Biogenic Mn oxides (BMOs), the main component of natural Mn oxides, closely relate to Cd in sediment. However, the immobilization behavior of Cd in sediments by BMOs is currently unclear. This study explores the role of BMO produced by the Mn-oxidizing fungus Cladosporium sp. XM01 in mediating the Cd immobilization and its biological response in sediment. A comparison is made with those of a chemical Mn oxide (CMO, triclinic birnessite). After 45 d of remediation, the results showed that the application of BMO reduced the extractable Cd by 32...

Oxytetracycline (OTC) is widely used in clinical medicine and animal husbandry. Residual OTC can affect the normal life activities of microorganisms, animals, and plants and affect human health. Microbial remediation has become a research hotspot in the environmental field. Manganese oxidizing bacteria (MnOB) exist in nature, and the biological manganese oxides (BMO) produced by them have the characteristics of high efficiency, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, the effect and mechanism of BMO in removing OTC are still unclear...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play pivotal roles in the host response to invading pathogens. Among these pathogens, Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is one of the main causes of substantial economic losses in sericulture, and there are relatively few studies on the specific functions of miRNAs in the B. mori-BmNPV interaction. Therefore, we conducted transcriptome sequencing to identify differentially expressed (DE) messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and miRNAs in the midgut of 2 B. mori strains (BmNPV-susceptible strain P50 and BmNPV-resistant strain A35) after BmNPV infection...

BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this paper is to compare retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) and Bruch's membrane opening-based minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) in terms of their performance in detecting early and moderate/advanced glaucoma using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis and the classification using the 5th percentile as a cut-off. METHODS: One hundred eyes from 100 patients with early glaucoma (mean deviation (MD): < -5.0 dB) and 100 eyes from 100 patients with moderate/advanced glaucoma (MD: > -5...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the magnitude and location of automated segmentation errors of the Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT). DESIGN: Cross-sectional study PARTICIPANTS: We included 162 glaucoma suspect or open-angle glaucoma eyes from 162 participants. METHODS: We used a spectral-domain optic coherence tomography (Spectralis 870 nm, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) to image the optic nerve with 24 radial optic nerve head B-scans and a 12-degree peripapillary circle scan, and exported the native 'automated segmentation only' results for BMO-MRW and RNFLT...

Drug resistance, evasion of cell death and metastasis are factors that contribute to the low cure rate and disease-free survival in osteosarcomas (OS). In this study, we demonstrated that a new class of oxime-containing organometallic complexes called Pd-BPO (O3) and Pd-BMO (O4) are more cytotoxic than cisplatin (CDDP) for SaOS-2 and U2OS cells using the MTT assay. Annexin-FITC/7-AAD staining demonstrated a greater potential for palladium-oxime complexes to induce death in SaOS-2 cells than CDDP, an event confirmed using the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK...

In this paper, the two-dimensional (2D) layered CoAl LDH (CoAl) was coupled with Bi2 MoO6 (BMO) nanoplate and used for tetracycline (TC) degradation. Based on the results of UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-vis DRS), Motty-Schottky curves, and in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a novel 2D/2D Bi2 MoO6 /CoAl LDH S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was built. The photodegradation rate constant of TC by the optimized sample BMO/CoAl30 was 3.637 × 10-2 min-1 , which was 1...

The construction of heterojunctions and surface defects is a promising strategy for enhancing photocatalytic activity. A surface sulfur vacancy (VS )-rich Zn3 In2 S6 /Bi2 MoO6 heterojunction photocatalyst (ZIS-VS /BMO) was herein developed for the selective oxidation of biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) to value-added 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) coupled with H2 production. The ZIS-VS /BMO heterojunction consisted of Bi2 MoO6 (BMO) with preferentially exposed high-index (131) facets and VS -rich two-dimensional (2D) Zn3 In2 S6 (ZIS-VS ) nanosheets with preferentially exposed high-index (102) facets...

The synergetic effect between dual oxides in binary metal oxides (BMO) makes them promising electrode materials for the detection of toxic chemicals, and biological compounds. In addition, the interaction between the cations and anions of diverse metals in BMO tends to create more oxygen vacancies which are beneficial for energy storage devices. However, specifically targeted synthesis of BMO is still arduous. In this work, we prepared a nickel oxide/tin oxide composite (NiO/SnO2 ) through a simple solvothermal technique...

Blue mussels (Mytilus sp.) are an economically important species for European aquaculture. Their importance as a food source is expected to increase in the coming net-zero society due to their low environmental footprint; however, their production is affected by anthropogenic stressors and climate change. During reproduction, lipids are key molecules for mussels as they are the main source of energy on which newly hatched embryos depend in the first days of their development. In this work, blue mussels of different origins are analysed, focusing on the differences in lipid composition between the ovary (BMO) and the testis (BMT)...
