Many studies have confirmed groundwater phosphorus (P) enrichment by anthropogenic and geogenic sources. However, the effects of colloidal iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) on the groundwater P distribution remain poorly-understood. This study investigated the spatial distribution of three forms of Fe, Mn, and P (particulate, colloidal, and truly soluble) in aquifers based on groundwater monitoring data and sediment core samples for the Jianghan Plain. High proportions of colloidal Fe, Mn, and P of up to 52%, 58%, and 76%, respectively were found in the phreatic and confined aquifers. Particulate and truly soluble P dominated the phreatic aquifer and the confined aquifer, respectively. However, the truly soluble Fe and Mn were dominant among the three forms in both the phreatic and confined aquifers. The distributions of Fe, Mn, and P in colloids and sediments were also studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). A comparison of the distributions of Fe, Mn, and P between site SD01 (riparian zones) and site SD02 (farmland) showed that both external inputs and the reduced release of Fe/Mn oxides/minerals from sediments contributed to the distributions of colloidal Fe, Mn, and P. Correlation analysis showed a strong relationship between colloidal Fe/Mn and P in both groundwater and sediment, implying that colloidal Fe/Mn play a role in regulating the distribution of P in the study area. This study provides a new understanding of the effects of colloidal Fe and Mn on the P distribution among the phreatic and confined aquifers.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that has attracted global attention, and alkaloids from have been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity. Fermentation has been used for the structural modification of natural compounds to improve bioavailability and activity, but the AD therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of the fermented (FPN) are still unclear. The potential targets of FPN for AD were preliminarily screened using network pharmacology, and then PCR and WB were used to prove the therapeutic effect of FPN in AD.

Marine polysaccharide hydrogels have emerged as an innovative platform for regulating the in vivo release of natural bioactive compounds for medical purposes. These hydrogels, which have exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high water absorption capacity, create effective matrices for encapsulating different bioactive molecules. In addition, by modifying the physical and chemical properties of marine hydrogels, including cross-linking density, swelling behavior, and response to external stimuli like pH, temperature, or ionic strength, the release profile of encapsulated bioactive compounds is strictly regulated, thus maximizing therapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects.

Organoid technology, as an innovative approach in biomedicine, exhibits promising prospects in disease modeling, pharmaceutical screening, regenerative medicine, and oncology research. However, the use of tumor-derived Matrigel as the primary method for culturing organoids has significantly impeded the clinical translation of organoid technology due to concerns about potential risks, batch-to-batch instability, and high costs. To address these challenges, this study innovatively introduced a photo-crosslinkable hydrogel made from a porcine small intestinal submucosa decellularized matrix (SIS), fish collagen (FC), and methacrylate gelatin (GelMA).
