Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how adding specific microbial consortia enhanced the cleanup of uranium-contaminated groundwater through processes like bioreduction and biomineralization, with two experimental groups testing reducing and phosphate-solubilizing functions.
- - The addition of β-glycerophosphate spurred microbial growth and improved key functional microbes in both experimental groups, leading to significantly higher rates of uranium removal and the formation of U-phosphate precipitates compared to a control group.
- - Notably, the reducing consortium in one group facilitated the conversion of U(VI) to a less toxic form, U(IV), illustrating that bioaugmentation effectively accelerates uranium remediation in contaminated sites.
Correlations of podocyte injury with glucose regulated protein 78 expression and proteinuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Objective: To explore the podocyte injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and analyze its relationship with glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and proteinuria.
Methods: The clinical data of 48 patients diagnosed as DN by renal biopsy were reviewed. All patients were divided into two groups according to proteinuria (>3.

Objective: To investigate the effects of rapamycin on cholesterol homeostasis and secretory function of 3T3-L1 cells.
Methods: The in vitro cultured 3T3-L1 cells (preadipocytes) were divided into control group, rapamycin 50 nmol/L group, rapamycin 100 nmol/L group, and rapamycin 200 nmol/L group. Intracellular cholesterol level was measured by oil red O staining and high performance liquid chromatography.
Under anaerobic conditions, the characteristics of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) were applied to reduce U(VI) under different temperature, pH values, U(VI) concentrations and coexisting ions. The results showed that the optimum reduction condition was the temperature 35 degrees C, pH 7.0 and U(VI) concentration 25 mg x L(-1).
