Dynamics of a Stochastic Functional System for Wastewater Treatment by Xuehui Ji, Sanling Yuan

“…We assume that there are stochastic fluctuations in the concentrations of the nutrient and microbes around a steady state, and introduce two distributed delays to the model describing, respectively, the times involved in nutrient recycling and the bacterial reproduction response to nutrient uptake. By constructing Lyapunov functionals, sufficient conditions for the stochastic stability of its positive equilibrium are obtained. …”

Effect of salidroside on the immune function of BCG-infected macrophages by NI Shuyi, JIANG Zhao, WANG Zhongtao, HE Shumei

“…Compared with the BCG group, in the early stage of the infection, SAL and INH were able to significantly reduce the apoptotic levels of BCG-infected RAW264.7 cells (P=0.008, P=0.032), and the combined application of SAL and INH significantly enhanced the apoptosis levels of BCG-infected RAW264.7 cells in the late stage of infection (P=0.001).Conclusion·In BCG-infected macrophages, SAL can exhibit antimycobacterial effects on the host by enhancing macrophage immune function, suppressing intracellular bacterial survival, and concurrently mitigating the inflammatory response elicited by BCG infection.…”
