Using seawater for toilet flushing may introduce high levels of bromide and iodide into a city's sewage treatment works, result in the formation brominated iodinated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during chlorination to disinfect effluents. In previous study, authors' group has detected presence many DBPs identified five new aromatic chlorinated saline The effluents pose adverse implications marine ecology. this besides detection identification another seven halogenated effluent, their...
Chlorine is widely used for disinfecting public swimming pool water. The disinfectant chlorine, protecting swimmers from pathogenic infection in swimming, may be responsible some adverse effects on swimmers' skin and health. In this study, numerous new halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) chlorinated water were detected with a powerful precursor ion scan method using electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, or without preseparation ultra performance liquid...
Utilizing seawater for toilet flushing is an effective way to conserve freshwater in coastal cities. During chlorination disinfecting saline wastewater effluents, the high levels of bromide from are oxidized hypobromous acid which may then react with effluent organics form brominated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). In this research, by applying a new precursor ion scan method, we detected and identified group halopyrroles chlorinated effluent, including tetrabromopyrrole,...
Due to the near-field coupling effect, non-close-packed nanoparticle (NP) assemblies with tunable interparticle distance (d) attract great attention and show huge potential applications in various functional devices, e.g., organic nano-floating-gate memory (NFGM) devices. Unfortunately, fabrication of device-scale 2D NPs material still remains a challenge, limiting its practical applications. Here, facile yet robust "rapid liquid-liquid interface assembly" strategy is reported generate AuNP...
The haloacetonitriles (HANs) is an emerging class of nitrogenous-disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) present in disinfected drinking, recycled, processed wastewaters, and reuse waters. HANs were identified as primary forcing agents that accounted for DBP-associated toxicity. We evaluated the toxic characteristics iodoacetonitrile (IAN), bromoacetonitrile (BAN), dibromoacetonitrile (DBAN), bromochloroacetonitrile (BCAN), tribromoacetonitrile (TBAN), chloroacetonitrile (CAN), dichloroacetonitrile...
In recent years, dozens of halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) with cyclic structures were identified and detected in drinking water globally. Previous vivo toxicity studies have shown that a few new DBPs possessed higher developmental growth inhibition rate than common aliphatic DBPs; however, vitro proved the latter exhibited cytotoxicity genotoxicity former. Thus, to provide more comprehensive comparison from different endpoints, 11 groups nine evaluated for their comparative using...
Recently, a study found that aromatic DBP fractions dominate the overall toxicity of chlorinated drinking water. However, key drivers have not been reported via comprehensive evaluation based on formation aliphatic and DBPs in In this study, occurrence 37 19 samples with different water characteristics collected Chinese megacity was explored. According to individual concentrations cytotoxicity potencies as well "TIC-Tox" method, haloacetonitriles halonitrophenols were be among measured DBPs,...
Adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus (DG) is impaired during Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. Curcumin has been reported to reduce cell apoptosis and stimulate neurogenesis. This study aimed investigate influence of curcumin on adult AD mice its potential mechanism. Two-month-old male C57BL/6J were injected with soluble β-amyloid (Aβ1-42) using lateral ventricle stereolocalization establish models. An immunofluorescence assay, including bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), doublecortin (DCX),...
Toilet flushing with seawater results in saline wastewater, which may contain approximately 33–50% seawater. Halogenated disinfection byproducts (DBPs), especially brominated and iodinated DBPs, have recently been found chlorinated wastewater effluents. With the occurrence of adverse effects effluents to marine ecology uncertain. By evaluating developmental polychaete Platynereis dumerilii directly exposed saline/freshwater effluents, we surprisingly that were less toxic than a freshwater...
Extracellular vesicles released by probiotics have been demonstrated to effectively alleviate intestinal inflammation, yet the precise underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this research, for first time, Lactobacillus plantarum UJS001 (LP-UJS) was isolated from fermented sauerkraut in Zhenjiang, China. Thereafter, therapeutic effect of LP-UJS-derived extracellular (LP-UJS-EVs) on dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice analyzed elucidate immune mechanisms. According...
