Underrated risk of antibiotic resistance genes dissemination mediated by bioaerosols released from anaerobic biological wastewater treatment system.

Antibiotic resistance has been recognized as one of the most prevalent public health problems. The bioaerosol-mediated spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an important but underrated pathway. Therefore, this work investigated the comprehensive resistome and pathogen-induced risk in bioaerosols released from anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process under antibiotic stress.

Hybridizing Mg-Fe Layered Double Hydroxide with Pectin Natural Polymer for Organic Ligand-Responsive Phosphate Release: An Innovative Controlled-Release Phosphorus Fertilizer.

Phosphorus (P) is vital for plant growth, but its agricultural use is limited by soil fixation and environmental loss. This study developed an organic ligand-responsive phosphate release system by hybridizing magnesium-iron-layered double hydroxides (Mg-Fe LDH) with pectin from apple and citrus (pectin-A/C). Structural properties and phosphate (PO) release of LDH hybrids with different concentrations of metal precursors (0.

Aeroponic Technology for Accelerated Weathering of Extraterrestrial Regolith to Extract Plant Essential Nutrients and Generate Arable Soils.

Advancements in off-world food and fiber production should seek to utilize regolith as a source of nutrients and prepare it for use as a solid plant growth substrate. Towards this goal, aeroponic biowaste streams containing both inorganic nutrients and root system efflux from plants provide an opportunity for accelerated weathering and enhancement of extraterrestrial soils. To test this hypothesis, an aeroponic system was built that contained Martian simulant (Mars Mojave Simulant-2; MMS-2), inert sand, and a no-filter control to evaluate the in-line filters for simultaneous mineral weathering and recycling of biowastes from wheat.

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for differentiating benign and malignant superficial enlarged lymph nodes.

Background: In many clinical situations, it is critical to exclude or identify abnormally lymph nodes (LNs). The nature of superficial abnormally LNs is closely related to the stage, treatment, and prognosis of the disease. Ultrasound (US) is an important method for examining superficial LNs due to its cheap and safe characteristics.

Altered cortical thickness and structural covariance networks in chronic low back pain.

Background: Despite regional brain structural changes having been reported in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), the topological properties of structural covariance networks (SCNs), which refer to the organization of the SCNs, remain unclear. This study applied graph theoretical analysis to explore the alterations of the topological properties of SCNs, aiming to comprehend the integration and separation of SCNs in patients with CLBP.

Methods: A total of 38 patients with CLBP and 38 healthy controls (HCs), balanced for age and sex, were scanned using three-dimensional T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

Altered volume of the amygdala subregions in patients with chronic low back pain.

Background: Neuroimaging studies have suggested a pivotal role for the amygdala involvement in chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, the relationship between the amygdala subregions and CLBP has not yet been delineated. This study aimed to analyze whether the amygdala subregions were linked to the development of CLBP.

Correlation between plasma PSGL-1 and FIGO stage, tumor metastasis, and survival in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Plasma circulating P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) levels and its clinical correlation in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are unknown. The study determined plasma PSGL-1 levels in EOC patients and investigated its relationship with clinicopathological factors and prognosis. Plasma PSGL-1 levels were measured using ELISA in 69 patients with EOC, 34 patients with benign ovarian cystadenoma, and 36 healthy controls.

Myopia: Its Status and Environmental Correlations Among School Students in Fushun, China.

Our objective was to investigate the status and influence of myopia among primary school students in Fushun, Liaoning Province, China. We aimed to provide a theoretical and epistemological basis for implementing myopia prevention initiatives. We employed cluster sampling and surveyed 5216 primary school students from grades 1-6 across eight primary schools in Fushun City.

Real-world efficacy and safety of TACE plus camrelizumab and apatinib in patients with HCC (CHANCE2211): a propensity score matching study.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus camrelizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed death-1, and apatinib for patients with intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a real-world setting.

Methods: A total of 450 patients pathologically diagnosed with mPTMC were enrolled, including 348 patients in the modeling group and 102 patients in the validation group.

[Spatiotemporal Pattern and Driving Force Analysis of Ecological Environmental Quality in Typical Ecological Areas of the Yellow River Basin from 1990 to 2020].

Scientific evaluation of ecological environmental quality is the premise of realizing regional ecological sustainable development. Taking Landsat series satellite images from 1990 to 2020 as the data source, on the basis of the entropy remote sensing ecological index (E-RSEI), combining the Mann-Kendall significance test, Theil-Sen Median analysis, Hurst exponent, and stability analysis, the spatial-temporal variation characteristics of ecological environmental quality in typical ecological areas of the Yellow River Basin were analyzed in the context of multi-spatiotemporal scales. In addition, the effects of eight environmental and human factors on the change in E-RSEI were quantified using a geodetector.
