A Ni-O-Ag photothermal catalyst enables 103-m2 artificial photosynthesis with >17% solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency.

The scalable artificial photosynthesis composed of photovoltaic electrolysis and photothermal catalysis is limited by inefficient photothermal CO2 hydrogenation under weak sunlight irradiation. Herein, NiO nanosheets supported with Ag single atoms [two-dimensional (2D) Ni1Ag0.02O1] are synthesized for photothermal CO2 hydrogenation to achieve 1065 mmol g-1 hour-1 of CO production rate under 1-sun irradiation. This performance is attributed to the coupling effect of Ag-O-Ni sites to enhance the hydrogenation of CO2 and weaken the CO adsorption, resulting in 1434 mmol g-1 hour-1 of CO yield at 300°C. Furthermore, we integrate the 2D Ni1Ag0.02O1-supported photothermal reverse water-gas shift reaction with commercial photovoltaic electrolytic water splitting to construct a 103-m2 scale artificial photosynthesis system (CO2 + H2O → CO + H2 + O2), which achieves more than 22 m3/day of green syngas with an adjustable H2/CO ratio (0.4-3) and a photochemical energy conversion efficiency of >17%. This research charts a promising course for designing practical, natural sunlight-driven artificial photosynthesis systems.

Mouse kidney transplantation model: Three novel methods. / å°é¼ è‚¾ç§»æ¤æ¨¡åž‹ï¼š3种创新术式（英文）.

OBJECTIVES: The mouse kidney transplantation model presents challenges in terms of surgical difficulty and low success rate, making it difficult to master. This study aims to provide a crucial model for transplantation immunology research by modifying and developing novel techniques for mouse kidney transplantation. METHODS: A total of 57 pairs of mice were used to establish and compare the modified and innovative surgical techniques for mouse kidney transplantation. Three different surgical models were established, including the abdominal suture technique for orthotopic kidney transplantation, the abdominal cuff technique for orthotopic kidney transplantation, and the cervical cuff technique for ectopic kidney transplantation. BALB/c or C57BL/6 male mice, aged 8 to 12 weeks and weighed 20 to 25 g with specified pathogen free-grade were served as the donor mice or the recipient mice. The surgical technique characteristics, key surgical times, complications, and pathological examination in the early postoperative period were summarized and compared. RESULTS: Three different surgical models of mouse kidney transplantation were successfully established. The comparison of warm ischemic time for the 3 groups of mice showed no statistical significance (P=0.510 4). The abdominal suture group had the shortest total operation time of the donor compared with the abdominal cuff group and the cervical cuff group [(18.3±3.6) min vs (26.2±4.7) min and (22.8±2.5) min; both P<0.000 1]. There was a significant difference in cold ischemia time among the 3 groups (all P<0.000 1), with (60.8±4.1) min in the cervical cuff group, (43.3±5.0) min in the abdominal suture group, and (88.8±6.7) min in the abdominal cuff group. Due to different anastomosis methods, the cervical cuff group had the shortest time [(17.6±2.7) min], whereas the abdominal cuff group had the longest time [(38.8±5.4) min]. The total operation time for the recipients showed significant differences (P<0.000 1), with the abdominal suture group having the shortest time [(44.0±6.9) min], followed by the cervical cuff group [(64.1±5.2) min], and the abdominal cuff group [(80.0±6.0) min] being the longest. In the 32 mice of the abdominal suture group, there were 6 with intraoperative bleeding, including 1 arterial intimal injury bleeding and 5 with bleeding after vessel opening. Six mice had ureteral complications, including ureteral bladder anastomotic stenosis, necrosis, and renal pelvis dilation. Two mice had postoperative abdominal infections. In the abdominal cuff group, there was no intraoperative bleeding, but 6 mice showed mild arterial stenosis and 5 showed venous stenosis, 4 arterial injury, 4 arterial thrombosis, and 2 ureteral complications. No postoperative infections occurred in the mice. In the cervical cuff group, no intraoperative bleeding, arterial intimal injury, arterial/venous stenosis, or thrombosis were found in 13 mice. Five mice had ureteral complications, including ureteral necrosis and infection, which were the main complications in the cervical cuff group. The renal function in mice of the 3 groups remained stable 7 days after surgery. Hematoxylin and eosin staining and periodic acid-Schiff staining showed no significant differences in terms of acute rejection among the 3 surgical methods (all P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: All 3 surgical methods are able to successfully establish mouse kidney transplantation models, with no significant differences observed in the short-term graft survival and acute rejection. The modified abdominal suture technique and abdominal cuff technique have their respective advantages in research applications. The novel cervical cuff technique for ectopic kidney transplantation model is relatively simple to be prepared and causes less trauma to the mice, providing more options for studies involving xenotransplantation, secondary transplantation, and local lymphatic drainage. However, the difficulty in harvesting the donor kidney and the high incidence of ureteral infections need further validation in long-term survival. This study holds important reference value for choosing the type of mouse kidney transplantation model for different research needs.

A murine groin site cardiac transplantation model-applicable tool for studying roles of peripheral lymph nodes in transplantation.

The murine heterotopic cardiac transplantation model has been widely used to study antigen-specific immune responses or new immunosuppressive agents, which have a strong correlation with peripheral lymph nodes. Thus, a new organ transplantation model that is applicable to related studies is needed. Here, we describe a groin-site murine heart transplantation model using a cuff technique, in which the donor aorta and pulmonary artery are anastomosed to the truncated femoral vessels of the recipient. The mean survival time (MST) of the grafts in BALB/c-to-C57BL/6 allo-transplant group was 7.2 ± 0.3 days, and 1.9 ± 0.2 days in BALB/c-to-Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat xeno-transplant group. H&E results show that donor hearts from both groups demonstrate typical pathological features at the endpoint. Evans Blue tracing revealed that the popliteal lymph nodes of the grafted side hindlimb are larger than those of the contralateral side. Moreover, IHC staining for CD3, CD20 shows that the germinal center and cortex region of the grafted side of popliteal lymph nodes is apparently increased than that of the contralateral side. To sum up, this model may serve as an ideal model to study the role of peripheral lymph nodes in organ transplant rejection. In addition, extra-peritoneal grafting makes a step forward in animal welfare under the 3Rs' principle (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement).

Characterization and seasonal variation in biofilms attached to leaves of submerged plant.

The microorganisms and functional predictions of leaf biofilms on submerged plants (Vallisneria natans (Val)) and in water samples (surface water (S) and bottom water (B)) in different seasons were evaluated in this study. S and B groups had 3249 identical operational taxonomic units (OTUs) (50.03%), while the Val group only had 1201 (18.49%) unique OTUs. There was significant overlap between microbial communities of S and B groups in the same season, while Val group showed the greater diversity. The dominant microbial clades were Proteobacteria (18.2-47.3%), Cyanobacteria (3.74-39.3%), Actinobacteria (1.64-29.3%), Bacteroidetes (1.31-21.7%), and Firmicutes (1.10-15.72%). Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between total organic carbon and the distribution of microbial taxa (p = 0.047), and TN may have altered the status of Cyanobacteria by affecting its biological nitrogen fixation capacity and reproductive capacity. The correlation network analysis results showed that the whole system consisted of 249 positive correlations and 111 negative correlations, indicating strong interactions between microbial communities. Functional predictions indicated that microbial functions were related to seasonal variation. These findings would guide the use of submerged plants to improve the diversity and stability of wetland microbial communities.

Sunlight-driven CO2utilization over two-dimensional Co-based nanosheets.

Reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction is an intriguing strategy to realize carbon neutrality, however, the endothermic process usually needs high temperature that supplied by non-renewable fossil fuels, resulting in secondary energy and environmental issues. Photothermal catalysis are ideal substitutes for the conventional thermal catalysis, providing that high reaction efficiency is achievable. Two-dimensional (2D) materials are highly active as RWGS catalysts, however, their industrial application is restricted by the preparation cost. In this study, a series of 2D Co-based catalysts for photothermal RWGS reaction with tunable selectivity were prepared by self-assembly method based on cheap amylum, by integrating the 2D catalysts with our homemade photothermal device, sunlight driven efficient RWGS reaction was realized. The prepared 2D Co0.5Ce0.5Oxexhibited a full selectivity toward CO (100%) and could be heated to 318 °C under 1 kW m-2irradiation with the CO generation rate of 14.48 mmol g-1h-1, pointing out a cheap and universal method to prepare 2D materials, and zero consumption CO generation from photothermal RWGS reaction.

Purification of aquaculture wastewater by macrophytes and biofilm systems: Efficient removal of trace antibiotics and enrichment of antibiotic resistance genes.

The purification performance of aquaculture wastewater and the risk of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) dissemination in wetlands dominated by macrophytes remain unclear. Here, the purification effects of different macrophytes and biofilm systems on real aquaculture wastewater were investigated, as well as the distribution and abundance of ARGs. Compared to the submerged macrophytes, artificial macrophytes exhibited higher removal rates of TOC (58.80 ± 5.04 %), TN (74.50 ± 2.50 %), and TP (77.33 ± 11.66 %), and achieved approximately 79.92 % removal of accumulated trace antibiotics in the surrounding water. Additionally, the biofilm microbial communities on the surface of artificial macrophytes exhibited higher microbial diversity with fewer antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) enrichment from the surrounding water. The absolute abundance of ARGs (sul1, sul2, and intI1) in the mature biofilm to be one to two orders of magnitude higher than that in the water. Although biofilms could decrease ARGs in the surrounding water by enriching ARB, the intricate network structure of biofilms further facilitated the proliferation of ARB and the dissemination of ARGs in water. Network analysis suggested that Proteobacteria and Firmicutes phyla were dominant and potential carriers of ARGs, contributing 69.00 % and 16.70 %, respectively. Our findings highlight that macrophytes and biofilm systems have great performance on aquaculture wastewater purification, but with high risk of ARGs.

Immunoglobulin directly enhances differentiation of oligodendrocyte-precursor cells and remyelination.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease characterized by multiple lesions in the central nervous system. Although the role of B cells in MS pathogenesis has attracted much attention, but the detailed mechanisms remain unclear. To investigate the effects of B cells on demyelination, we analyzed a cuprizone-induced demyelination model, and found that demyelination was significantly exacerbated in B cell-deficient mice. We next investigated whether immunoglobulin affected the myelin formation process using organotypic brain slice cultures and revealed that remyelination was improved in immunoglobulin-treated groups compared with the control group. Analysis of oligodendrocyte-precursor cell (OPC) monocultures showed that immunoglobulins directly affected on OPCs and promoted their differentiation and myelination. Furthermore, OPCs expressed FcγRI and FcγRIII, two receptors that were revealed to mediate the effects of IgG. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that B cells act in an inhibitory manner against cuprizone-induced demyelination, while immunoglobulins enhance remyelination following demyelination. Analysis of the culture system revealed that immunoglobulins directly act on OPCs to promote their differentiation and myelination. Future studies to elucidate the effects of immunoglobulins on OPCs in vivo and the detailed mechanisms of these effects may lead to new treatments for demyelinating diseases.

Cu-based high-entropy two-dimensional oxide as stable and active photothermal catalyst.

Cu-based nanocatalysts are the cornerstone of various industrial catalytic processes. Synergistically strengthening the catalytic stability and activity of Cu-based nanocatalysts is an ongoing challenge. Herein, the high-entropy principle is applied to modify the structure of Cu-based nanocatalysts, and a PVP templated method is invented for generally synthesizing six-eleven dissimilar elements as high-entropy two-dimensional (2D) materials. Taking 2D Cu2Zn1Al0.5Ce5Zr0.5Ox as an example, the high-entropy structure not only enhances the sintering resistance from 400 °C to 800 °C but also improves its CO2 hydrogenation activity to a pure CO production rate of 417.2 mmol g-1 h-1 at 500 °C, 4 times higher than that of reported advanced catalysts. When 2D Cu2Zn1Al0.5Ce5Zr0.5Ox are applied to the photothermal CO2 hydrogenation, it exhibits a record photochemical energy conversion efficiency of 36.2%, with a CO generation rate of 248.5 mmol g-1 h-1 and 571 L of CO yield under ambient sunlight irradiation. The high-entropy 2D materials provide a new route to simultaneously achieve catalytic stability and activity, greatly expanding the application boundaries of photothermal catalysis.

Performance of co-culture strategy on nutrient removal and biogas upgrading by strigolactone induction.

In this study, we investigated the performance and elucidated the synergistic effects of microalgae-fungi symbionts co-cultured with 10-7 and 10-9  mol L-1 of GR24 and supplemented with endophytic bacteria, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) or vitamin B12 (VB12), on nutrient removal and biogas upgrading. The results showed that the microalgae-fungi-bacteria symbiotic system co-cultured with 10-9  mol L-1 GR24 presented the optimal growth performance of 0.368 ± 0.04 d-1 , chlorophyll a of 249.36 ± 22.31 µg L-1 , and extracellular carbonic anhydrase activity of 42.55 ± 3.755 enzyme units. In this co-culture system, the organic matter, nutrients, and CO2 purification obtained the highest removal efficiency, with 81.35 ± 7.96% for chemical oxygen demand, 83.56 ± 7.91% total nitrogen, 84.17 ± 7.95% total phosphorus, and 63.72 ± 6.06% CO2 . The symbiont system also greatly increased the methane content in the biogas by 30.67%. The remarkable performance of the microalgae-fungi-bacteria symbiotic system shows its ability to be broadly applied in simultaneous biogas upgrading and wastewater treatment. PRACTITIONER POINTS: The optimal GR24 concentration for microalgae-fungi consortia was 10-9  M. Endophytic bacteria were superior to MWCNTs and VB12. Fungi-algae-bacteria consortia presented excellent growth and removal performance. Removal efficiencies of COD, TN, and TP were about 81% under optimum treatment.

DsbA-L deletion attenuates LPS-induced acute kidney injury by modulating macrophage polarization.

Disulfide bond A oxidoreductase-like protein (DsbA-L) drives acute kidney injury (AKI) by directly upregulating the expression of voltage-dependent anion-selective channels in proximal tubular cells. However, the role of DsbA-L in immune cells remains unclear. In this study, we used an LPS-induced AKI mouse model to assess the hypothesis that DsbA-L deletion attenuates LPS-induced AKI and explore the potential mechanism of DsbA-L action. After 24 hours of LPS exposure, the DsbA-L knockout group exhibited lower serum creatinine levels compared to the WT group. Furthermore, peripheral levels of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6 were decreased. Transcriptomic data analysis revealed a significant down-regulation in the IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor pathways in DsbA-L knockout mice following LPS induction. Metabolomic analysis suggested that arginine metabolism was significantly different between the WT and DsbA-L knockout groups after LPS treatment. Notably, the M1 polarization of macrophages in the kidneys of DsbA-L knockout AKI mice was significantly reduced. Expression of the transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1 was downregulated after DsbA-L knockout. Our results suggest that DsbA-L regulates LPS-mediated oxidative stress, promotes M1 polarization of macrophages, and induces expression of inflammatory factors via the NF-κB/AP-1 pathway.

Effect of different size microplastic particles on the construction of algal-bacterial biofilms and microbial communities.

Algal-bacterial symbiotic system is a biological purification system that combines sewage treatment with resource utilization and has the dual effects of carbon sequestration and pollution reduction. In this study, an immobilized algal-bacterial biofilm system was constructed for the treatment of natural sewage. Effects of exposure to microplastics (MPs) with different particle diameters (0.065 µm, 0.5 µm and 5 µm) were determined in terms of algal biomass recovery efficiency, the composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and morphologic characteristics. The impacts of MPs on the bacterial diversity and community structure of biofilms were also examined. The metagenomic analysis of key microorganisms and related metabolism pathways involved in system was further investigated. Results showed that following exposure to 5 µm MP, a maximum algal recovery efficiency of 80% was achieved, with a minimum PSII primary light energy conversion efficiency (Fv/Fm ratio) of 0.513. Furthermore, 5 µm MP caused the highest level of damage to the algal-bacterial biofilm, enhancing the secretion of protein-rich EPS. The biofilm morphology became rough and loose following exposure to 0.5 µm and 5 µm MP. Community diversity and richness were significantly high in biofilms exposed to 5 µm MP. Proteobacteria (15.3-24.1%), Firmicutes (5.0-7.8%) and Actinobacteria (4.2-4.9%) were dominant in all groups, with exposure to 5 µm MP resulting in the highest relative abundance for these species. The addition of MPs promoted the related metabolic functions while inhibited the degradation of harmful substances by algal-bacterial biofilms. The findings have environmental significance for the practical application of algal-bacterial biofilms for sewage treatment, providing novel insights into the potential effects of MPs on immobilized algal-bacterial biofilm systems.

Supplementation of 5-deoxystrigol for higher pollutant removal and biogas quality improvement by different microalgae-based technologies.

The treatment of biogas slurry by microalgae technology has the characteristics of low cost, environmental protection, and high efficiency. In this paper, the effects of four microalgae technologies, namely, monoculture of Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus), co-culture of S. obliquus-activated sludge, co-culture of S. obliquus-Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum), and co-culture of S. obliquus-G. lucidum-activated sludge, on the treatment of biogas slurry were investigated. In addition, the effects of 5-deoxystrigol (5-DS) concentration and mixed light wavelengths (red-blue light intensity ratio) on nutrient removal and biogas upgrading were also investigated. The results showed that 5-DS significantly promoted the growth and photosynthetic performance of the microalgal system. The best purification performance could be achieved by co-cultivation of S. obliquus-G. lucidum-activated sludge when the 5-DS concentration was 10-11  M, and the red-blue light intensity ratio was 5:5 (225:225 µmol m-2  s-1 ). The maximum average removal efficiencies for chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) were 83.25 ± 7.87%, 83.62 ± 7.78%, 84.19 ± 8.25%, and 71.68 ± 6.73%, respectively. The co-culture technology of S. obliquus-G. lucidum-activated sludge had great potential and superiority in removing nutrients from biogas slurry and upgrading biogas at the same time. The results of this study will provide a reference for the simultaneous purification of wastewater and upgrading of biogas using microalgae technology. PRACTITIONER POINTS: S. obliquus-G. lucidum-activated sludge consortium showed the best removal performance. 10-11 M 5-DS greatly promoted the purification performance. Removal efficiencies of COD, TN, and TP were more than 83%.

Peripheral interstitial lung abnormalities on LDCT in an asymptomatic, nonsmoking Chinese urban cohort.

To retrospectively investigate the imaging features and the related influencing factors of peripheral interstitial lung abnormalities (PILA) that caused "normal aging" by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) in an nonsmoking, asymptomatic Chinese urban cohort. The clinical data of 733 subjects who underwent chest LDCT were retrospectively collected. The computed tomography (CT) signs of PILA (interlobular septal thickening [ILST], intralobular interstitial thickening [ILIT], ground-glass opacity [GGO], reticular shadow [RS], subpleural line [SL]) were evaluated at 6 levels and statistically analyzed. The effects of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and blood biochemistry parameters on ILST, ILIT, and RS were analyzed by Binary Logistic regression analysis. Significant age differences in PILA were found. None of the 5 PILA CT signs (GGO, ILST, ILIT, RS, and SL) was observed in subjects under 40 years old, while in subjects over 40 years old, the incidence of PILA increased with age. All 5 CT signs of PILA were significantly different among the subjects aged 18 to 49, 50 to 69, and 70 to 79 (P < .05). There was no significant sex difference in PILA. Among age, sex, BMI, BP, and laboratory biochemistry parameters, only age had a significant effect on ILST, ILIT, and RS. LDCT can be used as a noninvasive method to evaluate the PILA. PILA were mainly affected by age, while sex, BMI, BP, and laboratory biochemistry parameters had little effect on PILA. PILA observed before the age of 40 years should be considered an abnormal finding, whereas it is common in individuals over 70.

Co0 -Coδ+ Interface Double-Site-Mediated C-C Coupling for the Photothermal Conversion of CO2 into Light Olefins.

Solar-driven CO2 hydrogenation into multi-carbon products is a highly desirable, but challenging reaction. The bottleneck of this reaction lies in the C-C coupling of C1 intermediates. Herein, we construct the C-C coupling centre for C1 intermediates via the in situ formation of Co0 -Coδ+ interface double sites on MgAl2 O4 (Co-CoOx /MAO). Our experimental and theoretical prediction results confirmed the effective adsorption and activation of CO2 by the Co0 site to produce C1 intermediates, while the introduction of the electron-deficient state of Coδ+ can effectively reduce the energy barrier of the key CHCH* intermediates. Consequently, Co-CoOx /MAO exhibited a high C2-4 hydrocarbons production rate of 1303 µmol g-1 h-1 ; the total organic carbon selectivity of C2-4 hydrocarbons is 62.5 % under light irradiation with a high ratio (≈11) of olefin to paraffin. This study provides a new approach toward the design of photocatalysts used for CO2 conversion into C2+ products.

Nanostructured Materials for Photothermal Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation: Regulating Solar Utilization and Catalytic Performance.

Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added fuels or chemicals through photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation is a promising approach to alleviate the energy shortage and global warming. Understanding the nanostructured material strategies in the photothermal catalytic CO2 hydrogenation process is vital for designing photothermal devices and catalysts and maximizing the photothermal CO2 hydrogenation performance. In this Perspective, we first describe several essential nanomaterial design concepts to enhance sunlight absorption and utilization in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation. Subsequently, we review the latest progress in photothermal CO2 hydrogenation into C1 (e.g., CO, CH4, and CH3OH) and multicarbon hydrocarbon (C2+) products. Finally, the relevant challenges and opportunities in this exciting research realm are discussed. This perspective provides a comprehensive understanding for the light-heat synergy over nanomaterials and instruction for rational photothermal catalyst design for CO2 utilization.

Altered gut microbiome composition by appendectomy contributes to colorectal cancer.

Appendectomy impacts the homeostasis of gut microbiome in patients. We aimed to study the role of appendectomy in colorectal cancer (CRC) risk through causing gut microbial dysbiosis. Population-based longitudinal study (cohort 1, n = 129,155) showed a 73.0% increase in CRC risk among appendectomy cases throughout 20 years follow-up (Adjusted sub-distribution hazard ratio (SHR) 1.73, 95% CI 1.49-2.01, P < 0.001). Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on fecal samples from cohort 2 (n = 314). Gut microbial dysbiosis in appendectomy subjects was observed with significant enrichment of 7 CRC-promoting bacteria (Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides fragilis, Veillonella dispar, Prevotella ruminicola, Prevotella fucsa, Prevotella dentalis, Prevotella denticola) and depletion of 5 beneficial commensals (Blautia sp YL58, Enterococcus hirae, Lachnospiraceae bacterium Choco86, Collinsella aerofaciens, Blautia sp SC05B48). Microbial network analysis showed increased correlation strengths among enriched bacteria and their enriched oncogenic pathways in appendectomy subjects compared to controls. Of which, B. fragilis was the centrality in the network of the enriched bacteria. We further confirmed that appendectomy promoted colorectal tumorigenesis in mice by causing gut microbial dysbiosis and impaired intestinal barrier function. Collectively, this study revealed appendectomy-induced microbial dysbiosis characterized by enriched CRC-promoting bacteria and depleted beneficial commensals, signifying that the gut microbiome may play a crucial role in CRC development induced by appendectomy.

[Big Data Management and Application: Specialty Construction Overview and Exploration of Personnel Training System in Medical Schools].

Focusing on the undergraduate specialty construction of big data management and application in medical colleges and universities in the context of New Medical Education, we first analyzed, in this paper, the demand for trained personnel of this specialization and the status of program construction at the national and regional levels. Then, taking Anhui Medical University as an example, a key medical university in Anhui Province, we introduced the preparations made by medical colleges and universities to set up big data management and application specialty. Finally, from the perspectives of the objectives of personnel training, curriculum system, and practical teaching system, we presented in detail the exploratory efforts made by Anhui Medical University to construct a training system for personnel specializing in big data management and application. In this paper, we reported mainly the work done on the exploration of the personnel training curriculum system, covering general education, professional education, and extracurricular activities, highlighting the interdisciplinary characteristics of a personnel training curricular system that integrates medicine, engineering, and management. We also reported on a practice teaching system that combined in-class practical teaching and extracurricular activities, and that incorporated tiered contents of increasing challenge--basic practice level, cognitive practice level, comprehensive practice level, and innovative practice level. This study is expected to provide useful references for the training of personnel specializing in medical big data in the context of New Medical Education.

Response of submerged macrophytes and leaf biofilms to different concentrations of oxytetracycline and sulfadiazine.

Oxytetracycline and sulfadiazine were widely used and they entered the environment through various channels such as domestic sewage, medical wastewater and agricultural wastewater, causing significant ecological risk. To determine the effects of different antibiotic concentrations on submerged macrophytes, Vallisneria natans was exposed to solutions containing different concentrations of oxytetracycline and sulfadiazine (0.1 mg/L、1 mg/L、10 mg/L、50 mg/L). After 20-days exposure, we found that 10 mg/L groups had a significant effect on Vallisneria natans. Under high antibiotic concentrations, the growth of Vallisneria natans was inhibited, chloroplasts were deformed, the chlorophyll content was reduced, and antioxidant enzyme activities, such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione, were increased. There was no significant difference between the control group and groups with low antibiotic concentrations (≤1 mg/L). The N-acyl-l-homoserine lactone concentration tended to increase with increasing antibiotic concentrations. The presence of antibiotics also affected the microbial community structure of biofilms on the submerged macrophytes. For example, the higher the concentration of antibiotics, the higher the proportion of Proteobacteria. These results suggest that high concentrations of oxytetracycline and sulfadiazine can disrupt homeostasis, induce effective Vallisneria natans defense mechanisms and alter biofilms in aquatic ecosystems.
