Effects of micro-landforms on soil organic carbon and its components in Zhuxi National Wetland Park of Wannian County in Jiangxi Province, China.

The understanding of the impact of heterogeneous landforms within river wetland systems on soil organic carbon is rather limited. We conducted plant community surveys and soil sample collection on four main types of micro landforms, namely the Zhuxi River bank slope, edge beach, floodplain, and heart beach of Wannian Zhuxi National Wetland Park in Jiangxi Province. We measured soil physical and chemical properties and the contents of soil organic carbon components at depths of 0-30 cm for different micro landforms.

Distribution characteristics of soil iron-bound organic carbon in profiles along the elevation in Poyang Lake wetland.

The mineral protection of iron oxides is considered as one of the key mechanisms for the long-term stability of soil organic carbon. To investigate the distribution patterns and regulatory mechanisms of soil iron-bound organic carbon (Fe-OC) at the soil profile scale, we collected soil samples of high beach, middle beach, low beach and mud flat along the elevation gradient in Nanji Wetland National Nature Reserve of Poyang Lake, and measured soil basic physicochemical properties, the different soil iron fractions, and the Fe-OC content in the 0-100 cm profiles. The results showed that the average contents of Fe-OC at different elevations was (0.

Porcine ISG15 fused IFN-λ3 as a novel antiviral agent for treating porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection in vivo.

IFN-λs hold promise as therapeutic candidates against mutable respiratory viruses, but their efficacy against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains unclear. In this study, we expressed a recombinant fusion protein consisting of porcine ISG15 linked porcine IFN-λ3 (ISG15-IFN-λ3) via a rigid protein linker in Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Effects of migratory birds activities on the stoichiometry of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a -dominated wetland of Poyang Lake.

Studying the stoichiometric characteristics of soil nutrients aids in evaluating soil quality and deciphering the coupling of soil nutrients. The influence of migratory bird activities on the dynamics of wetland soil nutrients and their stoichiometric remains unclear. We classified the central, peripheral and adjacent natural grassy areas as severe, mild, and no bird activity (control), respectively, in Donghu meadow, a representative migratory bird habitat in Poyang Lake, based on flock characteristics and initial surveys.

Bibliometric Research on Surgical Scheduling Management from the Perspective of Web of Science.

Objective: Reasonable surgical scheduling management is crucial to optimize the utilization rate of operating room. This study aims to understand the context, frontier and hot spots of surgical scheduling management research, in order to provide reference for surgical scheduling optimization.

Methods: Literature on operation scheduling management collected in Web of Science core collection database was searched from the database establishment to June 21, 2023.

A Study on the Psychological Experience and Influential Factors of Pregnant Women Who Decided Elective Caesarean Section After Public Health Emergencies - A Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic used to be a major public health emergency which affected people worldwide, and it affected individuals' body, mood, work and lifestyle to some extent. The pregnant woman affected by the unstable hormone will be more sensitive than normal ones. Long-term depression and anxiety could feedback on their body and lead to a host of pregnancy complications.

Retrospective analysis of the application of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and meta-analysis.

After the stimulation of neurodermis, in the first stage, the relevant literature of each stage can be obtained through the relevant computer detection method. At the same time, also to the relevant database and scientific network research, and the influence of TENS tight comparison, the investigation is two years, using a series of score evaluation into the quality of the literature, in the process of inclusion if a certain funnel diagram analysis, the analysis results will be expressed according to the forest diagram, can get the final results in the review of many types of research, and then according to different types of research, delete the content of duplicate related reading topics. After reading the full text, if the content meets the inclusion criteria, it will show no significant difference between the effect of the control group and the pain effect of the experimental group, but the time of delivery is shorter than that of the control group, the pain intensity of TENS will decrease, thus shortening the labor time of each period.

Circular RNA circGlis3 protects against islet β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis in obesity.

Pancreatic β-cell compensation is a major mechanism in delaying T2DM progression. Here we report the abnormal high expression of circGlis3 in islets of male mice with obesity and serum of people with obesity. Increasing circGlis3 is regulated by Quaking (QKI)-mediated splicing circularization.

Brain metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma: A large comprehensive population-based cohort study on risk factors and prognosis.

Aims: Although brain metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma (GaC) is rare, it may significantly affect survival and quality of life. The aim of this large, comprehensive, population-based cohort investigation was to investigate factors that were associated with brain metastasis from GaC and to explore the prognostic factors and time-dependent cumulative mortalities among cases with GaC and brain involvement.

Methods: Population-based information on cases with GaC diagnosed from 2010 to 2016 was obtained from a large-scale database.

Anti-CRISPR protein AcrIF4 inhibits the type I-F CRISPR-Cas surveillance complex by blocking nuclease recruitment and DNA cleavage.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas system provides prokaryotes with protection against mobile genetic elements such as phages. In turn, phages deploy anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins to evade this immunity. AcrIF4, an Acr targeting the type I-F CRISPR-Cas system, has been reported to bind the crRNA-guided surveillance (Csy) complex.
