RESUMO

Selenium (Se) deficiency is a major global health issue. Given that the Dongting Lake region is a significant agricultural production area in China, its soil and geographical properties have a marked influence on Se accumulation in rice. Investigating these factors and their importance can provide technical guidance for the production of Se-rich rice locally and in other similar regions worldwide. Such studies can foster Se-enriched agricultural practices on a global scale, contributing to improved human health and environmental quality. Therefore, in this study, we investigated 15,403 paddy soil samples and their corresponding rice grains from the Dongting Lake area, by analyzing their Se content, spatial distribution, and bioaccumulation factor (BCF). The effects of parent materials, soil characteristics (physicochemical), and geographical factors on Se content in soil, rice grains, and BCF were also assessed. We found that the average Se content in the paddy soil of the Dongting Lake area was 0.43 mg/kg, which was 1.48 folds higher than the background Se content (0.29 mg/kg) in Chinese soil. The average Se content in rice grains was 0.06 mg/kg, surpassing the Chinese standard for Se-rich rice (0.04 mg/kg). Se distribution in the paddy soil and rice were the highest in the western and central regions and lowest in the eastern region. Se-enriched rice and Se-enriched rice fields are widely distributed in Dongting Lake area Seven parent materials significantly influenced soil Se and BCF. Correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between soil Se and soil organic matter (SOM), zinc, altitude, and mean annual precipitation. BCF was positively correlated with pH and mean annual temperature. The Random Forest model highlighted that SOM played a pivotal role in soil Se enrichment, being the most influential factor for both soil and rice enrichment (RR type), whereas pH exerted the most significant influence on soil enrichment without rice enrichment (RN type).

RESUMO

Cadmium-bearing ferrihydrite-kaolinite associations (Cd-associations) are commonly found in cadmium-contaminated paddy soils in tropical and subtropical regions. In the presence of anaerobic conditions caused by flooding, the creation of Fe(II) can facilitate the transformation of ferrihydrite into secondary Fe (hydr)oxides, resulting in the redistribution of Cd. However, the role of kaolinite in iron oxides transformation and changes in Cd chemical species have largely not been determined. In this study, Cd-associations were prepared for reaction with Fe(II) under anoxic conditions. The results obtained from powder XRD and EXAFS indicated that the presence of kaolinite association noticeably hastened the transformation of ferrihydrite into crystalline goethite. Specific surface area and electrochemical analyses revealed that smaller particle sizes and higher reactivity of ferrihydrite within Cd-associations collaboratively contribute to the acceleration. Chemical analyses demonstrated a significant negative correlation between ferrihydrite-Fe and aqueous-Cd, and a significant positive correlation between crystalline-Fe and residual-Cd. HRTEM analyses indicated that a portion of the Cd was incorporated into the crystal lattices of lepidocrocite and goethite, with the majority of Cd being sequestered within goethite lattice. These findings provide new insights into the roles of clay minerals in the geochemical cycling of Fe and Cd in paddy soils under anoxic conditions.

RESUMO

Selenium (Se) accumulation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) has become a major global concern. Se offers multiple health benefits in humans; however, its inadequate or excessive intake can be harmful. Therefore, determining the factors driving Se abundance and bioavailability in paddy soils is essential to ensure the safety of human Se intake. This study investigated the accumulation, bioavailability, and distribution of Se in 820 paddy soil and rice grain samples from Luxi County, China to assess how soil properties (soil organic matter [SOM], cation exchange capacity [CEC], and pH), geographical factors (parent materials, elevation, and mean annual precipitation [MAP] and temperature [MAT]), and essential micronutrients (copper [Cu], zinc [Zn], and manganese [Mn]) govern Se accumulation and bioavailability in paddy soils. Results showed that the average soil Se content was 0.36 mg kg-1, which was higher than that in China (0.29 mg kg-1). Alternatively, the average rice grain Se content was 0.032 mg kg-1, which was lower than the minimum allowable content in Se-rich rice grains (0.04 mg kg-1). Five studied parent materials all had a significant effect on soil Se content but had little effect on Se bioavailability (p < 0.05). CEC, elevation, and SOM, as well as the soil contents of Cu, Zn, and Mn were positively correlated with soil Se content, but pH, MAP, and MAT were negatively correlated. Correspondingly, Se bioavailability was negatively correlated with SOM and soil Zn content, but positively correlated with MAP and grain contents of Cu, Zn, and Mn. Furthermore, partial least squares path analysis revealed the interactive impacts of the influencing factors on Se accumulation and bioavailability in soils. On this basis, prediction models were established to predict Se accumulation and bioavailability in paddy soils, thereby providing theoretical support for developing efficient control measures to meet Se challenges in agriculture.

RESUMO

Remediation of CdAs co-contaminated soils has long been considered a difficult problem to solve, as Cd and As have distinctly different metallic characters. Amending contaminated soils with traditional single passivation materials may not always work well in the stabilization of both Cd and As. Here, we reported that analog soil organo-ferrihydrite composites made with either living or non-living organics (bacterial cells or humic acid) could achieve stabilization of both Cd and As in contaminated soils. BCR and Wenzel sequential extractions showed that organo-ferrihydrite, particularly at 1 wt% loading, shifted liable Cd and As to more stable phases. Organo-ferrihydrite amendments significantly (p < 0.05) increased soil urease, alkaline phosphatase and catalase enzyme activities. With organo-ferrihydrite amendments, the bioavailable fraction of Cd decreased to 35.3 % compared with the control (65.1 %), while the bioavailable As declined from 29.4 % to 12.4%. Soil pH, microbial community abundance and diversity were almost unaffected by organo-ferrihydrite. Ferrihydrite and organo fractions both contributed to direct Cd-binding, while the organo fraction probably maintained the Fe-bound As via lowering ferrihydrite phase transformation. Compared to pure ferrihydrite, organo-ferrihydrite composites performed better not only in reducing liable Cd and As, but also in maintaining soil quality and ecosystem functions. This study demonstrates the applications of organo-ferrihydrite composites in eco-friendly remediation of CdAs contaminated soils, and provides a new direction in selecting appropriate soil amendments.

RESUMO

It has been documented that organic contaminants can be degraded by hydroxyl radicals (•OH) produced by the activation of H2O2 by Fe(II)-bearing clay. However, the interfacial electron transfer reactions between structural Fe(II) and H2O2 for •OH generation and its effects on contaminant remediation are unclear. In this study, we first investigated the relation between •OH generation sites and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation by activating H2O2 using nontronite with different reduction extents. SMX (5.2-16.9 µmol/L) degradation first increased and then decreased with an increase in the reduction extent of nontronite from 22% to 62%, while the •OH production increased continually. Passivization treatment of edge sites and structural variation results revealed that interfacial electron transfer reactions between Fe(II) and H2O2 occur at both the edge and basal plane. The enhancement on basal plane interfacial electron transfer reactions in a high reduction extent rNAu-2 leads to the enhancement on utilization efficiencies of structural Fe(II) and H2O2 for •OH generation. However, the •OH produced at the basal planes is less efficient in oxidizing SMX than that of at edge sites. Oxidation of SMX could be sustainable in the H2O2/rNAu-2 system through chemically reduction. The results of this study show the importance role of •OH generation sites on antibiotic degradation and provide guidance and potential strategies for antibiotic degradation by Fe(II)-bearing clay minerals in H2O2-based treatments.

RESUMO

Phyllosilicate nanoparticles play an important role in regulating the biogeochemical processes of Fe(II) and As(III) in paddy soils due to their high mobility and activity. In the present work, two prepared muscovite nanoparticles with different sizes (LNPs and SNPs) were used to investigate the effect of the size of phyllosilicate nanoparticles on the coprecipitation of Fe(II) and As(III) during oxidation process. The results showed that muscovite nanoparticles could significantly promote the removal of Fe(II) and As(III) during coprecipitation process. The formation of crystalline iron oxide and oxidation of As(III) tended to be suppressed by the two muscovite nanoparticles, and the suppression increased as muscovite nanoparticle size decrease. The findings of this study provide a contribution to understanding the roles of the natural phyllosilicate nanoparticles in regulating the biogeochemical processes of Fe and As elements in polluted paddy soils.

RESUMO

The isomorphous substitution in the structure of phyllosilicate minerals plays an important role in regulating of surface chemical properties. In this work, iron muscovite nanoparticles with various Al species were successfully prepared to explore the structural Fe and Al species on the capture of Cd(II) from solutions. The synthesized nanocrystals have irregular shapes with diameters of 10-50 nm. The incorporation of Al(III) into the iron muscovite nanostructure has slight effect on the species of Fe and the crystal phase of the products. The degree of Al(III) substituting Si(IV) in the tetrahedral sheets of the minerals obviously increased with increasing of Al doping levels. For the samples with low Al doping levels (5% and 10%), the adsorption capacity of the iron muscovite nanoparticles for Cd(II) increased slightly. With increasing of Al doping ratio to 15%, the obtained iron muscovite nanoparticles exhibited a maximal uptake of 41.4 mg g-1 for Cd(II), which is about two times that of the undoped samples (22.8 mg g-1). The solution pH had a slight effect on the Cd (II) capture at a wide pH range from 4 to 8. The adsorption of Cd(II) is very fast and reached a steady state within 5 min. Desorption results showed that the binding strength between Cd(II) and iron muscovite nanoparticles was obviously enhanced by incorporation of Al at a high level. The ion exchange and surface complexation are principal mechanisms in the Cd(II) capture by the iron muscovite nanomaterials with various structural Al species.

RESUMO

The study of organic matter in ancient paddy soils is helpful for understanding the influence of human activities on soil carbon sequestration and global climate change. However, little information on the spatial distribution and structural characteristics of the humic substances (HS) in ancient paddy soils is available. The spatial distributions of humic acids (HAs) and fulvic acids (FAs) in ancient paddy soils and modern cultivated paddy soils at the Shanlonggang site on the Liyang Plain were investigated, and the associated structures were characterized by using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The 13C NMR spectra revealed the following carbon types in HAs and FAs in both types of paddy soil in order of decreasing abundance: O-alkyl carbon (ranging from 39.7 to 51.8% and from 42.6 to 50.9%, respectively) ≥ alkyl carbon (ranging from 16.8 to 23.5% and from 15.7 to 22.4%, respectively) ≈ carboxyl carbon (ranging from 13.3 to 19.3% and from 16.9 to 22.0%, respectively) > aromatic carbon (ranging from 12.8 to 23.5% and from 10.0 to 17.2%, respectively). Moreover, the degree of aromaticity of HA was higher than that of FA in both soil samples. The humic constituents of the buried ancient paddy soils were less aromatic and oxidized than those of the modern cultivated paddy soils. The organic carbon in the ancient paddy soils was also less aromatic and oxidized than that in the modern cultivated paddy soils, suggesting that the structures of the HS in the ancient paddy soils were relatively simple. The results of this study provide new insights into the effect of secondary paddy soil formation on the spatial distribution, structural characteristics, and stability mechanisms of the HS in ancient paddy soils.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of crush syndrome of chest and arm. Methods: Between January 2010 and January 2015, 5 cases of crush syndrome of chest and arm caused by pressing oneself in a coma after CO poisoning or alcoholic intoxication were treated. There were 4 males and 1 female with an average age of 36.7 years (range, 28-46 years). Two patients involved left upper limb and chest, while the other three patients involved right upper limb and chest. The crushed time ranged from 4 to 12 hours (mean, 7 hours). All 5 cases received emergency decompression and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD). After surgery, the patients were transferred to Intensive Care Unit to receive continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The wounds were repaired with skin grafts after the patients' condition were stable. Results: The hospitalization time was 26-48 days (mean, 33 days). Necrosis of the skin graft occurred in 1 case, which cured after debridement and skin graft again. The skin graft survived in the other cases and the wounds healed by first intension. Five patients were followed up 12-18 months (mean, 15 months). At last follow-up, the results were excellent in all 5 cases according to the assessment criteria proposed by GU Yudong. The patients got full recovery of their upper limb activities and sensation. All the patients returned to the normal life and work. Conclusion: CO poisoning, drunkenness, and pressing oneself together will lead the crush syndrome to severe and rapid progress. The key of the treatment is a comprehensive therapy including a thorough and rapid tension reduction to save the limb function, CRRT, and correction of anemia and electrolyte imbalance.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of V-Y advanced medial gastrocnemius muscle flap to repair soft tissue defects in the middle and lower segments of the anterior tibia. METHODS: Between March 2008 and March 2014, 8 patients with skin and soft tissue defects of the anterior tibia were treated, including 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 36.2 years (range, 28-47 years). The soft tissue defects located at the left leg in 5 cases and at the right leg in 3 cases. The causes included traffic accident injury in 6 cases, and heavy pound injury in 2 cases. Three cases had simple soft tissue defects, and the disease course was 5 hours, 6 days, and 14 days, respectively. Five cases had soft tissue defects and fractures, including 1 case of Pilon fracture, and 4 cases of middle and distal tibial fracture; open reduction and internal fixation were performed in 3 cases, the implementation of external fixation in 2 cases; 1 case had chronic osteomyelitis at 11 months after operation, and 4 cases had skin necrosis and wound infection at 1 to 2 weeks after operation; the duration was 1-12 months (mean, 3.4 months). The skin and soft tissue defect area was 5.2 cm×2.5 cm to 13.0 cm×5.5 cm. Debridement was given, and vacuum sealing drainage was used in 6 cases, and then V-Y advancement of medial gastrocnemius muscle flap was used to cover the wound. Because of light wound contamination, the wound was repaired by the flap after emergency debridement in 1 case; 1 patient with osteomyelitis underwent flap repair at immediate after sensitive antibiotics use and debridement. The size of medial gastrocnemius muscle flaps ranged from 15 cm×6 cm to 26 cm×15 cm. The donor site was sutured in 3 cases or repaired with skin graft in 5 cases. RESULTS: One case had tension blisters in the distal flap, which was cured after symptomatic treatment. The flap and skin graft survived, and primary healing was obtained in the other cases. Seven patients were followed up 6-18 months (mean, 9 months). The texture and appearance of the flaps were satisfactory. At 6 months after operation, two-point discrimination ranged from 12 to 18 mm (mean, 16 mm). The plantar flexion was weaker than that of normal side, but the patients could normally walk and had normal gait. CONCLUSIONS: The V-Y advancement of medial gastrocnemius muscle flap is recommendable to repair soft tissue defects in the middle and lower segments of the anterior tibia for the advantages of reliable blood supply, simple operation, high survival rate of the flap, and satisfactory appearance.

RESUMO

Three dimensional (3D) flower-like alpha-FeOOH nanomaterials were prepared by oil bath reflux method using FeSO4, urea, ethanol and water, and the products which were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and SEM techniques. The SEM images showed that the 3D flower-like samples consisted of nanorods with a length of 400-500 nm and a diameter of 40-60 nm. The catalytic performance of the samples was evaluated by catalytic degradation of diclofenac sodium using H2O2 as the oxidant under simulated visible light. The results showed that the as-prepared samples presented high efficient catalytic performances, and more than 99% of the initial diclofenac sodium (30 mg x L(-1)) was degraded in 90 min. A radical mechanism can be proposed for the catalytic degradation of diclofenac sodium solution.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Organic dye pollution in water has become a major source of environmental pollution. Mn(III/IV) oxides have attracted a great deal of attention to remove organic dye pollutants due to their unique structures and physicochemical properties. Numerous studies have reported the removal of dye by various Mn(III/IV) oxides through catalytic degradation and adsorption. The crystalline structures of manganese oxides and solution pH may exert substantial impact on the removal of dyes. However, few studies have focused on the oxidative degradation of RhB dye using Mn(III/IV) oxides with different crystal structures during a spontaneous reaction. In the present study, three manganese oxides with different crystal type (α-MnO2, ß-MnO2, and δ-MnO2) were prepared by refluxing process to decolorize RhB dye in various pH solutions. RESULTS: The results showed that the decolorization efficiencies of RhB for the three manganese oxides all increase with decrease solution pH. α-MnO2 exhibited highest activity and could efficiently degrade RhB at pH 2-6. The degradation of RhB by ß-MnO2 and δ-MnO2 could be observed at pH 2-3, and only little adsorption RhB on manganese oxides could be found at pH 4-6. The UPLC/MS analysis suggests that the decolorization of RhB by manganese oxides consists of three main stages: (1) cleavage of the ethyl groups from RhB molecular to form Rh; (2) further destruction of -COOH and -CNH2 from Rh to form the small molecular substances; (3) mineralization of the small molecular substances into CO2, H2O, NO3 (-) and NH4 (+). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, these results indicate that α-MnO2 may be envisaged as efficient oxidants for the treatment of organic dye-containing wastewater under acid conditions.

RESUMO

Nanocomposites with core-shell structure usually exhibit excellent catalytic properties due to unique interfaces and synergistic effect among composites. In this study, Au-Pd bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) with core-shell structure (Au-Pd cs) by using Au NPs as core and Pd as shell were successfully fabricated and, for the first time, were used to investigate the dechlorination of diclofenac (DCF) at H2 atmosphere in water at room temperature. The degradation products were studied as well by using HPLC/Q-ToF MS/MS. The operational factors such as pH and composition of the Au-Pd cs were also studied. The results showed that nearly 100% of DCF (30 mg L(-1), 50 mL, pH=7) was dechlorinated in 4.5 h by 10 mL of 56 mg L(-1) of Au-Pd cs. Ninety per cent of DCF was degraded in 6.5 h by the mixture of Au and Pd NPs. However, the individual Au NPs had no obvious effect in degrading DCF and the monometallic Pd NPs with comparable concentration only degraded less than 20% of DCF. Furthermore, the reaction mechanism of this catalytic process was studied in detail. It was found that the degradation was a second-order exponential reaction. The two main degradation products were obtained by cleaving the carbon-halogen bond of DCF and this made the degradation products more environmentally friendly.

RESUMO

Composite photocatalysts composed of nitrogen-doped anatase TiO2 plates with exposed {001} facets (NTS) and graphene nanosheets (G) were firstly synthesized by a facile one-pot hydrothermal process. The morphologies, structural properties, and photocatalytic activities of the resultant NTS/G composites were investigated in detail. Graphene nanosheets were demonstrated play three important roles in the NTS/G composites, as transporter of photo-excited electrons, extender of light absorption range and enhancer of adsorptive capacity, respectively. Due to the effective charge anti-recombination, the efficient utilization of the visible light and the high adsorptive capacity to target pollutants, the composites exhibited significant improvement in photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation. Based on the results, the mechanism of enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity on NTS/G composites was proposed.

RESUMO

Magnetic porous Fe-Mn binary oxide nanowires were successfully fabricated to efficient removal of As(III) from water. The adsorption capacity of the porous nanowires for As(III) obviously increased with increasing of manganese oxide in the composite, accompanying decrease of the saturation magnetization of the adsorbents. Magnetic porous Fe-Mn binary oxide nanowires with an initial Fe:Mn molar ratio of 1:3 exhibited the highest absorption capacity for As(III) and enable magnetic separation from water. The maximal adsorption capacity value is 171mgg(-1) at pH 7.0. In the initial pH range from 3 to 9, 200µgL(-1) of As(III) could be easily decreased to below 10µgL(-1) by the magnetic porous Fe-Mn binary oxide nanowires (0.05gL(-1)) within 75min, and the corresponding residual As was completely oxidized to less toxic As(V). The coexisting chloride, nitrate and sulfate had no significant effect on arsenic removal, whereas, phosphate and humic acid reduced the removal of As(III) by competing with arsenic species for adsorption sites. The resulting magnetic porous Fe-Mn binary oxide nanowires could be a promising adsorbent for As(III) removal from water.

RESUMO

One-step hydrothermal method was developed to prepare hybrid γ-Fe2O3/carbon hollow spheres with a predominant orientation (111) plane of γ-Fe2O3 and rich oxygen-containing functional groups on carbon. The resulting functional hybrid exhibited extremely high adsorption capacities for toxic Pb(II) and Cr(VI) ions in solutions with easy magnetic separation. The ease of synthesis and low cost, coupled with the efficient and rapid removal of toxic heavy metal ions, make hybrid γ-Fe2O3/carbon hollow spheres an attractive adsorbent for the purification of waste and contaminated water.

RESUMO

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of humic acid (HA) and salinity on adsorption of Hg on the amorphous and crystalline of iron and manganese hydroxides. The results show that the adsorption of Hg(2+) on Fe and Mn hydroxides was inhibited in marine system due to the formation of stable, nonsorbing aqueous HgCl(2) complexes in solution. Moreover, Cl(-) inhibited the Hg(2+) adsorption more severely on amorphous than crystalline hydroxides. The addition of HA inhibited Hg(2+) adsorption on Fe and Mn hydroxides in freshwater system might be attributed to the competition between Hg(2+) and HA on adsorption to Fe and Mn hydroxides. In contrast, the addition of HA promoted Hg(2+) adsorption on Fe and Mn hydroxides in the marine system, which might be due to the addition of humic acid resulted in the reaction between Cl(-) and HA, and therefore the reducing of Cl(-) promoted more Hg(2+) on Fe and Mn hydroxides. In addition, the influence of HA on Hg(2+) adsorption on Fe and Mn hydroxides are more visible for crystalline than amorphous hydroxides.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of cross finger flap pedicled with the dorsal branch of proper digital artery in repairing degloving injury of the fingertip. METHODS: Between January 2010 and June 2012, 13 cases of degloving injury of single fingertip were treated, including 9 males and 4 females with an average age of 33.6 years (range, 17-46 years). The defect locations were index finger in 5 cases, middle finger in 3 cases, ring finger in 3 cases, and little finger in 2 cases, including 4 cases of mechanical injury, 6 cases of twist injury, and 3 cases of crushing injury. The extent of skin avulsion was beyond the distal interphalangeal joint. The length of the avulsion was 1.0-2.1 cm (mean, 1.8 cm). Complicated injuries included phalangeal fracture in 2 cases. The time from injury to operation was 90-330 minutes (mean, 150 minutes). The wound was repaired with the cross finger flap pedicled with the dorsal branch of proper digital artery. The size of flaps ranged from 3.2 cm x 2.3 cm to 4.2 cm x 3.1 cm. After 3-4 weeks, the pedicle was cut. The donors were closed by skin graft. RESULTS: Tension blisters of the flap and partial necrosis of skin graft occurred in 3 cases and in 1 case respectively, which were cured after symptomatic treatment; the flap and skin graft survived, and primary healing was obtained in the other cases. Thirteen patients were followed up 6-10 months (mean, 7 months). The texture and appearance of all the flaps were satisfactory. At 6 months after operation, two-point discrimination ranged from 7 to 10 mm (mean, 8.1 mm). The total active movement of the fingers were excellent in 10 cases and good in 3 cases, and the excellent and good rate was 100%. CONCLUSION: The treatment of degloving injury of fingertip with the cross finger flap pedicled with the dorsal branch of proper digital artery is recommendable for the advantages of reliable blood supply, simple operation, high survival rate of the flap, good function recovery of the finger, and satisfactory appearance.

RESUMO

In order to more easily separate TiO(2) photocatalyst from the treated wastewater, TiO(2) film was immobilized on the surface of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) by employing two kinds of coating procedures, dip-coating, and hydrothermal treatment. The effects of coating procedures on microstructure of TiO(2)-coated ACFs (TiO(2)/ACFs), such as morphology, porous property, crystal structure, and light absorption characteristics were investigated in detail. The adhesion property between TiO(2) film and ACFs was evaluated by ultrasonic vibration, and the photocatalytic activity of TiO(2)/ACFs was tested by the photocatalytic decoloration of methylene blue solution. The results show that hydrothermal treatment presented many advantages to obtain high-performance TiO(2)/ACFs photocatalyst in comparison with dip-coating. Hydrothermal treatment could improve the binding property between TiO(2) films and ACFs, which endowed the as-obtained TiO(2)/ACFs photocatalyst with improved reusable performance, and TiO(2)/ACFs synthesized by hydrothermal treatment presented higher photocatalytic activity.
