Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is primarily caused by high-risk HPV infections but understanding the role of cervical fungi in this process is essential, as the study aims to explore their potential correlation with cervical cancer while controlling for other factors.
- The research involved 5,528 patients who had abnormal cervical screening results, utilizing clinical data and statistical analyses to examine the associations between HPV and fungal co-infections and various types of cervical lesions.
- Findings suggest that co-infection with fungi and HPV appears to reduce the risk of developing cervical lesions and cancer significantly compared to HPV infection alone, indicating a sub-additive effect where the combined infections are less harmful together than individually.
Article Synopsis
- Fenton-like processes utilizing persulfate for water treatment can be improved by adding redox-active biochar, which helps convert Fe(III) to Fe(II) and increases reactive species that can break down contaminants.
- Research found inconsistent data regarding the formation of reactive species in the biochar/Fe(III)/persulfate system, which complicates assessments of treatment effectiveness across different water types.
- Through experiments, findings suggest that sulfate radicals are the primary reactive species in pure water, while the presence of organic matter and varying chloride levels can alter the dominant reactive species and enhance contaminant degradation.
Produced water (PW) is the largest waste stream generated by hydraulic fracturing in an unconventional shale gas reservoir. Oxidation processes (OPs) are frequently used as advanced treatment method in highly complicated water matrix treatments. However, the degradation efficiency is the main focus of research, organic compounds and their toxicity have not been properly explored.

Previous studies generally focused on the end-of-pipe treatment of the PW and ignored the early collection process. In this study, the transformation of the molecular composition and microbial community structure of the PW in the transportation and storage process (i.
