[Establishment of mouse model of bone metastasis of prostate cancer and breast cancer via femoral artery injection of tumor cells].

Objective: To explore an efficient and reliable method for establishing an animal model of bone metastasis of tumors.

Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into 4 equal groups to receive injections of normal saline or prostate cancer RM-1 cell suspension via the femoral artery or the external iliac artery, and breast cancer 4T1-luc cells were injected in 15 female BALB/c mice via the femoral artery. The operation time, postoperative survival rate, and the tumor formation rates in the mice with two different injection methods were compared.

A novel technique of semi-aerobic aged refuse biofilter for leachate treatment.

We developed a semi-aerobic aged refuse biofilter (SAARB) for leachate treatment and examined its advantages and disadvantages compared to previous aged refuse biofilters (ARBs). To assess its treatment capability, decontamination mechanisms and optimal performance parameters, a single-period experiment and L(9)(3(4)) orthogonal array design experiments were conducted on artificial leachate. The SAARB markedly enhanced the treatment capability and removal efficiency of organic matter and nitrogen pollutants due to the alternating aerobic-anoxic-anaerobic zones in situ.
