The photocatalytic removal of phenol was studied using palygorskite-SnO2-TiO2 composites (abbreviated as Paly-SnO2-TiO2) under ultraviolet radiation. The photocatalysts were prepared by attachment of SnO2-TiO2 oxides onto the surface of the palygorskite by in situ sol-gel technique. The products were characterized by XRD. TEM and BET measurements. SnO2-TiO2 nanoparticles, with an average diameter of about 10 nm, covered the surface of the palygorskite fibers without obvious aggregation. Compared with palygorskite-titania (Paly-TiO2), palygorskite-tin dioxide (Paly-SnO2), and Degussa P25, Paly-SnO2-TiO2 and SnO2-TiO2 exhibited much higher photocatalytic activity. The photodecomposition of phenol was as high as 99.8% within 1.5 h. The apparent rate constants (k(app)) for Paly-SnO2-TiO2. TiO2, and P25 were measured. Paly-SnO2-TiO2 showed the highest rate constant (0.03435 min(-1)). The chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the phenol solution was reduced from 220.2 mg/L to 0.21 mg/L, indicating the almost complete decomposition of phenol. Reusability of the photocatalyst was proved.

The effect of different biocrusts on soil hydraulic properties in the Tengger Desert, China

Wei Shi, Yan-xia Pan, Ya-feng Zhang, Rui Hu, Xin-ping Wang

Summary: Water redistribution has a profound impact on the function of dryland ecosystems. Biological soil crusts (BSCs or biocrusts), which cover a large portion of arid land soil surface, have conflicting effects on water redistribution at a regional scale. This study clarified the effects of different biocrusts on soil hydraulic properties in the Tengger Desert. The results showed that biocrusts significantly altered soil hydraulic properties, including water holding capacity, soil hydrophobicity, water sorptivity, and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. Understanding the role of biocrusts in hydraulic properties can help improve our understanding of soil water distribution, movement, and retention in the area.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of head-of-bed elevation on patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). The results showed that elevating the head of the bed by 30 degrees can significantly reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), but did not have statistical differences on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and disability at 90 days. Therefore, head-of-bed elevation of 30 degrees may be an effective noninvasive nursing practice for the prognosis and rehabilitation of ABI patients.

Charged particle therapy for high-grade gliomas in adults: a systematic review

Yuhang Wang, Ruifeng Liu, Qiuning Zhang, Meng Dong, Dandan Wang, Junru Chen, Yuhong Ou, Hongtao Luo, Kehu Yang, Xiaohu Wang

Summary: High-grade gliomas remain difficult to treat despite standard therapy. Charged particle beams, especially carbon ion beams, have the potential to improve treatment outcomes. This systematic review assessed the safety, efficacy, and dosimetry of carbon-ion or proton radiotherapy for high-grade gliomas. The analysis of eleven eligible articles showed that charged particle radiotherapy was effective with manageable side effects. Carbon ion boost appeared to be superior to proton boost, but dose-escalation using proton boost was associated with severe brain necrosis. Further randomized control trials are needed, along with systemic therapeutic options.

Genome-Wide Identification and Evolution Analysis of the CYP76 Subfamily in Rice (Oryza sativa)

Mingao Zhou, Yifei Jiang, Xuhui Liu, Weilong Kong, Chenhao Zhang, Jian Yang, Simin Ke, Yangsheng Li

Summary: The CYP76 subfamily, which belongs to the CYP superfamily, is crucial for phytohormone biosynthesis and response to environmental stresses in plants. Genome-wide analysis of the CYP76 subfamily in seven AA genome species revealed three groups, with Group 1 having the largest number of members. Analysis of cis-acting elements showed a high number of elements related to jasmonic acid and light response. Gene duplication analysis indicated expansion mainly through SD/WGD and tandem forms, with strong purifying selection during evolution. Expression pattern analysis showed that OsCYP76s exhibit restricted expression patterns in leaves and roots. qRT-PCR analysis of CYP76s under abiotic stresses revealed specific response patterns and functional divergence between japonica and indica rice. These findings provide valuable insights into the functional diversity and evolution of the CYP76 subfamily and have implications for improving stress tolerance and agronomic traits in rice.

Preparation of a UV anti-aging and superhydrophobic self-cleaning coating by loading nano-rutile on sericite and being modified with HDTMS

Xuan Wang, Hao Ding, Zhuoqun Xu, Jianmeng Zhang, Yanbin Yao

Summary: Rutile nano-TiO2 was loaded onto the surface of sericite to prepare sericite-rutile composite particles, which were then modified with HDTMS and sprayed onto the substrates to form sericite-rutile/HDTMS composite coatings with UV shielding and superhydrophobic self-cleaning properties. The coating exhibited good UV shielding rate and remained superhydrophobic after UV irradiation. The hierarchical structure of the sericite-rutile composite and the low surface energy of HDTMS contributed to the superhydrophobicity and UV shielding effect of the coating.

Environmental significance of kaolinite variability over the last centuries in crater lake sediments from Central Mexico

Nathalie Fagel, Isabel Israde-Alcantara, Reza Safaierad, Marttiina Rantala, Sabine Schmidt, Gilles Lepoint, Pierre Pellenard, Nadine Mattielli, Sarah Metcalfe

Summary: Environmental conditions significantly influence clay minerals, and studying clay sediments in tropical lakes can provide valuable insights into past environmental conditions. In this study, multiproxy records from sediment cores of three crater lakes in central Mexico were analyzed. The results showed that disordered kaolinite, formed through hydrolysis and hydrothermal alteration, was the predominant mineral in the sediments. The abundance of kaolinite varied in relation to organic carbon and organic matter-related elements, and showed opposite trends with lithogenic elements. Geochemical data suggested that the increase in kaolinite abundance is linked to the formation of organo-mineral aggregates and lake level changes in closed basins.
