High-concentration antibiotics are detected in surface water from time to time. There has been an increasing demand for strengthening the supervision of the antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater. Three-dimensional fluorescence technique is known as a rapid, simple and high-sensitivity method. The three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum can display organic components and it was named as aqueous fingerprint. In this paper, three-dimensional fluorescence characteristics of a typical semi synthetic penicillin pharmaceutical wastewater were studied. There were totally four fluorescence peaks in the aqueous fingerprint of this wastewater, locating in excitation wavelength/emission wavelength of 360/445, 255/445, 275/305 and 230/300 nm respectively. Fluorescence peak’s intensity within certain range related linearly to the relative concentration. The possible fluorescent pollutants related to Peak C and Peak D might be the mixture of D-(-)-A-4-Hydroxyphenylglycine Dane Salt Methyl Potassium (pharmaceutical intermediates), Amoxicillin (pharmaceutical product) and D(-)-4-Hydroxyphenylglycine (pharmaceutical hydrolysate). PH played an important role in the fluorescence characteristics of this wastewater. This indicated that the fluorescent organic pollutants in this wastewater might contain acid or base groups. The aqueous fingerprint technique could be used to monitor the discharge of semi synthetic penicillin pharmaceutical wastewater as a novel tool.

The modification of thermoplastic polymers is frequently impeded by the inherent contradiction between their toughness and strength. In this study, an effective strategy to significantly improve the mechanical properties of ductile polymers by simply adding a complimentary rigid polymer is introduced. This work uses a semi-crystalline polymer aliphatic polyketone (POK) as the matrix material and a small quantity of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the rigid polymer, through establishing molecular chain entanglements at the interface to produce POK/PMMA blends with exceptional mechanical property.

Lignin valorization is crucial for achieving economic and sustainable biorefinery processes. However, the enzyme substrate preferences involved in lignin degradation remain poorly understood, and low activity toward specific substrates presents a significant challenge to the efficient utilization of lignin. In this study, we investigated the substrate promiscuity of Ado, a key enzyme involved in lignin valorization.

Introduction: Patients with cerebral hemorrhage often require a tracheal intubation to protect the airway and maintain oxygenation. Due to the use of analgesic and sedative drugs during endotracheal intubation and the opening of the glottis may easily cause aspiration pneumonia. Ceftriaxone is a semi-synthetic third-generation cephalosporin with strong antimicrobial activity against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Lung ultrasound works by emitting diagnostic pulses, receiving pressure waves and converting them into radio frequency (RF) data, which are then processed into B-mode images with beamformers for radiologists to interpret. However, unlike conventional ultrasound for soft tissue anatomical imaging, lung ultrasound interpretation is complicated by complex reverberations from the pleural interface caused by the inability of ultrasound to penetrate air.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are invasive solid tumors accounting for high mortality. To improve the clinical outcome, a better understanding of the tumor and its microenvironment (TME) is crucial. Three -dimensional (3D) bioprinting is emerging as a powerful tool for recreating the TME in vitro.
