Background: The hsa_circ_0004771 derived from NRIP1 (called circ_NRIP1) is a recently identified oncogenic circRNA. Here, we intended to investigate the role and mechanism of circ_NRIP1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a prevalent and aggressive type of esophageal cancer.
Methods: Expression of circ_NRIP1, miRNA-595-5p (miR-595) and semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D) was detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting.
Sulfonamides (SAs) are widespread in soils, and their dissipation behavior is important for their fate, risk assessment, and pollution control. In this work, we investigated the dissipation behavior of different SAs in a soil under aerobic condition, focusing on revealing the relationship between overall dissipation (without sterilization and in dark) and individual abiotic (sorption, hydrolysis)/biotic (with sterilization and in dark) factors and taxonomy/function of microbiomes. The results showed that dissipation of all SAs in the soil followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with dissipation time at 50% removal (DT) of 2.

- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ginger-partitioned moxibustion in treating chemotherapy-induced leukopenia and improving patient quality of life.
- - In a multi-center, randomized controlled trial involving 221 patients, the test group receiving moxibustion showed significantly higher cure and effectiveness rates compared to the control group receiving oral Chinese medicine (84.1% vs. 35.2%).
- - The results suggest that ginger-partitioned moxibustion is a reliable and superior treatment option for managing leukopenia caused by chemotherapy, with improved clinical symptoms and no reported adverse effects.
