    Abstract During the treatment of spent cathode carbon from electrolytic aluminum, a large amount of fluoride containing wastewater is generated. By adding different sodium source and aluminum source reagents, under the conditions of different addition order, pH, temperature and time, the effects of conventional static reaction, stirring reaction and ultrasonic assisted reaction on the crystallization properties of recovered cryolite were investigated. The results showed that under the optimum reaction conditions (sodium source: NaCl, aluminum source: AlCl

    Abstract The effects of endocrine disruptors including phenols and phthalates on adult lung function remain unclear. In the present study, data from 2007-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were extracted, and 4338 participants were included in the final analyses. The associations of three phenols and four phthalate metabolites with six lung function parameters were investigated. In generalized linear regression models (GLM) and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses, bisphenol A (BPA) was associated with decreased forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC), and 2,5-dichlorophenol (DCP) was associated with reduced FEV1, FVC and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and increased prevalence of restrictive lung function (RLF) in adults. Furthermore, weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) models demonstrated that mixed exposures to phenols and phthalates were linked to reduced FEV1, FVC and PEF and increased prevalence of RLF, and these associations were mainly driven by BPA and 2,5-DCP. In conclusion, mixed exposure to phenols and phthalates was linked to compromised and a restrictive pattern of lung function. The mechanisms of the effects of phenol and phthalate exposures on lung function and respiratory diseases need to be further investigated.

    Abstract Background: The association between surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR) and renal function is not sufficiently well-known. We tried to evaluate renal function before and after the procedure of surgical mitral valve repair (SMVR) in degenerative severe MR.
    Methods: Patients with primary severe (4+) MR and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) that underwent SMVR, examined by a cutting-edge 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiographic probe were enrolled in this study. We took three CKD-EPI equations to measure estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before SMVR and shortly before patients discharge. A total of 40 patients with baseline lower mean eGFR were evaluated.
    Results: Measurements substantiated statistically significant improvements in eGFR (p < 0.001), multivariable linear regression modeling indicating prominent associations between increase in eGFR and decrease of MR (p = 0.003), decline of pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (p = 0.018), as well as increment of forward stroke volume (p = 0.02), in spite of LVEF reduction, left ventricular global longitudinal strain worsening and left atrial ejection fraction impairment.
    Conclusions: Renal function improves after SMVR in patients with degenerative significant MR and preserved LVEF, regardless of cardiac functional worsening.

    Abstract Background: Cytochrome P450 (P450) is the largest family of enzymatic proteins in the human liver, and its features have been studied in physiology, medicine, biotechnology, and phytoremediation.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the catalytic activities of 28 human CYP3A4 alleles by using dronedarone as a probe drug in vitro, including 7 novel alleles recently found in the Han Chinese population.
    Methods: We expressed 28 CYP3A4 alleles in insect microsomes and incubated them with 1-100 μM of dronedarone at 37 °C for 40 minutes to obtain the metabolites of N-debutyl-dronedarone.
    Results: Compared with the wild type of CYP3A4, the 27 defective alleles can be classified into four categories. Three alleles had no detectable enzyme activity leading to a lack of kinetic parameters of N-debutyl-dronedarone; the other three alleles slightly despaired when it comes to intrinsic clearance values compared with the features of the wild type. Sixteen alleles exhibited 35.91%~79.70% relative values (in comparison to the wild-type) and could be defined as the "moderate decrease group". The rest of the alleles showed a considerable decrease in intrinsic clearance values, ranging from 11.88%~23.34%. Therefore they were classified as a "significantly decreased group". More specifically, 18 CYP3A4 alleles exhibited a substrate inhibition trend toward dronedarone when the concentration rises to 20 μM.
    Conclusion: The outcomes of this novel study on the metabolism of dronedarone by CYP3A4 alleles can be used as experimental data support for the individualized use of this modern drug.

    Abstract In the past few decades, chemotherapy has been one of the most effective cancer treatment options. Drug resistance is currently one of the greatest obstacles to effective cancer treatment. Even though drug resistance mechanisms have been extensively investigated, they have not been fully elucidated. Recent genome-wide investigations have revealed the existence of a substantial quantity of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed from the human genome, which actively participate in numerous biological processes, such as transcription, splicing, epigenetics, the cell cycle, cell differentiation, development, pluripotency, immune microenvironment. The abnormal expression of lncRNA is considered a contributing factor to the drug resistance. Furthermore, drug resistance may be influenced by genetic and epigenetic variations, as well as individual differences in patient treatment response, attributable to polymorphisms in metabolic enzyme genes. This review focuses on the mechanism of lncRNAs resistance to target drugs in the study of tumors with high mortality, aiming to establish a theoretical foundation for targeted therapy.

    Abstract The geochemical characteristics and potential controlling factors of colloidal Zn, Cd, and Pb in Huanghe (Yellow) River estuary (HRE), China were investigated. The three metals were highly variable over a range of spatiotemporal scales, comprehensively forced by various physical and biological processes. Total dissolved Zn, Cd, and Pb varied from 200.1 to 321.7, 2.6 to 4.1, and 0.5 to 1.0 nmol/L, respectively. Only one near-estuarine station of Zn had contamination factor values >1, which indicate the lower contaminant levels. Five dissolved species of Zn, Cd and Pb were fractionated, namely <1 kDa, 1–3 kDa, 3–10 kDa, 10–100 kDa, and 100 kDa–0.45 µm. The <1 kDa truly dissolved phase was the main fraction of the three dissolved metals (50%–62%), while the 100-kDa–0.45-µm high molecular weight colloidal fraction was dominant in their respective colloidal phase. Territorial input and sediment acted as important sources of strong ligands and natural colloids for the HRE water system. <3-kDa Zn and Pb were susceptible to the dissolved oxygen, the behaviors of colloidal Zn and 3–10-kDa Pb were related to dissolved organic carbon (DOC). However, no significant correlation between each dissolved fraction of Cd and salinity, pH, temperature, colloidal organic carbon, and DOC was found in this study. Overall, these findings, completed by the evaluation of the dissolved species of Zn, Cd, and Pb at 10 sites over the river-sea mixing zone, provided new insights into the colloidal heterogeneity that affect metals geochemical features, migration and fate in estuaries.

    Abstract Under the assistance of ultrasound, the fluoride in the spent cathode carbon of aluminum electrolysis was recovered by the process of washing first and then leaching. The effects of time, temperature, liquid-solid ratio, ultrasonic power, alkali amount and acid concentration on the leaching rate of fluoride were investigated. The useful components in the leaching solution were recovered by evaporation crystallization and cryolite regeneration. The tests of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) showed that under the optimal experimental conditions (water washing: 50 s, 3 : 1, 420 W; alkaline leaching: alkali amount 1 g, 60 min, 70 °C, 7 : 1, 480 W; acid leaching: acid concentration 0.6 mol L
