    Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus, has become recognized as a cardiometabolic disease. In normoxic conditions, the majority of the ATP production (>95%) required for heart beating comes from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation of fatty acids (FAs) and glucose, with the remaining portion coming from a variety of sources, including fructose, lactate, ketone bodies (KB) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Increased FA intake and decreased utilization of glucose and lactic acid were observed in the diabetic hearts of animal models and diabetic patients. Moreover, the polyol pathway is activated, and fructose metabolism is enhanced. The use of ketones as energy sources in human diabetic hearts also increases significantly. Furthermore, elevated BCAA levels and impaired BCAA metabolism were observed in the hearts of diabetic mice and patients. The shift in energy substrate preference in diabetic hearts results in increased oxygen consumption and impaired oxidative phosphorylation, leading to diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the precise mechanisms by which impaired myocardial metabolic alterations result in diabetes mellitus cardiac disease are not fully understood. Therefore, this review focuses on the molecular mechanisms involved in alterations of myocardial energy metabolism. It not only adds more molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment, but also provides an experimental foundation for screening novel therapeutic agents for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

    Abstract The rapid screening of agricultural waste materials for capacitor preparation holds significant importance in comprehending the relationship between material properties and enhancing experimental efficiency. In this study, we developed two machine learning models to predict electrode material characteristics using 2997 data points extracted from 235 articles. The identification and influence of key features on prediction indices provide a theoretical foundation for subsequent practical preparation. Through regression analysis and index evaluation, corn straw emerged as the optimal material for capacitor preparation, leading us to propose a one-step activation and two-step modification approach to convert corn straw into porous biochar. By modifying biochar with Co(NO

    Abstract As wellknown persistent contaminants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (Heterocyclic PAHs)'s fates in cryogenic environments are remains uncertain. Herein, strain S01 was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, a novel bacterium tolerant to low temperature and capable of degrading PAHs and heterocyclic PAHs. Strain S01 exhibited growth at 5-40 ℃ and degradation rate of mixed PAHs and heterocyclic PAHs reached 52% under low-temperature. Through comprehensive metabolomic, genomic, and transcriptomic analyses, we reconstructed the biodegradation pathway for PAHs and heterocyclic PAHs in S01 while investigating its response to low temperature. Further experiments involving deletion and replacement of methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP) confirmed its crucial role in enabling strain S01's adaptation to dual stress of low temperature and pollutants. Additionally, our analysis revealed that MCP was upregulated under cold stress which enhanced strain S01's motility capabilities leading to increased biofilm formation. The establishment of biofilm promoted preservation of distinct cellular membrane stability, thereby enhancing energy metabolism. Consequently, this led to heightened efficiency in pollutant degradation and improved cold resistance capabilities. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the environmental fate of both PAHs and heterocyclic PAHs under low-temperature conditions while also shedding light on cold adaptation mechanism employed by strain S01.

    Abstract Introduction: Off-label drug use is a global problem for which many countries and regions have issued legal provisions or reached an expert consensus. Off-label use is sometimes a necessity, especially since antibacterial drugs have become one of the most widely used drugs in pediatric settings and the issue of causing antimicrobial resistance has increasingly become unavoidable. It also poses additional risks, such as adverse drug reactions.
    Methods: Our study analyzed the antimicrobial prescriptions of pediatric inpatients in a large Chinese hospital in the first half of 2021. This retrospective investigation included 6,829 prescriptions, including 2,294 off-label prescriptions. We performed descriptive analyses of prescription antimicrobial agents among pediatric populations and reported the percentages and frequencies.
    Results: It was found that off-label use of antibiotics was present in many children (
    Discussion: Off-label use was due to imperfect labels, improper medications, or medication errors. Only a few consensuses could apply to pediatric patients. More clinical trials are required to update the consensus, and drug labels must be continuously improved. The prescription behavior of doctors is also needed to be regulated. Rational use of drugs, especially antimicrobials, is the responsibility of all people, including the states, medical institutions, and individuals.

    Abstract Due to the high salt content and pH value, the structure of saline-sodic soil was deteriorated, resulting in decreased soil fertility and inhibited soil element cycling. This, in turn, caused significant negative impacts on crop growth, posing a major challenge to global agriculture and food security. Despite numerous studies aimed at reducing the loss of plant productivity in saline-sodic soils, the knowledge regarding shifts in soil microbial communities and carbon/nitrogen cycling during saline-sodic soil improvement remains incomplete. Consequently, we developed a composite soil amendment to explore its potential to alleviate salt stress and enhance soil quality. Our findings demonstrated that the application of this composite soil amendment effectively enhanced microbial salinity resistance, promotes soil carbon fixation and nitrogen cycling, thereby reducing HCO

    Abstract Nanoplastics (NPs) in wastewaters may present a potential threat to biological nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands (CWs). Iron ions are pivotal in microbially mediated nitrogen metabolism, however, explicit evidence demonstrating the impact of NPs on nitrogen removal regulated by iron utilization and metabolism remains unclear. Here, we investigated how NPs disturb intracellular iron homeostasis, consequently interfering with the coupling mechanism between iron utilization and nitrogen metabolism in CWs. Results indicated that microorganisms affected by NPs developed a siderophore-mediated iron acquisition mechanism to compensate for iron loss. This deficiency resulted from NPs internalization limited the activity of the electron transport system and key enzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism. Microbial network analysis further suggested that NPs exposure could potentially trigger destabilization in microbial networks and impair effective microbial communication, and ultimately inhibit nitrogen metabolism. These adverse effects, accompanied by the dominance of Fe

    Abstract Non-classical secretory proteins are widely found in bacteria and have been extensively studied due to their important physiological roles. However, the relevant non-classical secretory mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we found that oxalate decarboxylase (Bacm OxDC) from Bacillus mojavensis XH1 belongs to non-classical secretory proteins. Its N-terminus showed high hydrophilicity, which was different from the conventional signal peptide. The truncation test revealed that the deletion of the N-terminus affects the structure resulting in its inability to cross the cell membrane. Further studies verified that the exported peptide YydF played an important role in the secretion process of Bacm OxDC. Experimental results on the secretion mechanism indicated that Bacm OxDC bound to the exported peptide YydF and they are translocated to the cell membrane together, after which Bacm OxDC caused cell membrane relaxation for transmembrane secretion. Thereafter, three recombinant proteins were successfully secreted with certain enzymatic activity by fusing Bacm OxDC as a guide protein with various target proteins. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first time that non-classical secretion mechanism in bacteria has been analyzed. The novel discovery may provide a reference and broaden the horizons of the secretion pathway and expression regulation of proteins.
