Sulfonamide antibiotics (SMs) and heavy metals, simultaneously existing in swine wastewater, threat ecological security and public health. Anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactor (AnDMBR) technology has shown great potential for excellent and cost-effective treatment of various types of industrial wastewaters. Herein, it was for the first time applied for treating the swine wastewater containing both SMs and heavy metals, with particular efforts devoted to understanding the fate of SMs and heavy metals with their effect on dynamic membrane (DM) fouling. The AnDMBR exhibited effective removal efficiency of COD (91.2 %), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) (94.2 %), sulfadiazine (SDZ) (51.2 %), sulfamethazine (SMZ) (52.8 %), Cu (88.5 %) and Zn (73.3 %). Biodegradation and bioadsorption was found to be the major mechanism for the removal of SMs and heavy metals, respectively, with DM playing considerable roles. Furthermore, EPS adsorption turned out to be another key mechanism for removing SMs and heavy metals, particularly in DM. The exposure to SMs and heavy metals significantly increased the specific resistance of DM, and consequently expedited DM fouling. This was mainly due to the increased content of small particles, EPS content (mainly hydrophobic proteins) and relative abundance of biofouling-related bacteria (i.e., Firmicutes, Chloroflexi and Clostridia), resulting in a denser DM structure with lower porosity.

Inhalation of elemental mercury is a rare cause of ARDS, with limited published case reports to provide guidance regarding disease progression and management. Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to treat toxin-induced lung injury, its application to initial treatment and long-term recovery for inhalation of mercury remains undescribed. We present a case of a 56-year-old man who works at a thermometer factory presenting with severe ARDS secondary to inhaled elemental mercury with confirmatory blood and urine mercury levels.

Background: Immunomagnetic separation is essential for screening pathogenic bacteria to prevent food poisoning. However, free immunomagnetic nanobeads (IMNBs) coexist with IMNB-bacteria conjugates (IBCs) after traditional immunomagnetic separation resulting in the infeasibility for IMNBs on IBCs to further act as signal label in bacterial detection. Although we have demonstrated that magnetophoretic separation at a high flowrate could separate IBCs from IMNBs, partial IMNBs were still found with IBCs due to chaotic flows and resulted in inevitable interferences.

The sensitive, efficient, and simultaneous assay of creatinine and urea in different body fluid is crucial for the daily detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease. Here, we exploited a versatile composite surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-flower-like ZIF-67@Ag nanoparticles (NPs) based on simple in-situ growth and ion sputtering strategies. The plasmonic Ag NPs assembled on the three-dimensional anisotropic ZIF-67 matrix, facilitating numerous resonant electromagnetic "hotspots".
