A Robust Adenine-Based Microporous Metal-Organic Framework with Hydrophobic Alkyl Groups and Abundant Lewis Basic Sites for CO/N Separation.

The development of a chemically robust metal-organic framework (MOF) with appropriate pore nanospace for efficient CO capture and separation from flue gas under humid conditions is sought after. Herein, an adenine-based microporous MOF, Cu-AD-SA, bearing abundant Lewis basic sites and alkyl groups has been utilized to capture and separate CO from CO/N gas mixtures. The introduction of alkyl groups enable Cu-AD-SA with high chemical stability.

A Robust Squarate-Cobalt Metal-Organic Framework for CO/N Separation.

The separation of CO from the industrial post-combustion flue gas is of great importance to reduce the increasingly serious greenhouse effect, yet highly challenging due to the extremely high stability, low cost, and high separation performance requirements for adsorbents under the practical operating conditions. Herein, we report a robust squarate-cobalt metal-organic framework (MOF), FJUT-3, featuring an ultra-small 1D square channel decorated with -OH groups, for CO/N separation. Remarkably, FJUT-3 not only has excellent stability under harsh chemical conditions but also presents low-cost property for scale-up synthesis.

First Report of Anthracnose of Sanhua Plum Caused by in Guangxi, China.

There is nearly 5,800 ha of Sanhua plum ( Linn) planted in Babu district in Hezhou, Guangxi, with over 67,000 tons of annual output. In August 2021, anthracnose symptoms were observed on Sanhua plum leaves in three different cultivated towns in Babu district in Hezhou, Guangxi (N23°49' - 24°48', E111°12' - 112°03'). The plant disease incidence was over 50% with approximately 20 to 30% of leaves on a plant being symptomatic.

First Report of Leaf Blight Caused by on Plum in Sichuan, China.

Plum ( Lindl.) is widely cultivated for its rich nutrients and flavor in China. In August 2020, leaf blight symptoms were observed on plum in Meishan, Sichuan, China (N29°24', E104°30').

Comparison of application value between conventional air insufflation and water infusion in colonoscopy.

Objective: To discuss the feasibility of water infusion colonoscopy and its difference with traditional air insufflation colonoscopy in application value.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled clinical study was designed to include 200 patients who underwent sedation-free diagnostic colonoscopy. Among them, 100 patients were treated with water infusion colonoscopy (observation group) and 100 patients were treated with air insufflation colonoscopy (control group).

sp. nov., isolated from rice seeds.

A Gram-stain-positive, facultatively anaerobic, endospore-forming bacterium, designated strain TD8, was isolated from surface-sterilized rice seeds ( L.). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that strain TD8 should be placed within the genus (95.

Clinical Effect of Tunnel-Like Fistulectomy Plus Draining Seton Combined with Incision of Internal Opening of Anal Fistula (TFSIA) in the Treatment of High Trans-Sphincteric Anal Fistula.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of tunnel-like fistulectomy plus draining seton combined with incision of internal opening of anal fistula (TFSIA) in the treatment of high transsphincteric anal fistula. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 80 patients with high transsphincteric anal fistula randomly divided into TFSIA group and control group, 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with cutting seton, and the seton was tightened weekly after discharge from the hospital until the seton dropped off.

Paenibacillus oryzisoli sp. nov., isolated from the rhizosphere of rice.

A novel bacterium, strain 1ZS3-15, was isolated from rhizosphere of rice. Its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The novel strain was observed to be Gram-stain positive, spore-forming, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped.

Salinity shapes microbial diversity and community structure in surface sediments of the Qinghai-Tibetan Lakes.

Investigating microbial response to environmental variables is of great importance for understanding of microbial acclimatization and evolution in natural environments. However, little is known about how microbial communities responded to environmental factors (e.g.

Evaluation of a recombinant MIC3 based latex agglutination test for the rapid serodiagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection in swines.

The entire gene encoding microneme protein 3 (MIC3) from Toxoplasma gondii was cloned into the plasmid pGEX-KG and subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli as a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. The recombinant MIC3 (rMIC3) was purified and evaluated in a latex agglutination test (LAT) as the diagnostic antigen for the detection of antibodies to T. gondii in pig sera.
