has been considered as a leading cause of multiple metabolic syndromes, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension cardiovascular diseases. Jian Pi Tiao Gan Yin (JPTGY), a Chinese herb preparation, is used to treat obesity of liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency. The mechanism of action of JPTGY in obesity remains unclear.

The relationship between insulin resistance, adiponectin and C-reactive protein and vascular endothelial injury in diabetic patients with coronary heart disease.

Relationship between insulin resistance, adiponectin and C-reactive protein and vascular endothelial injury in diabetic patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) was investigated. Clinical data of 72 patients with diabetes mellitus diagnosed in Weifang People's Hospital (Weifang, China) from October 2015 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Thirty patients were combined with CHD and 42 patients were not.
