In order to efficiently degrade organic pollutants in the water environment, poly（heptazine） structured K intercalated carbon nitride （CN-K） was prepared using KCl and NH4Cl as structural inducers. The prepared CN-K was characterized by transmission electron microscopy（TEM）, X-ray diffraction（XRD）and so on. The prepared CN-K can be applied as an efficient photocatalyst for the visible-light photocatalytic degradation of endocrine disruptor bisphenol A （BPA）. The CN-K possessed 4 times enhancement photocatalytic performance than bulk g-C3N4, where the degradation ratio of BPA were 99.0% under light irradiation for 20 min. Owing to the K+ uniformly distributed in CN-K, crystalline structure endows the ordered electronic transmission channels in CN-K, thus enhanced the efficiency of photo induced charge carriers separation and migration, as well as visible light capture. In addition, this heterogeneous catalyst can be recycled at least five times and the recovered CN-K after the final cycle displayed unchanged photocatalytic degradation efficiency, demonstrating its excellent stability and outstanding reusability. This study highlighted opportunities for the recycling treatment of wastewater. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The degradation efficiency of bisphenol A (BPA) in aqueous solution was investigated in UV 254 nm combined with potassium ferrate [ UV/Fe(VI) ] process・ The main active components for BPA oxidation were identified, and the possible degradation pathways of BPA were also proposed・ The results showed that the synergistic degradation of BPA in UV/Fe(VI) process followed the pseudo second-order kinetics, and its degradation rate was enhanced by 98. 94% and 67. 17% compared with single UV and Fe(VI), respectively・ The removal rate of BPA reached 91 ・ 46% when the BPA concentration was 220 |jimol/L, Fe(VI) concentration was 50 |jimol/L, the system temperature was 25 °C and pH 6. creasing temperature and pH, the presence of humic acid and CO| can enhance the degradation efficiency. The dominated reactive oxidation species in UV/Fe(VI) system were Fe(V), Fe(IV), superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicaL The degradation of BPA mainly underwent the demethylation, hydroxylation and ring opening reactions in UV/Fe(VI) system.

To investigate the pollution caused by microplastics (MPs) in agricultural systems and their possible mechanisms of action, the distribution characteristics of MPs in the surface soils of 56 sites in paddy fields of three towns in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, China, were determined. Fourteen sites were randomly selected to collect rice grains after harvest. The effect of MPs on the migration of bisphenol A (BPA) and cadmium (Cd) from soil to rice grains were analyzed. Four forms of aging MPs were detected in soils：films, particles, fragments, and fibers. The abundance of MPs in the three towns was similar, ranging from 48 items·kg-1 to 1 771 items·kg-1 ; the main components were polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), accounting for 46.77% and 24.19%, respectively, and the content of polycarbonate (PC) was significantly lower than that of ethylene terephthalate (PET) (2.51 μg·kg-1 and 113.35 μg·kg-1, respectively) . BPA in depolymerized soils showed a more significant positive correlation with the content of BPA in rice grains than in un-depolymerized soils (P<0.01), indicating a potential risk of secondary release of BPA during the aging of MPs in the environment. In addition, the Cd content in soils also exhibited a significant positive correlation (P<0.001) with the abundance of MPs, promoting the transformation of Cd from soils to rice grains. This study contributes to the overall and objective evaluation of the pollution and health risks posed by MPs in agricultural systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bisphenol A (BPA) as an organic compound widely existing in the environment can interfere with the normal metabolism of the body and participate in the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases. High dose BPA exposure has an acute toxic effect on the reproductive system. Long-term exposure to BPA has more significant damage to the reproductive system, and can even produce intergenerational effects, affecting the growth and development of offspring. BPA damages female reproductive function and reduces female fertility through a variety of mechanisms. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop related drugs to alleviate this adverse reaction. This paper reviews the effects of BPA on female reproductive system, and introduces the research progress of antioxidants, probiotics, vitamins and traditional Chinese medicine on alleviating the effects of BPA on reproductive system. However, the clinical application of related drugs still needs the support of evidence-based medical evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To investigate the optimal preparation method of bisphenol A (BPA) -induced diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) rat models, and to clarify the attributes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes. Methods Eighteen clean female SD rats aged 3 and 6 months with regular estrous cycle were selected and were randomly divided into the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose BPA groups. The rats in the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose BPA groups were given 50，100，and 200 mg/kg BPA mixed suspension orally, once a day until they showed unregular estrous cycles. The general performance and vaginal smear were observed everyday. The estrous cycle of rats was observed by vaginal smear; the abdominal aortic blood of rats was collected, and serum was separated. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and inhibin-B (INHB) were detected by ELISA. We took bilateral ovaries, observed the morphology of ovarian tissues, and calculated the proportion of follicles at all levels and the ovarian index. We chose the model preparation method used in the group which had the most significant change of the indexes as the best method. The 18 successful model rats were randomly divided into the control group, Yougui pill group, and Yangjingzhongyu decoction group, with 6 in each. The model rats in the control group， Yougui pill group and Yangjingzhongyu decoction group were given distilled water, Yougui pill for treatment of kidny-yang deficiency, and Yangjingzhongyu decoction for kidny-yin deficiency by 1 mL/100 g body weight, for 2 consecutive weeks， respectively. The changes of estrous cycle, symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency, ovarian tissue morphology, ovarian index, proportion of follicles at all levels, serum hormone, INHB and AMH levels were compared between these two groups. Results All model rats in the BPA groups aged 3 and 6 months had reduced activity and liked to crouch and bunch. The disturbance time of estrous cycles of model rats aged 3 month in the medium-dose BPA group was significant shorter as compared with that of the other groups, and they showed decreased levels of AMH and primordial follicles and increased atretic follicles. Therefore, the preparation method in the 3-month-old rat model of the medium-dose BPA group was the best method. One rat in the Yangjingzhongyu decoction group and 5 rats in Yougui pill group resumed regular estrous cycle while all rats in the control group continued to be in disorder. The number of regular estrus cycle recovery in the Yougui pill group （5）was higher than that in the control group（0）and Yangjingzhongyu decoction group (1), while the symptom of kidneyyang deficiency improved more significantly. The ovaries of rats in the control group were pale, small and hard, while those of the Yougui pill group were bigger and ruddy. The ovaries of Yougui pill group had good elasticity and multiple growth follicles on the surface. There were fewer follicles on the ovarian surface and poor elasticity in the rats of Yangjingzhongyu decoction group. Compared with the other two groups, the Yougui pill group had higher proportion of primordium follicle, lower atresia follicle, and higher AMH level (all P<0. 05). Conclusions The DOR animal models can be successfully prepared by intragastric administration of 100 mg/kg BPA in 3-month clean SD rats. The attribute of TCM syndrome of the rat models is kidney-yang deficiency by means of syndrome differentiation through formula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
