The contamination of hazardous agrochemical substances in water caused essential trouble for humans and the environment. The functional textile was used as an effective adsorbent for paraquat removal from an aqueous solution. The coating of anionic cyclodextrin polymer, issued from the cross-linking between 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid and β-cyclodextrin in the presence of poly (vinyl alcohol), on the cotton cord, was firstly investigated. Their physicochemical characteristics were also characterized by gravimetry, acid-base titration, ATR-FTIR, C NMR, TGA, and stereo-microscopy. The BDP5 system revealed 107.3% coating yield, 1.13 mmol/g COOH groups, and 95.1% paraquat removal for 25 mg/L of initial concentration. The pseudo-second-order model was appropriate for kinetics using 6 h of contact time. Langmuir isotherm was suitable with the maximum adsorption of 30.3 mg/g for paraquat adsorption. The weight loss was 10.7% and 7.8%, respectively, for water and 5% / of HCI in ethanol after 120 h of contact time. Finally, the reusability efficiency stayed at 88.9% after five regeneration.

Tau phosphorylation suppresses oxidative stress-induced mitophagy via FKBP8 receptor modulation.

PLoS One

Article Synopsis
  • Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are linked to problems with mitochondria, specifically mitophagy, which is the process of removing damaged mitochondria.
  • Research indicates that mutated tau proteins can inhibit this process, affecting cell health during oxidative stress.
  • In this study, it was found that certain tau mutations reduce levels of a key mitophagy receptor, FKBP8, which could help explain tau's role in mitochondrial dysfunction related to Alzheimer's and suggest FKBP8 as a target for future treatments.

Proteomic characterization of molecular mechanisms of paraquat-induced lung injury in a mouse model.

Respir Res

January 2025

Emergency Department, The First Hospital of China Medical University, No.155 North Nanjing Street, Heping District, Shenyang, Liaoning, 110001, China.

Background: We sought to explore the molecular mechanisms underpinning acute lung injury (ALI) caused by poisoning with paraquat (PQ).

Methods: Selection mice were intraperitoneally injected with PQ at 40 mg/kg, whereas controls were injected with sterile saline. On days 2, 7, and 14 after administration, mice were anesthetized and sacrificed, and lung tissue was removed.

2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bipiridinium chloride (paraquat) are among the most widely used herbicides and are known to be toxic. Fabrication of green adsorbents which are capable of removing both herbicides remains a challenge. Here, we fabricate a novel adsorbent from tropical waste wood and use a facile, chitosan-mediated N-heteroatom functionalization technique to augment surface nitrogen and improve specific surface area.

The high water consumption in agriculture has led to an obvious water crisis in this sector, and the use of unconventional water sources, especially agricultural drains, is considered necessary. For this purpose, the present study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of biological filters with different types of substrates for treating agricultural wastewater in Khuzestan province, located in the south of Iran, to use receptive resources and reuse them in agriculture. Next, the efficiency of four types of biological filters for treating agricultural drainage water with different retention times was evaluated.

Introduction: Overusing and misusing pesticides, including paraquat (PQ), have led to numerous environmental contamination complications. PQ is an emerging bio-accumulative contaminant that is present in environmental aqueous matrices. Adsorption techniques are part of a set of technologies applied in ecological remediation, known for their high effectiveness in removing aqueous PQ.
