Water eutrophication has emerged as a pervasive ecological challenge worldwide. To realize the resource utilization of waste and nutrients, a novel rape straw-derived biochar-calcium alginate composite (M-CA-RBC) immobilized Pseudomonas sp. H6 was synthesized to simultaneously remove phosphate (PO) and ammonium (NH) from distillery wastewater. The removal performance of PO and NH by M-CA-RBC were investigated. The removal mechanisms were explored by using different adsorption models combined with microbial degradation kinetics, analysis of dissolved organic matter components, electrochemical analysis, metagenomics, and metabolomics. The resource application potential of M-CA-RBC was evaluated. The results showed that M-CA-RBC had good removal performance for PO (17.81 mg/g) and NH (25.78 mg/g). Surface precipitation, electrostatic attraction, Poly-P accumulation, microbial-induced calcium precipitation, and microbial assimilation were the main removal mechanisms of PO by M-CA-RBC. The removal mechanisms of NH were micropore filling, ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD). M-CA-RBC had a good application potential in the practical distillery wastewater, with removal rates of PO and NH reaching 88% and 65%, respectively. After adsorption saturation, M-CA-RBC exhibited good stability, which could be used as a slow-release fertilizer to promote the growth of mung beans. This study provides practical significance for the efficient removal and recovery of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater.

Disinfectant wipes are widely used to reduce microbial contamination on surfaces, yet there is limited information on how viruses are physically removed or chemically inactivated during wiping. This study aimed to address this gap by comparing the contributions of physical removal and chemical inactivation to overall disinfection efficacy. Glass and vinyl coupons were contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 surrogates, bovine coronavirus (BCoV), or human coronavirus OC43, at an initial titer of 5-6 log TCID/surface with 5% soil load.

Microalgae-bacteria symbiosis system is significant for sustainable and low-carbon wastewater treatment, with self-aggregation being key to its stable operation and effective pollutant removal. Cellular motility is the main driving force behind self-aggregation, crucial for symbiosis stability, but the characteristics and patterns involved still remain largely unexplored. Here, cellular movement dynamics into the microalgae-activated sludge model (ASM3) is incorporated, enabling synchronized simulation of metabolic activities and movement behaviors through physical and biochemical interactions in bioreactor systems.

Astrocytes play a crucial role in ensuring neuronal survival and function. In stroke, astrocytes trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), a newly identified endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced neurotrophic factor, attenuates cerebral ischemic injury by reducing inflammatory responses.

Ectopic spleen (ES) is a rare complication of autologous transplant following spleen injury. Autopsy studies suggest that the true incidence rate could be as high as 67%, though only 5%-10% of patients require clinical intervention. This case report describes a highly cautionary case of ES, with an extremely long latent period.

Introduction: Not all wound patients are candidates for surgical debridement. A felted, reticulated open cell foam with an array of 10 mm holes (VFCC) for use with instillation therapy has been used to eliminate non-viable tissue from patient wound beds. The mechanisms for this have not been fully elucidated.
