Pyrite is an important indicator of methane seepage. The effects of organic sulfate reduction (OSR) and sulfate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane (SD-AOM) on the trace metals in pyrite have aroused interest; however, further studies about how these two pathways control the trace element patterns are still required. Therefore, we studied the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of sediment samples from the northern...

Vitamin D deficiency can damage the human immune system, and the complement system is a key component of the immune system. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which vitamin D affects the immune system by analyzing the changes in the protein expression of the complement system under different vitamin D levels. We selected 40 participants and divided them into three groups according to their serum levels of 25-hydrox...
