As a new type of environmental persistent pollutant, microplastics can not only have adverse effects on the ecosystem but also form complex pollution with co-existing pollutants in the surrounding environment, resulting in higher ecological and health risks. Based on the perspective of agroecosystems, this study focused on the combined pollution of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics, which are three typical pollutants of farmland soil, as well as microplastics and discussed the adsorption-desorption behavior of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics on microplastics. The influence of the structure and properties of microplastics, the physicochemical properties of pollutants, and environmental conditions on the adsorption and desorption behavior of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics on microplastics was discussed. The influence of microplastics on the bioavailability of heavy metals, pesticides, and antibiotics in farmland soil and the internal mechanism were expounded. The existing problems and shortcomings of current research were pointed out, and the future research direction was proposed. This study can provide a scientific reference for ecological risk assessment of the combined pollution of microplastics and typical pollutants in farmland soil.

Heavy metal pollution is a major environmental and health problem due to the toxicity and persistence of metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic in water, soil, and air. Advances in sensor technology have significantly improved the detection and quantification of heavy metals, providing real-time monitoring and mitigation tools. This review explores recent developments in heavy metal detection, focusing on innovative uses of immobilized chromogenic reagents, nanomaterials, perovskites, and nanozymes.

This study investigates the vulnerability of expansive soil slopes to destabilization and damage, particularly under intense rainfall, due to their heightened sensitivity to moisture. Focusing on a project in Yunnan Province, numerical simulation software is employed to address slope stability challenges. Meanwhile, the soil mechanical parameters of this study were acquired through experimentation.

For the purpose of this study, four natural rock samples-namely, diorite, granodiorite, tonalite, and granite-are being investigated about their radiation attenuation. The elemental composition of the rocks was obtained through Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) which examines the microstructural and localized area elemental analyses of the four rock samples. A Monte Carlo simulation (MCNP) was used to determine and evaluate the investigated samples.

Objective: Electroacupuncture has been shown to play a neuroprotective role following ischemic stroke, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Ferroptosis has been shown to play a key role in the injury process. In the present study, we wanted to explore whether electroacupuncture could inhibit ferroptosis by promoting nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation.

Purpose: Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAMed) is an emergent phenomenon within medical education. The rise of FOAMed resources has meant that medical education needs no longer be confined to the lecture theatre or the hospital setting, but rather, can be produced and shared amongst any individual or group with access to internet and a suitable device. This study presents a review of the use of FOAMed resources by students as part of their university medical education.
