Objective: Previously, it was shown that ozone and S-methylthiourea (SMT) treatments had ameliorative effects on experimental models of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). It is possible that the combination of ozone and SMT may be more effective than either therapy. Therefore, we investigated the efficacy of combination therapy with ozone and SMT in an experimental rat model of ANP.
Material And Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five experimental groups. Groups were designed as Sham-operated, ANP, ANP + Ozone, ANP + SMT and ANP + Ozone + SMT. A model of ANP was induced by injection of sodium taurocholate into the common biliopancreatic duct. Four days after induction, blood and tissue samples were obtained for biochemical, microbiological and histopathological analysis.
Results: Survival rates, serum amylase, lipase and neopterin levels, tissue oxidative stress parameters, bacterial translocation and tissue injury scores were better in the ozone and SMT groups than in the ANP group. There was no bacterial translocation in the ozone-treated groups. Tissue injury scores in the ozone group were better compared to all ANP induced groups. Ozone and SMT treatment in combination did not have better biochemical, microbiological and histological data compared to ozone or SMT treatments separately in experimental ANP.
Conclusions: The combination of ozone and SMT did not provide any therapeutic advantage in ANP possibly because SMT inhibited nitric oxide synthesis which was needed for ozone action.

Ozonation has gradually become a routine process for advanced wastewater treatment. During the technology innovation on the advanced treatment of wastewater by ozonation, researchers have to assess the performance of abundant new technologies, new reactors, and new materials. However, they are usually puzzled by the rational selection of model pollutants to assess the capability of such new technologies to eliminate the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) of practical wastewater.

Abundant disposable surgical masks (SMs) remain in the environment and continue to age under urban environmental stressors. This study aimed to investigate the aging characteristics of SMs and the effect of different aged layers of SMs on phenanthrene (PHE), tylosin (TYL), and sulfamethazine (SMT) under two different urban environmental stressors (UV and ozone). The results show that UV exposure causes more severe aging of the SM layers than ozone.

In this study, the degradation and mineralization of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by ozonation and ionizing radiation were investigated respectively, and the performance of the combined process of ozonation and ionizing radiation was evaluated. Results showed that complete degradation of SMX could be obtained by ozonation in 12 min or by ionizing radiation with the absorbed dose of 1.5 kGy.

In this research, degradation of three sulfonamide antibiotic compounds (SNAs) such as Sulfasalazine (SSZ), Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and Sulfamethazine (SMT) as well as Metronidazole (MNZ) were investigated for the first time using experimental, modeling and simulation data under O, HO, and O/HO systems. The kinetic and synergistic study confirmed the pseudo-first-order reaction and highest performance of the O/HO process for the SNAs degradation process. Two modeling approach, central composite design (CCD) based on response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were utilized to investigate the optimization and modeling of SSZ degradation as the response of O/HO system and results were compared.
