    Abstract Anthraquinone is a redox mediator that can effectively catalyze the degradation of azo dyes by promoting the electron transfer. In this study, a mediator membrane with poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as the membrane support and 1,8-dichloroanthraquinone (1,8-AQ) and graphene oxide (GO) as the additives was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle. The introduction of GO increases the pure water flux of the membrane to 258.56

    Abstract As a metabolic disorder, obesity can cause secondary kidney damage, which is called obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG). As the incidence of obesity increases worldwide, so does the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) caused by ORGs. However, there is still a lack of effective strategies to prevent and delay the occurrence and development of ORG. Therefore, a deeper understanding and elaboration of the pathogenesis of ORG is conducive to the development of therapeutic drugs for ORG. Here, we review the characteristics of pathological lesions of ORG and describe the roles of lipid metabolism disorders and mitochondrial oxidative stress in the development of ORG. Finally, we summarize the current available drugs or compounds for the treatment of ORG and suggested that ameliorating renal lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function may be potential therapeutic targets for ORG.

    Abstract Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a serious infectious disease caused by the Dabie bandavirus, with a high mortality rate. Currently, there are no effective vaccines or specific treatments for SFTS. Early diagnosis and accurate severity assessment are crucial.
    Methods: This study included 171 cases of SFTS, COVID-19, and hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients and healthy controls. We compared the serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity across these groups. The diagnostic and prognostic efficiency of serum ADA for SFTS was evaluated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. We also examined the correlation between serum ADA in SFTS patients and clinical lab parameters as well as serum cytokines.
    Results: SFTS patients had significantly higher serum ADA activity than those of COVID-19, HBV patients, and healthy controls. Nonsurvivor SFTS patients had notably higher ADA than survivors. ROC analysis indicated ADA as an effective SFTS diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. ADA correlated with prognosis, viral load, APTT, PT, AST, ferritin, negatively with HDL-c and LDL-c, and positively with cytokines like IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Multiorgan failure patients showed significant ADA increase.
    Conclusion: Elevated serum ADA activity in SFTS patients is linked with disease severity and prognosis, showing potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for SFTS.

    Abstract Opportunistic pathogens (OPs) are emerging microbial contaminants in engineered water systems, yet their growth potential in rainwater systems has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to compare the growth dynamics of bacterial OPs and related genera (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella spp., L. pneumophila, Mycobacterium spp., and M. avium), two amoebal hosts (Acanthamoeba spp. and Vermamoeba vermiformis), and the fecal indicator Escherichia coli in simulated rainwater and tap water storage systems (SWSSs). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) analysis of target microorganisms in SWSS influents and effluents demonstrated that P. aeruginosa and Legionella thrived in rainwater, but not in tap water. V. vermiformis proliferated in both rainwater and tap water polyvinyl chloride (PVC) SWSSs, while mycobacteria were largely absent in rainwater SWSSs. Tank materials exerted stronger influence on target microorganisms in rainwater SWSSs relative to tap water SWSSs, with species-specific responses noted in bulk water and biofilm. For instance, P. aeruginosa and V. vermiformis had the highest gene copy numbers in PVC rainwater SWSS effluents and biofilm, while Legionella peaked in stainless steel rainwater SWSS effluents and PVC rainwater SWSS biofilm. These results highlighted the OP contamination risks in rainwater storage systems and provided insights into rainwater system design and operation in terms of OP control.

    Abstract It is a long-pursued goal to develop electrified water treatment technology that can remove contaminants without byproduct formation. This study unveiled the overlooked multifunctionality of electro-Fenton (EF) and induced EF (I-EF) processes to remove organics, pathogens, and phosphate in one step without halogenated byproduct formation. The EF and I-EF processes used a sacrificial anode or an induced electrode to generate Fe

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris is the most destructive pest worldwide because of its ability to feed on plants directly and transmit plant viruses as a vector. This study aims to identify triterpenoid saponins from Oxytropis hirta Bunge as biopesticides to control aphids. RESULTS: Three new azukisapogenol triterpenoid saponins (1–3), a new pinoresinol lignan glycoside (8), and four known saponins (4–7) were identified from the root of O. hirta. Compounds 4–7 displayed significant aphicidal activities against A. pisum with oral toxicities (LC₅₀ = 51.10–147.43 μg/mL, 72 h), deterrent effects (deterrence index = 1.00, 100–200 μg/mL, 24 h), and aphid reproduction inhibitory effects (inhibition rates = 75.91–86.73%, 400 μg/mL, 24 h), respectively. The carboxyl groups at C‐3 GlcA and C‐30 were functional groups for their aphicidal activities. The toxic symptoms caused by the optimal 5 involved insect body‐color changes from light green to dark or gray‐green, and then brown until death. The intestinal cavity, apical microvilli, nuclei, mitochondria, and electron dense granules in the midgut tissues of A. pisum were the target sites showing aphicidal activity. The suppression of pepsin and α‐amylase, and the activation of lipase and trypsin could be the signs of organelle damage in the midgut tissues. CONCLUSION: Azukisapogenol triterpenoid saponins from O. hirta could be used as biopesticides to control aphids for their multiple efficacies, including oral toxicity, deterrent activity, and reproduction inhibitory activity. The toxic symptoms involved insect body‐color changes. Midgut tissues and their related enzymes were the targets for saponins showing aphicidal activities. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
