The Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) has developed a new model having an early look at people’s health. This model is actually an one-stop service of physical examination, risk evaluation of chronic diseases and guidelines for targeted exercise, which could be all done on a series of smart health equipment placed in a center which is called by the team the “Smart Health Station” and is just within community reach.
Over 85% of accessible fresh water is hard water, which contains calcium and magnesium ions, inducing scaling of boiler. Capacitive deionization (CDI), as a novel water treatment technology, has aroused great concern due to unique and high ion selectivity compared with traditional methods (reverse osmosis, adsorption, etc.).
Recently, researchers led by Prof. LIN Wenchu from High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Prof. SHAN Ge and Associate Prof. HU Shanshan from the University of Science and Technology of China, proposed an elegant mechanism that one circRNA called circURI1 exerted an anti-metastatic effect through sequestering hnRNPM to modulate alternative splicing in GC, which is the first reported association between circRNA and alternative splicing. This work was published on PNAS.
In a study recently published in Nature Nanotechnology, a research group led by Prof. Du Haifeng and Dr. Tang Jin from High Magnetic Field Laboratory reported a scientific breakthrough after they found skyrmion bundles, a new family member of topological magnetic structures.
Tetracycline (TC) is one of the most common broad-spectrum antibiotics. However, typically less than 30% of the antibiotic dose was absorbed by human and animal, while the remainder released into the environment through urine. The coexistence of TC and water hardness ions (Ca2+ and Mg2+) in natural water is a widespread pollution phenomenon. Especially, TC and water hardness ions could easily form TC-metal complex pollution in the environment.
