To reveal nutrient resorption characteristics of and their driving factors in hilly and gully regions, we measured the concentration of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in leaves and the concentrations and stoichiometry of organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phospho-rus, ammonium, nitrate and available phosphorus in soils of plantations with different stand ages. We analyzed the relationship between leaf nitrogen and phosphorus resorption efficiencies and soil nutrient characteristics. The nutrients in plants and soil changed significantly with stand ages. The total and available phosphorus concentrations were low in the soil. Nitrogen resorption efficiency first increased and then decreased with the increases of stand age, with a range of 48.2%-54.0% and a mean value of 48.5%. Phosphorus resorption efficiency increased significantly with stand age, with a range of 45.2%-49.4% and a mean value of 46.9%. Nitrogen resorption efficiency showed negative response to soil nitrogen and N:P. Phosphorus resorption efficiency was significantly positively correlated to soil N:P and negatively correlated to soil available phosphorus. Our results indicated that soil nutrient availability negatively drove nutrient resorption efficiency. The strategies of leaf nutrient resorption responded strongly to soil N:P due to the N-fixing effect and P-limitation of .

Diabetic periodontitis presents a unique therapeutic challenge, primarily due to its chronic inflammatory profile and the associated bone loss driven by immune dysregulation. Metformin (Met) is recognized for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, yet its limited cellular uptake has hindered its clinical effectiveness in diabetic periodontitis. A tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA)-based delivery system is developed to enhance Met cellular uptake and investigate its effects on diabetic periodontitis in this study.

Purpose: Several osteoanabolic agents have been developed to build new bone more efficiently than anti-resorptive drugs. Among them, romosozumab, an anti-sclerostin antibody, is a potent pharmacological tool to prevent fractures in osteoporosis patients. The efficacy of romosozumab in preventing osteoporotic fractures is robust.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mineral density and a heightened risk of fractures. Therapies for OP have primarily focused on balancing bone formation and bone resorption, but enhancing the remineralization of osteoporotic bone is also a key strategy for effective repair. Recent insights into biomineralization mechanisms have highlighted the essential role of mineral-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by osteoblasts in promoting bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (BMSC) differentiation and initiating matrix mineralization.

Natural compounds have shown promising application prospects in preventing or treating various diseases, including osteoporosis on account of their abundant sources, low price, multi-targeting and multiple biological effects. As a bioactive natural product, quercetin (Que) has previously demonstrated to ameliorate osteoporosis (OP), however, its poor bioavailability resulting from low water solubility, poor stability and lack of bone-targeting largely restricted its efficacy and clinical applications. Inspired by the bone-targeting capability of phosphate compounds, we reported a one-step procedure for synthesis of phosphorylated Que (p-Que) by direct phosphorylating phenol groups of Que for the first time.

Studies in humans and rodents show exercise in pregnancy can modulate maternal blood pressure, vascular volume, and placental efficiency, but whether exercise affects early uteroplacental vascular adaptations is unknown. To investigate this, CBA/J female mice mated with BALB/c males to generate healthy uncomplicated pregnancies (BALB/c-mated) or mated with DBA/2J males to generate abortion-prone pregnancies (DBA/2J-mated), were subjected to treadmill exercise (5 days/week, 10 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 weeks before and throughout pregnancy), or remained sedentary. In uncomplicated pregnancies, exercise caused symmetric fetal growth restriction in fetuses evidenced by reductions in fetal weight, crown-to-rump length, abdominal girth and biparietal diameter.
