Not all antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose an ecological risk to their host animals. A standard should be developed to study which types of ARGs posed an ecological risk to wild animals under human disturbances (HDs). In this study, the golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) were used as sentinel species.

The highest risk level of ARGs is reflected in pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria (PARBs). Metagenomics was used to analyze the characteristics of PARBs in river sediments.

To date, whether CTRP6 has a role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unexplored. This work aimed to investigate the potential role and mechanism of CTRP6 in myocardial I/R injury through in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Objective: This study aims to explore the effects of miR-139 on myocardial cell injury induced by oxidative stress and its mechanisms.
Methods: H9c2 cells were used in this study. They were divided into control group, H2O2 group, H2O2+miR-139-5-p NC group and H2O2+miR-139-5-p mimics group.
