Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a high-mortality chronic lung disease, and currently existing medications have limited therapeutic efficacy with noticeable adverse effects, urgently necessitating the exploration of more effective and safer treatment options. Our preliminary studies have demonstrated that the leech extract group with molecular weight greater than 10 kDa (>10 kDa group) exhibited superior anti-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis efficacy. To trace the active components of > 10 kDa group, it was separated by gel electrophoresis and analyzed by Nano LC-MS/MS.

Hydrogeochemical processes of trace elements (TEs) are of considerable significance to river water and groundwater resource assessment and utilization in the karst region. Therefore, seven TEs were analyzed to investigate their contents, spatial variations, sources, and controlling factors in Guiyang, a typical karst urban area in southwest China. The results showed that the average content of TEs in river water (e.

Article Synopsis
  • - Heavy metals enter water systems through natural processes and human activities, threatening human health, and a study in Wuhan assessed the distribution and risks of dissolved heavy metals (like V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Mo, Sb) using various analytical methods.
  • - Results showed significant differences in heavy metal levels based on location, with natural sources influencing some metals (like Mn and Fe) and industrial emissions affecting others (like V and Zn); As was linked to urban and agricultural sources.
  • - The health risk assessment indicated that V and Sb could pose non-carcinogenic risks, while As was associated with both non-carcinogenic risks for children and potential carcinogenic risks for adults, highlighting the
