The transportation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in manure-soil-plant continuums poses risks to human health. Horizontal gene transfer, particularly for bacterial transformation, is an important way for ARG dissemination. As crucial components in soils, iron oxides impacted the fates of various abiotic and biotic contaminants due to their active properties.

Whether GQDs influence ARG spread needs investigation, since the resulting development of multidrug-resistant pathogens would threaten human health. This study investigates the effect of GQDs on the horizontal transfer of extracellular ARGs (i.

- The study explores how increasing antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in fertilizer-amended soils can enter food chains, threatening human health, particularly through a soil-Chinese cabbage system.
- The research found that while nitrogen forms (NH-N and NO-N) influence the abundance of certain transferable ARGs in soil and vegetables, they do not significantly alter their distribution patterns within the plant tissues.
- It revealed that both children and adults could consume considerable amounts of ARGs from Chinese cabbage, indicating the need for understanding how agricultural practices like nitrogen application affect these genes' distribution and potential human intake.
Background: Postoperative functional training for fracture or osteoarthritis is mainly focused on functional self-exercise, which aims to recover the function of the lower limbs.
Purpose: To compare the function and life quality recovery in patients with fracture or arthritis treated with novel muscle training device (NMT) or conventional rehabilitation training (CRT) following surgery.
Patients And Methods: A total of 32 fracture patients were randomly divided into the NMT or the CRT groups.
