Bound residual (BR) fraction typically represents the "endpoint" of soil pollution risk assessment and remediation. However, it remains unclear whether the BR fraction of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) still presents a release risk after immobilized by biochar. Therefore, the SMX migration rate in different fractions were quantified. Results revealed that there are three extractable fractions of SMX in biochar-soil systems, allowing the migration of SMX among these various fractions. 1.0 % biochar could increase 8.5 %∼14.1 % BR fraction and 17.9 %∼36.9 % non-extractable fraction, respectively. Model simulations and Sobol Global Sensitivity Analysis results revealed that migration of SMX from BR fraction to labile fraction or stably-adsorbed fraction significantly affects overall fraction migration, suggesting BR fraction still poses a potential release risk. When considering the BR fraction, the half-life of SMX extended to 93.8 ∼ 132.0 days. Thus, the potential release risk of SMX in the BR fraction should not be overlooked when applying biochar for soil remediation.

Translocation across barriers and through constrictions is a mechanism that is often used in vivo for transporting material between compartments. A specific example is apicomplexan parasites invading host cells through the tight junction that acts as a pore, and a similar barrier crossing is involved in drug delivery using lipid vesicles penetrating intact skin. Here, we use triangulated membranes and energy minimization to study the translocation of vesicles through pores with fixed radii.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.

HFpEF is a prevalent and complex type of heart failure. The concurrent presence of conditions such as obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia significantly increase the risk of developing HFpEF. Mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, are crucial in maintaining cellular functions, including ATP production, intracellular Ca regulation, reactive oxygen species generation and clearance, and the regulation of apoptosis.
