Contrasting responses of soil bacterial and fungal networks to photovoltaic power station.

The rapid expansion of solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation raises concerns regarding its impact on terrestrial ecosystems. Although the influence of PV panels on soil conditions and plant biomass is acknowledged, their effects on the assembly processes and co-occurrence networks of soil microbial communities remain understudied. Clarifying this influence is crucial for understanding the effects of photovoltaic panels on soil ecosystem functions.

The Life-History Traits of Soil-Dwelling Nematode (Acrobeloides sp.) Exhibit More Resilience to Water Restriction Than Caenorhabditis elegans.

In the context of climate warming, the intensity and frequency of drought occurrences are progressively increasing. However, current research on the impacts of drought on the life-history traits and physiological activities of animals rarely encompasses soil animals that play crucial roles within soil ecosystems. Therefore, this study focused on a soil nematode species (Acrobeloides sp.

Associated factors of co-existent pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer: A case-control study.

Background: Although the incidence of co-existent pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and lung cancer in China is increasing, risk factors related to its development are still poorly understood. We aimed to investigate which clinical factors were associated with the odds of co-existent PTB and lung cancer (PTB-lung cancer) cases in a case-control study.

Method: A total of 125 PTB-lung cancer patients were enrolled by Beijing Chest Hospital as the case group between January 2012 and December 2016.
