The growing recognition of mixed and native broadleaf plantations as a means of offsetting the detrimental impacts of pure plantations on soil fertility and the wider ecological environment is accompanied by a clear and undeniable positive impact on forest ecosystem functions. Nevertheless, the question of how mixed and native broadleaf plantations enhance soil multifunctionality (SMF) and the mechanisms driving soil fungal communities remains unanswered. In this study, three types of mixed and native broadleaf plantations were selected and compared with neighboring evergreen broadleaf forests and pure plantations.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ranking as the second-leading cause of global mortality among malignancies, poses a substantial burden on public health worldwide. Anoikis, a type of programmed cell death, serves as a barrier against the dissemination of cancer cells to distant organs, thereby constraining the progression of cancer. Nevertheless, the mechanism of genes related to anoikis in HCC is yet to be elucidated.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Pancreatic cancer (PC), characterized by its aggressive nature and low patient survival rate, remains a challenging malignancy. Anoikis, a process inhibiting the spread of metastatic cancer cells, is closely linked to cancer progression and metastasis through anoikis-related genes. Nonetheless, the precise mechanism of action of these genes in PC remains unclear.

A new prognostic scoring model for colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is developed in this study based on the genes involved in tumor cell-mediated killing of T cells (GSTTKs), accurately stratifying COAD patients, thus improving the current status of personalized treatment.
Method: The GEO and TCGA databases served as the sources of the data for the COAD cohort.
Background: Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a serious clinical complication of kidney injury. This research dealt with investigating the hub genes and pathways associated with renal IRI.
Methods: The transcriptome expression dataset of mouse renal ischemia samples (GSE39548) was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.
Current research suggests that continuous aerobic exercise can be effective in improving vascular endothelial function, while the effect between different intensities and durations of exercise is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of different durations and intensities of aerobic exercise on vascular endothelial function in different populations. Searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases.

Zinc titanate phosphors containing Eu/ Mn as active ions were synthesized by using the solid-state method. XRD patterns of the powders confirmed that the samples were a mixture of cubic ZnTiO and hexagonal ZnTiO phases. The luminous intensity of ZTO: Euphosphors and ZTO: Mn phosphors both increased with the increase of doping concentration, reaching the maximum at 2 mol% Eu and 0.

Purpose: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are practically essential in radiotherapy to damage cancer cells; however, they are always inadequate for some malignant entities. Here, we designed a biodegradable mesoporous silica decorated with hemin and glucose oxidase (GOD@Hemin-MSN) to generate a chemodynamic therapy in order to enhance the killing capacity of radiotherapy.
Methods: Mesoporous silica, as an outstanding drug carrier, can deliver hemin and glucose oxidase to the tumor site.
While radiotherapy remains the leading clinical treatment for many tumors, its efficacy can be significantly hampered by the insensitivity of cells in the S phase of the cell cycle to such irradiation. Here, we designed a highly targeted drug delivery platform in which exosomes were loaded with the FDA-approved anti-tumor drug camptothecin (CPT) which is capable of regulating cell cycle. The utilized exosomes were isolated from patient tumors, enabling the personalized treatment of individuals to ensure better therapeutic outcomes.

Background: Glioma is the most prevalent brain tumor with high mortality and morbidity and the prognosis of patients remains very poor. Glioma therapy is largely limited by the extraordinary invasive capability in glioma and the lack of valuable biomarkers of LGG and GBM. So it is urgent and important for us to identify valuable biomarkers to treat glioma patients.

Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database the relationship between the immune infiltrate and the NUP62CL was explored and the value of the NUP62CL expression in the prognosis and diagnosis LUAD was examined. Using the logistic regression and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test the relationship between the NUP62CL and the clinico-pathological features was analyzed.
