Poyang Lake, the largest fresh water lake in China, is the major transmission site of Schistosoma japonicum in China. This paper reviews the history of prevalence, efforts and achievements of controlling schistosomiasis and current status of endemicity. The epidemiological characteristics including descriptions of the endemic areas, snail host, definitive hosts, infection source, transmission and impacts of water conservancy, as well as objectives and strategy of control in Poyang Lake are discussed.

Antibiotics and heavy metals pose severe risks to human health and ecological environment. Therefore, developing a multifunctional adsorbent to remove these contaminants from wastewater is an urgent need. Herein, novel anionic sulfonic acid groups functionalized magnetic β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) composites (FCD@AA) were synthesized by coating poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (AMPS)) on the surface of magnetic β-CD particles (FCD).

Ecological integrity, encompassing physical, chemical, and biological aspects, is crucial for sustaining ecosystem service functions and stability. As the largest freshwater lake in China, the ecological integrity of Poyang Lake has attracted much attention due to the over-exploitation of its water resources in recent years. In this study, several biological and water quality surveys on water ecological conditions were carried out at 11 sampling points of Poyang Lake from 1998 to 2022, and the ecological health of Poyang Lake was evaluated by use of the O/E (Observation/Expectation) model and the chemical-biological index method according to the status of the water quality and the structure of the benthic fauna in the four seasons, respectively.

Investigating the effects of urbanization at the county level on the balance of the carbon budget is essential for progress toward achieving "dual carbon" objectives at the county scale. Based on land use and economic data, this study elucidates the spatiotemporal evolution of urbanization and carbon budget balance ratio in 84 counties in Jiangxi Province from 1980 to 2020. Optimal geographic detectors and geographically weighted random forests were used to explore the impact of urbanization on the carbon budget balance ratio.

The black bream () is an economically important species widely distributed in China, with its geographic populations potentially having undergone differentiations and local adaptations. In this study, we presented a chromosome-level genome assembly of this species and investigated genetic differentiations of its populations that are allopatric (the northern one) and sympatric (the Poyang Lake) to its kin species, the blunt-snout bream (), using whole genome resequencing analysis. The results showed that the genome size of black bream was 1.

Background & Aims: The effectiveness of preoperative carbohydrate loading(PCL) on postoperative insulin resistance(IR) is controversial. In addition, the effect of different doses of carbohydrates on postoperative IR is also controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficiency of PCL on postoperative IR and the optimal regimen for the effect on postoperative IR.
