Wastewater sludges (WSs) are major reservoirs and emission sources of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in cities. Identifying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) host bacteria in WSs is crucial for understanding AMR formation and mitigating biological and ecological risks. Here 24 sludge data from wastewater treatment plants in Jiangsu Province, China, and 1559 sludge data from genetic databases were analyzed to explore the relationship between 7 AMRs and bacterial distribution. The results of the Procrustes and Spearman correlation analysis were unsatisfactory, with p-value exceeding the threshold of 0.05 and no strong correlation (r > 0.8). In contrast, explainable machine learning (EML) using SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) revealed Pseudomonadota as a major contributor (39.3 %-74.2 %) to sludge AMR. Overall, the application of ML is promising in analyzing AMR-bacteria relationships. Given the different applicable occasions and advantages of various analysis methods, using ML as one of the correlation analysis tools is strongly recommended.

Background: Disease progression within 24 months (POD24) significantly impacts overall survival (OS) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model, FLIPI-C, using a machine learning approach to identify FL patients at high risk of POD24.
Methods: A cohort of 1,938 FL patients (FL1-3a) from seventeen centers nationwide in China was randomly divided into training and internal validation sets (2:1 ratio).

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) exhibits a cellular hierarchy with a subpopulation of stem-like cells known as glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) that drive tumor growth and contribute to treatment resistance. NAD(H) emerges as a crucial factor influencing GSC maintenance through its involvement in diverse biological processes, including mitochondrial fitness and DNA damage repair. However, how GSCs leverage metabolic adaptation to obtain survival advantage remains elusive.

Endometriosis is a complex gynecological condition characterized by abnormal immune responses. This study aims to explore the immunomodulatory effects of monoterpene glycosides from Paeonia lactiflora on endometriosis. Using the ssGSEA algorithm, we assessed immune cell infiltration levels between normal and endometriosis groups.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is a highly aggressive neoplasm characterized by poor diagnosis. Amino acids play a prominent role in the occurrence and progression of pancreatic cancer as essential building blocks for protein synthesis and key regulators of cellular metabolism. Understanding the interplay between pancreatic cancer and amino acid metabolism offers potential avenues for improving patient clinical outcomes.
