To investigate the electrocatalytic degradation effect of anthracene in coking wastewater, Ti/PbO2, Ti/PANI/PbO2 and Ti/PANI/PbO2-Ce electrodes were prepared by electrodeposition, and the electrodes were subjected to scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction characterization, electrochemical performance test, hydroxyl radical (·OH) production capacity test and accelerated lifetime test.The results showed that the Ti/PANI/PbO2-Ce electrode modified with polyaniline (PANI) and cerium (Ce) had better surface morphology and higher catalytic activity, and could produce more ·OH with an oxygen precipitation potential of 1.83 V and an accelerated lifetime of 720 min.The Ti/PANI/PbO2-Ce electrode was used for the degradation of anthracene in coking wastewater, and the effects of the main factors on the degradation effect were investigated, and the optimal degradation conditions for anthracene were obtained as voltage 14 V, plate spacing of 1.0 cm, electrolyte concentration of 0.35 mol/L, reaction time of 120 min, pH value of 10.The Ti/PANI/PbO2-Ce electrode showed good electrocatalytic performance.

AIM: To explore a more convenient and accurate method for evaluating the anterior chamber angle width based on the Van Herick method.METHODS:A total of 58 patients(69 eyes)with age-related cataract who visited our hospital between January and December 2021 were included. They were divided into the chamber angle width ≥1/2 corneal thickness(CT)group(44 eyes of 37 cases)and 0.05), while the differences of chamber angle degrees of other quadrants were all statistically significant(P

Small extracellular vesicle (sEV) is an emerging source of potential biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in sEV is not well understood. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of sEV-derived miRNAs in AD using small RNA sequencing and coexpression network analysis. We examined a total of 158 samples, including 48 from AD patients, 48 from patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 62 from healthy controls. We identified an miRNA network module (M1) that was strongly linked to neural function and showed the strongest association with AD diagnosis and cognitive impairment. The expression of miRNAs in the module was decreased in both AD and MCI patients compared to controls. Conservation analysis revealed that M1 was highly preserved in the healthy control group but dysfunctional in the AD and MCI groups, suggesting that changes in the expression of miRNAs in this module may be an early response to cognitive decline prior to the appearance of AD pathology. We further validated the expression levels of the hub miRNAs in M1 in an independent population. The functional enrichment analysis showed that 4 hub miRNAs might interact with a GDF11-centered network and play a critical role in the neuropathology of AD. In summary, our study provides new insights into the role of sEV-derived miRNAs in AD and suggests that M1 miRNAs may serve as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and monitoring of AD.

General anesthesia and increasing age are two main risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Effective agents for the prevention or treatment of POCD are urgently needed. L-655,708, an inverse agonist of α5 subunit-containing γ-aminobutyric acid subtype A (α5GABAA) receptors, can prevent anesthesia-induced memory deficits in young animals. However, there is a lack of evidence of its efficacy in old animals.

Residual antibiotics can enter soil and water bodies through organic fertilizers with food safety risk via plants absorption, while how do plant growth and quinolone accumulation respond to residual antibiotics levels in soil or water is not clear. Hydroponic experiment in greenhouse was conducted with floating seedlings of tobacco as model plant to investigate the responses of quinolone antibiotics accumulation and plant growth to different levels of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and norfloxacin (NOR). Results showed that CIP and NOR inhibited the growth of tobacco seedlings. The plant height, stem circumference, maximum leaf width, and maximum leaf area of tobacco seedlings were significantly decreased. So as to the plant biomass of leaves, stems, and roots. Accumulation of CIP in the tobacco seedlings in the T3 was 1.1 times that of the tobacco seedlings in the T1, NOR in the T4 was 1.2 times that of the tobacco seedlings in the T1. And the higher the concentration, the more significant the inhibitory effect. Both antibiotics can be absorbed and accumulated by tobacco seedlings. Additionally, the inhibitory effect of CIP was greater than that of NOR.

In order to improve the reliability of model design,a certain type of excavator driving axle housing is regarded as the research object,the reliability interference principle is used to establish a reliable model of drive axle housing,the axle housing model size parameters are regarded as random variables,the stress and strain change rule and parameters sensitivity variation of axle housing model are studied.
