Preparation of Wheat-Straw-Fiber-Based Degradable Mulch Film for Sustained Release of Carbendazim and Its Application for Soybean Root Rot Control by Shuang Liu, Zhe Jin, Pengfei Zhou, Huimin Shang, Haiyan Yang, Longhai Li, Rui Li, Ying Zhang, Haitao Chen

“…Through SEM and sustained-release kinetic analysis, it was found that the sustained-release mechanism of C-CS-WFM conformed to the Ritger–Peppas kinetic model, and its release mechanism was the physical diffusion and matrix erosion. The results of the in vitro antifungal test and pot experiment demonstrated that C-CS-WFM could effectively inhibit the growth of <i>Fusarium solani</i> and promote the growth of plants. …”

Effectively alleviate rheumatoid arthritis via maintaining redox balance, inducing macrophage repolarization and restoring homeostasis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes by metformin-... by Rui Zhang, Xingyu Lin, Rongjie Lin, Zhenbin Chen, Chenfang Miao, Yao Wang, Xiaoqin Deng, Jianlong Lin, Shishui Lin, Shaohuang Weng, Min Chen

“…In vivo therapeutic investigation suggested that MCDs reduced synovial inflammation and hyperplasia, ultimately prevented cartilage destruction, bone erosion, and synovial fibrosis in CIA rats. In addition, MCDs eliminated the cellular ROS in M1 phenotype macrophages in RA microenvironment through the enzyme-like catalytic activity as well as inhibiting NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling pathway, effectively polarizing them into the M2 phenotype to realize the anti-inflammatory effect. …”

Fluvial terrace formation in a mountainous area (2): influence of eustatism, tectonics and altitudinal distribution of watersheds based on an allostratigraphic study (Albania) by Mugnier, Jean-Louis, Guzmán, Oswaldo, Vassallo, Riccardo,  Matraku, Kristina, Jouanne, François

“…This variety is controlled by the respective amount of the three parameters: lateral erosion, aggradation and difference between incision and aggradation.Active faults offset the paleoriver profiles at throw rates locally greater than 1 mm·yr-1 and the tectonic uplift influences the long term incision: Nested strath terraces or nested filled terraces with substratum risers occur in zones of high uplift rate (greater than 0.4 mm·yr-1), superposed units and nested fill terraces with hidden substratum risers occur in the weakly uplifted zones of the intra-mountainous graben-like structures.Most of the Albanian terraces are located above straths (nearly flat erosional surfaces) linked to phases of lateral beveling. …”
