Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) is a group of malignant tumors that originate in the digestive system and occurs with a high incidence in China. Few consistent and comparable assessments of BTC disease burden have been conducted at national or subnational levels, and little is known about the demographic, temporal, and geographic patterns of epidemiological characteristics and disease burden of BTC in China. The incidence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs) due to premature death and years lived with disability (YLDs) of BTC were comprehensively examined by age, sex, and calendar year in the Chinese population, using the methodological framework and analytical strategies used for the 2021 Global Burden of Disease study.

Background: Hypertensive renal injury is one of the most lethal complications of hypertension. At present, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blockers are considered the best drugs for the treatment of renal injury in hypertension because of their nephroprotective effect of reducing proteinuria, but there are no specific drugs for this purpose, however, clinical trials proved that Chinese medicine has a protective effect on target organs in the treatment of hypertension. .

A sequencing batch reactor-anaerobic sequencing batch reactor(SBR-ASBR) process was used to treat domestic sewage. In the SBR, the effects of the anoxic/aerobic time ratio and temperature on the realization of partial nitritation(PN) were investigated. In the ASBR, the effects of different COD/NO-N(C/N) ratios on the removal of nitrogen and carbon using anaerobic ammonia oxidation(ANAMMOX) and denitrification were studied.

A significant factor for eutrophication is the excessive discharge of ammonia nitrogen. Unfortunately, traditional methods to remove ammonia nitrogen are ineffective when facing gradually strict rules. Recently, adsorption has gained interest from scholars due to its efficiency and safety in ammonia nitrogen treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how hydraulic retention time (HRT) affects the removal of phosphorus and nitrogen in a modified two sludge A/O-BAF system.
  • The results showed that with varying HRTs of 9, 8, 7, and 6 hours, the effluent's chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen (NH-N), and total phosphorus (TP) levels were consistently low, with the best denitrifying performance observed at 8 hours HRT.
  • It was noted that as HRT decreased, the proportion of denitrifying phosphorus accumulation organisms (DPAOs) dropped significantly, and overall sludge activity reduced, indicated by lower MLVSS/MLSS ratios.

Tuning the magnetic anisotropy of metal ions remains highly interesting in the design of improved single-molecule magnets (SMMs). We herein report synthetic, structural, magnetic, and computational studies of four mononuclear Co complexes, namely [Co(hfac) (MeCN) ] (1), [Co(hfac) (Spy) ] (2), [Co(hfac) (MBIm) ] (3), and [Co(hfac) (DMF) ] (4) (MeCN=acetonitrile, hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetone, Spy=4-styrylpyridine, MbIm=5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide), with distorted octahedral geometry constructed from hexafluoroacetylacetone (hfac) and various axial ligands. By a building block approach, complexes 2-4 were synthesized by recrystallization of the starting material of 1 from various ligands containing solution.

For a long time, the cobalt(II) complex ([Co(napy) ](ClO ) ) (napy=1, 8-naphthyridine) has been considered as an eight-coordinate complex without any structural proof. After careful considerations, two complexes [Co(napy) Cl ] (1) and [Co(napy) ](ClO ) (2) based on the bidentate ligand napy were synthesized and structurally characterized. X-ray single-crystal structural determination showed that the cobalt(II) center in [Co(napy) Cl ] (1) is four-coordinate with a tetrahedral geometry (T ), while [Co(napy) ](ClO ) (2) is seven-coordinate rather than eight-coordinate with a capped trigonal prism geometry (C ).

A synthetic wastewater was employed to investigate the realization of short-cut nitrification and its phosphorus removal performance in a CAST reactor operated at 22℃, 25℃, and 28℃. The results showed that TN removal of the system was stable and higher than 80% at different temperatures, and NH-N removal performed well. When the temperature was at 22℃ and 25℃, nitrite accumulation was not observed in the system and the phosphorus removal rate were 94.

Real domestic sewage was treated in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). When the partial nitrification of SBR was achieved, the effluent was fed with quantitative NaNO, which served as the influent of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) process of the anaerobic SBR (ASBR). The effect of different substrate ratios on the removal of nitrogen and carbon using anaerobic ammonium oxidation and denitrification was investigated under conditions with a temperature of 24℃ and pH of 7.
