Article Synopsis
- Nonpoint source pollution (NPSP) from human activities severely impacts the river basin environments, with a study focusing on sediment samples from the Jialing River's estuary to examine these effects.
- High-throughput sequencing revealed that NPSP significantly altered fungal communities, notably increasing certain fungi (e.g., Exosporium, Candida) and decreasing others (e.g., Cercospora, Cladosporium), indicating their potential as ecological indicators.
- Changes in physicochemical properties like pH and available nitrogen were linked to fungal diversity and community composition, with NPSP enhancing certain nutrient metabolic functions while inhibiting others, showcasing the complex influence of pollution on sediment fungi.
The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences in soil bacterial community diversity in different land uses in the coastal zone of the Jialing River and to provide theoretical reference for reasonable land development and resource protection of the Jialing River basin. Based on second generation high-throughput sequencing technology, the diversity, structural composition, functional types, and influencing factors of soil bacterial communities in different land use types were analyzed. The results showed that:① there were some differences in soil physical and chemical properties among different land uses.

Over-expression of vitronectin (VN) is associated with tumorigenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of VN expression in gastric cancer.The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis was performed to screen the hub gene from The Cancer Genome Atlas gastric cancer patients with complete follow-up data, and 347 patients were finally included.

Objective: To understand the deltamethrin resistance level, GTS and P450 metabolic detoxification enzyme activities, and mutations in the para-type sodium channel gene that confers knockdown resistance (kdr) in Anopheles sinensis mosquitoes from malaria endemic areas along the Huaihe River in Anhui Province, China.
Methods: An. sinensis adult mosquitoes were collected in Lilou, Mohekou and Tuohu townships of Bengbu City, Anhui Province from August to September, 2011.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA vaccine called pVAX1/ESAT-6 and assess its ability to provoke an immune response.
- The process involved inserting the ESAT-6 gene into a plasmid, transforming it into cells, and testing for protein expression and immune responses in transfected mice.
- Results showed that the vaccine effectively increased antibody levels and immune cell activity, indicating strong potential for stimulating an immune response against tuberculosis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how exogenous nitric oxide (NO) affects the survival of adult Trichinella spiralis worms in a controlled environment.
- Adult worms were cultured with varying concentrations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), and their mortality was measured after four days of incubation.
- Results showed that higher concentrations of SNP significantly increased worm mortality, but the presence of hemoglobin or combinations of L-cysteine and iron reversed the lethal effects of SNP on the worms.
