Changes of the ecological environment status in villages under the background of traditional village preservation: a case study in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture by Fu Li, Huiqiong Xia, Jie Miao, Jialin Yang

“…The findings of this study suggest that the traditional village preservation policies implemented in Enshi Prefecture have both positive and negative impacts on the ecological environment of the surrounding areas of protected villages, and these impacts become increasingly evident over time. By comparing and analyzing the ecological changes in the surrounding areas of traditional villages in Enshi Prefecture with the overall ecological changes in the respective counties and county-level cities, our study employs quantitative analytical methods to delve into the impact of traditional village conservation policies on the natural ecological environment. …”

Effects of fertilizer application on the bacterial community and weathering characteristics of typical purple parent rocks by Xuan Wang, Xuan Wang, Jixia Zhao, Chunpei Li, Chunpei Li, Limei Deng, Limei Deng, Rongyang Cui, Rongyang Cui, Tao Zhou, Tao Zhou, Zakir Hussain, Zakir Hussain, Gangcai Liu

“…Structural equation model indicated that fertilizer application affects weathering through multiple pathways by affecting the chemical properties (pH, C:N and AP), specific bacterial genera (IMCC26256, Ramlibacter, and Nitrosospira), and bacterial community composition of weathered products.DiscussionOur study links weathering characteristics with chemical properties and bacterial community changes of weathered products after fertilizer application, which plays a key role in controlling and predicting dynamic changes of rock weathering in space and time. It is helpful to further understand the law of human activities affecting the surface processes.…”

Correlation Analysis of the Entorhinal Cortex-Hippocampus Nerve Fiber Changes and Memory Dysfunction in P301L-Tau Mouse Model and Molecular Mechanism by CHEN Xiaocheng, LIANG Shengxiang, LIN Bingbing, LIU Weilin, HUANG Jia

“…Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between fractional anisotropy (FA) values in different brain regions of the entorhinal cortex-hippocampus and their corresponding learning and memory functions.Results(1) Learning and memory function test: compared with the control group, the learning and memory function of the model group significantly decreased, the escape latency significantly increased, the number of platform crossings and time ratio of target quadrant significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) Structure of nerve fibers in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus: compared with the control group, FA values of the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus in the model group decreased more significantly, MD values of the entorhinal cortex in the model group increased more significantly, while there was no significant difference in the MD values of the hippocampus in the model group (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05). (3) Correlation analysis between FA values in the entorhinal cortex-hippocampus and learning and memory function: FA values in the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus were positively correlated with the number of platform crossings (<italic>r</italic>=0.76, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05; <italic>r</italic>=0.62, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (4) Expression of t-Tau, Ser262 and GSK3β protein in the entorhinal cortex-hippocampus: compared with the control group, the expression of t-Tau, p-Tau (Ser262) and GSK3β protein of entorhinal cortex and hippocamp increased more significantly in the model group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionThe Tau protein in the entorhinal cortex-hippocampus of the P301LTau mouse model was hyperphosphorylated, which leads to destruction of the nerve fiber structures in the entorhinal cortex-hippocampus and learning and memory dysfunctions. …”
