    Abstract As a sugar additive, fructose is widely used in processed foods and beverages. Excessive fructose consumption can cause hepatic steatosis and dyslipidemia, leading to the development of metabolic syndrome. Recent research revealed that fructose-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is related to several pathological processes, including: (1) augmenting lipogenesis; (2) leading to mitochondrial dysfunction; (3) stimulating the activation of inflammatory pathways; and (4) causing insulin resistance. Cellular signaling research indicated that partial factors play significant roles in fructose-induced NAFLD, involving liver X receptor (LXR)α, sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1/1c, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FAS), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α (PPARα), leptin nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Until now, a series of natural products have been reported as regulators of NAFLD in vivo and in vitro. This paper reviews the natural products (e.g., curcumin, resveratrol, and (−)-epicatechin) and their mechanisms of ameliorating fructose-induced NAFLD over the past years. Although, as lead compounds, natural products usually have fewer activities compared with synthesized compounds, it will shed light on studies aiming to discover new drugs for NAFLD.

    Abstract The use of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology can improve the mechanical properties of silty clay, and glutinous rice paste can enhance microbial activity, improve the conversion rate of CaCO3 precipitation, and help increase soil strength. An MICP solidification test of silty clay was carried out by adding different concentrations of aged glutinous rice slurry and cementing liquid, and unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning electron microscope analysis of the solidified samples were carried out. The strength growth mechanism of the glutinous rice paste was investigated, and the results revealed that glutinous rice slurry can improve the enzymatic activity of microorganisms, that is, the microorganisms can produce more urease to decompose urea, and as the amount of urease increases, the concentration of the cementing solution increases, and the calcium carbonate generated by the MICP precipitates. When the concentration of the added cooked glutinous rice slurry was 5%, the unconfined compressive strength of the soil was the largest. In addition, the scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that cooled glutinous rice slurry can be used as a bridge to generate a large amount of ineffective carbonic acid. Calcium atoms are connected together to form effective calcium carbonate, which fills in the pores of the soil as a whole, increasing the compactness of the soil and greatly improving its macroscopic mechanical strength.

    Abstract Preserving the environment and promoting sustainable development are essential objectives for a state aimed at improving the standard of living for present and future generations. The depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation are serious concerns for policymakers worldwide. However, to fulfill its role effectively, a state must have strong institutional capacity. Studies have shown that inadequate governance and weak institutional quality are associated with environmental degradation, lower economic growth, unfavorable development outcomes, and increased inequality. Economic and political reforms are necessary to overcome these issues, while the concept of institutional reforms to save the environment is novel and hardly discussed in the earlier literature, especially in the context of BRI countries. So, this study explores the impact of economic and political reforms on the environment by applying a difference-in-differences approach to the data of 45 BRI economies from 2000 to 2022. The empirical findings reveal a negative relationship between economic and political reforms on ecological footprints, emphasizing the need for institutional reform to preserve the environment in the BRI region. Institutional reforms have a significant contribution to environmental sustainability by fostering better governance, political stability, and an environment conducive to reforms-driven decision-making. These reforms can help address the environmental challenges associated with large-scale infrastructure and economic development projects like the BRI, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.

    Abstract Background: Since its initial detection in 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia has rapidly spread throughout the world in a global pandemic. However, reports of COVID-19 pneumonia among patients following kidney transplantation have been limited and no uniform treatment guidelines for these patients have yet to be established.
    Case summary: Here, we report the case of a 39-year-old patient recovering from kidney transplantation who contracted perioperative COVID-19 pneumonia that was successfully controlled with oral paxlovid and a single intravenous drip infusion of tocilizumab following the discontinuation of immunosuppressive drugs.
    Conclusion: Given the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections, clinicians should be aware of the potential for more cases of COVID-19 among patients following kidney transplantation and be familiar with appropriate treatment options and likely clinical outcomes.
