    Abstract Background: Inter-leg systolic blood pressure difference (ILSBPD) has emerged as a novel cardiovascular risk factor. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of ILSBPD on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in general population.
    Methods: We combined three cycles (1999-2004) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Levels of ILSBPD were calculated and divided into four groups based on three cut-off values of 5, 10 and 15mmHg. Time-to-event curves were estimated with the use of the Kaplan-Meier method, and two multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were conducted to assess the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality associated with ILSBPD.
    Results: A total of 6 842 subjects were included, with the mean (SD) age of 59.5 (12.8) years. By December 31, 2019, 2 544 and 648 participants were identified all-cause and cardiovascular mortality respectively during a median follow-up of 16.6 years. Time-to-event analyses suggested that higher ILSBPD was associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (logrank, p < 0.001). Every 5mmHg increment of ILSBPD brings about 5% and 7% increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and individuals with an ILSBPD ≥ 15mmHg were significantly associated with higher incidence of all-cause mortality (HR 1.43, 95%CI 1.18-1.52, p < 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.73, 95%CI 1.36-2.20, p < 0.001) when multiple confounding factors were adjusted. Subgroup and sensitivity analysis confirmed the relationship.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the increment of ILSBPD was significantly associated with higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in general population.

    Abstract The co-presence of chromium (VI) [Cr(VI)] and uranium (VI) [U(VI)] is widely found in groundwater, imposing severe risks on human health. Although zerovalent iron [Fe(0)] supports superb performance for bioreduction of Cr(VI) and U(VI) individually, the biogeochemical process involving their concurrent removal with Fe(0) as electron donor remains unexplored. In the 6-d batch study, 86.1% ± 0.7% of Cr(VI) was preferentially eliminated, while 78.4% ± 0.5% of U(VI) removal was achieved simultaneously. Efficient removal of Cr(VI) (100%) and U(VI) (51.2% ∼ 100%) was also obtained in a continuous 160-d column experiment. As a result, Cr(VI) and U(VI) were reduced to less mobile Cr(III) and insoluble U(IV), respectively. 16 S rRNA sequencing was performed to investigate the dynamics of microbial community. Delftia, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas and Desulfomicrobium were the major contributors mediating the bioreduction process. The initial Cr(VI) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) incurred pronounced effects on community diversity, which in turn altered the reactor's performance. The enrichment of Cr(VI) resistance (chrA), U(VI) reduction (dsrA) and Fe(II) oxidation (mtrA) genes were observed by reverse transcription qPCR. Cytochrome c, glutathione and NADH as well as VFAs and gas metabolites also involved in the bioprocess. This study demonstrated a promising approach for removing the combined contaminants of Cr(VI) and U(VI) in groundwater.

    Abstract The effectiveness evaluation of the traceability system (TS) is a tool for enterprises to achieve the required traceability level. It plays an important role not only for planning system implementation before development but also for analyzing system performance once the system is in use. In the present work, we evaluate traceability granularity using a comprehensive and quantifiable model and try to find its influencing factors via an empirical analysis with 80 vegetable companies in Tianjin, China. We collect granularity indicators mostly through the TS platform to ensure the objectivity of the data and use the TS granularity model to evaluate the granularity score. The results show that there is an obvious imbalance in the distribution of companies as a function of score. The number of companies (21) scoring in the range (50,60) exceeded the number in the other score ranges. Furthermore, the influencing factors on traceability granularity were analyzed using a rough set method based on nine factors pre-selected using a published method. The results show that the factor "number of TS operation staff" is deleted because it is unimportant. The remaining factors rank according to importance as follows: Expected revenue > Supply chain (SC) integration degree > Cognition of TS > Certification system > Company sales > Informationization management level > System maintenance investment > Manager education level. Based on these results, the corresponding implications are given with the goal of (i) establishing the market mechanism of high price with high quality, (ii) increasing government investment for constructing the TS, and (iii) enhancing the organization of SC companies.

    Abstract Zerovalent iron [Fe(0)] can donate electron for bioprocess, but microbial uranium (VI) [U(VI)] reduction driven by Fe(0) is still poorly understood. In this study, Fe(0) supported U(VI) bio-reduction was steadily achieved in the 160-d continuous-flow biological column. The maximum removal efficiency and capacity of U(VI) were 100% and 46.4 ± 0.52 g/(m³·d) respectively, and the longevity of Fe(0) increased by 3.09 times. U(VI) was reduced to solid UO₂, while Fe(0) was finally oxidized to Fe(III). Autotrophic Thiobacillus achieved U(VI) reduction coupled to Fe(0) oxidation, verified by pure culture. H₂ produced from Fe(0) corrosion was consumed by autotrophic Clostridium for U(VI) reduction. The detected residual organic intermediates were biosynthesized with energy released from Fe(0) oxidation and utilized by heterotrophic Desulfomicrobium, Bacillus and Pseudomonas to reduce U(VI). Metagenomic analysis found the upregulated genes for U(VI) reduction (e.g., dsrA and dsrB) and Fe(II) oxidation (e.g., CYC1 and mtrA). These functional genes were also transcriptionally expressed. Cytochrome c and glutathione responsible for electron transfer also contributed to U(VI) reduction. This study reveals the independent and synergistic pathways for Fe(0)-dependent U(VI) bio-reduction, providing promising remediation strategy for U(VI)-polluted aquifers.

    Abstract The extensive application of nuclear technology has increased the potential of uncontrolled radiation exposure to the public. Since skin is the largest organ, radiation-induced skin injury remains a serious medical concern. Organisms evolutionally develop distinct strategies to protect against environment insults and the related research may bring novel insights into therapeutics development. Here, 26 increased peptides are identified in skin tissues of frogs (Pelophylax nigromaculatus) exposed to electron beams, among which four promoted the wound healing of irradiated skin in rats. Specifically, radiation-induced frog skin peptide-2 (RIFSP-2), from histone proteolysis exerted membrane permeability property, maintained cellular homeostasis, and reduced pyroptosis of irradiated cells with decreased TBK1 phosphorylation. Subsequently, stearyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is identified, a critical enzyme in biogenesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) as a direct target of RIFSP-2 based on streptavidin-biotin system. The lipidomic analysis further assured the restrain of MUFAs biogenesis by RIFSP-2 following radiation. Moreover, the decreased MUFA limited radiation-induced and STING-mediated inflammation response. In addition, genetic depletion or pharmacological inhibition of STING counteracted the decreased pyroptosis by RIFSP-2 and retarded tissue repair process. Altogether, RIFSP-2 restrains radiation-induced activation of SCD1-MUFA-STING axis. Thus, the stress-induced amphibian peptides can be a bountiful source of novel radiation mitigators.
