Abstract
OBJECTIVES To uncover the clinical course of fetal isolated non-immune mediated second-degree AVB and determine the factors associated with the spontaneous recovery for fetal non-immune second-degree atrioventricular block (AVB). METHODS A total of 20 fetuses with isolated, non-immune mediated second-degree AVB were prospectively recruited between 2014 and 2022. These fetuses were divided into the spontaneous recovery group (n=12) and the non-spontaneous recovery group (n=8). Maternal and fetal basic characteristics, intrauterine and postnatal outcomes were compared between groups. RESULTS Twelve fetuses restored 1:1 atrioventricular conduction in utero and did not recur during the postnatal follow-up period. The residual eight fetuses maintained as second-degree AVB and six of them were aborted due to parental request in utero. Of the two live children with second-degree AVB, one of them progressed to complete AVB at the latest follow up at the age of 34 months, but without any symptoms, heart enlargement or dysfunction. The residual one progressed to complete AVB and was finally diagnosed with type 2 long-QT syndrome. Fetuses in the spontaneous recovery group presented with earlier gestational age at diagnosis (20.0[17.0-26.0] vs. 24.5[18.0-35.0] weeks, p=0.004) and higher atrial rate (147[130-160] vs 138.00[125.00-149.00] bpm, p=0.006) in comparison with the non-spontaneous recovery group. A cut-off value of 22.5 weeks of gestational age and 144 bpm of atrial rate at diagnosis could predict the failure of spontaneous recovery, with sensitivities of 87.5%, 75%, and specificities of 92.0%, 87.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The outcome of fetal non-immune second-degree AVB was favorable. Earlier gestational age at diagnosis and higher atrial rate were related to spontaneous reversion for isolated non-immune-mediated second-degree AVB. However, prenatal gene test should be performed for those with persistent AVB to exclude the heritable disorders including LQTS. These findings may provide important references for clinical management and prenatal counseling. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Security printing is of the utmost importance in the information era. However, the excessive use of inks and paper still faces many economic and environmental issues. Thus, developing erasable inkless security printing materials is a remarkable strategy to save resources, protect the environment, and improve information security. To this endeavor, a photoresponsive lanthanide-polyoxometalate-doped gelatin film with high transparency was developed through the solution casting method. Attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions between gelatin and lanthanide-polyoxometalate. Absorption spectra, luminescent spectra, and digital images indicated that the film displayed reversible photochromism behavior and was accompanied by luminescent switching property upon exposure to UV irradiation and oxygen (in the dark) alternately, which allowed its potential application as a reprintable medium for inkless security printing. The printed information can be erased upon exposure to oxygen in the dark, and the film can be reused for printing again. The film exhibited excellent erasability, reprintability, renewability, and low toxicity. In addition, multiple encryption strategies were designed to improve information security. This work offers an attractive alternative strategy for constructing a reprintable film for inkless security printing in terms of simplifying the preparation process, saving resources, and protecting the environment.

Abstract
We demonstrate record ∼0.9% efficiencies for optical conversion to narrowband (<1% relative bandwidth) terahertz (THz) radiation by strongly cascaded difference frequency generation. These results are achieved using a novel, to the best of our knowledge, laser source, customized for high efficiencies, with two narrow spectral lines of variable separation and pulse duration (≥250 ps). THz radiation generation in 5% MgO-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystals of varying poling period was explored at cryogenic and room temperature operation as well as with different crystal lengths. This work addresses an increasing demand for high-field THz radiation pulses which has, up to now, been largely limited by low optical-to-THz radiation conversion efficiencies.

Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that calcium lactate (ca-lactate) fortification of soymilk to
achieve the equivalent calcium level in cow’s milk (1.2 mg/g) causes instability in
soymilk. In order to produce acceptable calcium-enriched soymilk with great stability,
three different kinds of chelating agents were added, namely tripotassium citrate (TPC),
trisodium citrate (TSC), and sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP). In this study, the
addition of ca-lactate was found to reduce the pH (6.62 to 5.37) and increase the particle
diameter (268.66 to 1,222.81 nm) and sedimentation (0.19 to 8.75%) of soymilk.
Meanwhile, the addition of TPC and TSC produced calcium-enriched soymilks with
smaller particle diameter (295.21-452.22 nm and 297.61-461.80 nm) and lower
sedimentation levels (0.25-1.55% and 0.26-1.58%). The pH of calcium-enriched soymilk
was also increased when both chelating agents were added. The application of SHMP as a
chelating agent was not as effective as TPC and TSC because the particle diameter
(527.98-703.40 nm) and sedimentation level were still relatively higher (4.24-5.68%) than
the unfortified soymilk. Even though both TPC and TSC showed no significant difference
(P>0.05) in stability, the sensory evaluation showed different results. Soymilk with TSC
added was saltier and sourer than samples with TPC added. The study recommends the
use of TPC as the chelating agent in soymilk enriched with ca-lactate.

Abstract
A recently developed compact 3 T (C3T) MRI scanner with high performance gradients [1, 2] has a dedicated radiofrequency (RF) transmit coil that exposes only the head, neck and a small portion of the upper body region during head-first scanning. Due to the unique coil geometry and patient positioning, the established SAR model used for a conventional whole-body scanner cannot be directly translated to the C3T. Here a specific absorption rate (SAR) estimation and validation framework was developed and used to implement a dedicated and accurate SAR prediction model for the C3T. Two different SAR prediction models for the C3T were defined and evaluated: one based on an anatomically derived exposed mass, and one using a fixed anatomical position located caudally to the RF coil to determine the exposed mass. After coil modeling and virtual human body simulation, the designed SAR prediction model was implemented on the C3T and verified with calorimetry and in vivo scan power monitoring. The fixed-demarcation exposed mass model was selected as appropriate exposed mass region to accurately estimate the SAR deposition in the patient on the C3T.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) presents a comprehensive regulatory network among lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNA. The ceRNA provides significant information in understanding the pathology of cancer. This study aimed to explore a lncRNA-associated ceRNA network for predicting the overall survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, RNA-sequencing data of HCC were downloaded from The Cancer Genomes Atlas (TCGA) database. The module-trait relationship was analyzed with Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The key module associated with tumor was identified, as well as the involved lncRNAs, mRNAs and miRNAs. The preliminary ceRNA network was constructed with Cytoscape. The survival analysis was further performed to screen survival-relevant lncRNAs, mRNAs and miRNAs, and then the survival-associated ceRNA network was reconstructed. RESULTS Eventually, 5 lncRNAs, 10 miRNAs, and 25 mRNAs were included in the reconstructed ceRNA network. CONCLUSIONS The identified lncRNAs were promising candidate biomarkers in HCC diagnosis and therapeutics. This analysis process was effective to construct ceRNA network. The result will be conductive to explore the significant lncRNAs and regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Visibility in lakes can decrease due to increases in the amounts of suspended solids and algae, which inhibits the growth of submerged macrophytes. However, the understanding about whether illumination reduction affects the nitrogen-cycling microorganisms in the rhizosphere of submerged macrophytes, is limited. The abundance and biodiversity of nirS denitrifying and anammox bacteria in the rhizosphere of Potamogeton crispus were studied under 0% (natural light), 20%, 40%, and 60% shading treatments. The abundance of the nirS gene was highest under 60% shading treatment, while the anammox 16S rRNA gene was highest under 40% shading treatment. Moreover, the abundance of the two genes were lower under natural light than under shading conditions during most sampling periods. The quantitative ratio of the two gene (anammox 16S rRNA to nirS gene) abundance fluctuated wildly with the distance away from the roots, under natural light and 20% shading treatment. However, the ratio varied relatively little under 40% and 60% shading treatments. The diversity of nirS denitrifying bacteria was high in the rhizosphere, while the diversity of anammox bacteria was low, and Candidatus Brocadia fulgida was dominant. This study revealed that illumination reduction not only facilitated the growth of nirS denitrifying and anammox bacteria in the rhizosphere, but also weakened the competition between the two bacteria.

Abstract
Precise quantitative delineation of tumor hypoxia is essential in radiation therapy treatment planning to improve the treatment efficacy by targeting hypoxic sub-volumes. We developed a combined imaging system of positron emission tomography (PET) and electron para-magnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) of molecular oxygen to investigate the accuracy of PET imaging in assessing tumor hypoxia. The PET/EPRI combined imaging system aims to use EPRI to precisely measure the oxygen partial pressure in tissues. This will evaluate the validity of PET hypoxic tumor imaging by (near) simultaneously acquired EPRI as ground truth. The combined imaging system was constructed by integrating a small animal PET scanner (inner ring diameter 62 mm and axial field of view 25.6 mm) and an EPRI subsystem (field strength 25 mT and resonant frequency 700 MHz). The compatibility between the PET and EPRI subsystems were tested with both phantom and animal imaging. Hypoxic imaging on a tumor mouse model using 18F-fluoromisonidazole radio-tracer was conducted with the developed PET/EPRI system. We report the development and initial imaging results obtained from the PET/EPRI combined imaging system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether microRNA-1286 could inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of human marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) by regulating FZD4 expression and promoting the progression of osteoporosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of microRNA-1286 in the serum of patients with osteoporosis. Meanwhile, microRNA-1286 expression in different stages of osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs was measured by qRT-PCR as well. After overexpression of microRNA-1286 and FZD4 in hMSCs, the mRNA expression levels of microRNA-1286, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), RUNX2 and osteocalcin (OCN) were detected by qRT-PCR. The protein expression levels of RUNX2 and OCN were detected by Western blot. Meanwhile, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and expression in cells were examined using ALP assay kit and ALP staining method, respectively. Cell mineralized nodules were detected through the alizarin red staining test. Bioinformatics method was used to predict the binding site of microRNA-1286 to FZD4. Subsequent luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify whether microRNA-1286 could combine with FZD4. After overexpression or knockdown of microRNA-1286, the mRNA and protein expressions of FZD4 were analyzed using qRT-PCR and Western blot assay, respectively. After the simultaneous overexpression of microRNA-1286 and FZD4 in hMSCs, the mRNA expression levels of ALP, RUNX2 and OCN, ALP activity and content, and cell mineralization ability were successively examined. RESULTS The expression of microRNA-1286 in the serum of patients with osteoporosis was significantly higher than that of the normal population. Meanwhile, microRNA-1286 expression decreased with the increase of osteogenic differentiation days of hAMSCs. After the overexpression of microRNA-1286, ALP, RUNX2, and OCN levels, ALP activity, RUNX2, and OCN protein levels, as well as mineralized nodule formation were significantly reduced. However, results were reversed when FZD4 was simultaneously up-regulated. Luciferase reporter gene assay results verified that microRNA-1286 could bind to FZD4. After the overexpression of microRNA-1286, the mRNA and protein expressions of FZD4 were found significantly down-regulated. However, results were reversed after knocking down microRNA-1286. Furthermore, the simultaneous overexpression of microRNA-1286 and FZD4 could counteract the inhibitory effect of over-expression of microRNA-1286 on osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. CONCLUSIONS MicroRNA-1286 can regulate FZD4 expression and inhibit osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, thereby promoting the development of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Bacteria involved with ecosystem N cycling in the rhizosphere of submerged macrophytes are abundant and diverse. Any declines of submerged macrophytes can have a great influence on the abundance and diversity of denitrifying bacteria and anammox bacteria. Natural decline, tardy decline, and sudden decline methods were applied to cultivated Potamogeton crispus. The abundance of anammox bacteria and nirS denitrifying bacteria in rhizosphere sediment were detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR of 16S rRNA, and phylogenetic trees were constructed to analyze the diversities of these two microbes. The results indicated that the concentration of NH4+ in pore water gradually increased with increasing distances from the roots, whereas, the concentration of NO3- showed a reverse trend. The abundance of anammox bacteria and nirS denitrifying bacteria in sediment of declined P. crispus populations decreased significantly over time. The abundance of these two microbes in the sudden decline group were significantly higher (P > 0.05) than the other decline treatment groups. Furthermore, the abundances of these two microbes were positively correlated, with RDA analyses finding the mole ratio of NH4+/NO3- being the most important positive factor affecting microbe abundance. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the anammox bacteria Brocadia fuigida and Scalindua wagneri, and nirS denitrifying bacteria Herbaspirillum and Pseudomonas, were the dominant species in declined P. crispus sediment. We suggest the sudden decline of submerged macrophytes would increase the abundance of anammox bacteria and denitrifying bacteria in a relatively short time.

Abstract
We present the development of a PET insert system for potential simultaneous PET/MR imaging using a 9.4 T small animal MRI scanner to test our system. The detectors of the system adopt a strip-line based multiplexing readout method for SiPM signals. In this readout, multiple SiPM outputs in a row share a common strip-line. The position information about a hit SiPM is encoded in the propagation time difference of the signals arriving at the two ends of the strip-line. The use of strip-lines allows us to place the data acquisition electronics remotely from the detector module to greatly simplify the design of the detector module and minimize the mutual electromagnetic interference. The prototype is comprised of 14 detector modules, each of which consists of an 8x4 LYSO scintillator array (each LYSO crystal is 3x3x10 mm3) coupled to two units of Hamamatsu MPPC arrays (4x4, 3.2 mm pitch) that are mounted on a strip-line board. On the strip-line board, outputs of the 32 SiPMs are routed to 2 strip-lines so that 16 SiPM signals share a strip-line. The detector modules are installed inside a plastic cylindrical supporting structure with an inner and outer diameter of 60 mm and 115 mm, respectively, to fit inside a Bruker BioSpec 9.4 Tesla MR scanner. The axial field of view of the prototype is 25.4 mm. The strip-lines were extended by using 5-meter cables to a sampling data acquisition (DAQ) board placed outside the magnet. The detectors were not shielded in the interest of investigating how they may affect and be affected by the MRI. Experimental tests were conducted to evaluate detection performance, and phantom and animal imaging were carried out to assess the spatial resolution and the MR compatibility of the PET insert. Initial results are encouraging and demonstrate that the prototype insert PET can potentially be used for PET/MR imaging if appropriate shielding will be implemented for minimizing the mutual interference between the PET and MRI systems.

Abstract
AIMS Although comammox have been discovered in a variety of ecosystems, there are few studies in urban lakes. This paper attempted to confirm whether this ammonia-oxidizing microbe exists in urban lakes and to determine the factors influencing its existence. METHODS AND RESULTS This study investigated the diversity and abundance of comammox bacteria in sediments of a typical urban lake in China, and their ecological relationship with other ammonia-oxidizing micro-organisms. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that comammox clade A existed in the sediment of Lake Donghu, and the comammox bacteria co-existed with ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria in the sediment of this lake. The abundances of the ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (amoA) genes for comammox, AOA, AOB and anammox 16S rRNA were 2·43 × 108 , 1·07 × 108 , 3·24 × 107 and 3·21 × 1011 copies per gram dry sediment respectively. Moreover, the amoA gene abundance of comammox was positively correlated with that of AOA and AOB. The redundancy analysis showed that the abundance of the comammox amoA gene was negatively correlated with the concentration of main indicators for nitrogen status in both the sediment and the water column, indicating that eutrophication may inhibit the growth of comammox bacteria. CONCLUSIONS Comammox bacteria play an important ecological role in the nitrogen cycle of urban lake sediments. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our results indicated comammox bacteria were widespread in urban lakes and eutrophication may inhibit their growth.

Abstract
Excessive nitrogen has been a global concern to cause lake eutrophication. The denitrification and anammox processes are considered to be effective biological pathways for nitrogen removal. Submerged macrophytes also play a key role in the nitrogen cycle of lakes. However, the mechanism of submerged macrophytes on regulating biological nitrogen removal pathways has not been well quantified. Therefore, this study investigated the impacts of submerged macrophytes on the community structures and abundance of the nirS-type denitrifiers and anammox bacteria in the rhizospheres. The qPCR results indicated that the abundance of two bacteria in the near-rhizospheres of submerged macrophytes was significantly lower than the root compartments and non-rhizospheres, while the concentrations of organic acids in the near-rhizospheres were higher than those of the root compartments and non-rhizospheres. Redundancy analysis results illustrated that concentrations of NO3--N, NO2--N, citric acid and oxalic acid were the key environmental indicators which had the significant impact on the microbial community. The concentrations of citric acid and oxalic acid were negatively correlated with the nirS-type denitrifiers abundance, and the oxalic acid concentrations were negatively correlated with the anammox bacteria abundance. These results indicated that submerged macrophytes could reduce the abundance of nirS-type denitrifiers and anammox bacteria by releasing organic acids. In addition, the highest diversity of denitrifier community were found in the rhizosphere of the Hydrilla verticillata, while the highest diversity of anammox community were found in the Potamogeton maackianus rhizosphere. These results indicate that the impacts of submerged macrophytes on the biological nitrogen removal pathways were species-dependent.

Abstract
In this work, the distribution of organic phosphorus (Po) species in sediment profiles of five shallow lakes was analyzed and its effect on the photo-release of dissolved phosphate (Pi) was investigated during sediment resuspension under simulated sunlight irradiation. The results show that Po was highly enriched in the surface sediment and gradually decreased as sediment depths increased: 33.10 ± 2.55-96.71 ± 7.60 mg/kg, 33.55 ± 2.34-142.86 ± 5.73 mg/kg, 57.50 ± 3.46-149.68 ± 7.67 mg/kg, 55.18 ± 4.67-168.73 ± 8.31 mg/kg, 98.75 ± 7.56-275.74 ± 10.70 mg/kg for Lake Hou, Lake Tuan, Lake Tangling, Lake Guozheng and Lake Miao, respectively. The photo-release amount of dissolved Pi in the resuspension composed of surface sediments was also higher than that of deep sediment during sediment resuspension under the simulated sunlight irradiation for 9 h. The potential reasons for these results are: (1) difference in morphology and composition of sediments at different depths: the mean particle size of sediment decreased first and then increased as sediment depths increased; (2) difference in composition of Po species with depths in the sediment profiles: more photolytic Po species existed in surface sediments confirmed by sequential extraction and 31P NMR analysis; and (3) more OH production in the resuspension composed of surface sediment under simulated sunlight irradiation, which directly influence the photo-release of dissolved Pi from photodegradation of organic phosphorus. All of these results indicate that the distribution of organic phosphorus species in the sediment profiles plays an important role in P cycle and its photodegradation during sediment resuspension may be one of the potential pathways for phosphate supplement in shallow lakes.

Abstract
We generate temporally modulated optical pulses with a beat frequency of 255 GHz, a duration of 360 ps, and a repetition rate of 2 MHz. The temporal envelope, beat frequency, and repetition rate are computer-programmable. A frequency comb serves as a phase and frequency reference for the locking of two laser lines. The system enables beat frequencies that are adjustable in steps of the frequency comb's repetition rate and exhibit Hz-level precision and accuracy. We expect the optical beat pulses to be well suited for versatile multi-cycle terahertz-wave generation with controllable carrier-envelope phase. We demonstrate that the inherent synchronization of the frequency comb's ultra-short pulse train and the synthesized optical beat (or later the multi-cycle terahertz) pulses enables rapid and phase-sensitive sampling of such pulses.

Abstract
Background The nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) pathway, which plays an important role in carbon and nitrogen cycling in aquatic ecosystems, is mediated by “Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera” (M. oxyfera) of the NC10 phylum. M. oxyfera-like bacteria are widespread in nature, however, the presence, spatial heterogeneity and genetic diversity of M. oxyfera in the rhizosphere of aquatic plants has not been widely reported. Method In order to simulate the rhizosphere microenvironment of submerged plants, Potamogeton crispus was cultivated using the rhizobox approach. Sediments from three compartments of the rhizobox: root (R), near-rhizosphere (including five sub-compartments of one mm width, N1–N5) and non-rhizosphere (>5 mm, Non), were sampled. The 16S rRNA gene library was used to investigate the diversity of M. oxyfera-like bacteria in these sediments. Results Methylomirabilis oxyfera-like bacteria were found in all three sections, with all 16S rRNA gene sequences belonging to 16 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). A maximum of six OTUs was found in the N1 sub-compartment of the near-rhizosphere compartment and a minimum of four in the root compartment (R) and N5 near-rhizosphere sub-compartment. Indices of bacterial community diversity (Shannon) and richness (Chao1) were 0.73–1.16 and 4–9, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that OTU1-11 were classified into group b, while OTU12 was in a new cluster of NC10. Discussion Our results confirmed the existence of M. oxyfera-like bacteria in the rhizosphere microenvironment of the submerged plant P. crispus. Group b of M. oxyfera-like bacteria was the dominant group in this study as opposed to previous findings that both group a and b coexist in most other environments. Our results indicate that understanding the ecophysiology of M. oxyfera-like bacteria group b may help to explain their existence in the rhizosphere sediment of aquatic plant.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with hematological tumor or disease before and after reversible posterior leukoen-cephalopathy syndrome (RPLS). METHODS Five patients were both from Peking University First Hospital Pediatric Hematology-oncology Department in the period from March 2012 to March 2017. The gender, age, BMI, underlying diseases, with or without renal damage, hypertension family history, clinical manifestations of convulsions, hemoglobin, and blood pressure, serum sodium levels before and after convulsion, and other data of the children with RPLS were retrospectively analyzed. In the meantime, we followed up the five patients for 6 months to 66 months, kept a watchful eye on their original condition and the recovery of symptoms and signs of the nervous system. The relevant literature was reviewed. RESULTS All of the subjects were females in school-age or pre-school age. The underlying diseases were malignant tumor associated with renal involvement or on one side of nephrectomy in 4 of these subjects, while the other one was refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia. All of the subjects suffered from mild or moderate anemia. The day before RPLS occurred they received chemotherapy made up with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and actinomycin-D, or the therapy with cyclosporin A and glucocorticoid. The clinical manifestations were afebrile convulsion after getting up in the mooring or in the afternoon. We observed elevation of blood pressure and cutting down of serum sodium compared with themselves. All of the cases recovered soon after management with diazepam, furosemide and amlodipine besylate. Four of them had a good outcomes and did not remain any sequela, while only one girl became childish in emotion and behavior, and then returned gradually to normal two years later. However, by long-term follow-up, the elevation of blood pressure was mainly reviewed in literature. CONCLUSION The patients attacked by RPLS, with hematology or oncology cases, could have the underlying disease of renal damage and anemia. Blood pressure elevation and serum sodium falling down at the same time may play an important role during the occurrence of RPLS. Remaining stable of blood pressure and electrolyte level together will possibly reduce or mitigate RPLS.

Abstract
A hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system was operated at pilot scale to evaluate the treatment of domestic wastewater from university dorms in Hubei province, China. The hybrid system consisted of an integrated vertical flow constructed wetland (IVF CW) (a down-flow VF CW and an up-flow VF CW) and a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSF CW). The influent for the hybrid CW containing chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), and ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) with mean concentrations of 152, 0.75, 18.9, and 8.9 mg L-1, respectively, was purified by the hybrid CW system to achieve mean removal efficiencies of 59.0% COD, 82.8% TP, 57.7% TN, and 79.2% NH4+-N over a 9-month period. The nitrification intensity of the media in the down-flow VF CW was the highest compared to the other CWs, whereas the denitrification intensity of the media in the HSF CW was significantly higher than the IVF CW. The abundance of nitrifying bacteria in the media of the IVF CW was higher than in the HSF CW, while a higher abundance of denitrifying bacteria was found in the HSF CW compared to the IVF CW, suggesting that the HSF CW was more suitable for the growth of denitrifying bacteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression level of serum microRNA-21 (miR-21) in 69 patients with osteosarcoma, to analyze the changes in miR-21 expression in the serum and tumor tissues before and after chemotherapy in patients with osteosarcoma, and to investigate the relationship between the expression of serum miR-21 in patients with osteosarcoma and chemosensitivity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of serum miR-21 in 69 patients with osteosarcoma before and after chemotherapy, and analyze the relationship between the expression of miR-21 with tumor necrosis grading and chemosensitivity. The expression level of programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) in tumor tissues of patients with osteosarcoma before and after chemotherapy was detected by Western blot. RESULTS The expression level of serum miR-21 in patients with osteosarcoma was significantly higher than that in normal control subjects. The expression of serum miR-21 before and after chemotherapy was positively correlated with the expression of miR-21 in the corresponding tissues. In the group where chemotherapy was effective (the effective group), expression levels of miR-21 in patients with osteosarcoma before and after chemotherapy were significantly different. After chemotherapy, the expression level of target genes of miR-21 was increased, and the follow-up results showed that the 5-year survival rate was relatively higher after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The expression level of serum miR-21 in patients with osteosarcoma is closely related to the therapeutic effects of osteosarcoma, which can be used as one of the potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and prediction of osteosarcoma.

Abstract
This review focuses on the applicability of red mud as an amendment for metal/metalloid-contaminated soil. The varying properties of red muds from different sources are presented as they influence the potentially toxic element (PTE) concentration in amended soil. Experiments conducted worldwide from the laboratory to the field scale are screened and the influencing parameters and processes in soils are highlighted. Overall red mud amendment is likely to contribute to lowering the PTE availability in contaminated soil. This is attributed to the high pH, Fe and Al oxide/oxyhydroxide content of red mud, especially hematite, boehmite, gibbsite and cancrinite phases involved in immobilising metals/metalloids. In most cases red mud amendment resulted in a lowering of metal concentrations in plants. Bacterial activity was intensified in red mud-amended contaminated soil, suggesting the toxicity from PTEs was reduced by red mud, as well as indirect effects due to changes in soil properties. Besides positive effects of red mud amendment, negative effects may also appear (e.g. increased mobility of As, Cu) which require site-specific risk assessments. Red mud remediation of metal/metalloid contaminated sites has the potential benefit of reducing red mud storage and associated problems.

Abstract
We investigated sediments with high atrazine accumulation capability from 6 eutrophic lakes in Hubei Province of central China. Almost all lakes have atrazine in their sediments because of human activities. Honghu Lake and Liangzihu Lake were found to have higher levels of atrazine in sediment: 0.171 and 0.114 mg kg-1, respectively. The results showed that lake sediments could adsorb atrazine six times faster than soils. The equilibrium partition coefficient of atrazine desorption (KPd) is much larger than the adsorption equilibrium partition coefficient (KPa) of atrazine, indicating that the residue of atrazine in water is easily immobilized by the sediments. Meanwhile, the incubation experiment showed that the removal rateof atrazine in Potamogeton crispus-planted and Myriophyllum spicatum-planted sediments reached >90%, while the rate in unplanted sediments was 77.2 ± 2.12% over 45 d. In unplanted sediment, the half-life of atrazine dissipation was 14.30 d, which was strongly enhanced by P. crispus and M. spicatum, greatly reducing the half-life to 8.60 and 9.72 d, respectively. These two submerged macrophytes are considered to be potential tools in the remediation of atrazine-contaminated sediments.

Abstract
Eichhornia crassipes (EC, water hyacinth) has gained attention due to its alarming reproductive capacity, which subsequently leads to serious ecological damage of water in many eutrophic lakes in the world. The traditional mechanical removal methods have disadvantages. They squander this valuable lignocellulosic resource. Meanwhile, there is a bottleneck for the subsequently reasonable and efficient utilization of EC biomass on a large scale after phytoremediation of polluted water using EC. As a result, the exploration of effective EC utilization technologies has become a popular research field. After years of exploration and amelioration, there have been significant breakthroughs in this research area, including the synthesis of excellent EC cellulose-derived materials, innovative bioenergy production, etc. This review organizes the research of the utilization of the EC biomass among several important fields and then analyses the advantages and disadvantages for each pathway. Finally, comprehensive EC utilization technologies are proposed as a reference.
