The effect of 22 technological waste water samples and of some standards was tested on bacteria, fungi, chlorococcal algae, flagellata, plant cells, cells of Tubifex tubifex, hamster cells V79 and the fish Lebistes reticulatus. Of these 22 samples, some inhibition of cell life processes was displayed by the black liquor formed in the production of paper pulp and viscose pulp, by the waste solution produced during the preparation of bleaching agents for paper pulp and viscose pulp, and by the residual liquor after hypochlorite treatment of paper pulp.

Untreated waste liquid mixtures often support large bacterial populations, posing challenges to effective purification due to high volume and limited filtration efficiency. This study aims to develop a multifunctional filtration membrane that combines both filtration and sterilization, enhancing overall purification efficiency. Using electrospinning technology, we fabricated a superhydrophilic, oil-repellent membrane by integrating the hydrophilic properties of chitosan, antibacterial N-halamine groups, and the mechanical strength of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC).

Objectives: Transmitted-light plethysmography (TLP) is an objective and non-invasive pulp diagnosis method that has already been validated for applications for incisors. However, there is a demand for TLP use in the molars, it has not yet been established for this application. This study investigated the optimal light source wavelengths for TLP in premolars, to establish a pulp diagnosis system based on measuring pulpal blood flow.

Conventional light-driven antimicrobial strategies of zinc oxide (ZnO) are limited by inadequate illumination in dark environments. In this study, carboxylated cellulose nanocrystals (MCNC) mediated flower-like ZnO (C@Z) with self-promoted reactive oxygen species release under dark is fabricated. The adsorption of Zn ions on MCNC prompts the growth of ZnO along the (002) crystal plane, forming a flower-like hybrid with superior dispersibility and oxygen vacancies compared to MCNC-free ZnO, which exposes the (100) plane.

In this study, water-soluble fraction (WSF), chelator-soluble fraction (CSF), and sodium carbonate-soluble fraction (NSF) were sequentially fractionated from pear pulp, of which physicochemical properties and hypolipidemic activities in vitro were evaluated. They showed distinct monosaccharide composition, surface morphology, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrums. WSF and NSF were identified as high methyl-esterified pectic polysaccharides with degrees of methyl esterification (DM) of 85.
