Article Synopsis
- Sediment re-suspension significantly impacts nitrogen release and greenhouse gas emissions in shallow urban waters, but the effects of repeated re-suspension and UV light exposure are not fully understood.
- The study tested three conditions: sediment re-suspension alone, re-suspension with UV light, and UV light exposure only, discovering that both re-suspension and UV altered sediment properties and nitrogen dynamics.
- Findings indicated that UV exposure led to increased dissolved nitrogen levels, while re-suspension heightened water turbidity and nitrification, highlighting their roles in nitrogen transformations and contributing to water eutrophication and greenhouse gas emissions.
Recent studies show that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban landscape water are significant and cannot be overlooked, underscoring the need to develop effective strategies for mitigating GHG production from global freshwater systems. Calcium peroxide (CaO) is commonly used as an eco-friendly reagent for controlling eutrophication in water bodies, but whether CaO can reduce GHG emissions remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of CaO dosage on the production of methane (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO) in urban landscape water under anoxic conditions during summer.

Our study determined that TH17/Treg cells were imbalanced in animal models. Based on our interest in the mechanism underlying TH17/Treg cell imbalance in nonalcoholic fatty liver mice, we conducted a joint bioinformatics analysis to further investigate this process.

Methods: Totally 466 patients undergoing partial hepatectomy were enrolled, including 401 with chronic hepatitis B and 65 without fibrosis pathologically. All patients received elastography and got liver stiffness measurement (LSM) 2-3 days before surgery.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to develop a nude mouse model of orthotopic liver transplantation of HCCLM3 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell xenografts and the use of imaging and histology to evaluate tumor development and progression. MATERIAL AND METHODS HCCLM3 cells were injected subcutaneously into 25 healthy male athymic BALB/c (nu/nu) nude mice. The tumors that developed were transplanted into the liver of a new set of nude mice.

Methods: Clinical data of 155 hepatitis B-related cirrhosis patients and their liver and spleen stiffness (L-SWE and S-SWE, respectively) were collected. The diagnostic performances of L-SWE, S-SWE, the liver stiffness-spleen diameter to platelet ratio score (LSPS) and portal hypertension risk score were evaluated.
