- Abstract
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a test method performed on the sampling site or patient bedside. Accurate results can be achieved rapidly by the application of portable analytical instruments and compatible reagents. It has been widely used in the field of in vitro diagnosis (IVD). Paper-based microfluidics technology has great potential in developing POCT due to its advantages in low cost, simple operation, rapid detection, portable equipment, and unrestricted application conditions. In recent years, the development of paper-based microfluidic technology and its integration with various new technologies and methods have promoted the substantial development of POCT technology and methods. The classification and characteristic of the paper are summarized in this review. Paper-based microfluidic sample pretreatment methods, the flow control in the process of reaction and the signal detecting and analyzing methods for the testing results are introduced. The research progress of various kinds of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) toward POCT in recent years is reviewed. Finally, remaining problems and the future prospects in POCT application of paper-based microfluidics are discussed.

- Abstract
Purpose: To compare the effects of three occlusal adjustment methods in different sequences by articulating paper on the delayed occlusal characteristics of single molars., Methods: Thirty-two implants of first molars were divided into group A(n=12), group B (n=12) and group C (n=12) by sequential adjustment according to random number means, and (100+40), (100+50+30) and (100+40+20) μm sequence occlusal papers were used for occlusal adjustment, respectively. TeeTester was used to measure the delay time and force ratio between prosthesis and adjacent teeth at restoration day, 3 and 6 months after restoration, and to record the number of cases readjusting in each group during follow-up. SPSS 25.0 software package was used for data analysis., Results: There were significant differences in delay time between groups at restoration day (P<0.05), and 3 and 6 months after restoration, delay time of group C was still smaller than that of group A and B (P<0.05). During follow-up, the time of each group showed a trend of shortening (P<0.05), but there was still delayed occlusion. Compared with group B and C, the force ratio in group A was lower at each time(P<0.05). The ratio of each group showed an increasing trend during follow-up (P<0.05), and group C showed the largest increase (P<0.001). The number of cases readjusting was relatively small in group A, and the most was in group C(P<0.05). There was positive correlation between delay time and force difference of prosthesis and adjacent teeth(P<0.001)., Conclusions: The (100+40) μm sequence group had higher occlusal stability and better clinical applicability. The smaller the occlusal contact space realized by the sequential method, the greater the change might be, which requires close follow-up in clinical practice.

- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics of scientific papers in the field of global liver diseases published by Chinese scholars that were retracted for diverse reasons from the Retraction Watch database, so as to provide a reference to publishing-related papers. Methods: The Retraction Watch database was retrieved for retracted papers in the field of global liver disease published by Chinese scholars from March 1, 2008 to January 28, 2021. The regional distribution, source journals, reasons for retraction, publication and retraction times, and others were analyzed. Results: A total of 101 retracted papers that were distributed across 21 provinces/cities were retrieved. Zhejiang area ( n = 17) had the most retracted papers, followed by Shanghai ( n = 14), and Beijing ( n = 11). The vast majority were research papers ( n = 95). The journal PLoS One had the highest number of retracted papers. In terms of time distribution, 2019 ( n = 36) had the most retracted papers. 23 papers, accounting for 8.3% of all retractions, were retracted owing to journal or publisher concerns. Liver cancer (34%), liver transplantation (16%), hepatitis (14%), and others were the main areas of retracted papers. Conclusion: Chinese scholars have a large number of retracted articles in the field of global liver diseases. A journal or publisher chooses to retract a manuscript after investigating and discovering more flawed problems, which, however, require further support, revision, and supervision from the editorial and academic circles.

- Abstract
Objective: To explore the influence of the thickness of mixed cardboard on the compressive strength of glass ionomer cement and the associated factors., Methods: Three different types of glass ionomer cements were mixed on the top of 60, 40, 20 and 1 pieces of paper (P60, P40, P20 and P1), respectively. The compressive strength of the materials was tested after solidification, and the bubble rate was calculated with the assistance of scanning electron microscope., Results: (1) Compressive strength: ① ChemFil Superior glass ionomer (CF): The average compressive strength of P1 group was the highest, which was significantly different from that of P40 and P60 groups ( P values were 0.041 and 0.032 respectively); ② To Fuji IX GP glass ionomer (IX): The average compressive strength of P1 group was the highest, which was statistically different from that of P40 and P60 groups ( P values were 0.042 and 0.038 respectively); ③ Glaslonomer FX-Ⅱ glass ionomer cement (FX): The average compressive strength of P1 group was the highest, which was statistically different from that of P20, P40 and P60 groups ( P values were 0.031, 0.040 and 0.041 respectively), but there was no statistical difference among the other groups. All the three materials showed that the compressive strength of glass ions gradually increased with the decrease of the thickness of the blended paperboard, and the two materials had a highly linear negative correlation, the correlation coefficients of which were CF-0.927, IX-0.989, FX-0.892, respectively. (2) Scanning electron microscope: P1 group had the least bubbles among the three materials., Conclusion: It indicates that the thickness of mixed cardboard has a negative correlation with the compressive strength of glass ions. The thicker the mixed cardboard is, the greater the elasticity is. Excessive elasticity will accelerate the mixing speed when the grinding glass ions. Studies have shown that the faster the speed of artificial mixing is, the more bubbles is produced.The thicker ther mixed cardboard is, the more bubblesn are generated by glass ionomer cement, and the higher the compressive strength is. Using one piece of paper board to mix glass ionomer cement has the least bubbles and can obtain higher compressive strength.

- Abstract
Objective: To explore the diagnostic value of a novel test paper, which detect eosinophil cationic protein(ECP) of nasal secretion in allergic rhinitis(AR). Methods: Nasal secretion and serum samples from 107 patients with allergic rhinitis(AR group) and 40 healthy volunteers(control group) were selected. The nasal symptoms were also evaluated in AR group. The degree of ECP coloration was evaluated by nasal secretion eosinophil cationic protein-myeloperoxid(ECP-MPO) test paper, and the concentration of ECP in nasal secretion and the concentration of cytokines in serum were detected at the same time. The difference and correlation among these indexes were analyzed. The best cutoff value and test efficiency of ECP chromogenic grade and concentration of nasal secretion were calculated by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC). Results: The concentration of ECP in nasal secretion of AR patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls( P <0.05). The color grade of nasal secretion detected by the test paper was positively correlated with the concentration of ECP in nasal secretion( P <0.05), and there was significant difference among different grades( P <0.05). There was a satisfying symmetry between the ECP color grade of nasal secretion and the serum specific IgE(sIgE) level as well as a high diagnostic consistency between them( P <0.05). The area under the curve(AUC) of ECP concentration ROC in nasal secretion was 0.807 2, corresponding to 64% sensitivity and 85% specificity when the cutoff value was set at 0.980 5; when the cutoff value was set at 1, the AUC of nasal secretion ECP color grading was 0.941 9, corresponding to 92% sensitivity and 94% specificity. No clear correlation between the concentration of ECP in nasal secretion and serum cytokines was found( P >0.05). Conclusion: The results of this novel test paper is in good agreement with those of serological allergens. It could serve as a preliminary test to evaluate the severity of allergy with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity, and is especially suitable in clinical practice for primary hospital., Competing Interests: The authors of this article and the planning committee members and staff have no relevant financial relationships with commercial interests to disclose., (Copyright© by the Editorial Department of Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.)

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the significance of bacteria detection with filter paper method on diagnosis of diabetic foot wound infection. Methods: Eighteen patients with diabetic foot ulcer conforming to the study criteria were hospitalized in Liyuan Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from July 2014 to July 2015. Diabetic foot ulcer wounds were classified according to the University of Texas diabetic foot classification (hereinafter referred to as Texas grade) system, and general condition of patients with wounds in different Texas grade was compared. Exudate and tissue of wounds were obtained, and filter paper method and biopsy method were adopted to detect the bacteria of wounds of patients respectively. Filter paper method was regarded as the evaluation method, and biopsy method was regarded as the control method. The relevance, difference, and consistency of the detection results of two methods were tested. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of filter paper method in bacteria detection were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn based on the specificity and sensitivity of filter paper method in bacteria detection of 18 patients to predict the detection effect of the method. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance and Fisher's exact test. In patients tested positive for bacteria by biopsy method, the correlation between bacteria number detected by biopsy method and that by filter paper method was analyzed with Pearson correlation analysis. Results: (1) There were no statistically significant differences among patients with wounds in Texas grade 1, 2, and 3 in age, duration of diabetes, duration of wound, wound area, ankle brachial index, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar, blood platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, aspartate aminotransferase, serum creatinine, and urea nitrogen (with F values from 0.029 to 2.916, P values above 0.05), while there were statistically significant differences among patients with wounds in Texas grade 1, 2, and 3 in white blood cell count and alanine aminotransferase (with F values 4.688 and 6.833 respectively, P <0.05 or P <0.01). (2) According to the results of biopsy method, 6 patients were tested negative for bacteria, and 12 patients were tested positive for bacteria, among which 10 patients were with bacterial number above 1×10(5)/g, and 2 patients with bacterial number below 1×10(5)/g. According to the results of filter paper method, 8 patients were tested negative for bacteria, and 10 patients were tested positive for bacteria, among which 7 patients were with bacterial number above 1×10(5)/g, and 3 patients with bacterial number below 1×10(5)/g. There were 7 patients tested positive for bacteria both by biopsy method and filter paper method, 8 patients tested negative for bacteria both by biopsy method and filter paper method, and 3 patients tested positive for bacteria by biopsy method but negative by filter paper method. Patients tested negative for bacteria by biopsy method did not tested positive for bacteria by filter paper method. There was directional association between the detection results of two methods ( P =0.004), i. e. if result of biopsy method was positive, result of filter paper method could also be positive. There was no obvious difference in the detection results of two methods ( P =0.250). The consistency between the detection results of two methods was ordinary (Kappa=0.68, P =0.002). (3) The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of filter paper method in bacteria detection were 70%, 100%, 1.00, 0.73, and 83.3%, respectively. Total area under ROC curve of bacteria detection by filter paper method in 18 patients was 0.919 (with 95% confidence interval 0-1.000, P =0.030). (4) There were 13 strains of bacteria detected by biopsy method, with 5 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, 5 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 1 strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 1 strain of Streptococcus bovis, and 1 strain of bird Enterococcus . There were 11 strains of bacteria detected by filter paper method, with 5 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, 3 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 1 strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 1 strain of Streptococcus bovis, and 1 strain of bird Enterococcus . Except for Staphylococcus aureus, the sensitivity and specificity of filter paper method in the detection of the other 4 bacteria were all 100%. The consistency between filter paper method and biopsy method in detecting Acinetobacter baumannii was good (Kappa=1.00, P <0.01), while that in detecting Staphylococcus aureus was ordinary (Kappa=0.68, P <0.05). (5) There was no obvious correlation between the bacteria number of wounds detected by filter paper method and that by biopsy method ( r =0.257, P =0.419). There was obvious correlation between the bacteria numbers detected by two methods in wounds with Texas grade 1 and 2 (with r values as 0.999, P values as 0.001). There was no obvious correlation between the bacteria numbers detected by two methods in wounds with Texas grade 3 ( r =-0.053, P =0.947). Conclusions: The detection result of filter paper method is in accordance with that of biopsy method in the determination of bacterial infection, and it is of great importance in the diagnosis of local infection of diabetic foot wound.

- Abstract
With the decrease of forest timber resources, the recycling of waste paper has received increasing attention. However, the stickies produced in the process of waste paper recycling may negatively affect the production of recycled paper. The biological decomposition of stickies, which has the advantages of high efficiency, high specificity and pollution-free, is achieved mainly through the enzymatic cleavage of the ester bond in the stickies components to prevent flocculation. Cutinase is a serine esterase that can degrade some components of the stickies. Previous research indicated that the anchor peptide tachystatin A2 (TA2) is able to bind polyurethane. In this study, the cutinase HiC derived from Humicola insolens was used to construct a fusion protein HiC-TA2 by megaprimer PCR of the whole plasmid (MEGAWHOP). The enzymatic properties and the degradation efficiency of the fusion protein on poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA), a model substrate of stickies component, were determined. The results showed that the degradation efficiency, the size decrease of PEA particle, and the amount of ethanol produced by HiC-TA2 were 1.5 times, 6.8 times, and 1.4 times of that by HiC, respectively. These results demonstrated that TA2 improved the degradation efficiency of HiC on PEA. This study provides a useful reference for biological decomposition of stickies produced in the process of recycled paper production.

- Abstract
The pulp and paper industry is an important industry that is closely related to national socioeconomic development. To understand the historical trends of resource consumption and environmental pollution, we conducted an economy-wide material flow analysis and quantitatively evaluated the dynamic characteristics of input-output balances, material metabolism intensity, and resource recycling rate of China's pulp and paper industry, from 2005 to 2017. The results indicate downward trends in the material inputs and outputs of China's pulp and paper industry from 2005 to 2017, with water contributing over 90% of the totals. In recent years, with the continuous optimization of the raw material structure of the paper industry, the proportion of non-wood pulping has dropped from 42% to 13% and has been replaced by mainly waste paper pulping and wood pulping. Resource consumption can still be greatly reduced. In 2017, the amount of direct material input per ton of paper and paperboard had decreased by 67% from 2005 to 26 t. The consumption of fresh water per ton of paper and paperboard dropped by approximately 69% over the study period, whereas the water recycling rate increased significantly, reaching 77% in 2017. At present, the production of paper and paperboard is increasingly dependent on the input of domestic waste paper and imported wood, the proportions of which have increased from 21% and 9% in 2005 to 60% and 31% in 2017, respectively. However, the rate of domestic waste paper recycling is relatively low, and measures such as strengthening the construction of the recycling system and educating the residents about recycling are needed to alleviate the shortage of raw materials caused by restrictions on waste paper imports.

- Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based chips have many advantages such as ease of integration, miniaturization, and automation; high throughput; low production cost; easy portability; easy storage and transportation, environmental friendliness, and feasibility of instantaneous detection. These chips are widely used in clinical diagnosis, food quality control, and immunoassays. With the continuous development of microfluidic paper microarrays in recent years, they have also received great attention for environmental contaminant analysis and detection, and research in this field has been intensive, showing excellent prospects for application. This review summarizes the latest research progress in environmental analysis from the perspective of the application of microfluidic paper-based chips, as well as future development trends and challenges. More than 150 papers from the Science Citation Index (SCI) and Chinese core journals are cited in this paper. This review includes the advantages of microfluidic paper-based chips for environmental analysis and detection; the introduction of paper chip fabrication methods, including wax printing, photolithography, dicing, plasma, laser, and inkjet etching; and the introduction of advanced analytical methods based on paper chips, such as electrochemical analysis, fluorescence analysis, colorimetric analysis, surface-enhanced Raman analysis, and integrated sensing methods. The future development trends and prospects of environmental analysis based on microfluidic paper-based chips are also reviewed. Through a rich and comprehensive review of recent related research, it is shown that although microfluidic paper-based chip technology has only been developed for little more than a decade since its introduction, this technology has seen rapid development in environmental analysis-related research and has yielded rich results. The hydrophilic and porous nature of cellulose in paper as a chip substrate allows the passive transport of liquids without an external power source. The diversity of available microfluidic paper-based chip fabrication and analysis methods allows flexible selection and matching according to different environmental conditions and detection requirements, so that the best detection results can be obtained. Moreover, microfluidic paper chips as detection platforms show good biocompatibility in the analysis and detection of environmental pollutants, enabling the analysis of more types of pollutants. The used paper is biodegradable and can be directly disposed of as ordinary garbage after appropriate degradation treatment; thus it is environmentally friendly and does not impact the health of the operators. In addition, the low production cost and simple operation of the paper chip design study make it possible to fabricate low-cost, portable, and practical analytical equipment, which is important for rapid testing of the conventional environment. However, there are some inherent disadvantages: the mechanical strength of the paper is not sufficiently high to resist deformation; degree of fluid control is difficult to achieve the desired effect, and the sample flow may be lost due to leakage; multiple contaminants may interfere with one another when analyzed in parallel; there are difficulties in commercial mass production. However, these problems also point to the direction for the research and development of microfluidic paper-based chips in the field of environmental testing. With continuous advances in manufacturing and analysis technologies, microfluidic paper-based chips are expected to play a more prominent role in future environmental analysis.

- Abstract
Short-chain chlorinated paraffins are persistent organic pollutants, and chlorinated paraffins were widely used as sizing agent in the paper industry. In order to investigate the levels and risk assessment of short-chain and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins in the paper mill plant, the surface soil and soil of different depths were collected.The concentrations, congener group profiles of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) and medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in soil were determined by two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with electron capture-negative ion mass spectrometry. The SCCPs and MCCPs concentrations were 42-3853 ng·g
-1 and 34-2091 ng·g-1 . The chlorine contents were 59.9%-61.9% and 48.7%-52.8%. The concentrations of SCCPs and MCCPs were different in the soil collected in different sampling site. The concentration of SCCPs and MCCPs were relatively higher in soil of sewage treatment area and coating area. The CP levels in soil from the paper mill plant were at a high level compared with those in other regions. C10 Cl6-7 and C14-15 Cl5 were the main congener groups in most soil samples. The results of principal component analysis showed that the CP52 commercial products may be sources of SCCPs and MCCPs in the soil. The risk quotient (RQ) for SCCPs and MCCPs were assessed in soil of paper mill plant. The results showed that the RQ values for SCCPs in soil ranged from 0.01 to 0.73 which are the medium risk, and the RQ values for MCCPs in soil ranged from 0 to 0.07, which are the low risk. The human exposure values of children and adults are lower than TDI[10 μg·(kg·d)-1 ] in both cases. The health risks caused by non-dietary exposure under paper mill area are low.- Published

- Abstract
To evaluate the reduction potential of industrial water pollutant emissions and to study the application of technology simulation in pollutant control and environment management, an Industrial Reduction Potential Analysis and Environment Management (IRPAEM) model was developed based on coupling of "material-process-technology-product". The model integrated bottom-up modeling and scenario analysis method, and was applied to China's paper industry. Results showed that under CM scenario, the reduction potentials of waster water, COD and ammonia nitrogen would reach 7 x 10(8) t, 39 x 10(4) t and 0.3 x 10(4) t, respectively in 2015, 13.8 x 10(8) t, 56 x 10(4) t and 0.5 x 10(4) t, respectively in 2020. Strengthening the end-treatment would still be the key method to reduce emissions during 2010-2020, while the reduction effect of structure adjustment would be more obvious during 2015-2020. Pollution production could basically reach the domestic or international advanced level of clean production in 2015 and 2020; the index of wastewater and ammonia nitrogen would basically meet the emission standards in 2015 and 2020 while COD would not.

- Abstract
Adsorption behavior of bisphenol A (BPA) and dibutyl phthalate (DnBP) from aqueous solution onto newsprint was investigated through batch adsorption experiments. Adsorption isothermal data was interpreted by the Freundlich, Langmuir, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R), Flory-Huggins (F-H), BET and Temkin equations. In order to determine the best fit isotherm, three error analysis methods were used to evaluate the data: correlation coefficient (R2), residual root mean square error (RMSE) and chi-square test (chi2 test). The results show that the Freundlich and Temkin equations provide the best models for BPA and DnBP biosorption with high R2 (R2 > 0.95, p < 0.01) and low values of RMSE and chi2 (RMSE < 0.05, chi2 < 0.02). The adsorption capacity increases with the hydrophobicity of adsorbate. The mean free energy of adsorption process is calculated by D-R isotherm as 1.484 and 1.609 kJ/mol while the Gibbs free energy calculated by F-H isotherm is -6.559 and -7.021 kJ/mol for BPA and DnBP, respectively. From D-R and F-H models, it is inferred that biosorption of BPA and DnBP by newsprint might be physical adsorption and a spontaneous process. As a comparison, it is indicated these Kf values in Freundlich equation (0.147 and 0.502 mg(1-n) x L(n) x g(-1) for BPA and DnBP, respectively), considered as a measure of the adsorption capacity, are higher than those obtained in the adsorption of same adsorbate by natural organic adsorbents, such as sediment. This suggests the presence of paper will retard BPA and DnBP transport and bioavalability in landfills.

- Abstract
In this paper, one hundred percent of condensed sulfate paper pulp waste liquid was used as the raw material of adhesive, and the activation of its lignin as well as the improving effects of phenol formaldehyde resin and polyfunctional aqueous polymer isocyanate (PAPI) were studied. The results showed that adding formaldehyde to the waste liquid could increase the reactivity of contained lignin, and adding 30% phenol formaldehyde resin or 20% PAPI could make the waste liquid in place of pure phenol formaldehyde resin for producing class I plywood. Furthermore, the cost could be reduced by 55.5% and 49.0%, respectively, in comparing with pure phenol formaldehyde resin. This approach fully used the organic resources in paper pulp waste liquid, reduced environment pollution at the same time, and had unexceptionable economic, social and ecological benefits. The feasibility of preparing adhesives from paper pulp waste liquid was also analyzed by infrared spectrum.

- Abstract
The nitrate removal from groundwater was studied in laboratory columns packed with unprocessed paper as the sole substrate for microbial population. The results showed that the reactor with paper as carbon source started up fast, and temperature and hydraulic retention time (HRT) markedly affected the denitrification process. The denitrification rate at 25 degrees C was approximately 1.7 times higher than that at 14 degrees C. When the initial concentration was 45.2 mg x L(-1), 99.6% of nitrate (nitrite was not detected) could be removed after 8.6 h at 25 +/- 1 degrees C. The nitrogen removal rate was only 50% when HRT was 7.2 h. pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) had little effect on denitrification, and the nitrogen removal rate did not changed when pH value ranged between 6.0-9.0 and DO ranged between 0-6 mg x L(-1). Biofilm was formed on the paper and consumed the paper during the whole process. Using the combined paper reactor and activated carbon adsorption at 25 +/- 1 degrees C and HRT 9.0 h, the nitrate could be completely removed if its initial concentration was not higher than 33.9 mgN x L(-1) and the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the effluent was less than 11 mg x L(-1).

- Abstract
Paper chromatography (PC) is a highly flexible, fast, and efficient separation method. In this study, a chromatographic paper with a chiral separation function was investigated and a paper chromatographic method for chiral separation was developed. Single-factor experiments and orthogonal tests were used to determine the optimal oxidation conditions for filter paper. The optimal conditions were that sodium periodate 4% (mass percentage), pH 2 buffer solution, reaction temperature 45℃, and reaction time 4 h. Under the optimal conditions, the aldehyde group content of a dialdehyde-based filter paper was 57.93% (amount of substance percentage). A paper-based chiral separation material was synthesized by a microwave-assisted Schiff-base reaction of the oxidized filter paper with L-glutamic acid. The developing solvent for separating racemic tartaric acid using this chiral filter paper consisted of 100 mL of n -butanol, 50 mL of 50%(v/v) acetic acid, and 0.1000 g of bromophenol blue. The rate of flow ( R
f ) values of L-tartaric acid and D-tartaric acid were 0.52 and 0.40, respectively. This method does not require large-scale equipment to perform the chiral separation and it is therefore suitable for general teaching, research, and industrial applications.- Published

- Abstract
The paper-based analytical device (PAD) was applied in this study to analyze the antioxidant activity of Danhong injection and its intermediates. First polycaprolactone was printed on the surface of a filter paper with a 3D printing device. The modified filter paper was then prepared using polycaprolactone and solid paraffin as the modifiers. The PAD was prepared after adding DPPH ethanol solution to the modified filter paper. Ascorbic acid solutions with different concentrations were used as the positive drug on PAD. After the occurrence of color reactions, the PAD was dried, and the data of color were collected by a cell phone. The color component G and grayscale were selected as the potential indices for measurement according to the values of determination coefficients, detection limits, and effective number of digits. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of Danhong injection and the concentrate of aqueous extract were realized with the PAD. Because no significant differences were observed between the results obtained using the two potential indices, the average values of these two were used for analysis, and the antioxidant activity of Danhong injection and the concentrate of aqueous extract was equivalent to ascorbic acid solutions of 3.7, 46 g·L⁻¹, respectively. The PAD method presented in this work can be a simple method to determine biological activities of Chinese medicines and their intermediates., Competing Interests: The authors of this article and the planning committee members and staff have no relevant financial relationships with commercial interests to disclose., (Copyright© by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.)

- Abstract
Model organism C. elegans was introduced into the toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) procedure to determine the toxification of acid and alkalescent industry liquid wastes from paper mill via analyzing the life span, days corresponding to 50% lethal, reproductive rate, reproductive capacity and locomotion behaviors in worms. Our data indicate that the toxic influence order of different samples on life span was: 2nd > 4th > 1st > 3rd, the toxic influence order of different samples on generation time was: 2nd > 1st > 3rd approximately 4th, the toxic influence order of different samples on brood size and head thrashes was similar: 1st approximately 2nd > 3rd approximately 4th, the toxic influence order of different samples on body bends was: 1st approximately 2nd > 3rd > 4th, and the 2nd sample always had more significantly toxic effects on different phenotypes. Thus, the toxicity of acid industry liquid waste from the paper mill relatively had the most severe multiple effects, whereas the toxicity of alkalescent industry liquid and grain-like wastes only exhibited limited effects.

- Abstract
The metagenomic DNA of pulp sediments from paper mill effluent was extracted and purified. The 16S rDNA was amplified using the purified metagenomic DNA as template and a 16S rDNA library was prepared. Sequence analysis of 16S rDNA clones showed that diverse of uncultured bacteria inhabit in this environment, which can be classified into 4 clusters as Spirochaetes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. A metagenomic library containing 10000 clones was constructed into cosmid vector, and the capacity of inserted DNA of which was 3.53 x 10(8) bp. Functional screening of the library resulted in isolation of two independent clones expressing endoglucanase activity, three independent clones expressing exoglucanase activity and two independent clones expressing beta-glucosidase activity. One clone expressing strongest enzyme activity from each activity category was chosen to be further analyzed. Three novel cellulase genes designated as umcel5L, umcel5M and umbgl3D were identified by subcloning, sequencing and expression. The umcel5L encodes an endoglucanase belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 5, which is most related to an endoglucanase from Bradyrhizobium japonicum at 43% identity and 59% similarity. The umcel5M encodes a cellodextrinase belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 5, which is most similar to a cellodextrinase from Fibrobacter succinogenes at 48% identity and 69% similarity. The umbgl3D encodes a putative beta-glucosidase belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 3, which shares highest homology with a beta-glucosidase from Thermotoga maritima at 46% identity and 61% similarity. It is the first time to reveal the bacterial diversity of pulp sediments from paper mill effluent and clone novel cellulase genes from the bacteria by culture-independent method.

- Abstract
Concerns have been raised about the reporting quality in nutritional epidemiology. Therefore, strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology-nutritional epidemiology (STROBE-nut) has been proposed by extending the STROBE statement to include additional recommendations on issues related to nutritional epidemiology and dietary assessment, aiming to provide more specific guidelines on how to report observational research in the field. This paper presents a brief introduction to STROBE-nut and also an explanation of the key points in the additional items, with an example illustrating the application of the checklist.

- Abstract
The Chinese calligraphy is a unique art of traditional Chinese culture. The core of color preference for Chinese calligraphy is figural preference, which is a special kind of color combination preference. Currently, the exhibition of calligraphy is always lack of scientific basis in the aspect of color science. In this research, the influence of light sources and paper color on the preference of traditional calligraphy was analyzed based on subjective and objective experiments. The relative spectral power distribution of 5 typical light sources (correlated color temperature: 2 500, 3 500, 4 500, 5 500 and 6 500 K) and spectral reflectance of 5 typical Chinese rice papers (white, orange, light white, red, yellow-white) were firstly measured and then transformed into CIEXYZ and CIECAM02 color space, respectively. Subsequently, the correlation between those colors attributes and 1 000 series of psychophysical experiment data from 40 observers on calligraphy exhibiting preference was analyzed. At last, the influence factors of the correlation were discussed form a multiple statistical point of view, such as normal distribution, correlation analysis and multiple regression. The experimental results indicated that the exhibiting preference of Chinese calligraphy is obviously different with that of ordinary color preference cases, for it is mainly affected by the attributes of lighting sources instead of the contrast of hue and lightness. The authors believe that the finding of the research will provided effective support for the development of calligraphy exhibiting in near future for museums and gallaries.

- Abstract
Objective: To establish a new qualitative and quantitative ultraperformance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detector / photodiode array detector with series double-detector method for the determination of eleven fluorescent whitening agents in paper food packaging materials., Methods: The sample was extracted with 40%acetonitrile water solution, separated by Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C_(18)column( 1. 7μm, 2. 1 mm × 100 mm) and eluted gradient. The excitation wavelength and emission wavelength of fluorescence detector( FLD) were 350 nm and 430 nm, and the wavelength of photodiode array detector( PDA) was 350 nm. The detectors were used in series to achieve qualitative and quantitative detection., Results: In the substrates of paper cups, paper bowls, paper trays and paper boxes, those eleven fluorescent whitening agents were separated properly. For both detectors, in the linear range of 25- 1000 ng / m L, the correlation coefficient was greater than 0. 99, and the recoveries of spiked recoveries were between 82. 2%- 104. 1% with the RSD less than 10%( n = 6). The detection limits ofthose eleven fluorescent whitening agents were 0. 20- 0. 28 mg / kg for FLD and 1. 4- 2. 5mg / kg for PDA., Conclusion: The eleven fluorescent whitening agents could be separated properly with complete separation, good shapes and high recovery rate. This method is easy to operate also. Thus it's an effective method to detect the fluorescent whitening agents in paper food packaging materials.

- Abstract
In this paper, a novel paper-based Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate with high sensitivity, good uniformity and popular price is developed via liquid/liquid interface self-assembly technique. Three pigment, rhodamine B, sunset yellow and chrysoidine were detected through paper-based SERS substrates using a portable Raman spectrometer. The structures of the three pigments were investigated and vibrational modes of characteristic peaks of three pigments were assigned. SERS spectra of rhodamine B, sunset yellow and chrysoidine in aqueous solution with different concentrations were detected respectively. Rhodamine B, sunset yellow and chrysoidine in drinks were also detected in drinks without any pretreatment. Within a certain range of concentrations, it meets certain function. For rhodamine B and sunset yellow, the relationship between concentration and Raman peak intensity is on an index curve, while for chrysoidine, the relationship is linear. In addition, high recoveries are achieved for detecting rhodamine B, sunset yellow and chrysoidine in drinks, which indicated our method is suited for semi-quantitative analysis for the concentration of rhodamine B, sunset yellow and chrysoidine in drinks. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy provides an easy approach to fast and efficient detection for multiple pigments in drinks and can be used for quality control and market monitoring of drinks.
