RESUMO
Accumulation of persistent organic pollutants polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil has become a global problem. Composting is considered one of the more economical methods of soil remediation and is important for the resourceful use of wastes. Agroforestry waste is produced in huge amounts and is utilized at low rates, hence there is an urgent need to manage it. Here, leaf (LVS) or rice straw (SVS) was co-composting with aged contaminated soil to investigate bacteria interaction to PAHs degradation and humus formation. The degradation rate of high molecular weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs) in LVS and SVS reached 58.9% and 52.5%, and the low molecular weight PAHs (LMW-PAHs) were 77.5% and 65%. Meanwhile, the humus increased by 44.8% and 60.5% in LVS and SVS at the end of co-composting. The topological characteristics and community assembly of the bacterial community showed that LVS had higher complexity and more keystones than SVS, suggesting that LVS might more beneficial for the degradation of PAHs. The stability of the co-occurrence network and stochastic processes (dispersal limitation) dominated community assembly made SVS beneficial for humus formation. Mantel test and structural equation models indicated that the transformation of organic matter was important for PAHs degradation and humus formation. Degradation of HMW-PAHs led to bacterial succession, which affected the formation of precursors and ultimately increased the humus content. This study provided potential technology support for improving the quality of agroforestry organic waste composting and degrading PAHs in aged contaminated soil.

The mineralization of organic components releases CO2 during composting, which not only leads to the loss of organic carbon, but has a direct negative impact on the environment. Malonic acid as a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase could affect the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and reduce CO2 emissions. However, the bacterial interaction and organic component transformation has less known how to malonic acid reduce CO2 and improve of humus synthesis in complex composting. The aim of this study was to investigated the malonic acid on organic carbon sequestration and transforming cow manure waste into products with high humus content. Humus content was elevated by 16.8% and cumulative CO2 emissions (30 d)d reduced by 13.6% after malonic acid addition compared to the CK. SparCC analysis of bacterial interaction presented that the network complexity and stability was more higher with malonic acid addition, while a greater concentration of keystones and their ecological metabolic functions was observed, suggesting they weaken the influence of TCA cycle inhibition by enhancing interactions. PICRUSt predictions indicate that malonic acid might enhance humus content by promoting the synthesis of polyphenols and polymerization with amino acids. This study investigated the potential mechanism of regulators to enhance quality and reduce emissions during humification process, providing a new strategy for the resource utilization of organic solid waste.

To solve polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution, composting was chosen as a remediation method. During composting, the dissipation of PAHs was carried out by resource utilization of organic solid waste and its degradation by bacteria. This study was conducted by co-composting with contaminated soil and cow manure. The results showed that the degradation rates of naphthalene (Nap), phenanthrene (Phe), and benzo[α]pyrene (BaP) could reach 82.2%, 79.4%, and 59.6% respectively during composting. Cluster analysis indicated that polyphenol oxidase (PPO), laccase, and protease were important drivers of PAHs transformation. The content of humic substances (HS) was 106.67 g/kg in PAH treatment, which was significantly higher than that in the control group at 65 days. The phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) and network analysis was used to infer the degradation mechanism of PAHs by microorganisms. The degradation of PAHs by PPO was found to have a significant contribution to the formation of HS. It was shown that PAHs and metabolic intermediates were more inclined to be oxidized and decomposed by PPO to form quinone, which in turn condensed with amino acids to form HS. Composting could promote the degradation of PAHs while improving the quality of compost, achieving a win-win situation.

BACKGROUND: Retear after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) consistently challenges medical staff and patients, and the incidence of retear after surgery is 10%-94%. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors that cause retear after ARCR and provide theoretical guidance for clinical intervention to reduce the occurrence of postoperative rotator cuff retear. METHODS: The protocol for this meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021225088). PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for observational studies on risk factors for rotator cuff retear after arthroscopic repair. Meta-analytical methods were used to determine the odds ratio or weighted mean difference of potential risk factors related to postoperative rotator cuff retear. Stata 15.1 was used to quantitatively evaluate the publication bias of the statistical results. RESULTS: Fourteen studies from 6 countries with a total of 5693 patients were included. The meta-analysis revealed that the risk factors for retear after rotator cuff repair were age, body mass index, diabetes, subscapularis and infraspinatus fatty infiltration, symptom duration, bone mineral density, tear length, tear width, tear size area, amount of retraction, critical shoulder angle, acromiohumeral interval, distance from the musculotendinous junction to the glenoid, operative duration, biceps procedure, and postoperative University of California Los Angeles shoulder score. CONCLUSION: These findings can help clinical medical staff identify patients who are prone to retear early after arthroscopic repair and develop targeted prevention and treatment strategies for modifiable risk factors, which are of great significance for reducing the occurrence of rotator cuff retear after ARCR.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a cluster of highly hazardous organic pollutants that are widespread in ecosystems and threaten human health. Composting has been shown to be an effective strategy for PAHs degredation. Here, we used Comamonas testosteroni as an inoculant in composting and investigated the potential mechanisms of PAHs degradation by co-occurrence network and structural equation modelling analysis. The results showed that more than 60% of PAHs were removed and the bacterial community responded to the negative effects of PAHs by upgrading the network. Inoculation with C. testosteroni altered bacterial community succession, intensified bacterial response to PAHs, improved metabolic activity, and promoted the degradation of PAHs during co-composting. The increased in the positive cohesion index of the community suggested that agents increased the cooperative behaviour between bacteria and led to changes in keystones of the bacterial network. However, the topological values of C. testosteroni in the network were not elevated, which confirmed that C. testosteroni altered communities by affecting other bacterial growth rather than its own colonisation. This study strengthens our comprehension of the potential mechanisms for the degradation of PAHs in inoculated composting.

This study aimed to evaluate differences in humic substance (HS) formation based on the shikimic acid pathway (SAP) during five different materials composting. The results showed that compared with other three materials, gallic acid, protocatechuic acid and shikimic acid of the SAP products in lawn waste (LW) and garden waste (GW) compost decreased significantly. Furthermore, as important indicators for evaluating humification, humic acid and degree of polymerization increased by 39.4%, 79.5% and 21.8%, 87.9% in LW and GW, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that SAP products were strongly correlated with HS fractions in LW and GW. Meanwhile, network analysis indicated that more core bacteria associated with both SAP products and HS were identified in LW and GW. Finally, the structural equation model proved that SAP had more significant contribution to humification improvement in LW and GW. These findings provided theoretical foundation and feasible actions to improve compost quality by the SAP.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The clinical efficacy of Xianling Gubao capsule (XLGB) and its combination therapy in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) was systematically evaluated by frequency-based network meta-analysis. METHODS: We searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases to identify clinical trials of XLGB for the treatment of PMOP from the establishment of each database to November 22, 2021. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by using the risk of bias assessment tool version 2.0 (Rob 2.0) recommended by Cochrane. Stata 14.0 was applied for statistical analysis of the data, and the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was used to rank the intervention measures of each outcome index. RESULTS: This study included 22 clinical trials (including 19 RCTs and 3 non-RCTs) involving 12 drug therapies. According to the results of the network meta-analysis and SUCRA, the best three interventions for improving lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) are XLGB+BP+calcium (83.7%), XLGB+BP (68.5.7%) and XLGB+VD (67.1%). XLGB+calcium was the best combination regimen for improving femoral neck BMD and increasing bone Gla protein (BGP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) contents in serum. The SUCRA values of XLGB+calcium for improving the three outcome indicators were 68.0%, 59.5% and 82.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this network meta-analysis show that combined application of XLGB can effectively improve BMD and serum BGP and ALP compared to calcium alone, VD or BP. In the future, multicenter, large-sample and double-blind clinical RCTs should be carried out to supplement and verify the results of this study.

Macrophages, a major subset of innate immune cells, are main infiltrating cells in the kidney in lupus nephritis. Macrophages with different phenotypes exert diverse or even opposite effects on the development of lupus nephritis. Substantial evidence has shown that macrophage M2 polarization is beneficial to individuals with chronic kidney disease. Further, it has been reported that PD-1 ligands (PD-Ls) contribute to M2 polarization of macrophages and their immunosuppressive effects. Total glucosides of paeony (TGP), originally extracted from Radix Paeoniae Alba, has been approved in China to treat some autoimmune diseases. Here, we investigated the potentially therapeutic effects of TGP on lupus nephritis in a pristane-induced murine model and explored the molecular mechanisms regulating macrophage phenotypes. We found that TGP treatment significantly improved renal function by decreasing the urinary protein and serum creatinine, reducing serum anti-ds-DNA level and ameliorating renal immunopathology. TGP increased the frequency of splenic and peritoneal F4/80+CD11b+CD206+ M2-like macrophages with no any significant effect on F4/80+CD11b+CD86+ M1-like macrophages. Immunofluorescence double-stainings of the renal tissue showed that TGP treatment increased the frequency of F4/80+Arg1+ subset while decreasing the percentage of F4/80+iNOS+ subset. Importantly, TGP treatment increased the percentage of both F4/80+CD11b+PD-L1+ and F4/80+CD11b+PD-L2+ subsets in spleen and peritoneal lavage fluid as well as the kidney. Furthermore, TGP augmented the expressions of CD206, PD-L2 and phosphorylated STAT6 in IL-4-treated Raw264.7 macrophages in vitro while its effects on PD-L2 were abolished by pretreatment of the cells with an inhibitor of STAT6, AS1517499. However, TGP treatment did not affect the expressions of STAT1 and PD-L1 in Raw264.7 macrophages treated with LPS/IFN-γ in vitro, indicating a possibly indirect effect of TGP on PD-L1 expression on macrophages in vivo. Thus, for the first time, we demonstrated that TGP may be a potent drug to treat lupus nephritis by inducing F4/80+CD11b+CD206+ and F4/80+CD11b+PD-L2+ macrophages through IL-4/STAT6/PD-L2 signaling pathway.
