Comparative research on nucleocapsid and spike glycoprotein as the rapid immunodetection targets of COVID-19 and establishment of immunoassay strips.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) poses a significant challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the outbreak of COVID-19 has been a pandemic that infected more than 25.32 million people and caused more than 848.

Using organic fertilizers to increase crop yield, economic growth, and soil quality in a temperate farmland.

We used a constant total N application base rate to conduct a two-year field experiment comparing the effects of three organic fertilizers (rapeseed meal (RSM), soybean meal (SBM), and cattle manure (CM)) on the crop yield, economic growth, and soil quality of a winter wheat-summer maize rotation system. Winter wheat and summer maize in rapeseed meal treatment (RSMT), soybean meal treatment (SBMT), and cattle manure treatment (CMT) showed yield increases of 161%, 299%, and 256%, respectively, when compared to no organic fertilizer treatment (CK) ( < 0.05).

Responses of weed community, soil nutrients, and microbes to different weed management practices in a fallow field in Northern China.

The long-term use of herbicides to remove weeds in fallow croplands can impair soil biodiversity, affect the quality of agricultural products, and threaten human health. Consequently, the identification of methods that can effectively limit the weed seed bank and maintain fallow soil fertility without causing soil pollution for the next planting is a critical task. In this study, four weeding treatments were established based on different degrees of disturbance to the topsoil: natural fallow (N), physical clearance (C), deep tillage (D), and sprayed herbicide (H).

Dual-emission ratiometric nanoprobe for visual detection of Cu(II) and intracellular fluorescence imaging.

Copper is an essential mineral nutrient for the human body. However, excessive levels of copper accumulated in the body can cause some diseases. Therefore, it is great significant to establish a sensitive bioprobe to recognize copper ions (Cu) in vivo.

Comparisons of weed community, soil health and economic performance between wheat-maize and garlic-soybean rotation systems under different weed managements.

This study compared the impacts of different weed managements on weed community, soil health and economic performance between the wheat-maize (WM) and garlic-soybean (GS) rotations. A total of four treatments (HT, tillage without herbicide; HT, without both herbicide and tillage; HT, both herbicide and tillage; HT, herbicide without tillage) were designed for both rotations. A total of 16 weed species were recorded in the WM rotation, with life forms of 62% for annuals, 12% for annual + perennial and 20% for perennials.

CXCL10-induced IL-9 promotes liver fibrosis via Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway.

Liver fibrosis is a typical complication of chronic liver diseases resulting in cirrhosis that remains a major public health problem. The aim of the present study was to identify the role of interleukin-9 (IL-9), an important regulator of inflammation and autoimmune diseases, in hepatic fibrosis progression. It was found that the expression of IL-9 was significantly increased in liver tissues of liver cirrhosis patients compared with that in healthy controls.

IL-22 inactivates hepatic stellate cells via downregulation of the TGF-β1/Notch signaling pathway.

Interleukin-22 (IL-22) inhibits liver fibrosis by inducing hepatic stellate cell (HSC) senescence, primarily through the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 signaling. However, whether other signaling pathways are involved remains unknown. The present study assessed the regulatory mechanism between IL‑22 and the Notch signaling pathway in vitro.

Mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions from acidic soils by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, a plant growth-promoting bacterium.

Nitrous oxide (N O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas that can result in the alteration of atmospheric chemistry and cause accompanying changes in global climate. To date, many techniques have been used to mitigate the emissions of N O from agricultural fields, which represent one of the most important sources of N O. In this study, we designed a greenhouse pot experiment and a microcosmic serum bottle incubation experiment using acidic soil from a vegetable farm to study the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BA) on plant growth and N O emission rates.
