Degradation of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in a multiphase mixed system by subaquatic gas-liquid discharge plasma

In recent years, antibiotic pollution has become a serious threat to human health. In this study, a gas-liquid discharge plasma is developed to degrade ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in a multiphase mixed system containing inorganic and organic impurities. The discharge characteristics are analyzed by diagnosing the applied voltage and discharge current waveforms, as well as the optical emission spectra. The work investigates how degradation efficiency is affected by applied voltage, gas flow rate, treatment time, initial concentration as well as the addition of γ-Al_(2)O_(3) pellets and peanut straw. After 70 min, the degradation efficiency of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride in the multiphase mixed system reached 99.6%. Its removal efficiency increases as the initial concentration decreases and the applied voltage increases. Besides, there is still a good degradation efficiency of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride with the addition of peanut straw.The degradation mechanism of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is investigated through the analysis of degraded intermediates and reactive species.

Generation of atmospheric pressure air diffuse discharge plasma in oxygen enriched working gas with floating electrode

In this work,a floating electrode is employed to generate a stable large-area diffuse discharge plasma under an open oxygen-rich environment.The discharge image and the optical emission spectra of the N2(C-B),N2+(B-X),N2(B-A),and O(3p–3s,777 nm)are measured to analyze the morphological and optical characteristics of the discharge.The effects of applied voltage,gas flow rate,and electrode gap on the reactive species,vibrational temperature and rotational temperature are investigated,and the discharge mode is discussed by simulating the electrostatic field before the breakdown.It is found that the changes of applied voltage and electrode gap causes the transition of the discharge modes among corona mode,diffuse discharge mode and spark mode.It is shown that the floating electrode can inhibit the transition from discharge to spark mode to a certain extent,which is conducive to maintaining the stability of discharge.As is vividly illustrated in this study,the increase of applied voltage or the decrease of electrode gap contributes to the generation of more active particles,such as N2(C)andN+2(B).Furthermore,the Joule heating effect becomes more evident with the increased applied voltage when the electrode gap is 15 and 20 mm.Moreover,as the applied voltage increases,the vibrational temperature increases at the electrode gap of 25 mm.

试论创新性与学术论文的选题原则

创新性是学术论文的价值所在,是否具有创新性是衡量一篇学术论文有无价值的根本标准。选择具有创新性的题目,是学术论文选题的重要原则。对某个课题提出独到的、新鲜的和有创造性的见解,在人们尚未涉足或涉足不深的领域提出新观点或在前人研究的基础上组合许多因素转移出新,都是学术论文创新性的重要体现。

Correlation between synaptic protein expression and synaptic reorganization in the hippocampal CA3 region in a rat model of post-traumatic epilepsy

Postsynaptic density protein-95 and synaptophysin participate in synaptic reorganization in the forebrain of epilepsy models. However, the time-effect relationship between dynamic synapsin expression in hippocampus and synaptic reorganization in the post-traumatic epilepsy model remains unclear. FeCI2 was injected into the hippocampal CA3 region of the right forebrain in rats to induce post-traumatic epilepsy. Postsynaptic density protein-95 and synaptophysin expression was detected using immunohistochemistry. Epileptiform discharge induced by FeCI2 injection was determined in rat forebrain neurons, revealing decreased postsynaptic density protein-95 expression at 24 hours and lowest levels at 7 days. Synaptophysin expression was markedly reduced at 24 hours, but increased at 7 days. Postsynaptic density protein-95 and synaptophysin expression was consistent with abnormal mossy fiber sprouting and synaptic reorganization following neuronal injury in the hippocampal CA3 region of FeCI2-induced epilepsy models.

Discharge characteristics and reactive species production of unipolar and bipolar nanosecond pulsed gas–liquid discharge generated in atmospheric N2

In this paper,unipolar pulse(including positive pulse and negative pulse)and bipolar pulse voltage are employed to generate diffuse gas–liquid discharge in atmospheric N2with a rumpetshaped quartz tube.The current–voltage waveforms,optical emission spectra of excited state active species,FTIR spectra of exhaust gas components,plasma gas temperature,and aqueous H2O2,NO2-,andNO3-production are compared in three pulse modes,meanwhile,the effects of pulse peak voltage and gas flow rate on the production of reactive species are studied.The results show that two obvious discharges occur in each voltage pulse in unipolar pulse driven discharge,differently,in bipolar pulse driven discharge,only one main discharge appears in a single voltage pulse time.The intensities of active species(OH(A),and O(3p))in all three pulsed discharge increase with the rise of pulse peak voltage and have the highest value at 200 ml min-1of gas flow rate.The absorbance intensities of NO2and N2O increase with the increase of pulse peak voltage and decrease with the increase of gas flow rate.Under the same discharge conditions,the bipolar pulse driven discharge shows lower breakdown voltage,and higher intensities of excited species(N2(C),OH(A),and O(3p)),nitrogen oxides(NO2,NO,and N2O),and higher production of aqueous H2O2,NO2-,andNO3-compared with both unipolar positive and negative discharges.

Super-assembly of integrated gold magnetic assay with loopmediated isothermal amplification for point-of-care testing

With the increasing global threat of various diseases and infections,it is essential to develop a fast,low-cost,and easy-to-use point-of-care testing(POCT)system for inspections at all levels of medical institutions and self-examination at home.In this work,gold magnetic nanoparticles(GMNPs)are used as the key material,and a rapid visual detection method is designed through integrating loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)and lateral flow assay(LFA)biosensor for detecting a variety of analytes which includes whole blood,buccal swabs,and DNA.It is worth to note that the proposed method does not need DNA extraction.Furthermore,uracil DNA glycosylase(UDG)is employed to eliminate carrier contamination for preventing false positive results.The whole detection process can be finished within 25 min.The accuracy of detection is measured by assessing the polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR)C677T.The detection limit of the newly developed extraction-free detection system for MTHFR C677T is 0.16 ng/μL.A preliminary clinical study of the proposed method is carried out by analyzing 600 clinical samples(including 200 whole blood samples,100 buccal swabs,and 300 genomic DNA samples).The results indicate that the proposed method is 100%consistent with the sequencing results which provides a new choice for POCT and shows a broad application prospect in all levels of medical clinics and at home.
