Article Abstract

The differences of artificial measures, such as logging residue management, between assisted natural regeneration and afforestation may change the content and structure of soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and affect forest carbon cycle. In this study, we investigated the effects of managements on the content and spectral characteristics of DOC in a subtropical forest, which contained the forest of assisted natural regeneration (Ⅱ), and the plantation (Ⅲ), both were converted from mature secondary forests (Ⅰ). Results showed that DOC content in the 0-10 cm soil layer was significantly decreased by 21% and 50% in Ⅱ and Ⅲ, respectively, compared with that in Ⅰ. The DOC/SOC (soil organic carbon) ratios of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm soil layers were significantly decreased by 27% and 43% after the conversion, respectively. In the 0-10 cm soil layer, the aromatic index and humification index of DOC in Ⅱ were significantly higher than that in Ⅲ. The infrared absorption ratio of soil DOC in the range of 3700-3000 cm, 1650-1620 cm, 1160-1000 cm, and 690-530 cm in Ⅱ was higher than that in Ⅲ, indicating that the DOC in Ⅱ had higher carboxylic acids and aromatic substances than Ⅲ. The fluorescence index of DOC in Ⅱ and Ⅲ ranged from 1.4 to 1.9, and the biological index of Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of Ⅲ, indicating that Ⅲ had higher protein components in DOC and being more bioavailable. Thus, the differences of the content and structure of DOC between Ⅱ and Ⅲ might cause higher soil carbon pool of Ⅱ than that of Ⅲ.

The UFD-1 (ubiquitin fusion degradation 1)-NPL-4 (nuclear protein localization homolog 4) heterodimer is involved in extracting ubiquitinated proteins from several plasma membrane locations, including the endoplasmic reticulum. This heterodimer complex helps in the degradation of ubiquitinated proteins via the proteasome with the help of the AAA+ATPase CDC-48. While the ubiquitin-proteasome system is known to have important roles in maintaining innate immune responses, the role of the UFD-1-NPL-4 complex in regulating immunity remains elusive.

Membrane-protein quality control in Escherichia coli involves coordinated actions of the AAA+ protease FtsH, the insertase YidC and the regulatory complex HflKC. These systems maintain proteostasis by facilitating membrane-protein insertion, folding and degradation. To gain structural insights into a putative complex formed by FtsH and YidC, we performed single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy on detergent-solubilized membrane samples, from which FtsH and YidC were purified using Ni-NTA affinity and size-exclusion chromatography.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening condition lacking effective treatment. We investigate the role of the deubiquitinating enzyme USP21 in AAA development. Proteomic analysis reveals significant upregulation of USP21 in murine and human abdominal aortic tissues.

Aim: To describe the percentage of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) cases in the Maspalomas Basic Health Zone among males aged 65 to 75 years who are current or former smokers. Our secondary objectives were to define the distribution of known risk factors for AAA development in our sample and to facilitate early referral to the appropriate vascular surgery service. We also aim to describe the percentage of subaneurysm cases, offering ultrasound follow-up at our center.

Institut de Recerca Biomèdica de Lleida (IRBLleida), Lleida, España.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of implementing ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in primary care by examining the prevalence of AAA and associated risk factors in northern Lleida, where no prior data exist and cases are detected opportunistically.

Design: Cross-sectional retrospective prevalence study derived from a pilot implementation of ultrasound AAA screening as a routine complementary test in six rural primary care centres over a 12-month period (March 2022 - March 2023).

Setting: Northern area of the province of Lleida, specifically the regions of Alt Urgell, Pallars Sobirà, Pallars Jussà and Alta Ribagorça.
