The etiology for the high tumor mortality in heavy polluted Yinghe river basin is still unclear and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) belong to the priority pollutants in water based on the former surveillance data. In order to explore the potential genotoxicants contributing to the double-endpoint genotoxicity of polluted drinking water source, 12 groundwater and 3 surface water samples were collected from 3 villages and the nearby rivers alongside Yinghe river basin, respectively and their comprehensive genotoxicity was estimated with a bioassay group of SOS/umu test and micronucleus (MN) test (MNT). Some groundwater samples showed positive genotoxicity and all surface water samples were highly genotoxic. Eight groundwater samples showed DNA genotoxic effect with the average 4-NQO equivalent concentration (TEQ) of 0.067 µg/L and 0.089 µg/L in wet and dry season, respectively. The average MN ratios of groundwater samples were 14.19‰ and 17.52‰ in wet and dry season, respectively. Groundwater samples showed different genotoxic effect among 3 villages. The total PAHs concentrations in all water samples ranged from 8.98 to 25.17 ng/L with an average of 14.97±4.85 ng/L. BaA, CHR, BkF, BaP and DBA were the main carcinogenic PAHs contributing to the genotoxicity of water samples. In conclusion, carcinogenic PAHs are possibly related to the high tumor mortality in the target area. Characterization of carcinogenic PAHs to genotoxicity of drinking water source may shed light on the etiology study for high tumor mortality in Yinghe river basin.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease which is characterized by pathological osteogenesis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification is pivotal in immunity and inflammation. In this study, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from healthy or AS patients blood samples in Fuyang People's Hospital, which was utilized to clarify the role of m6A modification in AS pathogenesis.

This study pays a special attention to three phenolic endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), - bisphenol A (BPA), 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), and 4-tert-octylphenol (4-t-OP) - that are present in urban environments, resultant of several anthropogenic activities that can be also carried through rainfall runoff. We investigated the distributions of BPA, 4-NP, and 4-t-OP in Pearl River basin and estimated the mass loads in rainfall runoff, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, and industrial wastewater from urbanized Huizhou and Dongguan regions. These three phenolic EDCs were detected frequently in tributaries and mainstream of Dongjiang River with the maximum 4-NP concentrations of 14,540 ng/L in surface waters and 3088 ng/g in sediments.

Peiai 64S (PA64S) is a photoperiod- and thermo sensitive genic male sterile (PTGMS) rice line that has been widely applied in two-line hybrid rice breeding. The male fertility mechanism of PTGMS has always been the research focus. We obtained fertile PA64S (F) and sterile fertile PA64S (S) plants at 21℃ and 28℃, respectively.

In order to seek ways to improve the quality of polluted rivers, this study selected the heavily polluted Yinghe River in China for study, as there is a requirement to improve water quality from the Yangtze River to the Yinghe River. The permanganate index and ammonia nitrogen are the main pollutant targets for the Yinghe River. This study applies MIKE11 to set up a one-dimensional model of the hydrodynamics and water quality using a numerical simulation method to determine the optimal method for river water quality improvement.
