Abstract
Jilin Qian'an, located in Northeastern China's Songnen Plain, relies almost exclusively on groundwater for drinking. The quaternary phreatic aquifer (Q3) is distinguished by high geogenic fluoride and arsenic concentrations, which necessitates reliance on quaternary confined (Q1) and neogene confined (N) aquifers (deeper aquifers) as source point management (SPM) alternatives. However, deeper aquifers are contaminated, necessitating temporal monitoring and unique management strategies. Using 165 samples, this study investigated the appropriateness of deeper restricted aquifers as a continuous SPM alternative by assessing the spatiotemporal groundwater quality and human health risk of the multi-aquifers in Jilin Qian'an from the 1980s to the 2010s. In addition, a source point management zonation (SPMZ) was implemented to define the specific intervention necessary in various portions of the study area. Results indicate water quality parameters were within recommended limits for most samples except fluoride, while arsenic was the most significant heavy metal pollutant. Mean groundwater mineralization in all the aquifers increased with time. Deeper aquifers are still a better alternative to the shallow phreatic aquifer as groundwater quality in the study is of the order N > Q1 > Q3 in the respective aquifers. Cancer risk assessment (CR) shows increases from 2001 to the 2010s in all aquifers except in Q3. SPMZ delineated: High As and high F zones; high As and low F zones; high As zones; high F zones; low F zones; and safe zones. Localized intervention based on SPMZ is recommended, along with the use of alternative water sources.

Abstract
Taxa-specific responses to the increasing anthropogenic eutrophication offer promising insights for mitigating harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwaters. The present study evaluated the HABs species dynamics in response to the ecosystem anthropogenic enrichment during cyanobacterial-dominated spring HABs in the Pengxi River, Three Gorges Reservoir, China. Results show significant cyanobacterial dominance with a relative abundance (RA = 76.54 %). The ecosystem enrichments triggered shifts in the HABs community structure from Anabaena to Chroococcus, especially in the culture involving iron (Fe) addition (RA = 66.16 %). While P-alone enrichment caused a dramatic increase in the aggregate cell density (2.45 × 108 cells L-1), the multiple enrichment (NPFe) led to maximum biomass production (as chl-a = 39.62 ± 2.33 μgL-1), indicating that nutrient in conjunction with the HABs taxonomic characteristics e.g., tendency to possess high cell pigment contents rather than cell density can potentially determine massive biomass accumulations during HABs. The stimulation of growth as biomass production demonstrated by both P-alone and the multiple enrichments, NPFe indicates that although P exclusive control is feasible in the Pengxi ecosystem, it can only guarantee a short-term reduction in HABs magnitude and duration, thus a lasting HABs mitigation measure must consider a policy recommendation involving multiple nutrient management, especially N and P dual control strategy. The present study would adequately complement the concerted effort in developing a rational predictive framework for freshwater eutrophication management and HABs mitigations in the TGR and elsewhere with similar anthropogenic stressors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study evaluated the effect of multiple blood transfusions on the prevalence of iron load and its effects on organ functions in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). METHODOLOGY Sixty-seven multiply transfused SCA subjects and 58 non-multiply transfused SCA controls were investigated. Serum ferritin, insulin, growth hormone (GH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were measured by the ELISA method while plasma alanine transaminase (ALT) was measured spectrophotometrically. RESULTS The median serum ferritin level was 364.97 (142.5-579.3) ng/ml and that of ALT was 12.20 (7.4-16.7) IU/l in the subjects and were significantly higher compared with 115.31 (81.3-285.6) ng/ml and 7.74(5.9-9.9) IU/l obtained in the controls (p <0.001 in each case). TSH was significantly lower 1.45 (0.4-2.9) µIU/ml in subjects compared with 2.12 (0.7-3.6) µIU/ml obtained in the controls (p = 0.034). The mean values for T4 in the subjects was 10.19 ± 1.5 µg/dl and was significantly higher compared with that of the controls of 9.57 ± 1.5 µg/dl (p = 0.026). However, there were no significant differences in the mean values of T3, GH and Insulin between the cases and the controls. There was a strong correlation between serum ferritin level and the number of units of blood transfused in the subjects (r = 0.575, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The study found high serum ferritin level in multiply transfused SCA patients and which also correlated with the number of blood units transfused.

Abstract
Excessive Fe and Mn in groundwater of the Songnen Plain, northeast China, pose a threat to water security. Human activities over recent decades have had significant effects on the water quantity and quality of the Songnen Plain. By adopting the large city of Changchun in the Songnen Plain as a research area, this study analyzed the effects of the natural environment (including characteristics of soil and aquifer, climate, and groundwater level) and human activities (including groundwater salinization, groundwater exploitation, and nitrate effects) on groundwater Fe and Mn using statistical and spatial analysis methods. The results showed that the characteristics of soil and aquifer determine the source of groundwater Fe and Mn. The correlations between Fe and Mn with TDS (total dissolved solids) increased with increasing TDS from southeast to northwest in different microclimate regions. The salinization of groundwater caused by human activities will also lead to the increase of Fe content. The decrease in groundwater Fe and Mn was attributed to an increase in groundwater [Formula: see text], through the use of chemical fertilizers. The variation of Fe concentration in groundwater corresponded well with that of groundwater depth, but the excessive exploitation will lead to the continuous decrease in groundwater level and a corresponding decrease in the concentration of groundwater Fe. This study provides a reference for understanding the influence of human activities and the natural environment on groundwater hydrochemistry in the Songnen Plain.

Abstract
Groundwater from deep confined aquifers is often recommended for use because of it's low fluoride health risk. Thus, this study appraised groundwater fluoride hydrochemistry in a multi-aquifer system in Jilin Qianan to determine the non-carcinogenic health risk liable from exploiting the respective aquifers. 124 samples collected from the tertiary confined aquifer (N), quaternary confined aquifer (Q1), and quaternary phreatic aquifer (Q3) during surveys in 2001 and 2017 was analyzed using hydrochemical, statistical, spatial, and health risk assessment methods. Results show that the dominant water facies in the respective aquifer layers was Na+K-HCO3+CO3 except in Q1, where Ca+Mg - HCO3 + CO3 was marginally dominant. Fluoride concentrations outside the recommended guideline occurred in all the aquifers except N, where concentrations were optimum. The mean fluoride concentration of groundwater in the aquifers was of the order Q3 (2017) > Q3 (2001) > Q1 > N ( mean 2.09, 2.03, 1.41 and 0.75 mg/L with 51.85%, 57.44%, 36.36% and 0% occurring beyond recommended guideline values respectively). Silicate weathering, cation exchange, and fluorite dissolution in an alkaline environment were the significant fluoride contributing processes. Evaporation and MgF+ complex additionally influenced Q1 and Q3 (2017). The total hazard quotient (THQ) from oral and dermal pathways shows fluoride health risks in the order: infant > children > adult. The associated risks likely from using water in the respective aquifer layers is of the order Q3 (2017) > Q3 (2001) > Q1 > N. The mean groundwater fluoride in 2017 was marginally higher than that of 2001 ( 2.09>2.03 mg/L respectively) although the percentage of age group members disposed to fluoride risk from using water from Q3 decreased from 2001 to 2017. Knowledge of local hydrogeology in exploiting deep groundwater free of fluoride pollution and on-site defluoridation treatment of groundwater was recommended in the study area and other areas with similar characteristics.

Abstract
When parasitized by the Ichneumonid parasitoid Campoletis sonorensis, larvae of the Noctuid moth, Heliothis virescens, are unable to mount an effective immune response against parasitoid eggs. Defensive melanization of plasma and cellular encapsulation of parasite eggs are dramatically inhibited by infection with the symbiotic immunosuppressive C. sonorensis ichnovirus (CsIV). This study demonstrates that the CsIV-mediated inhibition of melanization is associated with reduction in the enzymatic activity and protein titer of key enzymes in the melanization pathway, phenoloxidase, dopachrome isomerase, and DOPA decarboxylase. Inhibition of the synthesis of key melanization enzymes leads to reductions in the melanization substrates l-dihydroxyphenylalanine, N-acetyldopamine, and N-beta-alanyl dopamine from millimolar to nanomolar levels in parasitized larvae. By contrast, concentration of a precursor catecholamine, dopamine, rises fourfold in these larvae. Thus in CsIV-infected larvae, enzymatic deficiencies in the melanization pathway lead to reduced concentrations of specific enzyme substrates, causing failure of melanization in parasitized insects.

Abstract
The effects of different temperatures and relative humidities (RHs) were tested on various reproductive parameters of Ornithodoros turicata, an argasid tick that inhabits gopher tortoise burrows in Florida, USA. The pre-oviposition, oviposition and incubation periods of the ticks decreased as temperature increased. These periods were also affected by the RH. The number of eggs oviposited was affected significantly by the combined effect of temperature and RH. Fewer eggs were laid by ticks in the 24 degrees C regimes and the 27 degrees C/95% RH regime compared to those in the other temperature/RH groups. There was an inverse relationship between the number of eggs oviposited and the percentage of hatched larvae that was correlated with the temperature and RH. Ticks reared at 27 degrees C/90% RH and 30 degrees C/90% RH laid more eggs than those reared in the other combinations of temperature and humidity but fewer larvae hatched from these eggs. The reproductive fitness index (RFI) values were highest in females held in the 24 degrees C groups and the 30 degrees C/95% RH group, although significantly more larvae hatched at the lower temperatures. The optimum reproductive conditions for O. turicata under laboratory conditions appear to be 24 degrees C and 90-95% RH. While mating occurred at all temperatures, none of the females laid eggs at 22 degrees C. The ticks may move preferentially to low temperatures when not feeding to remain above the critical equilibrium humidity and/or below the critical metabolic level necessary for prolonged survival. However, most female ticks oviposited after 45 days when moved to 27 degrees C/95% RH. Ornithodoros turicata females may have a limited capability to delay oviposition until an optimal microenvironment for egg deposition can be located in the burrow.
