In this study, the natural attenuation of naphthalene during riverbank infiltration was examined using batch experiments. The results indicated that, as the grain size and the permeability coefficient decreased, the natural attenuation rate of naphthalene increased, and it was highest in loam (62%) and lowest in coarse sand (20%). The half-life of naphthalene was longest in coarse sand (700 d) and shortest in mild clay (250 d). Facultative anaerobes such as Methylophilaceae accounted for about 70% of the total bacteria and played a major role in naphthalene degradation. A high total organic carbon concentration and large specific surface area can promote natural attenuation of naphthalene. Moreover, the adsorption to riverbank sediment in the hyporheic zone and bioremediation by indigenous microorganisms can effectively eliminate naphthalene during river water infiltration to the riverbank aquifer.

Predictive Value and Potential of Targeting Complement Factor C3 in Patients with Renal Injury in Preeclampsia.
Curr Mol Med
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100038, China.
Aim: The activation of the complement system is accompanied by the occurrence and development of preeclampsia, as well as kidney diseases. Here, the role of complement C3 [C3] in renal injury in preeclampsia was explored, and its potential application as an early diagnostic biomarker or drug target to ameliorate kidney injury induced by preeclampsia was preliminarily evaluated.
Method: A total of 48 subjects were included in the present study, and the complement C3 levels and renal function were analyzed.
Inhibition of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression Through the CXCL12/CXCR4 Axis via MiR206-3p Sponge.

Notably, the C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 12/C-X-C Chemokine Receptor Type 4 (CXCL12/CXCR4) signalling pathway's activation is markedly increased in a mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Nonetheless, the precise contribution of this pathway to AAA development remains to be elucidated. The AAA mouse model was induced by local incubation with elastase and oral administration of β-aminopropionitrile.

Background: Childhood allergic diseases are a global concern; quite limited studies have examined the impacts of parental age at delivery. This study aimed to explore the association between separate and combined parental age at delivery and childhood allergic diseases and whether adequate breastfeeding could modify this association.
Methods: This cross-sectional study sampled 15,976 children from Shanghai, China.
Consecutive oxidative stress in CATALASE2-deficient Arabidopsis negatively regulates Glycolate Oxidase1 activity through S-nitrosylation.
Physiol Plant

National Engineering Laboratory of Crop Stress Resistance Breeding, School of Life Sciences, Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei, China.
Glycolate oxidase (GOX) is a crucial enzyme of photorespiration involving carbon metabolism and stress responses. It is poorly understood, however, how its activities are modulated in response to oxidative stress elicited by various environmental cues. Analysis of Arabidopsis catalase-defective mutant cat2 revealed that the GOX activities were gradually repressed during the growth, which were accompanied by decreased salicylic acid (SA)-dependent cell death, suggesting photorespiratory HO may entrain negative feedback regulation of GOX in an age-dependent manner.

Department of Neurology, The Second Clinical Medical College of Jinan University, Shenzhen, China.
Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) is known for its high incidence, disability, and mortality, and there is an urgent need to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms and develop novel treatment strategies.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the mechanisms of the novel circMap2k1/miR-135b-5p/Pidd1 axis in the treatment of IS progression with fluoxetine.
Methods: The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was done in adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and followed by fluoxetine treatment and the injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-sh-ctr and AAV-sh-circMap2k1 into the bilateral hippocampal tissues of rats.
