RESUMO
Utilizing livestock manure as organic fertilizer in sustainable agriculture is crucial and should be developed through an appropriate manufacturing process. Solid-liquid separation contributes to reducing odor, managing nutrients in livestock excretions, and lowering the cost of transporting manure to arable soil. To investigate the impact of fermentation after solid-liquid separation, we examined the specific correlation between chemical properties and bacterial communities in solid-liquid manures before and after the fermentation process. In terms of chemical properties before fermentation, the levels of electrical conductivity, nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N), potassium, sodium, and chloride were higher in the liquid sample than in the solid sample. However, the chemical components of the liquid sample decreased during fermentation, which could be attributed to the low organic matter content. Many chemical components increased in the solid samples during fermentation. Fifty-six bacterial species were significantly correlated with NH4+-N and phosphorus. Following fermentation, their abundance increased in the solid samples and decreased in the liquid samples, indicating the potential for NH4+-N release or phosphorus mineralization from organic matter. These results provide information regarding changes in nutrient and bacterial formation when applying the fermentation process after solid-liquid separation.

Acquired resistance to lapatinib is a highly problematic clinical barrier that has to be overcome for a successful cancer treatment. Despite efforts to determine the mechanisms underlying acquired lapatinib resistance (ALR), no definitive genetic factors have been reported to be solely responsible for the acquired resistance in breast cancer. Therefore, we performed a cross-platform meta-analysis of three publically available microarray datasets related to breast cancer with ALR, using the R-based RankProd package. From the meta-analysis, we were able to identify a total of 990 differentially expressed genes (DEGs, 406 upregulated, 584 downregulated) that are potentially associated with ALR. Gene ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of the DEGs showed that "response to organic substance" and "p53 signaling pathway" may be largely involved in ALR process. Of these, many of the top 50 upregulated and downregulated DEGs were found in oncogenesis of various tumors and cancers. For the top 50 DEGs, we constructed the gene coexpression and protein-protein interaction networks from a huge database of well-known molecular interactions. By integrative analysis of two systemic networks, we condensed the total number of DEGs to six common genes (LGALS1, PRSS23, PTRF, FHL2, TOB1, and SOCS2). Furthermore, these genes were confirmed in functional module eigens obtained from the weighted gene correlation network analysis of total DEGs in the microarray datasets ("GSE16179" and "GSE52707"). Our integrative meta-analysis could provide a comprehensive perspective into complex mechanisms underlying ALR in breast cancer and a theoretical support for further chemotherapeutic studies.
