ObjectiveThe effects of two microbial fertilizers (Bacillus subtilis fertilizer and Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer) on the growth and development, the accumulation of active ingredients, and the microbial community diversity of rhizosphere soil of Atractylodes chinensis were investigated. MethodsA field experiment was carried out with two-year-old Atractylodes chinensis as the test material. Plant samples were collected during the wilt stage (September 26, 2023) to determine the general agronomic traits of Atractylodes chinensis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to evaluate the effects of microbial fertilizers on the synthesis and accumulation of four active ingredients (atractylodin, atractylon, β-eudesmol, and atractylenolide Ⅰ) in Atractylodes chinensi. PacBio Sequel sequencing technology was used to explore the differences in bacterial community structures and diversity in the rhizosphere soil of Atractylodes chinensis treated with different microbial fertilizers. ResultsThe two microbial fertilizers had significant growth-promoting effects on Atractylodes chinensis. Compared with those of the CK group, the stem diameter, stem and leaf dry and fresh weight, and rhizome dry and fresh weight of Atractylodes chinensis significantly increased by 0.47-1.07 times (P<0.05) after the application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer (16 kg/667 m2), and those significantly increased by 0.62-0.96 times (P<0.05) after the application of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer (1.5 kg/667 m2). The effect on plant height was not significant. The application of two microbial fertilizers was beneficial to the accumulation of atractylodin, atractylon, β-eudesmol, and atractylenolide Ⅰ (P<0.01), and the effect of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer on the accumulation of active ingredients of Atractylodes chinensis was better than that of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that compared with the CK group, the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer (8 kg/667 m2) could significantly increase the diversity of rhizosphere bacterial species by regulating the Simpson index and Shannon index (P<0.05), and the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer significantly reduced the bacterial diversity (P<0.05). The relative abundance of dominant bacteria was compared at the phylum and genus levels. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria (45.73%) and Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia (9.98%) significantly increased after the application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer (P<0.01), and the relative abundance of Acidobacteriota (20.53%) and Sphingomonas (3.63%) increased significantly (P<0.01) after the application of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. The relative abundance of beneficial bacteria in the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer was slightly higher than that in the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. Pearson correlation analysis showed that Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia and Sphingomonas were positively correlated with the content of atractylodin, atractylon, β-eudesmol, and atractylenolide Ⅰ (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer and Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer can increase the yield of medicinal materials and promote the synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients by regulating the rhizosphere microecological diversity of Atractylodes chinensis, and the application effect of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer is better than that of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer.

Glucosidases are an indispensable class of enzymes in the sugar metabolism of organisms. To investigate the biological functions and expression patterns of α-glucosidases (AGLUs) and β-glucosidases (BGLUs), we identified the two family members in the genome of melon (Cucumis melo). The number, location on chromosomes, gene structure, subcellular localization, conserved motifs, and phylogenetic relationship of the two family members were analyzed. Based on the cis-acting elements in the promoter region and protein interaction models, their functions were preliminarily predicted. Furthermore, the gene expression of the two family members was determined by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the melon genome contained five AGLU family members on five chromosomes, and all of the five members were located in the extracellular matrix, with the amino acid sequence lengths ranging from 899 aa to 1 060 aa. The melon genome carried 18 BGLU family members on 8 chromosomes, and all the members were located in the cell membrane or cytoplasm, with the amino acid lengths ranging from 151 aa to 576 aa. The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of about 50% of the genes was down-regulated upon cold stress. CmAGLU5 and CmBGLU7 may be key members of the two families, respectively, in response to cold stress. The expression of all members of the two families was up-regulated under abscisic acid (ABA), high salt, and drought stress. In the AGLU family, CmAGLU3 was the key gene in response to ABA and high salt stress, while CmAGLU4 was the key gene in response to drought stress. In the BGLU family, CmBGLU18 was the key gene in response to ABA, while CmBGLU6 was the key gene in response to high salt and drought stress.

Objective To investigate the effects of long-term exposure to three new types of light emitting diode (LED) sources on the behavior, learning, and memory of rats. Methods A total of 160 specific pathogen-free SD rats were divided into eight groups as followed, trichromatic fluorescent lamps color temperature control group, violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group, blue-chip white LED group, and blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group based on the light sources types, with color temperature of 4 000 K and 6 500 K groups in each group using the 4×2 factorial design. There were 20 rats in each group, with half of the rats were males and half females. Rats were exposed to artificial lighting, and the illumination was set at 750 lx. The rats in each group were exposed to different lighting environments for 12 hours per day for 24 weeks. The open-field and step-down tests were conducted in rats after 24 weeks exposure, followed by sacrifice of rats and measurement of organ coefficients. Differences in body weight, organ coefficients, and neurobehavioral indexes of rats in different groups were compared. Results The spleen coefficient of female rats decreased in blue-chip white LED of 6 500 K color temperature group, and the liver coefficient of male rats decreased in the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED of 4 000 K color temperature, blue-chip full-spectrum white LED of 4 000 K color temperature, and blue-chip full-spectrum white LED of 6 500 K color temperature groups, compared with the same-sex rats in trichromatic fluorescent lamps with same-color temperature control group (all P<0.05). The result of different types of light sources compared in the open-field test showed that the index of total distance and movement speed of female rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group were lower than those in the other three groups, and the time cost to the central area was longer than that in the blue-chip white LED group and the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group (all P<0.05). The total distance and movement speed of male rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group were longer or higher than those in the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group (all P<0.05). Based on the comparison of color temperature, the time and total distance of male rats in 6 500 K color temperature group were lower than that in the 4 000 K color temperature group (both P<0.05). In the step-down test, both male and female rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group made more errors compared with other three groups with the same gender (all P<0.05). Conclusion Based on the experimental conditions of this study, the blue-chip full-spectrum white light LED affects behavior, learning and memory of the rats, and trichromatic fluorescent lamp has the lowest effect on neurobehavior. The color temperature also affects behavior of the rats, and high color temperature has higher risk.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors on the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients treated with esomeprazole and to construct a risk prediction model to predict the occurrence of esomeprazole-associated AKI.Methods:The study was designed as a retrospective study. The subjects were selected from patients who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 and received treatment with esomeprazole. The clinical data of patients, including basic information, operations, intervention measures, medication, and laboratory test results, was collected through the hospital′s electronic medical record system. Patients were divided into AKI and non-AKI groups according to the occurrence of esomeprazole-associated AKI, and the clinical characteristics between the 2 groups were compared. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO regression) was used to analyze the influencing factors of esomeprazole-associated AKI. Patients were randomly divided into the training set and the test set at a 8∶2 ratio. Based on data in the training set, 5 machine learning algorithms were used to build esomeprazole-associated AKI prediction models, including logistic regression, random forest, gradient boosting machine (GBM), extreme gradient boosting, and light gradient boosting machine. Based on data in the test set, the performance of 5 models was validated through the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.Results:A total of 5 436 patients were enrolled in the study, including 3 231 males and 2 205 females, with an age of 61(51, 70) years. Esomeprazole-associated AKI occurred in 393 patients, with an incidence of 7.23%. The results of LASSO regression analysis identified 24 variables closely related to esomeprazole-associated, such as hepatic insufficiency, chronic renal insufficiency, hypoproteinemia. Based on data in the training set (4 349 patients), the esomeprazole-associated AKI risk prediction models were constructed and their predictive performance was good (all AUC>0.900). The predictive performance validation was conducted using the data in the test set (1 087 patients), and the results showed that the GBM model has the highest AUC (0.922) and relatively stable performance, with small differences in various indicators between the training and the test sets.Conclusions:The use of esomeprazole is significantly associated with AKI, and the risk is influenced by factors such as baseline renal function, comorbidities, and combined medications. The risk prediction model based on GBM algorithm is helpful for early assessment of the risk of esomeprazole-related AKI in clinical practice.
