Amid growing global food security concerns and frequent armed conflicts, real-time monitoring of abandoned cropland is essential for strategic planning and crisis management. This study develops a method to map abandoned cropland accurately, crucial for maintaining the food supply chain and ecological balance. Utilizing Sentinel-1/2 satellite data, we employed multi-feature stacking and machine learning to create the ARCC10-IM (Abandoned and Reclaimed Cropland Classification at 10-meter resolution in Inner Mongolia) dataset, which tracks annual cropland activity.

Objective: To examine the clinical characteristics and anemia-related factors in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), as well as the effect and mechanism of erythroblastic islands (EBIs) and EBI macrophages in NDMM patients with anemia.

Methods: We collected and analyzed clinical data to find anemia-related factors. Using flow cytometry, the numbers and ratios of erythroblasts and EBI macrophages were determined.

Article Synopsis
  • Copy number aberrations (CNA) play a critical role in diagnosing and assessing risk in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
  • The study used a new assay called LeukoPrint to analyze bone marrow samples from 137 newly diagnosed patients, achieving a high concordance of 98.1% with traditional cytogenetics methods.
  • LeukoPrint effectively identified CNAs in small segments and low-leukemic samples, improved diagnostic yields by updating risk categories for some patients, and offered an efficient and cost-effective method for analyzing genomic profiles alongside standard guidelines.

Unlabelled: AbstractObjective: To investigate the sample selection, result correction and clinical application value of multi nucleotide polymorphism chimerism detection method based on Next-generation sequencing.

Methods: The chimerism samples from November 2018 to June 2020 were collected, and Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to analyze the consistency of bone marrow and peripheral blood results detected by MNPseq; according to the different information integrity before transplantation, the calibration model was constructed to analyze the correction value of the micro chimerism results in each model; the clinical results were retrospectively analyzed to verify the reliability and practicability of chimerism results correction and the clinical value of MNPseq method.

Results: The results of bone marrow and peripheral blood chimerism detected by MNPseq method were consistent with each other and showed significant correlation (r=0.

Thiram, a well-known sulfur containing organic compound is frequently and extensively used in agriculture because of high biological activity to control different pests. In certain cases, due to long persistence in the environment pesticides and other environmental contaminants induce undesirable toxic impacts to public health and environment. To ascertain the potential mechanisms of toxicity of thiram on different immune organs of broilers, a total of 100 one-day-old chicks were obtained and randomly divided into two groups including thiram group (50 mg/kg) and untreated control group.

As the primary source of electricity for various devices, batteries are important contributors to the overall electronic waste generated; and are widely considered a source of highly ecotoxic pollutants. Material leakage in battery manufacturing has not been completely solved, and the elucidation of the toxic mechanisms of battery wastewater exposure is needed. We demonstrated that battery waste exposure disrupted the intestinal flora and aggravated hepatotoxicity via the gut-liver axis.

Zearalenone (ZEN), a mycotoxin is frequently detected in different food products and has been widely studied for its toxicity. However, the underlying mechanisms of hepatotoxic effects, relationship between gut microbiome and liver metabolite mediated hepatotoxicity mechanisms induced by ZEN are still not clear. Here, we reported that the different microscopic changes like swelling of hepatocyte, disorganization of hepatocytes and extensive vacuolar degeneration were observed, and the mitochondrial functions decreased in exposed mice.

Fluoride is one of the most widely distributed elements in nature, while some fluorine-containing compounds are toxic to several vertebrates at certain levels. The current study was performed to evaluate the nephrotoxic effects of fluoride exposure in ducks. The results showed that the renal index was decreased in NaF group, and fluoride exposure significantly decreased the levels of serum Albumin, Glucose, Total cholesterol, Urea, protein and Triglycerides, confirming that NaF exhibited adverse effects on the kidney.

Fluorine being a well-known and essential element for normal physiological functions of tissues of different organisms is frequently used for growth and development of body. The mechanisms of adverse and injurious impacts of fluoride are not clear and still are under debate. Therefore, this study was executed to ascertain the potential mechanisms of sodium fluoride in liver tissues of ducks.

Butachlor being an important member of chloroacetanilide herbicides, is frequently used in agriculture to control unwanted weeds. Exposure to butachlor can induce cancer, human lymphocyte aberration, and immunotoxic effects in animals. The current experimental trial was executed to determine the potential risks of herbicide butachlor to immunotoxicity and its mechanism of adverse effects on the spleen.

Butachlor is a systemic herbicide widely applied on wheat, rice, beans, and different other crops, and is frequently detected in groundwater, surface water, and soil. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the potential adverse health risks and the underlying mechanisms of hepatotoxicity caused by exposure to butachlor in invertebrates, other nontarget animals, and public health. For this reason, a total of 20 mice were obtained and randomly divided into two groups.

Background: Severe hypoxia induces a series of stress responses in mammals; however, subterranean rodents have evolved several adaptation mechanisms of energy metabolisms and O utilization for hypoxia. Mammalian brains show extreme aerobic metabolism. Following hypoxia exposure, mammals usually experience irreversible brain damage and can even develop serious diseases, such as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and brain edema.

Background: Subterranean rodents have evolved many features to adapt to their hypoxic environment. The brain is an organ that is particularly vulnerable to damage caused by exposure to hypoxic conditions. To investigate the mechanisms of adaption to a hypoxic underground environment, we carried out a cross-species brain transcriptome analysis by RNA sequencing and identified genes that are differentially expressed between the subterranean vole Lasiopodomys mandarinus and the closely related above-ground species Lasiopodomys brandtii under chronic hypoxia [10.

Background: X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1 (XLP1) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder with a strong resemblance to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Causative mutations for XLP1 have been identified in SH2D1A, located on chromosome Xq25.

Case Presentation: We report a case of an 18-month-old male with a novel nonsense mutation in SH2D1A.

Despite recent medical advances, atherosclerosis is a global burden accounting for numerous mortalities and hospital admissions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) regulate cardiovascular biology and disease, but the role of microRNA‑34a in atherosclerosis remains unclear. In the present study, it was demonstrated that miR‑34a was highly expressed in atherosclerotic lesions and oxidized low‑density lipoprotein (Ox‑LDL)‑treated human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) (atherosclerotic cell model) using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
