Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of continuous cropping on the physical and chemical properties of rhizosphere soil, soil microbial activity, and community characteristics, comparing it to a five-year fallow treatment.
- Key findings revealed that as years of continuous cropping increased, organic carbon, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen levels rose, while soil pH decreased; significant changes in soil salt content and conductivity were also noted after three and four years of cropping.
- Microbial community dynamics shifted with more continuous cropping, as bacterial diversity and abundance decreased, while fungal diversity increased, leading to stronger antagonistic interactions among bacteria and synergistic effects among fungi.
Cardiovascular disease is a common comorbidity in patients with cancer, and the main leading cause of noncancer-related deaths in cancer survivors. Considering that current antitumor drugs usually induce cardiovascular injury, the quest for developing new antitumor drugs, especially those with cardiovascular protection, is crucial for improving cancer prognosis. MK2206 is a phase II clinical anticancer drug and the role of this drug in cardiovascular disease is still unclear.

Songorine is a typical active C-diterpene alkaloid from the lateral root of Aconitum carmichaelii, which has been used for the treatment of heart failure. This study investigated the protective role of songorine in septic heart injury from the aspect of mitochondrial biogenesis.
