Moreover, the ratios of A/O-A and hydrophobic-C/hydrophilic-C in surface soils generally decreased with increasing concentrations of SOC in particle-size fractions, with these stability indexes being lowest in the largest particle-size fraction. These results indicate that the wetland vegetation-land use types that could incorporate more C into…[Read more]

To address these knowledge gaps, we examined relationships between granular measures of agricultural activity and lake total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in 928 lakes and their watersheds in the Northeastern and Midwest U.S. using a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach. We found that both lake TN and TP concentrations…[Read more]

IMC also prevented diet- driven hepatic cholesterol accumulation, and caused both up-regulation of the host hepatic bile acid synthetic enzyme CYP7A1, and altered the expression of hepatic genes critical for bile acid feedback regulation. These studies suggest that the gut microbiota-driven TMAO pathway is closely linked to both microbe and host…[Read more]

The genome is extremely compact, due to a significant reduction of gene number, intergenic regions, intron length, and repetitive elements. The small genome size is probably a result of extreme genome reduction due to their parasitic lifestyle, as well as of simplification and miniaturization of the free-living stages. Our data could provide…[Read more]

Silencing TRAF3IP2 also blocked interaction between tumor cells and MSCs injected into the contralateral gland, as evidenced by the lack of tumor formation on MSCs injected site. These results identify TRAF3IP2 as a novel therapeutic target in BC.New resonant emission of dispersive waves by oscillating solitary structures in optical fiber cavities…[Read more]

Objectives This study aimed to develop predictive anthropometric models for total and truncal body fat in Chilean children using the following anthropometric measurements weight, height, skinfold thickness, and circumference. Methods This cross-sectional study included 669 Chilean children (12.0 y ± 1.3) in Tanner stage IV from the Growth and…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Lesions posterior to the odontoid process pose a surgical challenge. Posterolateral approaches to this region are considerably risky for the spinal cord. Transoral approaches are limited in terms of exposure and can also carry morbidity. METHODS We describe a focused endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) for removing an osteochondroma…[Read more]
