[Contamination Characteristics and Risk Assessment of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds in Surface Dust of Suntuan Mining Area in Huaibei].

The Suntuan mining area of Huaibei is a typical coal resource mining base in the Huainan-Huaibei areas in North China. Previous environmental studies related to surface dust in coal mining areas mainly focused on heavy metals and water-soluble ions, with little research on polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs). In this study, gas chromatography-triple tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) was used to determine the contents of 16 parent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (16PAHs), alkyl polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (aPAHs), and some oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) in surface dust from the Suntuan mining area and surrounding environment.

A case report of aggressive course of CD30+ primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Introduction: CD30+ primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PC-ALCL) is a rare T-cell neoplasm, and has been reported to present with an indolent behavior. The PC-ALCL with aggressive behavior has not been reported in the literature.

Patient Concerns: We treated a patient with PC-ALCL that exhibited indolent behavior in the past 2 years and aggressive behavior within the last 3 months before presentation.

[Treatment of high-concentration butyl-acrylate-production wastewater by A three-phase biological fluidized bed reactor].

The butyl-acrylate-production wastewater was treated by a three-phase biological fluidized bed reactor. The influences of acrylic acid concentrations, p-toluenesulfonic acid concentrations, volumic load and hydraulic retention time on pollutants removal efficiencies were investigated. It was indicated that the reactor was suitable for the treatment of butyl-acrylate-production wastewater at a high loading rate.

[Effect of recombinant human erythropoietin on hippocampal p-Akt and caspase-9 expressions in rats with status epilepticus and the mechanism].

Objective: To observe the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO) on p-Akt and caspase-9 expressions in the hippocampus of rats with status epilepticus (SE) and explore the neuroprotective mechanism of rhuEPO.

Methods: Adult male SD rats were randomized into control, PTZ, rHuEPO, LY294002 group, and DMSO groups and treated with normal saline (NS), PTZ, PTZ+rHuEPO, PTZ+LY294002+rHuEPO, and PTZ+DMSO+rHuEPO, respectively. The behavioral and electroencephalogram (EEG) changes of the rats were recorded, and the expressions of p-Akt and caspase-9 were detected using immunohistochemistry.

[Sequential extraction experiments applied to study chemical mobility of fluorine in rocks].

Sequential extraction experiments were used to study the chemical mobility of fluorine in rocks. The results show that there are quite big differences in chemical mobility of fluorine in rocks of different types. Fluorine in carbonate rock is very active, in which the proportion of leachable fluorine is generally more than 75%.
