The mining and smelting of navajoite has resulted in a serious vanadium pollution in regional geological environments and significant influence on soil microorganisms. However, the core microbiome responsible for adjusting community response to vanadium pollution and the driving pattern have been kept unclear. In this study, a suite of surface and profile soil samples over multiple gradients were collected in four directions and distances of 10-2000 m from a vanadium smelting plant in Panzhihua, China. The indigenous microbial communities and vanadium(V)-reducing related bacteria (VRB) were profiled by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing technique. Five VRB were detected in the original collected soil samples including Bacillus, Geobacter, Clostridium, Pseudomonas and Comamonadaceae based on high-throughput sequencing data analysis, and their abundances were significantly related with the content of vanadium. Low vanadium concentration promoted the growth of VRB, while high vanadium concentration would inhibit VRB multiplication. The Gaussian equation could be used to quantitatively describe the nonlinear relationship between VRB and vanadium. Network analysis demonstrated that the microbial communities were significantly influenced by VRB assemblage, and 1.32-52.77% of microbes in the community showed a close association with VRB. A laboratory incubation experiment also confirmed the core role of VRB to drive community response to vanadium pressure.

This study investigated the influence of parents' Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) responses prior to the birth of a first child, on self-reported mental health symptoms of the first-born child in mid-adolescence. The sample comprised 51 first-born children aged 16 years, their mothers and fathers from a low-risk community urban sample, White, British and 70% middle class. AMothers' responses to the AAI were the strongest predictor of their adolescent children's self-reported mental health symptoms.

Background: Misconduct in the publication of research articles is a serious concern for the scientific community. This study was conducted with the objective to assess various reasons for retraction of clinical research articles published in PubMed indexed journals from all over the world since 2012 to 2022.
Methods: A search was performed on the PubMed database for retracted research articles using filters for "retracted publication".

The Marshall Fire was a wildland urban interface (WUI) fire that destroyed more than 1000 structures in two communities in Colorado. High winds carried smoke and ash into an unknown number of buildings that, while not incinerated, were significantly damaged. We aimed to understand whether smoke or ash damage to one's home was associated with physical health impacts of the fire event for people living in and around the fire zone whose homes were not completely destroyed.

In this editorial we examine the article by Wu published in the . Surgical resection for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) has been gradually accepted in the medical oncology community. A randomized trial (PRODIGE 7) on cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) failed to prove any benefit of oxaliplatin in the overall survival of patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal origin.

Context: Historical land use is thought to have influenced plant community diversity, composition and function through the local persistence of taxa that reflect ecological conditions of the past.
Objectives: We tested for the effects of historical land use on contemporary plant species richness, composition, and ecological preferences in the grassland vegetation of Central Europe.
Methods: We analyzed 6975 vegetation plots sampled between 1946 and 2021 in dry, mesic, and wet grasslands in the borderland between Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
