    Abstract The mouse aortic transplantation model is a valuable tool for investigating the mechanisms of atherosclerosis regression, but few laboratories can generate it due to the operation difficulty, especially for the style of end-to-side anastomosis, which facilitates syngeneic heterotopic transplanting a plaque-rich aortic arch into the abdominal aorta. Here we provide a modified protocol for generating this allograft model, which is capable of overcoming several critical surgical challenges such as separating a longer abdominal aorta segment, reducing bleeding and thrombosis, optimizing aortotomy, and improving end-to-side anastomosis to guarantee a potent graft. By transplanting plaque-rich aortic arches into the abdominal aorta of wildtype mice, a high operation success rate (over 90%) was noted with aortic clamping time under 60 min, the graft potency was satisfactory evidenced by examinations of micro-CT, ultrasound, and lower limb blood flow measurement, while a significant atherosclerosis regression was observed in the grafts at 1 week after transplantation.

    Abstract Background: There has been growing interest in using the traditional Chinese herb Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD) as a potential treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI), owing to its long-used treatment for SCI in China. However, the efficacy and safety of BHD treatment for SCI remain widely skeptical. This meta-analysis aims to assess the safety and efficacy of BHD in managing SCI.
    Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across several databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and Sinomed, up to January 1, 2024. Randomized controlled clinical trials evaluating the safety or efficacy of BHD in SCI treatment were included. The analysis focused on 8 critical endpoints: Patient-perceived total clinical effective rate, American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) sensory score, ASIA motor score, somatosensory evoked potential, motor evoked potential, visual analog scale pain score, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, and adverse events.
    Results: Thirteen studies comprising 815 participants met the inclusion criteria. No significant heterogeneity or publication bias was observed across the trials. The findings revealed significant improvements in the patient-perceived total clinical effective rate (OR = 3.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [2.43, 5.86]; P < .001), ASIA sensory score (mean difference [MD] = 8.22; 95% CI = [5.87, 10.56]; P < .001), ASIA motor score (MD = 7.16; 95% CI = [5.15, 9.18]; P < .001), somatosensory evoked potential (MD = 0.25; 95% CI = [0.03, 0.48]; P = .02), motor evoked potential (MD = 0.30; 95% CI = [0.14, 0.46]; P = .0002), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (MD = 1.99; 95% CI = [0.39, 3.58]; P = .01) in the BHD combination group compared to the control group. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in visual analog scale pain scores (MD = -0.81; 95% CI = [-1.52, -0.11]; P = .02) with BHD combination treatment, without a significant increase in adverse effects (OR = 0.68; 95% CI = [0.33, 1.41]; P = .3).
    Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that BHD is effective and safe in treating SCI, warranting consideration as a complementary and alternative therapy. However, given the low methodological quality of the included studies, further rigorous research is warranted to validate these findings.

    Abstract Organic incorporation is widely recommended to increase Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) content, but little was done to compare the effects of using manure and straw in different soil layers. The study was set up to assess the changes of SOC and oxidizable organic carbon fractions in three soil depths (0–15, 15–30 and 30–45 cm) in a double-rice paddy field subjected to 37 years fertilization schemes [control (CK), combined inorganic fertilization (NPK), inorganic fertilizer NK with pig manure (NKM), and inorganic fertilizer NP or NPK incorporated with rice straw (NPS and NPKS)]. The 37 years’ application of NPK, NKM, NPS and NPKS increased SOC content up to 16.5%, 38.7%, 24.4% and 24.2% across the three soil depths, respectively, compared with CK. Both NPS and NPKS treatment had 77% higher SOC accumulation by sequestering more labile SOC fraction (CHL) in topsoil but not the subsoil layers compared with NPK. Long-term NKM application performed best in SOC accumulation (threefold higher compared with NPK) in all studied soil depths, and in the content of CHL in topsoil. Overall, the integration of inorganic fertilizer with organic manure is more effective than straw incorporation on improving SOC accumulation and stability in not only the topsoil but also the subsoil layers.

    Abstract In order to explore the methane reduction potential with two scenarios of water management and Chinese Milk Vetch return, we calculated the methane emissions of Hunan Province rice fields in 2019 using the SECTOR tool based on Excel and released by the International Rice Research Institute. Thus, we preliminarily established an agricultural carbon emissions monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system. The results showed that: (1) There was significant spatial variation in methane emissions in Hunan rice fields, with higher emissions in both the south and north and lower emissions in the east and west. Late rice was the main contributor to methane emissions, and the cities of Changde, Hengyang, Yueyang, and Shaoyang were high-emission areas due to differences in rice planting types and areas. Compared with flooding (1275.75 Gg), optimized water management measures (mid-drainage and AWD irrigation) reduced methane emissions by 29~45% (905.79 and 701.66 Gg, respectively). (2) Under the same nitrogen input conditions, compared with a solely straw return (375.24 Gg), combining green manure with straw return could partially reduce methane emissions from Hunan super hybrid rice (327.63 Gg). Compared with the control fertilizers (404.28 Gg), the reduction rates of winter-planted Chinese Milk Vetch, the return of rice straw, and the incorporation of both Chinese Milk Vetch and straw were 7.19%, 13.01%, and 18.96%, respectively. Based on scientific accounting tools, a preliminary MRV system for rice field carbon emissions was established. Under the national demand for reducing fertilizer use and increasing efficiency, equal nitrogen organic amendments could effectively contribute to the development of green, low-carbon, and high-quality agriculture.

    Abstract Rotation with Chinese milk vetch (MV) as winter green manure in double-rice cropping system is an efficient approach to substitute chemical fertilizer (CF). However, the optimal substitution rate of MV for CF and its long-term effects on crop productivity and soil quality remain unknown. We conducted a 13-year field experiment with different substitution rates of MV for CF (22.5 t ha⁻¹ fresh MV incorporation with 100%, 80%, 60%, and 40% of the recommended nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) supply, represented by MV+F₁₀₀, MV+F₈₀, MV+F₆₀ and MV+F₄₀, respectively) to investigate its long-term effects on yield sustainability and soil quality in double rice cropping system. Compared with the sole application of CF, the MV+F₁₀₀ and MV+F₈₀ treatments significantly increased the early rice yields by 15.6% and 11.3% and the late rice yields by 9.3% and 6.3%, respectively. Utilization of MV to substitute 0–40% of the N and K in early rice season and 0–20% of the N and K in late rice season significantly increased the soil quality index (SQI). However, further increasing the substitution rate decreased the sustainability yield index (SYI) and SQI. The soil available phosphorus had a stronger effect on the early and late rice grain yield than the other soil physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, rice grain yields significantly increased with increasing SQI, and the apparent N, P and K balances positively affects SQI. The SYIs of early and late rice crops linearly increased with increasing SQIs, while the coefficient of variance in grain yield (CVy) decreased with increasing SQI. Consequently, long-term utilization of MV to substitute 0–40% of the N and K in early rice season and 0–20% of the N and K in late rice season can simultaneously improves yield sustainability and soil quality.

    Abstract Chronic heart failure (CHF) has long been a major medical care burden on society due to its high morbidity and mortality. Although lots of evidence has demonstrated the beneficial impacts of exercise on CHF, termed exercise-induced cardioprotection (EIC), the underlying mechanisms and applicability of EIC are elusive and controversial, and thus, clinical applications are difficult. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are potential therapeutic targets for CHF. Increasing number of ncRNAs were found to play a role in EIC and CHF. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the current knowledge of ncRNAs in EIC for CHF as well as their prospective and limitations in clinical application.

    Abstract Crop residues perform an essential role in the material cycling and energy exchange processes and are commonly used as an organic soil amendment and potassium (K) substitute to enhance field productivity in rice-upland rotation systems. Elucidating the effects of continuous K fertilization combined with straw return on the fate of soil K is of great significance to the scientific application of K fertilization and the sustainable development of the ecological environment. A short-(5 years) and a long-term (38 years) field experiments at the Wuxue (WX) and Wangcheng (WC) sites respectively were conducted to study the effects of continuous K fertilization combined with straw return on soil potassium (K) fertility and loss. Results showed that K fertilization and straw return improved soil K supply capacity significantly. K fertilization (NPK) and straw return (NPK + ST) at WX and WC sites significantly increased soil exchangeable K content (K

    Abstract Sustainable production of paddy rice is essential in supplying staple food worldwide. In the present study, we determined annual yield, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and carbon footprint of double cropping paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) as impacted by organic and inorganic amendments in a 38-year study from central China. A balanced synthetic fertilizer of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) combined with rice straw application (NPK_RS) consistently produced higher annual grain yield by 5%, 11% and 64%, respectively, compared with NPK, anaerobically digested manure (NKM) and NK. Average GHGs associated with both early- and late-season rice production were 47,300 kg CO₂eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ for the NPK_RS, 24,100 kg CO₂eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ for the NPK, 27,700 kg CO₂eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ for the NKM, 24,300 kg CO₂eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ for the NK, and 20,400 kg CO₂eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ for the non-fertilized control (CK). Of the total GHGs, approximately from 80% to 95% of the emissions resulted from methane fluxes, and from 3% to 7% emitted as soil nitrous oxide while only from 2% to 15% of the total emissions derived from other sources such as fertilizer, herbicide and pesticide production and field operation. As a result, carbon footprint of paddy rice varied from 2.1 to 3.9 kg CO₂eq kg⁻¹ grain. Straw addition with the NPK improved rice yield only marginally, but increased methane emissions and carbon footprint significantly, compared with the NPK. On the other hand, the NKM increased rice yield by 48% and GHGs by 10% and lowered carbon footprint by 23%, compared with the NK. Timing of straw application and manure amendments are critical for improving yield of paddy rice, reducing GHGs, and lowering carbon footprint.

    Abstract Overuse of chemical fertilizer (CF) causes damage to soil and the environment. To reveal the process of the response of crop rhizospheric and bulk soil fertility and the bacterial community to long-term CF conditions, CF application and nonfertilization (CK, control) treatments were used in a long-term (12-year) fertilization experiment. Long-term CF application significantly increased the soil organic matter, total nitrogen, and available phosphorus contents (p < 0.05), increased the available nitrogen (AN) and potassium (AK) contents to varying degrees, and decreased the soil pH in both rice rhizospheric soil and bulk soil. In addition, the bacterial Shannon and Ace indices in rice rhizospheric soil under the CF treatment were all higher than those under the control (CK) treatment, and the bulk soil bacteria showed the opposite trend. The LEfSe results showed that unidentified_Gammaproteobacteria and Geobacter (genera) were significantly enriched in the rhizospheric and bulk soil of rice under the CK treatment, respectively. Gemmatimonadetes (phylum) and Nitrospirae (phylum) + Thiobacillus (genus) were significantly enriched in the rice rhizospheric and bulk soil under the CF treatment. Only AK and AN had strong positive correlations with soil bacteria. Long-term CF application accelerated the migration of soil bacteria from the bulk soil to the rhizosphere, thus improving soil fertility and nutrient cycling.
