Sodium Sulfite as a Novel Hypoxia Revulsant Involved in Hypoxic Regulation in .

As a reducing salt, sodium sulfite could deprive oxygen in solution, which could mimic hypoxic stress in . In this study, the wild-type strain MG1655 was used to examine the inhibition of sodium sulfite-induced hypoxia by observing the bacterial growth curves. We also analyzed the growth curves of mutant strains (for , , , and ) related to hypoxic pathways to reveal roles of the related genes during hypoxia.

Loss of nuclear ARC contributes to the development of cardiac hypertrophy in rats.

Aim: Cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial apoptosis are two major factors in heart failure. As a classical regulator of apoptosis, apoptosis repressor with caspase recruitment domain (ARC) has recently also been found to have a protective effect against hypertrophy. However, the mechanism underlying this effect is still not fully understood.

[Advanced Treatment of Effluent from Industrial Park Wastewater Treatment Plant by Ferrous Ion Activated Sodium Persulfate].

Fe(II) activated sodium persulfate (PS) technology was used for advanced treatment of effluent from industrial park wastewater treatment plant. Separate and combined effects of PS/COD, Fe(II)/PS and pH on COD and TOC removal were analyzed by the response surface methodology. Variations of organic substances before and after Fe(II)-PS oxidation were characterized by UV-Vis spectrometry, gel chromatography and three-dimensional fluorescence.
