Phenols coupled during oxidation upstream of water treatment would generate higher toxic coupling phenolic disinfection by-products during chlorination disinfection.

Phenolic compounds usually produce coupling phenols during the upstream oxidation treatment of water, but the disinfection by-products (DBPs) of coupling phenols in the subsequent disinfection process have been overlooked. Herein, we demonstrated the generation and higher toxicity of these DBPs. In Songhua River water, 0.

VUV Activated Fe(VI) by Promoting the Generation of Intermediate Valent Iron and Hydroxyl Radicals.

In this study, vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) was first proposed to activate ferrate (Fe(VI)) for degrading micropollutants (e.g., carbamazepine (CBZ)).

Rapid Discovery of Substances with Anticancer Potential from Marine Fungi Based on a One Strain-Many Compounds Strategy and UPLC-QTOF-MS.

The secondary metabolites of marine fungi with rich chemical diversity and biological activity are an important and exciting target for natural product research. This study aimed to investigate the fungal community in Quanzhou Bay, Fujian, and identified 28 strains of marine fungi. A total of 28 strains of marine fungi were screened for small-scale fermentation by the OSMAC (One Strain-Many Compounds) strategy, and 77 EtOAc crude extracts were obtained and assayed for cancer cell inhibition rate.

Synthesis and crystal structure of a two-dimensional Co coordination polymer: poly[(μ-3-carb-oxy-benzoato)[μ-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,2'-3,3'-bi[1,2,4-triazole]]cobalt(II)].

In the title compound, [Co(CHO)(CHN)] , the divalent Co atom is six-coordinated to three N atoms from two symmetrical 5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,2'-3,3'-bi[1,2,4-triazole] (Hpyttz) ligands and three O atoms from three symmetrical 3-carb-oxy-benzoate (Hbdic) ligands, leading to a distorted {CoNO} octa-hedral coordination environment. Two Co cations are linked by four bridging carboxyl-ate groups to generate a dinuclear [Co(CO)] unit. The dinuclear units are further connected into a chain along [010] the Hbdic ligands.

[Taxonomic diversity of the plant communities in Pangquangou Nature Reserve, Shanxi Province, China].

In order to explore the relationship between the taxonomic diversity of plant communities' and environmental factors in Pangquangou Nature Reserve, Shanxi Province, 33 stands of the plant communities and environmental information were investigated, respectively. Moreover, the taxonomic variability index (delta+) and the average taxonomic differences index (delta+) of the communities were analyzed as well as the relationships between delta+ and delta+ with environmental factors were discussed. The results showed that the average values of delta+ and delta+ were 270 and 76.

Oxidative stress and hepatocellular injury induced by oral administration of Cr(3+) in chicken.

This study aims to investigate the oxidative stress and hepatocellular injury induced by Cr(3+) in chicken. Different doses of CrCl3 solutions (50% LD50 , 25% LD50 , and 12.5% LD50) and equivalent water were orally administered to chicken.

[Preparation conditions optimization of Epimedium polysaccharide liposome].

Objective: To optimize the preparation conditions of Epimedium polysaccharide liposome (EPSL).

Methods: EPSL was prepared by membrane distribution-supersound method. In preparation of EPSL test, an orthogonal L9 (3(4)) test was used to optimize the preparation conditions, with four factors of ratio of drug to lipid, ratio of lecithin to cholesterol, ultrasonic time and water bath temperature and two indexes of encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading rate.
