    Abstract An important public concern worldwide is soil pollution caused by organophosphorus pesticides and their primary metabolites. To protect the public's health, screening these pollutants on-site and determining their soil bioavailability is important, but doing so is still challenging. This work improved the already-existing organophosphorus pesticide hydrolase (mpd) and transcriptional activator (pobR), and it first designed and constructed a novel biosensor (Escherichia coli BL21/pNP-LacZ) that can precisely detect methyl parathion (MP) and its primary metabolite p-nitrophenol with low background value. To create a paper strip biosensor, E. coli BL21/pNP-LacZ was fixed to filter paper using bio-gel alginate and sensitizer polymyxin B. According to the calibrations of the paper strip biosensor for soil extracts and standard curve, the color intensity of the paper strip biosensor collected by the mobile app may be used to compute the concentration of MP and p-nitrophenol. This method's detection limits were 5.41 µg/kg for p-nitrophenol and 9.57 µg/kg for MP. The detection of p-nitrophenol and MP in laboratory and field soil samples confirmed this procedure. Paper strip biosensor on-site allows for the semi-quantitative measurement of p-nitrophenol and MP levels in soils in a simple, inexpensive, and portable method.

    Abstract Wavelength division multiplexing is a widely used monolithic device with modulating light sources at different wavelengths based on a designed configuration. In this paper, we report an in-chip demultiplexer with a simple design operating at 532/1064 nm in pure YAG crystal. The device is fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing inside the transparent substrate with just a width of 36 µm. The compact structure is designed based on the principle of self-imaging, and the propagation features have been simulated by utilizing the beam propagation method. The performance of this wavelength demultiplexer has been investigated through an end-face coupling system, which proves the device can separate 532 nm and 1064 nm light into two discrete waveguides polarization-insensitively with an extinction ratio as high as 13 dB. These superior performances manifest this exquisite device can emerge into kinds of photonic applications in the future. Also, this work further proves that femtosecond laser direct writing technology has irreplaceable advantages in processing micro-nano devices in transparent materials for in-chip integration.

    Abstract Objective: To explore patient factors that influence patients' decisions about Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) including patient unmet needs, challenges in decision making, and the role of family and caregiver involvement in treatment decision making. Our goal is to elucidate patient factors including their beliefs, values, expectations, worries about NC and MIBC, emotional challenges, and the importance of caregivers' involvement in decision making and selection of treatment procedures. Design: A qualitative study with semi-structured single interviews and focus groups. Atlas.ti software was used to analyze the qualitative data collected. Settings: Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) and Northwell Health (NH), New York, USA. Methods and Materials: 20 MIBC survivors from the ISMMS (n = 10) and NH (n = 10) were enrolled in this study from September 2015 and August 2016. 17 of them finished a semi-structured single interview and 3 of them joined a focus group interview to share their decision-making process about their treatment plans. Three ISMMS health care providers were interviewed to understand physicians' standpoints on the challenges, barriers, and potential facilitators for MIBC patients to make a decision about their treatment plans. Results: Patients decisions on whether or not to go through NC were influenced by three major parts: physician's opinion or suggestion, family and spouses' opinion, and patients' own value and preferences. Sufficient information about treatment efficacy (i.e. treatment options, survival rates, experience sharing from former patients) would benefit patients' decision-making process. Therefore ensuring information available for patients is important Results also showed that having a second opinion, experience shared by other patients, and caregivers' help with information search helped address some of the patients' reported informational needs. Physicians' recommendations and advice were reported as influential factors in patients' treatment decision making. Physicians' challenges confirmed by interviewed patients suggested several areas await improvement including more help with daily activities from healthcare professionals, good bedside manners and professional figures, and opportunity to communicate with former patients. Conclusions: Meeting patients' informational and emotional needs is imperative to facilitate their decision-making process. Caregivers play significant roles in treatment decision making and recovery. Preparing caregivers for treatment decision making and patient care can maximize support received from the patient's social network.

    Abstract Many studies investigate the plant uptake and metabolism of xenobiotics by hydroponic experiments, however, plants grown in different conditions (hydroponic vs. soil) may result in different behaviors. To explore the potential differences, a comparative study on the uptake, translocation and metabolism of the fungicide phenamacril in crops (wheat/rice) under hydroponic and soil cultivation conditions was conducted. During 7-14 days of exposure, the translocation factors (TFs) of phenamacril were greatly overestimated in hydroponic-wheat (3.6-5.2) than those in soil-wheat systems (1.1-2.0), with up to 3.3 times of difference between the two cultivation systems, implying it should be cautious to extrapolate the results obtained from hydroponic to field conditions. M-144 was formed in soil pore water (19.1-29.9 μg/L) in soil-wheat systems but not in the hydroponic solution in hydroponics; M-232 was only formed in wheat shoots (89.7-103.0 μg/kg) under soil cultivation conditions, however, it was detected in hydroponic solution (20.1-21.2 μg/L), wheat roots (146.8-166.0 μg/kg), and shoots (239.2-348.1 μg/kg) under hydroponic conditions. The root concentration factors (RCFs) and TFs of phenamacril in rice were up to 2.4 and 3.6 times higher than that in wheat for 28 days of the hydroponic exposure, respectively. These results highlighted that cultivation conditions and plant species could influence the fate of pesticides in crops, which should be considered to better assess the potential accumulation and transformation of pesticides in crops.

    Abstract Plant guttation is an important source of water/nutrients for many beneficial insects, while the presence of pesticides in guttation has been considered as a new exposure route for nontarget insects. This study aimed to elucidate how 15 diverse pesticides are translocated from growth media to guttation by maize plants through a hydroponic experiment. All pesticides were effectively translocated from the growth solution to maize guttation and reached a steady state within 5 days. The strong positive correlation (

    Abstract Compost is widely used in agriculture as fertilizer while providing a practical option for solid municipal waste disposal. However, compost may also contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), potentially impacting soils and leading to PFAS entry into food chains and ultimately human exposure risks via dietary intake. This study examined how compost affects the bioavailability and uptake of eight PFAS (two ethers, three fluorotelomer sulfonates, and three perfluorosulfonates) by lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown in commercial organic compost-amended, PFAS spiked soils. After 50 days of greenhouse experiment, PFAS uptake by lettuce decreased (by up to 90.5 %) with the increasing compost amendment ratios (0-20 %, w/w), consistent with their decreased porewater concentrations (by 30.7-86.3 %) in compost-amended soils. Decreased bioavailability of PFAS was evidenced by the increased in-situ soil-porewater distribution coefficients (K

    Abstract Background: With the extensive application of segmental lung resection in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer, how to complete segmentectomy more accurately and minimally invasively has become a research hotspot. The aim of this study is to explore the application of three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) combined with perfusion area recognition technique in single-hole thoracoscopic complex segmentectomy.
    Methods: From January 2021 to January 2022, the clinical data of 112 consecutive patients undergoing single-port thoracoscopic complex segmentectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The three-dimensional reconstruction combined with perfusion area identification technique was used to perform the operation and the clinical data were analyzed.
    Results: The average operation time was (141.1±35.4) min; the initial time of intersegmental plane display was (12.5±1.7) s; the maintenance time of intersegmental plane was (114.3±10.9) s; the intersegmental plane was clearly displayed (100%); the amount of bleeding was [10 (10, 20)] mL; the total postoperative drainage volume was (380.5±139.7) mL; the postoperative extubation time was (3.9±1.2) d; and the postoperative hospitalization time was (5.2±1.6) d. Postoperative complications occurred in 8 cases.
    Conclusions: The advantages of 3D-CTBA combined with perfusion area recognition technique are fast, accurate and safe in identifying intersegmental boundary in single-port thoracoscopic complex segmentectomy, which could provide guidances for accuratding resection of tumors, shortening operation time and reducing surgical complications.
