Liposarcoma is the most prevalent malignant neoplasm originating from mesenchymal tissues, accounting for ~25% of soft tissue sarcomas in adults. It typically occurs in the trunk, limbs, retroperitoneum, and other anatomical regions, while its occurrence in the facial area is relatively rare. Here, the authors present a case involving an Asian male patient who presented to the Department of Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery at our hospital with a subcutaneous mass located on the left side of the face.

The extensive use of disinfectants, especially NaClO, has resulted in chlorine disinfectant residues entering and impairing the biological treatment system. This study combined with long-term stress and transient shock of chlorine residues to comprehensively evaluate the variations of nitrogen removal performance, microbial community and antibiotic resistance genes composition in the PD/A system. The results showed that low concentration NaClO had no obvious harm to the system, but high concentration (>1 mg/L) NaClO would destroy the nitrogen removal performance of PD/A system.

Background: Quinolones (QNs) widely exist in the environment due to their wide range of applications and poor metabolic properties, resulting in the generation and spread of resistance genes, posing a potential threat to human health. Traditional analytical methods cannot detect all broad ranges of QNs simultaneously. The development of facile, efficient and reliable method for quantification and assessment of the total QNs is a long-lasting challenge.

The volatile fatty acids (VFAs) productions, as well as particulate organics decomposition, soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) yield, and the VFAs production pathways from mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic fermentation in waste activated sludge were investigated. Batch experiments showed that the decomposition rate of volatile suspended solids (VSS), particulate carbohydrate (P-C) and particulate protein (P-P) followed the first-order kinetic model at different temperatures. However, the intermediates, accumulated in the process of protein or carbohydrate digestion had a more significant inhibitory effect on the production of VFAs during the mesophilic anaerobic acidification process.

A large alpine meadow in a seasonal permafrost zone exists in the west of Sichuan, which belongs to a part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China. Due to the extreme climates and repeated freeze-thaw cycling, resulting in a diminishment in soil shear strength, disasters occur frequently. Plant roots increase the complexity of the soil freeze-thaw strength problem.

Electron transport bifurcation in bioanode determines the performance of microbial electrochemical technologies with the presence of an alternative electron acceptor. Here, the bioanode responses including electron transfer efficiency, microbial community, and microbial structure are investigated with the metabolic shift from current production to denitrification. Electrochemical measurements including cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectra are performed to identify the change of electron transfer pathways in bioanode.

Haloacetaldehydes (HALs) represent the third-largest category of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water in terms of weight. As a subset of unregulated DBPs, only a few HALs have undergone assessment, yielding limited information regarding their genotoxicity mechanisms. Herein, we developed a simplified yeast-based toxicogenomics assay to evaluate the genotoxicity of five specific HALs.

Article Synopsis
  • Wastewater treatment plants are major contributors of estrogens to aquatic environments, prompting the need for effective monitoring of estrogenic compounds using biosensors.
  • The newly developed estrogen receptor-based biosensor can distinguish and quantify both estrogenic agonists and antagonists through specially designed conformation-specific reporters, enhancing detection capabilities.
  • In testing with wastewater samples, the biosensor demonstrated high sensitivity and a strong correlation with existing methods, confirming its accuracy and reliability for real-world applications.

Currently, designing smart membranes with multifunctional effectiveness is crucial to food freshness monitoring and retention. Herein, an active colorimetric Janus bilayer membrane with directional water transport (DWT) performance is constructed by electrospinning, which comprises a hydrophilic layer of silk fibroin-bayberry anthocyanins (SF-BAs) and a hydrophobic layer of polycaprolactone-eucalyptus oil (PCL-EO). The entities of BAs and EO are well dispersed in the fiber matrix by hydrogen bonds and physical interactions, respectively.

Complete placenta previa is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and fetuses. This study aimed to evaluate whether prophylactic uterine artery embolization (PUAE) could reduce bleeding in patients with complete placenta previa. We retrospectively analyzed patients with complete placenta previa admitted to Taixing People's Hospital for elective cesarean delivery between January 2019 and December 2020.

Colorimetric active double-layer composites of film@membrane were developed via direct electrospinning functional nanofibers on colorimetric film. In the structure, oxidized sodium alginate cross-linked carboxymethyl chitosan (CO) was used as colorimetric film matrix to incorporate the anthocyanins extract from Oxalis triangularis ssp. papilionacea (OTA); while the blend of gelatin/zein (GZ) was used as fibrous matrix for linalool (L) encapsulation.

Overcoming the limitations of traditional analytical methods and developing technologies to continuously monitor environments and produce a comprehensive picture of potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been an ongoing challenge. Herein, we developed a portable nuclear receptor (NR)-based biosensor within 90 min to perform highly sensitive analyses of a broad range of EDCs in environmental water samples. Based on the specific binding of the fluorescence-labeled NRs with their ligands, the receptors were attached to the EDC-functionalized fiber surface by competing with EDCs in the samples.

Differences between the old and young pit mud in a pit cellar enlarged differences in Zaopei (ZP) fermentation to varying degrees, ultimately affecting the aromatic quality of the Baijiu that is produced. The whole fermentation process could be divided into two phases, namely phase I (0_15 days) and phase II (25_40 days) based on the dynamics of the diversity of microbial communities. Starch and reducing sugar in phase I were used more rapidly by microflora, leading to a higher ethanol production in ZP within an old pit mud (OZP) and a higher acidity in ZP within a new pit mud (NZP), and resulting in different microbial succession patterns therein.

The apparent increase in hormone-induced cancers and disorders of the reproductive tract has led to a growing demand for new technologies capable of detecting endocrine disruptors. However, a long-lasting challenge unaddressed is how to achieve ultrahigh sensitive, continuous, and in situ measurement with a portable device for in-field and remote environmental monitoring. Here we demonstrate a simple-to-implement plasmonic optical fiber biosensing platform to achieve an improved light-matter interaction and advanced surface chemistry for ultrasensitive detection of endocrine disruptors.

As antibiotic pollution is gaining prominence as a global issue, the demand for detection of streptomycin (STR), which is a widely used antibiotic with potential human health and ecological risks, has attracted increasing attention. Aptamer-based biosensors have been developed for the detection of STR in buffers and samples, however, the non-target signals due to the conformational variation of free aptamers possibly affect their sensitivity and stability. In this study, by introducing the STR-specific split aptamer (SPA), a sensitive evanescent wave fluorescent (EWF) biosensor is developed for the sandwich-type based detection of STR.
