Although many epidemiological studies have been conducted on Yucheng cohorts, this incident has rarely been examined from social-ecological perspectives. This study adopted a social-ecological model as a framework to provide a more complete description of Yucheng in order to understand its effects on affected individuals, communities, and society. At first, recent studies on Yucheng victim's health effects was updated. Long-term follow-up studies of Yucheng cohort have revealed the adverse health effects exerted on victims and their children. Subsequently, this study uses the disaster ecology model as a conceptual framework to review Yucheng. The movements of Yucheng victims and their supporters have constituted a primary actor for promoting the personal and legal rights of Yucheng victims. Finally, this study discusses how to improve future studies to effectively assist victims in their recovery from this incident.

Curcumin (CUR) is highly promising for topical therapeutic applications, but water-insolubility is one of the major challenges plaguing its drugability, while conventional lipid nanocarriers are limited by low drug-carrying capacity, many additives, and complex processes. In the current work, we constructed a composite carrier integrated with cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (γ-CD-MOF) and cyclodextrin nanosponge (β-CDNS), in which the γ-CD-MOF had 13.9 % drug loading and 267.

Article Synopsis
- Mining activities in China's ion-adsorption rare earth mining watershed significantly contribute to nitrogen pollution, with the study revealing that precipitation and soil nitrogen are the primary sources of nitrate (NO).
- The research utilized various methods, showing that baseflow is the main pathway for nitrogen entering rivers, and biological processes like nitrification and denitrification are crucial in transforming NO.
- The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive management strategies to control nitrogen pollution by addressing both input reductions and understanding the hydrological processes involved.
