Recently, a team led by Professor Weifeng Zhang and Peng Ning from the College of Resources and Environmental Sciences at China Agricultural University proposed a sustainable production pathway to achieve an annual yield of 22.5 t·ha^–1 in the winter wheat-summer maize rotation system on the North China Plain, providing a scientific reference for solving this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025618).

The use of hydrocarbon fuels in solid oxide fuel cell is hindered by anode incomplete reforming and carbon deposition. This study employs Ni_0.1Fe_0.1Ce_0.8O_2-δ (NFCO) as the anode reforming catalyst for tubular solid oxide fuel cell (T-SOFC) under low-concentration ethanol-CO₂ fuel. With the in-situ formed NiFe alloy, the T-SOFC with NFCO achieves peak power densities of 538, 614, and 608 mW·cm^-2 at 5 %, 10 %, and 15 % ethanol at 700℃, respectively, higher than the cell without NFCO. More importantly, no significant degradation is observed during long-term operation. DFT calculations confirm NiFe-CeO₂ heterostructure enhances H₂O adsorption, promotes fuel conversion, improves reforming efficiency and inhibits carbon deposition, aiding high-performance T-SOFC development.

A new systematic review and meta-analysis published in eGastroenterology reveals that eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) may increase the risk of reflux oesophagitis (RE) occurrence or recurrence. By analyzing data from 30 prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials, the study found a significantly higher RE risk in patients receiving H. pylori eradication therapy, especially with longer follow-up periods. Although geographic region, age, and baseline disease modified the effect, the trend was generally consistent. Clinicians are advised to consider individual patient profiles before initiating eradication therapy. These findings challenge existing assumptions about the uniformly beneficial role of H. pylori eradication.

Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs), marked by high blood pressure, may influence fetal and placental growth differently by sex. To investigate this, researchers in the United States analyzed birth data and found that male babies of mothers with HDPs had higher birthweight, while female babies had relatively heavier placentas. These findings highlight sex-specific responses to HDPs and may help guide more personalized strategies for monitoring and managing pregnancy and fetal health outcomes.
