The restoration methods applied on the areas affected by the Fundão tailings dam collapse have a high priority in Mariana region. We evaluated the effect of different restoration methods and site preparation techniques, depth and seasonality on penetration resistance of tailings, and how these predictors affect tree aboveground biomass in areas affected by the Fundão dam collapse in Mariana, Brazil. No significant differences in penetration resistance and aboveground biomass between treatments were observed, but significant differences were observed between seasonal periods. The main univariate model explained the significant effects of depth and seasonality, mainly by a negatively wet effect on penetration resistance. According to the best models (univariate and multivariate) were those that had depth as a predictor. This study showed how penetration resistance can be an indicator to select the best period for restoration process in areas affected by the collapse of the Fundão dam, but no limit to the aboveground biomass recovery on tailing.

Background: () biofilm associated infections are prevalent and persistent, posing a serious threat to human health and causing significant economic losses in animal husbandry. Nanoemulsions demonstrate significant potential in the treatment of bacterial biofilm associated infections due to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. In this study, a novel cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion with the ability to penetrate biofilm structures and eliminate biofilms was developed.

Effective delivery of therapeutic agents for solid tumour treatment is impeded by multiple obstacles, such as aberrant interstitial fluid pressure and high density of the extracellular matrix, which causes impaired penetration to deep avascular tumour tissue that exists in a hypoxic immune cold environment. Only limited tumoricidal effects have been achieved with traditional nanomedicine due to its inefficient penetration and the multiple resistant effects that exist in the tumour microenvironment. Herein, a new chemo-dynamic immunotherapy (CDIT) is proposed based on a transcytosis tumour oxygenator (MnP) with effective chemo-dynamic effects.

Unlabelled: This Phase 1 trial described the intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics and safety profile of IV fosfomycin in healthy participants Fosfomycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic mainly used to treat urinary tract infections, is being considered for treatment of more complex conditions, including lung infections, due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. Despite its potential, the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of intravenous (IV) fosfomycin, particularly its penetration into the lower respiratory tract, are unknown. To address this gap, we conducted a Phase 1, open-label trial to assess the safety and pulmonary pharmacokinetics of IV fosfomycin in healthy participants.

Biofilm-related bacterial keratitis is a severe ocular infection that can result in drastic vision impairment and even blindness. However, the therapeutic efficiency of clinical antibiotic eyedrops is often compromised because the bacteria in the biofilms resist bactericide the community genetic regulation, namely, bacterial quorum sensing. Herein, quercetin (QCT)-loaded star-shaped antibacterial peptide polymer (SAPP), QCT@SAPP, is developed based on a "drug" in a "drug" strategy for inhibiting and eradicating biofilms on the cornea.

Ice accretion caused by freezing rain or snowstorms is a common phenomenon in cold climates that seriously threatens the safety and reliability of telecommunication lines and other overhead networks. Various anti-icing strategies have been demonstrated through surface engineering to delay ice formation. However, existing anti-icing surfaces still encounter several challenges; for example, surfaces are prone to ice-pinning formation due to the impact of supercooled droplets, which leads to a loss of anti-icing effectiveness.
