Regulatory roles of APS reductase in Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2 as a response mechanism to cadmium immobilization in rice.

Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2, a functional microorganism with potential utilization, has the ability to immobilize soil cadmium. In this study, the regulatory gene cysH, as a rate-limiting enzyme in the sulfur metabolic pathway, was selected for functional analysis affecting cadmium immobilization in soil.

[Predictive value of sequential organ failure assessment on 28-day mortality in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome].

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) for 28-day mortality in patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS).

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 125 patients with PCAS who were treated in Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of Wenzhou People's Hospital from July 2016 to July 2021. Clinical data were collected, including age, gender, underlying diseases, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), SOFA score on admission to EICU and 28-day mortality.

Comparative genomic analysis of Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2 reveals insights into the molecular mechanism of microbial immobilization of heavy metals.

Background: In our previous study, Citrobacter sp. XT1-2-2 was isolated from high cadmium-contaminated soils, and demonstrated an excellent ability to decrease the bioavailability of cadmium in the soil and inhibit cadmium uptake in rice. In addition, the strain XT1-2-2 could significantly promote rice growth and increase rice biomass.

Relationship between serum lactate dehydrogenase and mortality after cardiac arrest: A retrospective cohort study.

Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been identified as an independent risk factor for predicting all-cause mortality in patients with multiple diseases. However, the prognostic value of LDH levels in post-cardiac arrest patients remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the association between LDH and mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients after cardiac arrest.
