Degradation and adsorption of tralkoxydim in Chinese soils and water-sediment environments.

Tralkoxydim is a cyclohexanedione herbicide primarily used for gramineous weed control in China. In this paper, we present results of a tralkoxydim laboratory environmental fate study characterizing its degradation, adsorption, and mobility behavior in three different soils and two water-sediment systems (river and lake) in China. Degradation half-life of tralkoxydim in soil under aerobic conditions was 5.

Influence of overexpression of SOCS2 on cells of DN rat.

Objective: To explore the influence and mechanism of overexpression of SOCS2 on diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats and cells.

Methods: STZ was used to induce male SD rats and SOCS2 was injected into left renal vein. Rats were divided into DN group, DN-Ad-null group and DN-Ad-SOCS2 group.

Comparison of two fluid solutions for resuscitation in a rabbit model of crush syndrome.

Background: Crush syndrome is a common injury, the main characteristics of which include acute kidney injury. However, there is still lack of reliable animal model of crush syndrome, and it also remains controversial as to which type of fluid should be chosen as a more appropriate treatment option for prevention and treatment of acute kidney injury.

Methods: The rabbits were crushed at the lower limbs for 6 h with 36 times the body weight, which means the pressure of each leg was also 36 times the body weight.

[Removal of estrogens in laccase catalyzed oxidative processes].

The removal of 5 estrogens (bisphenol A, estradiol, ethinylestradiol, estrone and octylphenol) in laccase catalyzed oxidative processes was studied. The effects of pH and NOM on the removal of EDCs were discussed in detail, as well as the kinetics of EE2 removal and the reaction products. The results indicated that laccase was capable of removing estrogens efficiently.

[Chlorination of ethynyl estradiol: a kinetic and mechanistic study].

The objective of this research is to explore the fundamentals of reactions between chlorine and ethynyl estradiol (EE2), which is expected to occur during the drinking water treatment. The first step of EE2 chlorination was shown to follow the second-order kinetics with the first order to concentrations of both target compound and chlorine, respectively. Apparent rate constants of EE2 chlorination exhibit the pH-dependent profile which indicates that the phenolic ring is the preferred site of attack by Cl.

[Effects of multiple environmental factors on triflulsulfuron-methyl degradation in soils].

Triflulsulfuron-methyl, a widely used sulfonylurea herbicide, has done harm to the soil and crop. Its environment fate was affected by many factors such as physicochemical or biological factors. In order to understand the effects of different environmental factors on the degradation of triflulsulfuron-methyl in soil, simulated indoor incubation experiments were carried out to explore the effects of soil microbe, soil type, dissolved organic matter (DOM), temperature, and soil moisture on triflulsulfuron-methyl degradation in soils.
