Microplastic characteristics in rain/snow sampled from two northern Chinese cities.

Atmospheric precipitation is recognized as a significant source of environmental microplastics, especially in inland waters and remote areas. However, due to the limited availability of existing data, further information on microplastics in precipitation is essential. Therefore, this study aims to elucidate the contamination of microplastics in both snowfall and rainfall while identifying potential factors that may influence their presence during atmospheric deposition.

Study on the Function of in Tomato Defense against .

WRKY transcription factors (TFs) can participate in plant biological stress responses and play important roles. was found to be differentially expressed in the - and -resistant tomato lines by RNA-seq and may serve as a key node for disease resistance regulation. This study used RNAi to determine whether silencing could influence the sensitivity of 'M82' (/)-susceptible lines to .

Effectiveness of integrated care for older adults with depression and hypertension in rural China: A cluster randomized controlled trial.

Background: Effectiveness of integrated care management for common, comorbid physical and mental disorders has been insufficiently examined in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We tested hypotheses that older adults treated in rural Chinese primary care clinics with integrated care management of comorbid depression and hypertension (HTN) would show greater improvements in depression symptom severity and HTN control than those who received usual care.

Methods And Findings: The study, registered with ClinicalTrials.

Singlet oxygen mediated the selective removal of oxytetracycline in C/FeC/Fe system as compared to chloramphenicol.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for Fe is limited because of the formed iron corrosion products. In this study, C/FeC/Fe composite which produces enhanced ROS has been specifically designed and fabricated to remove typical antibiotics (i.e.

Alkaloids from nux vomica suppresses colon cancer cell growth through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Brucine and Strychnine are alkaloids isolated from the seeds of Strychnos nux vomica L., which have long been used as a traditional medicine for the treatment of tumor. However, the effect of Brucine and Strychnine on colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlying molecular mechanism remain unclear.
