Using Chl alpha removal rate as index, a 28 kHz/900w ultrasonic cleaning machine was applied to testify algal removal by ultrasonic irradiation from raw water of a pool, where Microcystis aeruginosa colonies is absolutely dominated with temperature being over 20 degrees C, and the irradiation lasted for 5 min. PAC was used as flocculant at the dose of 60 mgl(-1), jar tests were done to investigate the Chl alpha removal by flocculation. The results showed that ultrasound raised the water temperature instantly but did not lead to a regular pH change pattern in all the treated samples. Ultrasound could remove more than 90% of Chl alpha from raw water with temperature over 31 degrees C, but less than 20% of Chl alpha or even increased Chl alpha concentration in some samples with temperature lower than 31 degrees C. Compared with the algal removal effects by direct raw water flocculation with PAC, ultrasound did not enhance markedly the flocculation effects on algae removal, which was not in agreement with the findings reported. The reason might be due to morphology and characteristics of natural algae differed greatly from that of algae cultured in laboratory.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of edentulism, smoking, microbiota, and oral rehabilitation on the cytokine profile in healthy and hypertensive edentulous individuals using complete dentures.
Design: This case-control study was divided into four groups: normotensives (control group - NH), controlled hypertensives (case group 1 - CH), unreported hypertensives (case group 2 - UnrH), and uncontrolled hypertensives (case group 3 - UncH). The participants were characterized by sociodemographic data, clinical and behavioral information, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Background: Hearing loss significantly affects children's lives; however, the health-related quality of life (QoL) of children with this disability is not well measured. We sought to develop a reliable and valid measure of health-related QoL in children with hearing loss.
Methods: We constructed a conceptual framework to assess the QoL of children with hearing loss based on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ Version 4.

Albino tea cultivars with distinct leaf colors have rarely been used to explore the metabolic mechanism of leaf color formation. Carotenoids and chlorophyll are primary pigments affecting leaf color with differential metabolic mechanisms in albino tea resources. TEM analysis showed that in albino stage, much less chloroplasts with abnormal structure were observed in white and yellow tea leaves, which corresponded to the significant reduction of total chlorophyll, Chl a and Chl b, and increase of Chl a/b, resulting in tea leaves to lose their green color.
