Chaohu Lake is the fifth largest freshwater lake in China that meets the needs of surrounding industries for water, tourism, and flood storage, making it important for the socio-economic development and modernization of Anhui Province. As an important ecological wetland in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, many rare bird habitats are present along the coast of Chaohu Lake. Therefore, it is eco-economically important to study antibiotic pollution in Chaohu Lake.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in a variety of biological processes and diseases. However, the expression and function of lncRNAs after spinal cord injury has not been extensively analyzed. In this study of right side hemisection of the spinal cord at T10, we detected the expression of lncRNAs in the proximal tissue of T10 lamina at different time points and found 445 lncRNAs and 6522 mRNA were differentially expressed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTitanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used in clinical practice as preferred materials for bone tissue repair and replacement because of their good mechanical properties; however, as Ti lacks biological activity, clinical application has been limited. Herein, we prepared a manganese-titanium dioxide (Mn-TiO) microporous biotic coating on Ti surfaces by micro-arc oxidation (MAO). The coating showed good surface topography and was uniformly doped with Mn, and the Mn ions were slowly released.
