Regulation mechanisms of biochar-derived endogenous substances on heavy metal mobility in the soil-crop system: A critical review.

The utilization of biochar (BC) for the remediation of heavy metals (HMs) in contaminated soils has attracted considerable global interest. This review synthesizes advancements in the formation, composition, and fraction distribution of endogenous substances in BC, as well as their roles in regulating both cationic and anionic HMs in soils over the past decade (up to 2025). The physicochemical and structural properties of BC are determined by feedstock selection and pyrolysis temperature, which regulate the composition, concentration, and fractionation of its constituents.

Fertilization of potentially toxic element-contaminated soils remediated with reusable biochar pellets using rice straw, pig manure and their derived biochar.

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are widespread pollutants in agricultural fields, presenting significant challenges to the maintenance of soil ecological functions while simultaneously reducing their concentrations. This study detailed the development of a high-strength reusable silicate magnetic composite biochar sphere (SMBCS) characterized by superior magnetic and adsorption properties, synthesized from natural minerals and biochar. The application of SMBCS over three consecutive remediation cycles led to reductions in cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and arsenic (As) concentrations in soil by 28.

Global-Local Facial Fusion Based GAN Generated Fake Face Detection.

Media content forgery is widely spread over the Internet and has raised severe societal concerns. With the development of deep learning, new technologies such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and media forgery technology have already been utilized for politicians and celebrity forgery, which has a terrible impact on society. Existing GAN-generated face detection approaches rely on detecting image artifacts and the generated traces.

Protective effects of a novel probiotic strain, Lactococcus lactis ML2018, in colitis: in vivo and in vitro evidence.

Multiple articles have confirmed that an imbalance of the intestinal microbiota is closely related to aberrant immune responses of the intestines and to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Probiotic strains have been identified for the treatment and prevention of IBDs. The aim of this study was to screen a new probiotic strain with anti-inflammatory activity and investigate the potential mechanisms underlying its activity.

[Effect of different processed volatile oils from Angelica sinensis on urinary metabolomics rats].

Different processed volatile oils from AS on urine metabolites of normal rats were analyzed to reveal the possible metabolic pathways. Totally 50 male Waster rats were randomly divided into normal control group, C-ASVO group, J-ASVO group, T-ASVO group and Y-ASVO group, with 10 rats in each group. The normal group was given isovolumetric 0.

Construction and analysis of correlation networks based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry metabonomics data for lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and intervention with volatile oil from Angelica sinensis in rats.

Angelica sinensis (AS) is a well-known important traditional Chinese medicine that yields a volatile oil with anti-inflammatory effects. However, the holistic therapeutic effects and the mechanism underlying such effects of the volatile oil of A. sinensis (VOAS) are not yet well understood.
