Gravity-driven membrane (GDM) systems are increasingly recognized as sustainable and energy-efficient solutions for decentralized water treatment. However, membrane fouling, particularly by organic matter, remains a significant operational challenge, necessitating regular chemical cleaning to maintain performance. The present study was undertaken to investigate the cleaning efficiency of sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) tablets, a novel solid-state alternative to conventional liquid cleaning agents such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), acetic acid, and citric acid.

- The study explored how dissolved organic matter (DOM) transforms in constructed wetlands (CWs) and its interaction with soil organic matter (SOM) during various treatment stages.
- Through methods like water quality assessments and molecular analyses, findings showed that anaerobic decomposition in the Typha pond significantly increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels, indicating the role of microbial activity.
- The research highlighted that DOM in CWs interacts with organic fractions from both water and soil, influencing water quality improvement and offering insights for better CW design and management for wastewater treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the significance of autophagosome-lysosome fusion in preventing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), highlighting that a lack of CHIP in liver cells accelerates the disease when subjected to high-fat diets.
- - H-KO mice show increased levels of proteins P62 and LC3, which suggests that the fusion process is disrupted due to CHIP deficiency.
- - The research reveals that CHIP promotes the formation of a complex involving STX17, SNAP29, and VAMP8 through a unique ubiquitination process, crucial for maintaining autophagy and preventing fatty liver development.
Gastric cancer (GC) is recognized as the fifth most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide. It is characterized by diverse clinical symptoms, treatment responses, and prognoses. In GC prognosis, the promotion of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) fosters cancer cell invasion and metastasis, thereby triggering the dissemination of tumor cells.
