River Audna has been continuously limed on a full scale basis since 1985. Monitoring of benthic invertebrates of the river showed that the fauna was dominated by acid-tolerant species before liming and during the first year after the start of the treatment. Moderately acid-sensitive species, like Diura nanseni, Isoperla grammatica and Hydropsyche siltalia were found only in small numbers in a few localities in this period. In autumn 1987, the first appearance of the highly acid-sensitive mayfly Baetis rhodani was recorded at two stations in the main river. During the following years, this species colonized other localities and several other sensitive invertebrates, such as Heptagenia sulphurea, Caenis horaria, Hydropsyche pellucidula and Lepidostoma hirtum were also recorded. The change in faunal composition was highly significant compared to unlimed reference stations.

Article Synopsis
- A previous study linked acidic stimuli and the activation of ASIC1a to chondrocyte damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the specific mechanisms were not fully understood.
- This current study focused on how succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) contributes to this chondrocyte damage and found that SDH expression significantly increased in both acid-treated chondrocytes and mice with collagen-induced arthritis.
- The findings suggest that activating ASIC1a under acidic conditions enhances SDH activity and its assembly factor, SDHAF2, leading to increased chondrocyte pyroptosis through a specific signaling pathway involving Ca/CaMKK2/AMPK.

Article Synopsis
- A new injectable hydrogel, TP@DNH, is developed to help prevent the recurrence of glioblastoma (GBM) after surgery by using triptolide to trigger a form of cell death called ferroptosis.
- This hydrogel targets a specific cellular pathway that involves deactivating GPX4, which is crucial for neutralizing harmful substances in GBM cells, leading to increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
- In tests with mice, the TP@DNH hydrogel significantly slows down the growth of recurrent GBM and improves overall survival, suggesting a promising new approach for postoperative GBM treatment.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is used in oncology for tumor diagnosis, commonly relying on fluorine-18 (F) emission detection. The conventional method of F incorporation on to probes by covalent bonding is harsh for sensitive biomolecules, which are nonetheless compounds of choice for the development of targeted probes. This study explores gallium-F (GaF) coordination, a milder alternative method occurring in aqueous media at the final stage of radiosyntheses.

Purpose: Chemotherapy remains the primary therapeutic approach for advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). The therapeutic effect of chemotherapy is limited and the toxic side effects are serious. The aim of this study is to develop a nanobubble that is ultrasonically responsive to reduce the toxic side effects of direct chemotherapy.

Baijiu is an ancient, distilled spirit with a complicated brewing process, unique taste, and rich trace components. These trace components play a decisive role in the aroma, taste, and especially the quality of baijiu. In this paper, the redox reaction between the Fenton reagent and four reducing agents, including o-phenylenediamine (OPD), p-phenylenediamine (PPD), 4-aminophenol (PAP), and 2-aminophenol (OAP), was adopted to construct a four-channel visual sensor array for the rapid detection of nine kinds of common organic acids in baijiu and the identification of baijiu and its adulteration.
