Further study on particle size, stability, and complexation of silver nanoparticles under the composite effect of bovine serum protein and humic acid.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used due to their unique antibacterial properties and excellent photoelectric properties. Wastewater treatment plants form a pool of AgNPs due to the social cycle of wastewater. During biological treatment processes, the particle size and stability of AgNPs change. We studied the particle size changes and stability of silver nanoparticles in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and humic acid (HA). The experimental results indicated that silver nanoparticles can complex with the functional groups in BSA. For AgNP-BSA composites, as the BSA concentration increases, the size of the silver nanoparticles first decreases and then increases. AgNPs can combine with the amide, amino, and carboxyl groups in HA. As the concentration of HA increases, the particle size and large particle size distribution of AgNPs increase. This increasing trend is more obvious when the HA concentration is lower than 20 mg L-1. When HA and BSA exist at the same time, HA will occupy the adsorption sites of BSA on the surface of AgNPs, and the AgNP-HA complex will dominate the system. This study aims to provide key operational control strategies for the process operation of wastewater treatment plants containing AgNPs and theoretical support for promoting water environment improvement and economic development such as tourism.

Modeling the Operating Performance of a Drinking Water Biological Aerated Filter and the Formation of Organic Nitrogen.

In this study, simultaneous storage and growth mechanism, as well as the formation processes of organic nitrogen (ON), were both introduced into activated sludge model 3 (ASM3), and ASM3-ON was formed to predict the operation of biofilm treatment processes and the formation of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON). ASM3-ON was applied to a lab-scale biological aerated filter (BAF) for water supply. During the simulation, the sensitivities of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N), nitrate nitrogen (NOx--N), and DON to the stoichiometric and kinetic coefficients in the model were analyzed first by the Sobol method. Then, the model prediction results were compared with experimental values to calibrate ASM3-ON. In the validation process, ASM3-ON was applied to predict the variations of COD, NH4+-N, NO2--N, and NO3--N in BAF under different aeration ratios (0, 0.5:1, 2:1, and 10:1) and different filtration velocities (0.5, 2, and 4 m/h). The comparison with the experimental results showed that ASM3-ON could accurately predict the variation characteristics of COD, NH4+-N, NOx--N, and DON in BAF. This study provided a practical model approach to optimize the operating performance of BAF and reduce the formation of ON through nonexperimental methods.

Spectral characterization of the effect of gas-water ratio on dissolved organic nitrogen variation along a drinking water biological aerated filter.

To improve the understanding of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) variation characteristics in a biological aerated filter (BAF) used for drinking water treatment, this study investigated the effects of gas-water ratios (0, 0.5:1, 2:1, and 10:1), a controlling factor of BAF operation, on DON characteristics. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal efficiency in the BAF was consistent with DON concentration and increased as the gas-water ratio increased to a certain point, above which the increase gradually decreased. The optimal gas-water ratio in this study was considered to be 2:1 from the perspective of DOC removal and DON reduction. Use of fluorescence regional integration (FRI) and parallel factor (PARAFAC) model to analyze the effects of the gas-water ratio on the spectral characteristics of DON revealed that humic acid-like substances were not sensitive to the gas-water ratio, while protein-like substances were more sensitive. Increasing the gas-water ratio was beneficial to the reduction of biodegradable DON. Correlation analysis showed that the results obtained using FRI were consistent with those obtained using the PARAFAC model under different gas-water ratios.

Changes in expression of Tau protein and phosphorylated Tau protein in neurons after spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To explore the changes in the expression of Tau protein and phosphorylated Tau (p-Tau) protein in neurons after spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury (SCII).Methods:Ninety-six healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group ( n=48) and a SCII group ( n=48). Based on the reperfusion time of 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, the SCII group was divided into 6 subgroups ( n=8 per subgroup). Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the apoptosis of spinal cord neurons in the L 4-L 5 segments and the expression of Tau protein and p-Tau protein. Results:In the sham operation group, the neuron cells were intact, mainly concentrated in the gray matter. Tau protein was seen in a small number of neuron cells, and a small amount of filamentous p-Tau protein in the pernucleus and cytoplasm. There was no significant difference between Tau protein and p-Tau protein expression in neurons at each time point ( P>0.05). In the SCII group, scattered Tau protein was seen in the apoptotic cells while there was a strong positive expression of Tau protein in the non-apoptotic cells. The expression of Tau protein in the SCII group gradually increased after injury, reaching a peak at 48h and plateauing at 72 h, and was significantly different between any 2 time points (except for 72 h) ( P<0.05). In the SCII group, the positive expression of p-Tau protein was observed in the cytoplasm of the apoptotic cells in strips and sheets. It increased rapidly within 6 h but did not change significantly after 6 h, showing no significant difference between any 2 time points afterwards ( P>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the expression of Tau protein and p-Tau protein between the SCII group and the sham operation group at each time point ( P<0.05). Conclusion:It is hopeful to reduce the severity of spinal cord injury by regulating the expression of Tau protein and p-Tau protein within 6 to 48 hours after SCII.

Discrimination of Microbe Species by Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy / 分析化学

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy ( LIBS ) was proposed to rapidly discriminate microbe species. Ten species of microbes were prepared in lab. Filter papers were selected as substrate for enriching bacteria and enhancing the quality of LIBS. The images of plasma were collected by ICCD camera and LIBS spectra were obtained by spectrometers. The results displayed that the images and spectra were different from 10 bacteria. It was demonstrated that this method was feasible to discriminate bacteria species by analyzing image and/or spectroscopy. Furthermore, nine smooth and multiple scattering correction ( MSC) were utilized to preprocess the LIBS full-spectrum data in the wavelength range of 200-420 nm and 560-680 nm. And principal component analysis ( PCA) and PCA-RF ( Random forest) were compared to validate the accuracy of discrimination. The investigation showed that the PCA-RF model coupled with suitable methods in preprocessing data could identify bacteria. The accuracy was 99. 6% for ten species of microbes by evaluating LIBS spectra in training set, and 96. 7% in predicting set. This report indicated that it is feasible to differentiate bacteria species by analyzing LIBS spectra.
