[Effect of Deep Fertilization with Slow/Controlled Release Fertilizer on N Fate in Clayey Soil Wheat Field].

Clayey soil seriously affects water-holding capacity and nutrient movement. Adopting appropriate agronomic measures to optimize the distribution of soil inorganic nitrogen (SIN) and reduce the nitrogen (N) loss in this soil is the key to agricultural sustainable development. To clarify the effect of deep fertilization of slow/controlled release fertilizer with sowing on N loss in a clayey soil wheat field, two types of fertilizers, conventional fertilizer (CN) and slow/controlled release fertilizer (RCU), were selected in this study.

Clinical characteristics of the delta variant of COVID-19 in Jingmen, China.

There has been an epidemic of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) delta variant in Jingmen, China, and the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of all patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 delta variant in an epidemic are rarely reported. All the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients diagnosed in Jingmen in August 2021 were enrolled in this study. Epidemiological data and clinical characteristics were analyzed.

Effect of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on Prognosis and Blood Gas Level in COPD Patients Complicated with Respiratory Failure.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease caused by chronic bronchitis, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has great advantages in its treatment. Here, we explore the effect of NIPPV on prognosis and blood gas level in COPD patients complicated with respiratory failure (RF).

LncRNA PVT1 accelerates LPS-induced septic acute kidney injury through targeting miR-17-5p and regulating NF-κB pathway.

Background: Long noncoding RNA PVT1 is associated with diverse human diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). However, our understandings of PVT1 on septic AKI are limited.

Methods: The septic AKI model was constructed through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment.

Curcumin protects BEAS‑2B cells from PM‑induced oxidative stress and inflammation by activating NRF2/antioxidant response element pathways.

Fine particulate matter (PM) with an average aerodynamic diameter of <2.5 µm can cause severe lung injury. Oxidative stress and inflammation are considered the main outcomes of PM exposure.
