The corrosion of metal mesh and the adsorption of plastic mesh affect the biogeochemical cycles of soil carbon and iron during cut slopes restoration formed by road construction in mountainous areas. However, the carbon-iron coupling and its contribution to soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks during cut slopes restoration remains unclear. Herein, this study selected four types of restored cut slopes (cut slope with natural restoration (CSN), cut slope with plastic mesh restoration (CSP), cut slope with galvanized wire mesh restoration (CSG), and natural slopes (NS)) as research objects, and analyzed the effects of iron oxide fractions and bacterial communities in different aggregate sizes on iron-bound organic carbon (OC-Fe) and SOC stocks. The results showed that the content of iron oxide fractions was highest in CSG, and the difference was significant compared with that in CSN and CSP (P < 0.05). Although the restoration process explained the majority of variations in iron oxide fractions and Free, activation, and complexing indexes for Fe, aggregate size and their interactions still significantly (P < 0.05) affected iron oxides distribution. The network formed by bacterial communities and iron oxide fractions in silt + clay was more complex than that in large macro-aggregates, small macro-aggregates and micro-aggregates. Complex iron oxide (Fep), free iron oxide (Fed), comp1 and comp2 (the first two major components of Partial least squares discriminant analysis based on Bray-Curtis distance) contributed significantly (P < 0.05) to the difference of OC-Fe and SOC stocks in each aggregate size. Bacterial community composition, diversity and iron oxide fractions explained more than 90 % of the variation in OC-Fe and SOC stocks. Additionally, comp1, comp2 and Fep had the greatest contribution to OC-Fe and SOC stocks in each aggregate size. Our research showed that the carbon-iron coupling in small macro-aggregates was more conducive to OC-Fe sequestration and SOC stocks in cut slopes restoration.

Background: Twin and singleton growth might be adaptively different to maximise survival in a shared intrauterine environment, translating to smaller average twin birthweight. We aimed to compare growth trajectories and risks of overweight and obesity between twins and singletons.
Methods: We leveraged height, weight, and BMI data from two large and ongoing nationally representative cohorts, the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Child and Young Adult (NLSY-CYA), that have prospectively collected data from children born in the UK between Sept 1, 2000, and Jan 11, 2002, and participants born in the USA between December, 1970, and January, 2008, respectively, every 2-3 years from birth to adulthood.

Objective: Multi-marathoners, usually 100 Marathon Club members, have completed dozens or even hundreds of marathons. While physiological benefits of endurance running are established, the psychological impacts, particularly depression and anxiety, remain underexamined. This study compared depression and anxiety in multi-marathoners with population norms and examined differences by age, gender, and psychological subgroup.

Extensive cut slopes resulting from anthropogenic engineering activities in alpine mining areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have led to soil structure fragmentation and nutrient loss, threatening ecosystem stability. This study systematically compared soil aggregate stability and carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus nutrient characteristics among three restoration methods for cut slopes (three-dimensional netting [TCS], frame beams [FCS], and galvanized wire mesh [GCS]) relative to unrestored cut slopes (UCS) in the Jiama Mining Area, Tibet. The results demonstrated that TCS and FCS significantly increased the proportion of soil macroaggregates (>0.

Introduction: Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has seen growing adoption, with over 30% of primary TKA procedures in Japan using CAS as of 2021. Augmented reality (AR) navigation has emerged as a novel alternative, providing real-time visualization and high-precision guidance during surgery. However, standardized protocols, long-term outcomes, and quantitative accuracy data remain limited.

Background: The Bronchial Provocation Test (BPT) is the gold standard for diagnosing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in suspected asthma patients but is time-consuming and resource-intensive. This study explores the potential of baseline pulmonary function parameters, particularly small airway indices, in predicting AHR and develops a machine learning-based model to improve screening efficiency and reduce unnecessary BPT referrals.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed baseline pulmonary function data and BPT results from Henan Provincial People's Hospital (May to September 2024).
