A dual bacterial alliance removed erythromycin residues by immobilizing on activated carbon.

Removing erythromycin from the environment is a major challenge. In this study, a dual microbial consortium (Delftia acidovorans ERY-6A and Chryseobacterium indologenes ERY-6B) capable of degrading erythromycin was isolated, and the erythromycin biodegradation products were studied. Coconut shell activated carbon was modified and its adsorption characteristics and erythromycin removal efficiency of the immobilized cells were studied.

Circular RNAs Regulate Vascular Remodelling in Pulmonary Hypertension.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a newly identified type of noncoding RNA molecule with a unique closed-loop structure. circRNAs are widely expressed in different tissues and developmental stages of many species, participating in many important pathophysiological processes and playing an important role in the occurrence and development of diseases. This article reviews the discovery, characteristics, formation, and biological function of circRNAs.

Efficient degradation of tylosin by Klebsiella oxytoca TYL-T1.

Tylosin is widely used in livestock; however, the release of tylosin through animal manure can cause serious environmental problems. In this study, a new tylosin-degrading strain, TYL-T1, was isolated. Its phylogenetic similarity to Klebsiella oxytoca was found to be 99.

Regulation of circular RNAs act as ceRNA in a hypoxic pulmonary hypertension rat model.

To explore potential critical genes and identify circular RNAs (circRNAs) that act as the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in a hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) rat model. Constructed rat model, and a bioinformatics method was used to analyse differentially expressed (DE) genes and construct a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA regulatory network. Then, qRT-PCR was used to verify.

Can a one-on-one mentorship program reduce the turnover rate of new graduate nurses in China? A longitudinal study.

Nursing graduates experience "reality shock" upon entering the workplace as well as face challenges and stress during their transition from nursing student to qualified nurse. The high turnover rate of new graduate nurses not only increases an organization's human resources costs but also results in a shortage of nurses. In particular, a poor experience during the transition from nursing student to qualified nurse can lead to significant turnover.

Serum cardiac troponin elevation predicts mortality in patients with pulmonary hypertension: A meta-analysis of eight cohort studies.
