Abstract
The activation of peracetic acid (PAA) by activated carbon (AC) is a promising approach for reducing micropollutants in groundwater. However, to harness the PAA/AC system's potential and achieve sustainable and low-impact groundwater remediation, it is crucial to quantify the individual contributions of active species. In this study, we developed a combined degradation kinetic and adsorption mass transfer model to elucidate the roles of free radicals, electron transfer processes (ETP), and adsorption on the degradation of antibiotics by PAA in groundwater. Our findings reveal that ETP predominantly facilitated the activation of PAA by modified activated carbon (AC600), contributing to ∼61% of the overall degradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The carbonyl group (CO) on the surface of AC600 was identified as a probable site for the ETP. Free radicals contributed to ∼39% of the degradation, while adsorption was negligible. Thermodynamic and activation energy analyses indicate that the degradation of SMX within the PAA/AC600 system requires a relatively low energy input (27.66 kJ/mol), which is within the lower range of various heterogeneous Fenton-like reactions, thus making it easily achievable. These novel insights enhance our understanding of the AC600-mediated PAA activation mechanism and lay the groundwork for developing efficient and sustainable technologies for mitigating groundwater pollution. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: The antibiotics in groundwater raises alarming environmental concerns. As groundwater serves as a primary source of drinking water for nearly half the global population, the development of eco-friendly technologies for antibiotic-contaminated groundwater remediation becomes imperative. The innovative PAA/AC600 system demonstrates significant efficacy in degrading micropollutants, particularly sulfonamide antibiotics. By integrating degradation kinetics and adsorption mass transfer models, this study sheds light on the intricate mechanisms involved, emphasizing the potential of carbon materials as sustainable tools in the ongoing battle for clean and safe groundwater.

Abstract
Mycelial pellets formed by Penicillium thomii ZJJ were applied as efficient biosorbents for the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are a type of ubiquitous harmful hydrophobic pollutants. The live mycelial pellets were able to remove 93.48 % of pyrene at a concentration of 100 mg/L within 48 h, demonstrating a maximum adsorption capacity of 285.63 mg/g. Meanwhile, the heat-killed one also achieved a removal rate of 65.01 %. Among the six typical PAHs (pyrene, phenanthrene, fluorene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene), the mycelial pellets preferentially adsorbed the high molecular weight PAHs, which also have higher toxicity, resulting in higher removal efficiency. The experimental results showed that the biosorption of mycelial pellets was mainly a spontaneous physical adsorption process that occurred as a monolayer on a homogeneous surface, with mass transfer being the key rate-limiting step. The main adsorption sites on the surface of mycelia were carboxyl and N-containing groups. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by mycelial pellets could enhance adsorption, and its coupling with dead mycelia could achieve basically the same removal effect to that of living one. It can be concluded that biosorption by mycelial pellets occurred due to the influence of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, consisting of five steps. Furthermore, the potential applicability of mycelial pellets has been investigated considering diverse factors. The mycelia showed high environmental tolerance, which could effectively remove pyrene across a wide range of pH and salt concentration. And pellets diameters and humic acid concentration had a significant effect on microbial adsorption effect. Based on a cost-effectiveness analysis, mycelium pellets were found to be a low-cost adsorbent. The research outcomes facilitate a thorough comprehension of the adsorption process of pyrene by mycelial pellets and their relevant applications, proposing a cost-effective method without potential environmental issues (heat-killed mycelial pellets plus EPS) to removal PAHs.

Abstract
Nanobubbles (NBs), given their unique properties, could theoretically be paired with rhamnolipids (RL) to tackle polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in groundwater. This approach may overcome the limitations of traditional surfactants, such as high toxicity and low efficiency. In this study, the remediation efficiency of RL, with or without NBs, was assessed through soil column experiments (soil contaminated with phenanthrene). Through the analysis of the two-site non-equilibrium diffusion model, there was a synergistic effect between NBs and RL. The introduction of NBs led to a reduction of up to 24.3 % in the total removal time of phenanthrene. The direct reason for this was that with NBs, the retardation factor of RL was reduced by 1.9 % to 15.4 %, which accelerated the solute replacement of RL. The reasons for this synergy were multifaceted. Detailed analysis reveals that NBs improve RL's colloidal stability, increase its absolute zeta potential, and reduce its soil adsorption capacity by 13.3 %-19.9 %. Furthermore, NBs and their interaction with RL substantially diminish the surface tension, contact angle, and dynamic viscosity of the leaching solution. These changes in surface thermodynamic and rheological properties significantly enhance the migration efficiency of the eluent. The research outcomes facilitate a thorough comprehension of NBs' attributes and their relevant applications, and propose an eco-friendly method to improve the efficiency of surfactant remediation.

Abstract
AIMS Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) grows slowly and is characterised by potential recurrence and metastasis to distant organs. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for locoregional recurrence (LRR) and distant metastasis in patients with ACC of the external auditory canal (EAC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Demographic, pathological, therapeutic and survival data of 143 patients with EAC ACC were reviewed in this study. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were carried out to determine the risk factors for LRR and distant metastasis. Factors associated with overall survival after LRR and distant metastasis were also analysed. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 49 months, 31 of 143 patients were observed with LRR and 34 developed distant metastasis. Bone invasion and histological subtype were independent risk factors for locoregional recurrence-free survival. T stage and LRR were independent risk factors for distant metastasis-free survival. Salvage surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for LRR resulted in better survival, whereas extrapulmonary metastasis and LRR were associated with a higher risk of poor survival after distant metastasis. CONCLUSION Patients with distant metastases, especially those with LRR, are at significant risk of poor prognosis. Our findings emphasise the importance of long-term regular follow-up and recommend surgical intervention with radiotherapy for recurrent EAC ACC.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in aquatic environments are threatening ecosystems and human health. In this work, an effective and environmentally friendly catalyst based on biochar and molecular imprinting technology (MIT) was developed for the targeted degradation of PAHs by activating peroxymonosulfate. The results show that the adsorption amount of naphthalene (NAP) by molecularly imprinted biochar (MIP@BC) can reach 82% of the equilibrium adsorption capacity within 5 min, and it had well targeted adsorption for NAP in the solution mixture of NAP, QL and SMX. According to the comparison between the removal rates of NAP and QL by MIP@BC/PMS or BC/PMS system in respective pure solutions or mixed solutions, the MIP@BC/PMS system can better resist the interference of competing pollutants (i.e., QL) compared to the BC/PMS system; that is, MIP@BC had a good ability to selectively degrade NAP. Besides, the removal rate of NAP by MIP@BC/PMS gradually decreased as pH increased. The addition of Cl- greatly promoted the targeted removal of NAP in the MIP@BC/PMS system, while HCO3- and CO32- both had an inhibitory effect. Furthermore, SO4•-, O2•- and 1O2 produced by BC activating PMS dominated the NAP degradation, and it was inferred that the vacated imprinted cavities after NAP degradation can continue to selectively adsorb NAP and this could facilitate the reusability of the material. This study can promote the research on the targeted degradation of PAHs through the synergism of biochar/PMS advanced oxidation processes and MIT.

Abstract
Herein, biochar was prepared using rice straw, and it served as the peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator to degrade naphthalene (NAP). The results showed that pyrolysis temperature has played an important role in regulating biochar structure and properties. The biochar prepared at 900°C (BC900) had the best activation capacity and could remove NAP in a wide range of initial pH (5-11). In the system of BC900/PMS, multi-reactive species were produced, in which 1O2 and electron transfer mainly contributed to NAP degradation. In addition, the interference of complex groundwater components on the NAP removal rate must get attention. Cl- had a significant promotional effect but risked the formation of chlorinated disinfection by-products. HCO3-, CO32-, and humic acid (HA) had an inhibitory effect; surfactants had compatibility problems with the BC900/PMS system, which could lead to unproductive consumption of PMS. Significantly, the BC900/PMS system showed satisfactory remediation performance in spiked natural groundwater and soil, and it could solve the problem of persistent groundwater contamination caused by NAP desorption from the soil. Besides, the degradation pathway of NAP was proposed, and the BC900/PMS system could degrade NAP into low or nontoxic products. These suggest that the BC900/PMS system has promising applications in in-situ groundwater remediation.

Abstract
Objective: To establish correction model of the sampling time error on the blood trough concentration of tacrolimus in non-sustained-release dosage form for renal transplant recipient and improve the accuracy of drug dose assessment and clinical adjustment in renal transplant recipients. Methods: Visit records of 206 outpatients in the Department of Transplantation, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively collected from October 15, 2022 to October 30, 2022. The distribution of sampling time of tacrolimus blood drug concentration was described and the time range of correction was determined. Twenty inpatients after renal transplantation in the Department of Transplantation, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from October 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022 were prospectively included, and their demography data, laboratory test results during follow-ups, and CYP3A5 genotype were collected. The patients took tacrolimus in non-sustained-release dosage form every 12 h starting from 19∶30 on the day of admission. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patients on the second day of admission at 7∶30 and on the third day at 6∶00-10∶00 every 30 minutes to test the blood concentration of tacrolimus. Using the collection time as the independent variable and the blood tacrolimus concentration as the dependent variable, a simple linear regression was performed to fitting a linear model of tacrolimus blood concentration-sampling time. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of the tacrolimus metabolic rate within a specific period and generate the regression equation. Results: The 206 outpatients aged (46±13) years, including 131 males (63.6%). The time gap [M (Q1, Q3)] between the sampling time of the follow-up outpatients and standard C12 was 24 (13.0, 46.5) min, and the maximum time gap was 135 min. The 20 enrolled inpatients aged (45±12) years, including 15 males (75.0%). There was no significant difference in the blood concentration of tacrolimus collected at 7∶30 on the second (7.87±2.21)ng/ml and third days (7.84±2.33)ng/ml after admission of the enrolled inpatients (P=0.917), and the blood tacrolimus concentration rhythm was stable in the trial. The plasma concentration of C10.5-C14.5 was linearly related to the time, with R2 [M (Q1, Q3)] 0.88 (0.85, 0.92) and all P<0.05. The metabolic rate of tacrolimus during C10.5-C14.5=0.984+0.090×basic concentration of tacrolimus (ng/ml)-0.036×body mass index+0.489×CYP3A5 genotype-0.007×hemolobin(g/L)-0.035×alanine aminotransferase (U/L)+0.143×total cholesterol (mmol/L)+0.027×total bilirubin (μmol/L), with R2=0.85. Conclusion: This study propose a correction model for tacrolimus (non-sustained-release dosage form) trough concentration around C12, which is helpful for clinicians to easily and accurately assess renal transplant recipients' tacrolimus exposure.

Abstract
Biochar is considered a good activator for use in advanced oxidation technology. However, dissolved solids (DS) released from biochar cause unstable activation efficiency. Biochar prepared from saccharification residue of barley straw (BC-SR) had less DS than that prepared directly from barley straw (BC-O). Moreover, BC-SR had a higher C content, degree of aromatization, and electrical conductivity than BC-O. Although the effects of BC-O and BC-SR on activation of Persulfate (PS) to remove phenol were similar, the activation effect of DS from BC-O was 73% higher than that of DS from BC-SR. Moreover, the activation effect of DS was shown to originate from its functional groups. Importantly, BC-SR had higher activation stability than BC-O owing to the stable graphitized carbon structure of BC-SR. Identification of reactive oxygen species showed that SO4•-, •OH, and 1O2 were all effective in degradation by BC-SR/PS and BC-O/PS systems, but their relative contributions differed. Furthermore, BC-SR as an activator showed high anti-interference ability in the complex groundwater matrix, indicating it has practical application value. Overall, this study provides novel insight that can facilitate the design and optimization of a green, economical, stable, and efficient biochar-activated PS for groundwater organic pollution remediation.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) has impacted groundwater resources and can pose a serious threat to human health and the environment. Its fate in groundwater is complex and challenging to predict, as it is affected by adsorption to sediments, complexation with aqueous phase ligands, and variations in hydraulic conductivity. In this study, a 2D reactive transport model based on MODFLOW and RT3D is used to simulate published experimental results of cadmium migration without and with EDTA present in a flow cell containing high- and low-permeability zones (i.e., HPZs and LPZs). The model is then extended to conceptual flow cells with more complex LPZ configurations. Simulation results generally match the experimental data well, and analysis of experimental and simulated Cd effluent concentration profiles shows that EDTA enhances Cd removal from LPZs relative to water alone. Simulation results indicate that faster Cd removal is due to EDTA complexation with adsorbed Cd in LPZs, which enhances its solubilization and subsequent back diffusion. Lastly, simulation results show that with increasing LPZ heterogeneity more Cd is retained in flow cells, and EDTA is more effective in enhancing Cd removal relative to water alone; these results are attributed to more LPZ-HPZ interfaces that enhance Cd mass transfer into LPZs during contamination, and enhance EDTA mass transfer into LPZs to promote cleanup. Overall, the results highlight the promise of using EDTA to remove Cd from heterogeneous sites, but caution is advised due to model simplicity and lack of consideration of changes in solution pH, redox potential, or competing cations.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species generated during the oxygenation of different ferrous species have been documented at groundwater field sites, but their effect on pollutant destruction remains an open question. To address this knowledge gap, a kinetic model was developed to probe mechanisms of •OH production and reactivity with trichloroethene (TCE) and competing species in the presence of reduced iron minerals (RIM) and oxygen in batch experiments. RIM slurries were formed by combining different amounts of Fe(II) and sulfide (with Fe(II):S ratios from 1:1 to 50:1) or Fe(II) and sulfate with sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) added. Extents of TCE oxidation and •OH production were both greater with RIM prepared under more reducing conditions (more added Fe(II)) and then amended with O2. Kinetic rate constants from modeling indicate that •OH production from free Fe(II) dominates •OH production from solid Fe(II) and that TCE competes for •OH with Fe(II) and organic matter (OM). Competition with OM only occurs in experiments with SRB, which include cells and their exudates. Experimental results indicate that cells and/or exudates also provide electron equivalents to reform Fe(II) from oxidized RIM. Our work provides new insights into mechanisms and environmental significance of TCE oxidation by •OH produced from oxygenation of RIM. However, further work is necessary to confirm the relative importance of reaction pathways identified here and to probe potentially unaccounted for mechanisms that affect abiotic TCE oxidation in natural systems.

Abstract
The efficient utility of surfactants remains a daunting task for groundwater remediation. In this study, we have synthesized a conventional photoresponsive surfactant 4-[4-[(4-butylphenyl)azo]phenoxy]butyldimethylethylammonium bromide (AzoPB) and a gemini photoresponsive surfactant N1,N2-bis[4-[4-[(4-butylphenyl)azo]phenoxy]butyl]-N1,N2-tetramethylethane-1,2-diammonium bromide (AzoPBT) for solubilizing PAHs in groundwater. The two surfactants' photosensitivity, surface properties, and solubilization/release ability for phenanthrene (Phe) and acenaphthylene (Ace) were studied in detail. Under UV-light irradiation for 15-20 s, the two surfactants can be converted from trans to cis, while cis-to-trans isomerization can be achieved under visible-light irradiation for 1 min. Compared to AzoPB, AzoPBT exhibited strong surface properties such as lower critical micelle concentration (0.52 mM), surface tension (γ, 28.94 mN·m-1), minimum area (Amin, 1.72 × 10-8 nm2), and higher maximum adsorption (Γmax, 96.55 mol·m-2). The solubility of Phe and Ace in the AzoPBT aqueous solution (12.84 and 14.27 mg/L) was much higher than that in the AzoPB aqueous solution (7.51 and 8.77 mg/L) and gradually increased as the surfactant concentration increased in both aqueous solutions. Compared to AzoPB, gemini surfactant AzoPBT exhibited stronger solubilization ability. After four cycles of cis-trans isomerization conversion, AzoPBT could still reduce the hydrophobicity of Phe in natural groundwater, although the solubility of Phe decreased slightly. Additionally, the release capacity of AzoPBT was significantly higher than that of AzoPB during the cyclic solubilization-release process. The results indicated that gemini photoresponsive surfactants should be preferable to conventional photoresponsive surfactants for groundwater remediation due to their higher solubilization and release efficiency for Phe in the cyclic solubilization and release process, which can improve repair efficiency, minimize secondary pollution, and reduce remediation costs.

Abstract
To explore the role of autophagy-related differential long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in the pathogenesis of melanoma, we established a prognostic prediction model for patients with melanoma based on the expression profiles of autophagy-related gene. Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas and GeneCard database, we used single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA), weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), uniCOX in R software for COX proportional hazard regression analysis, and enrichment analysis to get an idea of biological processes with autophagy-related genes, which evaluates the relationship between autophagy-related genes and immune cell infiltration in patients with melanoma. The roles of identified lncRNA were evaluated by the risk score based on the results of single factor regression analysis for each lncRNA and on the prognosis for patients obtained from the database. Then, the whole sample was divided into high- and low-risk groups. Survival curve analysis showed that low-risk group had a better prognosis. Enrichment analysis revealed multiple key pathways enriched with lncRNA-associated genes. Analysis of immune cell infiltration revealed differences between high- and low-risk groups. Finally, 3 datasets verified the effect of our model on prognosis. There are important autophagy-related lncRNA in patients with melanoma. Top 6 lncRNA are significantly related to the overall survival rate of patients with melanoma and provide the basis for predicting the prognostic survival of patients.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) as an emerging oxidative has been concerned increasingly due to its high oxidation capacity and low byproducts formation potential. This study was to investigate the oxidation of sulfamethazine (SMZ) by PAA activated with activated biochar (ABC) after thermal modification. The results demonstrated that PAA could be effectively activated by ABC to degrade SMZ in a wide pH range (3-9), which followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 > 0.99). Both non-radicals (singlet oxygen) and free radicals (alkoxy radicals, hydroxyl radicals) existed in the ABC/PAA system, and the degradation of SMZ was dominated by singlet oxygen. Humic acid (HA), SO42- and HCO3- slightly inhibited the degradation of SMZ in the ABC/PAA process, while Cl- and Br- promoted the degradation of SMZ. The cleavage of S-N, S-C bond, and SO2 extraction reaction rearrangement was the main oxidation process of SMZ. Meanwhile, the results of the ECOSAR program showed that the acute toxicity of most by-products was significantly reduced compared to SMZ, which revealed the potential applicability of the ABC/PAA process in the treatment of antibiotics pollution and their detoxification.

Abstract
Frequent human activities in estuary areas lead to the release of a large number of antibiotics, which poses a great threat to human health. However, there are very limited studies about the influence of the special natural phenomena on the occurrence and migration of antibiotics in the environment. In this study, we simulated the migration and transformation of six typical antibiotics, including oxytetracycline (OTC), tetracycline (TC), norfloxacin (NOR), ofloxacin (OFX), erythromycin (ETM), and amoxicillin (AMOX), in the environmental media from 2011 to 2019 in the Yangtze River Estuary, by using the level III multi-media fugacity model combined with the factor of tides. The simulation results showed that the most antibiotics mainly existed in soil and sediment while erythromycin were found mainly in water. The concentrations of antibiotics in air, freshwater, seawater, groundwater, sediment, and soil were 10-23-10-25, 0.1-12 ng/L, 0.02-7 ng/L, 0.02-16 ng/L, 0.1-13 ng/g, and 0.1-15 ng/g respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that the degradation rate (Km) and the soil-to-water runoff coefficient (Kl) were important model parameters, indicating that hydrodynamic conditions had a significant impact on the migration of antibiotics in various environmental phases in estuarine areas. Tide can enhance the exchange between water bodies and cause the transformation of the antibiotics from freshwater to seawater and groundwater, which improved the accuracy of the model, especially the seawater and soil phase. Risk assessments showed that amoxicillin, erythromycin, ofloxacin, and norfloxacin posed a threat to the estuarine environment, but the current source of drinking water did not affect human health. Our findings suggested that, when one would like to exam the occurrence and migration of antibiotics in environment, more consideration should be given to the natural phenomena, in addition to human activities and the nature of antibiotics.

Abstract
Co-transport of colloidal substances and pollutants is a pivotal link that significantly affects the environment of coastal groundwater. The effect of colloid mobilization and aquifer pore structure change on heavy metal transport driven by seawater-freshwater interface dynamics is not fully understood. In this study, packed column experiments were conducted to model the seawater intrusion (SWI) and freshwater replenishment (FWR) processes using a sampled medium from a coastal sandy aquifer. Hydrodynamic, hydrochemical variables, and heavy metal (Pb, Cu, Cd) transport during the propagation of the seawater-freshwater interface were tested and analyzed. During the SWI stage, cation exchange induced heavy metal liberations, and it developed peak concentrations synchronized with the seawater-freshwater interface at the pore volume of 1.00. The colloid-facilitated transport for heavy metals was the predominant mechanism in the FWR stage, characterized by a peak release lagging the interface propagation by approximately 0.5 pore volumes. Because the colloidal fraction was mobilized during aquifer desalination, it lagged behind the decline of the salinity gradient. Furthermore, Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) calculations explained that the replenishment decreased the depth of the secondary energy minimum of the colloids; meanwhile, the thickness of the electrical double layer increased from 0.63 nm to 10.14 nm, resulting in a repulsive energy barrier up to 3,213 kT. The transport of colloids led to a reduction in porosity from 18.16% to 2.28% of the total immobile domain. At these times, the dimension of the transported colloids evolved, showing a size-selective transport and therefore regulating the total emission fluxes of the heavy metals. These mechanisms were proposed to be incorporated in colloid filtration theory for targeting the coastal scenario.

Abstract
Carbon-based materials activated peracetic acid (PAA) to repair groundwater is an environmentally friendly and low-cost technology to overcome secondary pollution problems. In this study, thermally modified activated carbon (AC600) was applied to activate PAA to degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX). And the effect of groundwater pH, chloride ion (Cl-), bicarbonate (HCO3-), sulfate ion (SO42-), and natural organic matter (NOM) on SMX removal by AC600/PAA process was studied in detail. PAA could be effectively activated by AC600. Increasing AC600 dose (10-100mg/L) or PAA dosages (0.065-0.39 mM) generally enhanced the SMX removal, the excellent performance in SMX removal was achieved at 50 mg/L AC600 and 0.26 mM PAA. The removal of SMX was well-described by second-order kinetic, with the rate constant (kobs) of 10.79 M-1s-1, both much greater than the removal constants of PAA alone (0.034 M-1s-1) and AC600 alone (1.774 M-1s-1). R-O·(CH3C(O)OO·, CH3C(O)O·) and electron-transfer process were proved to be responsible for the removal of SMX while HO· and 1O2 made little to no contribution to the novel PAA/AC600 system, which differs from typical advanced oxidation processes. The SMX can be removed effectively over a wide pH range (3-9), exhibiting a remarkable pH-tolerant performance. Sulfate ion (SO42-), dissolved oxygen (DO), NOM displayed negligible influence on the SMX removal. Bicarbonate (HCO3-) exerted an inhibitory effect on SMX abatement, while chloride ion (Cl-) promoted the removal of SMX. This showed excellent anti-interference capacity and satisfactory decontamination performance under actual groundwater conditions. Furthermore, the degradation pathways of SMX were proposed, there was no obvious difference in the acute toxicity of the mixed products during the degradation process. It will facilitate further research of metal-free catalyst/PAA system as a new strategy for groundwater in-situ remediation technology.

Abstract
The rapid economic and population growth in coastal areas is causing increasingly serious polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution in these regions. This review compared the PAHs pollution characteristics of different coastal areas, including industrial zones, commercial ports, touristic cities, aquacultural & agricultural areas, oil & gas exploitation areas and megacities. Currently there are various treatment methods to remediate soils and sediments contaminated with PAHs. However, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive overview of all the available remediation technologies up to date, so appropriate technologies can be selected to remediate PAHs pollution. In view of that, we analyzed the characteristics of the remediation mechanism, summarized the remediation methods for soil or sediments in coastal areas, which were physical repair, chemical oxidation, bioremediation and integrated approaches. Besides, this review also reported the development of new multi-functional green and sustainable systems, namely, micro-nano bubble (MNB), biochar, reversible surfactants and peracetic acid. While physical repair, expensive but efficient, was regarded as a suitable method for the PAHs remediation in coastal areas because of land shortage, integrated approaches would produce better results. The ultimate aim of the review was to ensure the successful restructuring of PAHs contaminated soil and sediments in coastal areas. Due to the environment heterogeneity, PAHs pollution in coastal areas remains as a daunting challenge. Therefore, new and suitable technologies are still needed to address the environmental issue.

Abstract
Nanomaterials are threatening the environment and human health, but there has been little discussion about the stability and mobility of nanoparticles (NPs) in saturated porous media at environmentally relevant concentrations of surfactants, which is a knowledge gap in exploring the fate of engineered NPs in groundwater. Therefore, the influences of the anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, SDBS), the cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB), and the nonionic surfactant (Tween-80) with environmentally relevant concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg/L on nano-TiO2 (nTiO2, negatively charged) and nano-CeO2 (nCeO2, positively charged) transport through saturated porous media were examined by column experiments. On the whole, with increasing SDBS concentration from 0 to 20 mg/L, the concentration peak of nTiO2 and nCeO2 in effluents increased by approximately 0.2 and 0.3 (dimensionless concentration, C/C0), respectively, because of enhanced stability and reduced aggregate size resulting from enhanced electrostatic and steric repulsions. By contrast, the transportability of NPs significantly decreased with increasing CTAB concentration due to the attachment of positive charges, which was opposite to the charge on the medium surface and facilitated the NP deposition. On the other hand, the addition of Tween-80 had no significant influence on the stability and mobility of nTiO2 and nCeO2. The results were also demonstrated by the colloid filtration theory (CFT) modeling and the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) interaction calculations; it might promote the assessment and remediation of NP pollution in subsurface environments.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals in aquatic environment have raised wide attention in recent years due to their potential adverse effects and bioaccumulation in biota. China has been a major producer and consumer of pharmaceuticals, however, the potential human health risk of these chemicals is yet to be determined in China. In this study, we evaluated available exposure data for twenty pharmaceuticals in surface waters from Chinese five major river basins (the Yangtze, Haihe, Pearl, Songliao, and Yellow River Basins), and human health risk assessment was performed. Based on the concentration data and risk data, we conducted research on the source, cause, and control measures of the pharmaceuticals. The twenty pharmaceuticals were found to be ubiquitous in China with median concentrations between 0.09 and 304 ng/L. The estimated daily intake of pharmaceuticals from drinking water and eating fish was calculated. The intake via drinking water was significantly lower than that via eating fish. The risk quotients via water intake and fish consumption ranged from 0 to 17.2, with estrogen and sulfapyridine highest among the twenty pharmaceuticals. High risks of exposure were mainly in North China, including the Haihe and Songliao River Basins. This is the first analysis in Chinese major river basins that has filled the gaps in the research on the human health risks of pharmaceuticals. The results of the study provide basic information of pharmaceutical intake from drinking water and eating fish in China and provide insights into the risk management guidance of pharmaceuticals, and will facilitate the optimization of health advisories and policy making.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What are the other male factors that cause total fertilization failure (TFF) excepting for variants in PLCZ1?
Summary answer
Homozygous variants in ACTL9 (actin like 9) cause abnormal localization of PLCζ in a loosened perinuclear theca (PT) structure and leads to TFF.
What is known already
In previous studies, investigators have reported that the female factors in TFF after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) include pathogenic variants in WEE2, TLE6, and TUBB8, whereas for male factors, pathogenic variants in PLCZ1 were reported to be the primary cause of TFF, which account for approximately 30% of couples with male factors in TFF excluding globozoospermia. Most recently, it was reported that pathogenic variants in ACTL7A led to reduced expression and abnormal localization of PLCζ, thereby identifying this genetic variant as a potential cause of TFF.
Study design, size, duration
Fifty-four infertile couples with TFF or poor fertilization (fertilization rate of < 20%) at the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya during January 2014 to June 2020 were recruited into this study.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Male factors were identified in (MOAT). WES analysis was used to analyze the genetic factors of individuals with male factors. Sperm morphological study was conducted by H&E staining and TEM. Immunostaining of PLCζ was used to analyze the status of sperm-borne activation factor. A knock-in mouse model was generated by CRISPER-Cas9 technology. Sperm from homozygous Actl9 variant mice were analyzed by TEM and ICSI. ICSI with AOA was performed in couples with ACTL9 variants.
Main results and the role of chance
A total of 54 couples with TFF or poor fertilization were screened, with 21 couples determined to have a male infertility factor by MOAT. Whole-exome sequencing of these 21 male individuals identified three homozygous pathogenic variants in ACTL9 in three individuals. ACTL9 variations led to abnormal ultrastructure of the PT, with PLCζ absent in the head and present in the neck of the mutant sperm, which contributed to failed normal calcium oscillations in oocytes and subsequent TFF. The key roles of ACTL9 in the PT structure and TFF after ICSI were further confirmed in Actl9-mutated mouse model. Furthermore, assisted oocyte activation by calcium ionophore exposure successfully overcame TFF and achieved live births in a couple with an ACTL9 variant.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The mechanism of how ACTL9 regulate PLCζ remains unknown.
Wider implications of the findings: It provided a genetic marker and a therapeutic option for individuals who have undergone ICSI without successful fertilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) with lumen-apposing metallic stents (LAMS) in patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) has proven to be an alternative to luminal stenting in the duodenum and surgical gastroenterostomy. In severely ill patients, the method can provide improved quality of life (QoL) and symptom relief by restoration of the luminal passage of fluid and nutrients to the small intestine. AIM To assess the technical and clinical success and safety of EUS-GE. MATERIAL AND METHODS A dual center retrospective case series of 33 consecutive patients with GOO due to malignant (n = 28) or non-malignant conditions (n = 5). The patients were treated with EUS-GE using cautery enhanced LAMS. Procedures were performed guided by EUS and fluoroscopy in general anesthesia or conscious sedation. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in all patients. The median procedure time was 71 min and the median hospital stay was three days. Thirty (91%) patients were able to resume oral nutrition after the procedure. Ten patients (30%) experienced adverse events (AEs), including migration of the stent, bleeding, and infection. Four patients had fatal AEs (12%). All stent-related AEs were handled endoscopically. Five patients (15%) needed re-intervention. The median survival time for patients with malignant obstruction was 8.5 weeks (0.5-76), and 13 patients with obstructing malignancies lived 12 weeks or longer. CONCLUSION EUS-GE is a minimally invasive and efficient method for restoration of the gastrointestinal passage and may improve palliative care for patients with GOO. The method has potential hazards and should only be offered in expert centers that regularly perform the procedure.

Abstract
Spectroscopic diagnostics of future fusion reactor plasmas require information on impurity line emissions, especially for relevant high-Z metal elements (e.g., tungsten). These materials will be widely used as plasma facing components for their high heat tolerance and low sputtering yield. Based on an electron beam ion trap, a compact impurity spectra platform is developed to mimic the high-temperature environment of a fusion reactor. The proposed platform can deliver a focused e-beam at energies over 30 keV using a confining magnetic field of ∼1.0 T generated by two superconducting coils (NbTi). Cooled by a closed-loop cryocooler, the coils can avoid the usage of a complicated cryogenic system involving the handling of liquid helium. For spectroscopic studies of highly charged ions, a spherically curved crystal spectrometer is proposed to measure a wavelength range around 2-4 Å covering the typical wavelength range expected to be emitted by metal ions in a fusion plasma. This paper reports the design and development progress of the platform.

Abstract
In recent decades, water quality problems that impact human health, especially groundwater pollution, have been intensely studied, and this has contributed to new ideas and policies around the world such as Low Impact Development (LID) and Superfund legislation. The fundamental to many of these problems is pollutant occurrence and migration in saturated porous media, especially in groundwater. Such environments often contain contrasting zones of high and low permeability with significant differences in hydraulic conductivity (~10-4 and 10-8 m/s, respectively). High-permeability zones (HPZs) represent the primary pathways for pollutant transport in groundwater, while low-permeability zones (LPZs) are often diffusion dominated and serve as both sinks and sources (i.e., via back-diffusion) of pollutants over many decades. In this review, concepts and mechanisms of solute source depletion, contaminant accumulation, and back-diffusion in high- and low-permeability systems are presented, and new insights gained from both experimental and numerical studies are analyzed and summarized. We find that effluent monitoring and novel image analysis techniques have been adroitly used to investigate temporal and spatial evolutions of contaminant concentration; simultaneously, mathematical models are constantly upscaled to verify, optimize and extend the experimental data. However, the spatial concentration data during back-diffusion lacks diversity due to the limitations of pollutant species in studies, the microscopic mechanisms controlling pollutant transformation are poorly understood, and the impacts of these reactions on contaminant back-diffusion are rarely considered. Hence, most simulation models have not been adequately validated and are not capable of accurately predicting pollutant fate and cleanup in realistic heterogeneous aquifers. Based on these, some hypotheses and perspectives are mentioned to promote the investigation of contaminant migration in high- and low-permeability systems in groundwater.

Abstract
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) can serve as a washing agent in the remediation of low-permeability layers contaminated by heavy metals (HMs). Therefore, batch adsorption experiments, where pure quartz (SM1) and mineral mixtures (SM2) were used as typical soil minerals (SMs) in low-permeability layers, were implemented to explore the effects of different EDTA concentrations, pH, and exogenous chemicals on the HM-SM-EDTA adsorption system. As the EDTA concentration increased, it gradually cut down the maximum Cd adsorption capacities of SM1 and SM2 from approximately 135 to 55 mg/kg and 2660 to 1453 mg/kg; and the maximum Pb adsorption capacities of SM1 and SM2 were reduced from 660 to 306 mg/kg and 19,677 to 19,262 mg/kg, respectively. When the initial mole ratio (MR = moles of HM ions/sum of moles of HM ions and EDTA) was closer to 0.5, the effect of EDTA was more effective. Additionally, EDTA worked well at pH below 7.0 and 4.0 for Cd and Pb, respectively. Low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) affected the system mainly by bridging, complexation, adsorption site competition, and reductive dissolution. Cu2+, Fe2+ ions could significantly increase the Cd and Pb adsorption onto SM2. Notably, there were characteristic changes in mineral particles, including attachment of EDTA and microparticles, agglomeration, connection, and smoother surfaces, making the specific surface area (SSA) decrease from 16.73 to 12.59 m2/g. All findings indicated that EDTA could effectively and economically reduce the HM adsorption capacity of SMs at the reasonable MR value, contact time, and pH; EDTA reduced the HM adsorption capacity of SMs not only by complexation with HM ions but also by decreasing SSA and blocking active sites. Hence, the acquired insight from the presented study can help to promote the remediation of contaminated low-permeability layers in groundwater.

Abstract
This study explored an integrated framework to assess the effectiveness of adaptation measures on the water productivity (WP) of the agricultural water management (AWM) system in the Huai river basin of China considering climate change impact. The adaptation measures include optimization of cropping pattern (OCP) and upgradation of irrigation techniques (UIT). The delta change method was used to downscale the climate variables from RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 of general circulation models (GCMs) during 2021-2050, the water footprint theory was used to estimate the spatial distribution of blue water to calculate the WP, and the nonlinear optimization model was used to seek optimal cropping pattern aiming at maximizing the system's WP. The changes in WP due to climate change and adaptation measures (e.g. combinations of OCP and UIT) were compared. Results indicated that WP under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 would be 4.56% and 6.51% lower than those under the benchmark scenario, respectively. The mitigation rates to the negative impact of climate change on WP under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 would be (1) 3.05% and 3.37% for the combination of spay irrigation technique and OCP, and (2) 4.34% and 4.59% for the combination of drip irrigation technique and OCP, respectively. It was revealed that the combination of drip irrigation and cropping pattern optimization could largely offset the adverse effect from climate change on WP under RCP4.5. Under such a scenario, the total plant areas of wheat and maize would reduce over the basin and so would the net export of crops in the basin; this would lead to a decrease in the crop trade benefit of 7.07 × 109 $ and a relief of 7.50 × 109 m3 of blue water loss. This study results could offer strategic decision support for long-term sustainable AWM of Huai river basin in a changing environment.

Abstract
The occurrence, partition, and human health risk of thirteen pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have been investigated in surface water, overlying water, pore water and sediment samples from Dianshan Lake of Yangtze River Delta Ecology and Greenery Integration Development Demonstration Zone in China. PPCPs were ubiquitous in aqueous phase and sediments from Dianshan Lake. Sulfamethazine (SMZ) was dominated in surface water and overlying water, while ketoprofen (KPF) was rich in sediment. The total concentration of PPCPs ranged from 0.38-85.27 ng/L, 24.26-130.03 ng/L and 5.39-149.84 μg/kg in surface water, overlying water and sediment, respectively, which were in middle levels compared with these reported in other aquatic environment in China. Naproxen (NPX), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfamethazine (SMZ) in surface water showed a relatively higher level in lake side than those in lake center suggesting that a mixed containment source of human- and animal-derived from the areas around lake. The significant season variations of most PPCPs were mainly attributed to their usage, water temperature and dilution effect. The partition behaviors of PPCPs in sediment-overlying water and sediment-pore water system were mainly affected by their logKow values, and showed weak correlation with total organic carbon (TOC) content in sediment and molecular weights of PPCPs. Preliminary results indicated that PPCPs in Dianshan Lake have not posed a high risk to human health by exposure to drinking water for all age groups. Nevertheless, their potential to cause the mixture toxicity and resistance genes cannot be neglected. This work will contribute to the clear picture of PPCPs contamination in drinking water source in the Demonstration Zone, and provide reliable and simple-to-use information to regulators on the exposure and risk levels of PPCPs, as well as recommendations for future research.

Abstract
Transport of environmental pollutants in groundwater systems can be greatly influenced by colloids. In this study, the cotransport of Pb2+ and silica (SiO2) colloids at different Pb2+ concentrations was systematically investigated by batch adsorption and saturated sand column experiments. Results showed that SiO2 colloids had low adsorption capacity for Pb2+ (less than 1% of the input) compared with sands. In saturated porous media, SiO2 colloids showed a high mobility; however, with the increase of Pb2+ concentration in the sand column, the mobility of SiO2 colloids gradually decreased. Notably, SiO2 colloids could facilitate Pb2+ transport, although they did not serve as effective carriers of Pb2+. Under the condition of low Pb2+ concentration, SiO2 colloids promoted the Pb2+ transport mainly through the way of "transport channel," while changing the porosity of the medium and masking medium adsorption sites were the main mechanisms of SiO2 colloid-facilitated Pb2+ transport under the condition of high Pb2+ concentration. The discovery of this non-adsorption effect of colloids would improve our understanding of colloid-facilitated Pb2+ transport in saturated porous media, which provided new insights into the role of colloids, especially colloids with weak Pb2+ adsorption capacity, in Pb2+ occurrence and transport in soil-groundwater systems.

Abstract
Pollutant accumulation in the low-permeability zones (LPZs) in groundwater systems is regarded as a secondary source, and its consequent back-diffusion can extend the timeframe of pump-and-treat remediation. However, the bioavailability and mobility of heavy metals and the medium characteristics can be changed during the process. This study investigated the accumulation and back-diffusion law of toxic metals and the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-2Na) on them by implementing a series of tank experiments. In these experiments, a cadmium solution was injected first, and deionized water or EDTA-2Na constantly washed the system consisting of different medium layers. The experimental results showed that the cadmium breakthrough curves had some concentration gradient reverse points where the curves fluctuated with elution by deionized water, which did not exist when EDTA-2Na was the eluent. In these scenarios, the mass of accumulated cadmium in the media before elution was large, with a value of 931 mg (153 mg/kg), when the low-permeability medium was clay. However, when EDTA-2Na was injected together with cadmium, the value dropped to 319 mg (52.3 mg/kg), greatly reducing the cadmium accumulation. Additionally, the use of EDTA-2Na as an eluent resulted in the appearance of a secondary peak in the breakthrough curve, showing that EDTA-2Na accelerated and centralized the back-diffusion. Notably, the reduced cadmium accumulation in LPZs with the elution by EDTA-2Na was partly due to a reduced adsorption capacity of the clay minerals. The above results can advance the technology related to pump-and-treat remediation.

Abstract
Topological structures based on controllable ferroelectric or ferromagnetic domain configurations offer the opportunity to develop microelectronic devices such as high-density memories. Despite the increasing experimental and theoretical insights into various domain structures (such as polar spirals, polar wave, polar vortex) over the past decade, manipulating the topological transformations of polar structures and comprehensively understanding its underlying mechanism remains lacking. By conducting an in-situ non-contact bias technique, here we systematically investigate the real-time topological transformations of polar structures in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers at an atomic level. The procedure of vortex pair splitting and the transformation from polar vortex to polar wave and out-of-plane polarization are observed step by step. Furthermore, the redistribution of charge in various topological structures has been demonstrated under an external bias. This provides new insights for the symbiosis of polar and charge and offers an opportunity for a new generation of microelectronic devices. Direct observation of the dynamic evolution of polar domain structures at atomic level remains challenging. Here, the authors report the observation of real-time topological transformations of polar structures in PbTiO3/SrTiO3 multilayers.

Abstract
Stimulation with ultrafast light pulses can realize and manipulate states of matter with emergent structural, electronic and magnetic phenomena. However, these non-equilibrium phases are often transient and the challenge is to stabilize them as persistent states. Here, we show that atomic-scale PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices, counterpoising strain and polarization states in alternate layers, are converted by sub-picosecond optical pulses to a supercrystal phase. This phase persists indefinitely under ambient conditions, has not been created via equilibrium routes, and can be erased by heating. X-ray scattering and microscopy show this unusual phase consists of a coherent three-dimensional structure with polar, strain and charge-ordering periodicities of up to 30 nm. By adjusting only dielectric properties, the phase-field model describes this emergent phase as a photo-induced charge-stabilized supercrystal formed from a two-phase equilibrium state. Our results demonstrate opportunities for light-activated pathways to thermally inaccessible and emergent metastable states.

Abstract
The capability to directly interrogate intracellular structures inside a single cell for measurement and manipulation is important for understanding subcellular and suborganelle activities, diagnosing diseases, and developing new therapeutic approaches. Compared with measurements of single cells, physical measurement and manipulation of subcellular structures and organelles remain underexplored. To improve intracellular physical measurement and manipulation, we have developed a multipole magnetic tweezers system for micromanipulation involving submicrometer position control and piconewton force control of a submicrometer magnetic bead inside a single cell for measurement in different locations (spatial) and different time points (temporal). The bead was three-dimensionally positioned in the cell using a generalized predictive controller that addresses the control challenge caused by the low bandwidth of visual feedback from high-resolution confocal imaging. The average positioning error was quantified to be 0.4 μm, slightly larger than the Brownian motion–imposed constraint (0.31 μm). The system is also capable of applying a force up to 60 pN with a resolution of 4 pN for a period of time longer than 30 min. The measurement results revealed that significantly higher stiffness exists in the nucleus’ major axis than in the minor axis. This stiffness polarity is likely attributed to the aligned actin filament. We also showed that the nucleus stiffens upon the application of an intracellularly applied force, which can be attributed to the response of structural protein lamin A/C and the intracellular stress fiber actin filaments.

Abstract
Current estimates of China's ammonia (NH3) volatilization from paddy rice differ by more than twofold, mainly due to inappropriate application of chamber-based measurements and improper assumptions within process-based models. Here, we improved the Jayaweera-Mikkelsen (JM) model through multiplying the concentration of aqueous NH3 in ponded water by an activity coefficient that was determined based on high-frequency flux observations at Jingzhou station in Central China. We found that the improved JM model could reproduce the dynamics of observed NH3 flux (R2 = 0.83, n = 228, P < 0.001), while the original JM model without the consideration of activity of aqueous NH3 overstated NH3 flux by 54% during the periods of fertilization and pesticide application. The validity of the improved JM model was supported by a mass-balance-based indirect estimate at Jingzhou station and the independent flux observations from the other five stations across China. The NH3 volatilization losses that were further simulated by the improved JM model forced by actual wind speed were in general a half less than previous chamber-based estimates at six stations. Difference in wind speed between the inside and outside of the chamber and insufficient sampling frequency were identified as the primary and secondary causes for the overestimation in chamber-based estimations, respectively. Together, our findings suggest that an in-depth understanding of NH3 transfer process and its robust representation in models are critical for developing regional emission inventories and practical mitigation strategies of NH3.

Abstract
A magnetic spinel cobalt ferrite nanoparticle composite (CFO) was prepared via an ultrasonication-assisted co-precipitation method. The morphological structure and surface composition of CFO before and after reaction were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, indicating the consumption of iron oxide during photodegradation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry confirm the preparation of the ferrite nanoparticle composite and its magnetic properties. The prepared CFO was then used for the photocatalytic degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ) as an example of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from aqueous solution. The effects of the nanocomposite dosage, contact time, and solution pH on the photodegradation process were investigated. More than 96% of the CBZ was degraded within 100 min at 0.2 g·L-1 CFO in the presence of UV light. The reactive species for CBZ degradation in the CFO/UV system was identified as hydroxyl radicals by the methanol scavenging method. Combined with the detection of leached iron ions during the process, the CBZ degradation mechanism can be presumed to be heterogeneous and homogeneous photocatalytic degradation in the CFO/UV system. Furthermore, iminostilbene and acridine were detected as intermediate products by GC-MS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the ultrasound presentation of the brain and cerebral hemodynamics in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) by comparison with control subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS During June 2012 to April 2013, full term neonates who had clinical evidence of HIE were enrolled. Healthy newborns without HIE were used as a control group. Cerebral parenchyma, size of lateral ventricles and hemodynamic parameters of cerebral arteries were studied using two-dimensional duplex and color Doppler ultrasound. Neonates with moderate and severe HIE were followed-up with ultrasound for at least 3 months. RESULTS A total of 158 consecutive neonates (82 boys and 76 girls), including 54 with mild HIE, 60 with moderate HIE and 44 with severe HIE were included. One hundred and twenty healthy newborns were randomly selected as a control group. Abnormal ultrasound findings of brain parenchyma were found in 25/54 (46.3%) neonates with mild HIE whereas they were found in 58/60 (96.7%) neonates with moderate HIE and 44/44 (100%) neonates with severe HIE. Almost all neonates with severe HIE had decreased cerebral artery blood flow velocity and increased resistance index of cerebral arteries. Of the 104 neonates with moderate or severe HIE, follow-up ultrasound examination revealed cystic parenchymal lesions in 12/104 (11.5%), progressive ventricular dilatation and brain atrophy in 12/104 (11.5%), mild ventricular dilatation in 15/104 (14.4%) and leukoencephalomalacia in 2/104 (1.9%) neonates. CONCLUSION Ultrasound features such as the size of lateral ventricles, altered brain parenchymal echogenicity and cerebral blood flow parameters are useful for the early diagnosis of HIE and help predict outcome.
