Article Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the association between residential greenness and tinnitus and the potential interaction between greenness and genetic predisposition to tinnitus. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is used to measure residential greenness. The tinnitus is defined based on self-reported. In the cross-sectional analyses, logistic regression models are used for the baseline sample of the United Kingdom Biobank cohort. In the secondary analysis, a Cox proportional hazard model is used for a subsample of participants who completed the tinnitus questionnaire at follow-up. In the cross-sectional analysis including 106471 participants, higher residential greenness is associated with lower odds of tinnitus for each interquartile range increase in continuous NDVI, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.97 (95% confidence interval: 0.95 to 0.99) for tinnitus. A similar association is observed in the longitudinal analysis, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.92 (95% confidence interval: 0.86 to 0.98) for the association of NDVI increased per interquartile range with incident tinnitus. Moreover, there is a significant interaction between greenness and genetic predisposition to tinnitus (P < 0.05). This study suggested that residential greenness is negatively associated with tinnitus. Greenness and genetic predisposition to tinnitus are found to have a significant interaction.

Photosynthetic organisms have evolved diverse strategies to adapt to fluctuating light conditions, balancing efficient light capture with photoprotection. In green algae and land plants, this involves specialized light-harvesting complexes (LHCs), non-photochemical quenching, and state transitions driven by dynamic remodeling of antenna proteins associated with Photosystems (PS) I and II. Euglena gracilis, a flagellate with a secondary green plastid, represents a distantly related lineage whose light-harvesting regulation remains poorly understood.

Micropollutants are widespread in wastewater systems and can impact microbial communities and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Nevertheless, the specific concentration thresholds for these effects under environmental conditions remain largely unknown. This study evaluated six micropollutants at five environmentally relevant concentrations (0.

Bioretention (BR) systems are green infrastructures used to manage runoff even in cold climates. Bacteria and fungi play a role in BR's performance. This mesocosm study investigated the influence of plant species and de-icing salt on the diversity, the community composition, and the differential abundance of bacteria and fungi in BR.

Entomopathogenic fungi can precisely inhibit the cellular and humoral immune responses of host insects by secreting effector proteins, allowing them to overcome the innate immune barriers of their hosts. Nodule formation is an immune response primarily mediated by insect hemocytes, which can rapidly and efficiently capture invading pathogenic fungi in the hemocoel. However, the molecular mechanisms by which fungi inhibit insect nodule formation through the secretion of effector proteins remain unclear.

Spodoptera frugiperda (FAW) is a notorious polyphagous pest that has developed resistance to various insecticides including diamide insecticides. Our previous study established a FAW cyantraniliprole-resistant (SfCYAN-R) strain by laboratory resistance selection of susceptible strain (SfCYAN-S), however, the potential resistance mechanisms of FAW to cyantraniliprole remain unclear. In this study, SfNrf6 encoding nose resistant to fluoxetine (Nrf) protein 6 was identified to be upregulated in SfCYAN-R strain compared with SfCYAN-S strain based on RNA-Seq data and RT-qPCR.
