Objective: To investigate the status of infection in the population in Nanjing City so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and control of cryptosporidiosis.
Methods: A total of 100 fecal samples were collected from each of three districts (Liuhe, Qixia and Gaochun) and one hospital (Nanjing Zhongda Hospital) in 2015 and 2016 respectively. The fecal samples were detected for with microscopy (by using the gold amine phenol-modified acid-fast staining) and the positive samples were detected again for the molecular biology confirming by using the fluorescence quantitative PCR.
Results: During the two years, 581 cases of normal population who lived in the city were surveyed and no Cryptosporidium infection was found. Among 202 cases of outpatients with chronic diarrhea, there were 9 positive cases with the microscope scanning method (4.46%), and among the 9 cases, 7 cases showed obvious logarithmic amplification curves showing positive nucleic acid, but 2 cases without the obvious logarithmic amplification curves, and the nucleic acid positive rate was 3.47%.
Conclusions: infection is not found in the normal population of Nanjing City, but the infection is found in the chronic diarrhea patients. The results imply that we should strengthen the detection of in the chronic diarrhea patients, so as to provide the evidence for improving the diagnosis and treatment of cryptosporidiosis.

Renewable electricity-driven electrochemical reduction of CO2 offers a promising route for production of high-value ethanol. However, the current state of this technology is hindered by low selectivity and productivity, primarily due to limited understanding of the atomic-level active sites involved in ethanol formation. Herein, we identify that the interfacial oxygen vacancy-neighboring Cu (Ov-Cu) pair sites are the active sites for CO2 electroreduction to ethanol.

To improve the effectiveness of government environmental attention on resource allocation, this study proposes a measurement framework using text analysis and an unsupervised Word2vec model to quantify local government environmental attention of 288 Chinese cities. We further examine its impact on total factor productivity (TFP) of China's listed firms from 2010 to 2021 using the high-dimensional fixed-effects and panel quantile regression models. The findings show that: (1) Local government environmental attention contributes positively to TFP, with each unit increase raising TFP by approximately 1.

Researchers have reported that Bacillus megaterium BM18-2 reduces Cd toxicity in Hybrid Pennisetum, but understanding the interaction between plants and associated endophytes is crucial for understanding phytoremediation strategies under heavy metal stress. The current study aims to monitor the colonization patterns of GFP-labeled endophytic bacteria BM18-2 on Hybrid Pennisetum grass. Additionally, it will monitor Cd's effect on plant bacterial colonization.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer globally and is the second leading cause of cancer mortality. FAM49B, a member of the FAM49 gene family, is a recently identified, evolutionarily conserved gene. Emerging studies indicate that FAM49B plays a role in various cancers, though its specific mechanism in CRC remains largely unexplored.
