Dissection of key factors correlating with H5N1 avian influenza virus driven inflammatory lung injury of chicken identified by single-cell analysis.

Chicken lung is an important target organ of avian influenza virus (AIV) infection, and different pathogenic virus strains lead to opposite prognosis. Using a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) assay, we systematically and sequentially analyzed the transcriptome of 16 cell types (19 clusters) in the lung tissue of chickens infected with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and H9N2 low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV), respectively. Notably, we developed a valuable catalog of marker genes for these cell types.

TiO/CdS composite photocathode improves the performance and degradation of wastewater in microbial fuel cells.

Optimization of dye decolourization for wastewater and power production are explored in dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with TiO/CdS photocathodes. The rapid reduction of azo dye methylene blue (MB) and power production were enhanced with TiO/CdS photocathode under illumination. The analysis of electrochemical impedance spectra indicated that the photocatalysis of TiO/CdS accelerated the electron transfer process of photoelectrode reduction.

Enhanced performance and degradation of wastewater in microbial fuel cells using titanium dioxide nanowire photocathodes.

This paper explores the decolorization of dye wastewaters and electricity generation using dual-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with titanium dioxide nanowire (TiO NW) photocathodes. TiO NW cathodes under ultraviolet light are observed to enhance the reduction of azo dye Active Red 30 (AR 30) and electricity generation. The analysis of electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) indicates acceleration of the electron transfer processes of photoelectrode reduction by the photocatalysis of TiO NWs, with polarization resistance of the photocathode being 10.

Synthesis and Adsorption Performance of a Hierarchical Micro-Mesoporous Carbon for Toluene Removal under Ambient Conditions.

Ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were synthesized in this study through a soft template method and then activated by employing different mass ratios of KOH/OMCs to obtain KOH-activated ordered mesoporous carbons (KOMCs) with hierarchical pore structures. To verify the adsorption capacity, the KOMCs have been subjected to toluene emission-reduction experiments. The KOMCs were characterized by TEM, XRD, N adsorption-desorption isotherms, and Raman spectroscopy.

Preparation of Hollow Flower-Like Microspherical β-BiO/BiOCl Heterojunction and High Photocatalytic Property for Tetracycline Hydrochloride Degradation.

Tetracycline cannot be effectively degraded in wastewater treatment. Therefore, the development of excellent photocatalysts is of significant importance for environmental protection. In this study, a β-BiO/BiOCl heterojunction photocatalyst with hollow flower-like microspheres was successfully synthesized by the in-situ reaction of HCl and β-BiO hollow spheres.
