    Abstract The human bitter taste 2 receptor member 16 (TAS2R16) is one of 25 class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and responds to a variety of molecules responsible for the bitter taste sensation perceived in humans. TAS2R16 can be activated by β-glucopyranosides, and its activation can be inhibited by probenecid, a synthetic drug compound used to treat gout. In this study we describe naturally derived compounds which can inhibit the activation of TAS2R16 by salicin

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Tonglong Kaibi Prescription (TKP) in the treatment of severe BPH with kidney deficiency and blood stasis combined with damp heat syndrome.
    Methods: We randomly divided 120 cases of severe BPH with kidney deficiency and blood stasis combined with damp heat syndrome into three groups of equal number, treated with TKP, doxazosin mesylate sustained-release tablets (the DM control), and TKP + DM, all for 8 weeks. We obtained the IPSS, TCM symptoms scores, quality of life (QOL) scores, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) from the patients before and after treatment and compared them among the three groups.
    Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, the effectiveness rate was significantly higher in the TKP + DM than in the DM control group (P < 0.05). The IPSS, TCM symptoms scores, QOL scores and PVR decreased (P < 0.01), while the Qmax increased dramatically (P < 0.01) in all the three groups. Pairwise comparison showed that the IPSS and QOL scores were lower in the TKP + DM than in the TKP and DM control groups (P < 0.05 or 0.01), and so were the TCM syndrome scores in the TKP + DM and TKP groups than in the DM control (P < 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in PVR and Qmax among the three groups after treatment (P> 0.05), and no serious adverse events during the treatment.
    Conclusion: TKP is safe and effective in the treatment of severe BPH, which can improve the TCM symptoms, reduce the IPSS, QOL scores and PVR and increase the Qmax of the patients. TKP is evidently superior to DM alone in improving TCM symptoms of BPH and combined medication of TKP and DM produces even better clinical efficacy.

    Abstract In this work, multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking methods have been conducted in the investigation of enantioselective interactions between diclazuril enantiomers and human/bovine serum albumins (HSA/BSA). The binding constants between serum albumins (SAs) and diclazuril enantiomers revealed that SAs exhibited stronger binding affinity for (R)-diclazuril than (S)-enantiomer. In addition, the fluorescence quenching of SAs induced by diclazuril enantiomers was ascribed to static quenching mechanism, in which hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces were the main interactions. According to the thermodynamic study, binding of diclazuril enantiomers and SAs was an exothermic process driven by enthalpy change. Then, circular dichroism spectroscopy of SAs with diclazuril enantiomers revealed that the SAs conformation had changed in the presence of diclazuril. Moreover, molecular docking technology was applied in exploration of interactions between SAs and diclazuril enantiomers. The docking energy between SAs and (R)-diclazuril was larger than (S)-diclazuril, which indicated that the affinity of SAs with (R)-diclazuril was stronger than (S)-enantiomer. This work may provide valuable information for explaining differences in pharmacokinetics and residue elimination of diclazuril enantiomers in living organisms.

    Abstract Based on statistical data from 2005 to 2019, we used the back propagation (BP) neural network model to predict the production amount of plastic waste in Chengdu. In addition to the amount of waste produced we wanted to achieve an understanding of its composition and environmental impacts. Compositions of plastic waste were analyzed by sampling. Particulate matter in the air and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from plastic waste incineration, bisphenol A (BPA) from plastic waste landfills, were also evaluated. Results indicated that (a) economic development, urban construction level, and residents' consumption were pusitively correlated to different degrees to plastic waste production; (b) the production of plastic waste in Chengdu in 2025 and 2030 will reach 865.3 and 931 kilotons (Kt), respectively; (c) high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) are the two main components of plastic waste in Chengdu and accounted for 40.17% and 24.96%, respectively; (d) different degrees of environmental impacts occurred during plastic waste incineration and landfill (taking 2019 as an example, the incineration of plastic waste in Chengdu produced between 2874.82 and 4711.73 tons of inhalable particulate matter (PM) and emitted between 725.4 and 867.4 Kt of CO

    Abstract Rapid global population growth increases the human demand for food. Reliance on the high input of agrochemicals in agricultural production has been shown to be unsustainable and cost ineffective. The combination of planting and breeding can maximize the utilization of agricultural resources. A novel crop–earthworm coculture model has been gradually practiced in urban agriculture in eastern China. We conducted a four-year successive study of taro–earthworm coculture farming to determine the ecological and economic benefits of the model. Our results indicated that earthworm activities in the taro–earthworm coculture system increased taro yield, economic value and net income by depleting the weed seed bank, mitigating weed infestation, and reducing the need for weeding. Compared with those in mono-taro farming, the four-year mean seed bank densities of total weeds, grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds in taro–earthworm farming decreased by 37.1%, 44.4% and 32.2%, respectively; the weed density, biomass, species richness and diversity and need for weeding decreased by 54.1%, 48.3%, 20.8%, 8.2% and 39.7%, respectively; and the taro yield, economic value and net income increased by 19.7%, 19.7% and 50.7%, respectively. Our study suggests that earthworm activities provide ecosystem services in agricultural systems, and the coculture of taro and earthworms enhances crop production by mitigating weed infestation and improving environmental quality.

    Abstract Chiral triazole pesticides may cause enantioselectively adverse effects to non-target organisms. In this work, we employed zebrafish as an aquatic organism model to explore stereoselective acute toxicity, bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, and thyroid disruption of cis-metconazole enantiomers. The median lethal concentration values of (1S, 5R)-metconazole, (1R, 5S)-metconazole, and the mixture of them against zebrafish were 4.01, 2.61 and 3.17 mg⋅L⁻¹, respectively. (1R, 5S)-Metconazole was preferentially bioaccumulated in zebrafish than (1S, 5R)-metconazole, and the bioconcentration factor of (1R, 5S)-metconazole was 1.28-fold larger than that of (1S, 5R)-metconazole. Then, the activity order of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione-S transferase enzymes in zebrafish was expressed as (1S, 5R)-metconazole > the mixture > (1R, 5S)-metconazole, while the order of malondialdehyde content in zebrafish was (1R, 5S)-metconazole > the mixture > (1S, 5R)-metconazole. Moreover, cis-metconazole exhibited enantioselective regulation effects on the levels of triiodothyronine and thyroxine in zebrafish, and (1R, 5S)-metconazole possessed stronger thyroid disruption ability to zebrafish than the others. By virtue of molecular docking methodology, the binding affair and docking energy results supported that interactions between (1R, 5S)-metconazole and thyroid hormone receptors were much stronger than those between (1S, 5R)-metconazole and same receptors. This study of enantioselective evaluation of cis-metconazole in zebrafish can provide favorable information for risk assessments of chiral pesticides toward environment and health of aquatic organisms.

    Abstract Soybean is the major food and oil crop in the world. However, soybean continuous cropping can significantly reduce soybean yield. In this study, the effects of Rhizophagus intraradices on soybean growth and the composition of microbial communities in soybean roots under different continuous cropping regimes were investigated at maturity. The results showed that the mycorrhizal colonization rate was affected by R. intraradices and soybean continuous cropping. The mycorrhizal colonization rate was the highest in the inoculated soybean plants under 1 year of continuous cropping. Inoculation of R. intraradices significantly increased soybean plant growth. The greatest biomass parameters were obtained from the soybean plants inoculated with R. intraradices under 0 years of continuous cropping. Bacterial diversity was decreased by soybean continuous cropping, while the opposite result occurred for fungal diversity. Moreover, inoculation of R. intraradices could increase and decrease the diversity of bacteria and fungi in soybean roots, respectively. It also indicated that R. intraradices and soybean continuous cropping had significant effects on the composition of microbial communities in soybean roots. Proteobacteria and Ascomycota were the most dominant bacterial and fungal phylum in all samples, respectively. It would contribute to developing a biocontrol strategy to alleviate the soybean continuous cropping obstacles.
