[Method] Soil filter was used for constructing bioreactor. Based on the resuscitation- and growth-promoting function of Resuscitation Promoting Factor (Rpf) for VBNC bacteria, VBNC bacteria were isolated by most probable number (MPN) method and dilution-plating method and 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis was carried out. [Result] In MPN culture system, Rpf could promote the resuscitation and growth of some bacteria. There were VBNC advantage floras that sensitive to Rpf in pharmaceutical wastewater. The culturable VBNC bacteria in pharmaceutical wastewater consisted of high-GC gram-positive actinomycetes including genera Mi-crobacterium, Gordonia and Leucobacter, and gram-negative bacteria including gen-era Candidimonas, Xanthobacter and Aminobacter. Four strains (ZYM1, ZYM3, ZYZR4, ZYXR1) could be potential novel species. [Conclusion] This research re-vealed there were VBNC bacteria in pharmaceutical wastewater. These results could provide important ideas and methods for further studies on VBNC bacteria in the pharmaceutical wastewater, especial y the formation mechanism and recovery mech-anism of VBNC bacteria and the advanced degradation process improvement of pharmaceutical wastewater.展开更多

Before the advancement, the pharmaceutical wastewater containing lincomycin hydrochloride was pretreated by UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge bed) and a SBR (sequencing batch reactor) process. The residual recalcitrant compounds, measured by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS), mainly consisted of alcohols, phenols, and nitrogenous and sulfur compounds. The experimental results indicated that when the Fenton's reaction was conducted at pH=3.0, H2O2CODOcr=0.27, H2O2/Fe^2+=3:1 and 30 min of reaction time, and the coagulation process operated at a sulfate aluminum concentration of 800 mg/L and pH value of 5.0, the color and COD in the wastewater decreased by 94% and 73%, respectively; with a finale COD concentration of 267 mg/L and color level of 40 units, meeting the secondary standard of GB8978-1996 for industrial wastewater.展开更多

The growth was performed in an anaerobically treated domestic wastewater using an initial plants population of 50 fronds. Increase in Relative Growth Rate—RGR—(in terms of fresh weight and number of fronds) had a significant non-linear (polynomial) relationship with the conductivity. The maximum RGR related to fresh weight of 0.176 was observed at the conductiviity of 1200 μS/cm while the maximum RGR related to fronds number was 0.193 at the conductivity of 800 μS/cm. The optimum range for duckweeds growth was found to be between conductivities of 600 μS/cm and 1400 μS/cm. The maximal rates of removal of COD of 14.5 mg/day, of 0.65 mg/day, NTK of 15.68 mg/day, faecal coliforms of 100% and turbidity of 80.8% were observed in this range. The COD and PO42- removal rates were highly correlated to the growth rate, with the correlation factor of up to 0.783 and, then to the conductivity. The NTK reduction was positively related to the conductivity.展开更多

Although modern medicine cannot cure Parkinson’s disease, I found that traditional Chinese medicine can cure Parkinson’s disease. However, because of the misunderstanding of the treatment ideas of most of Chinese doctors, they failed to achieve the goal of curing Parkinson’s disease. There are differences not only in understanding and treating Parkinson’s disease between traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine, but also in understanding within the Chinese medicine community. Because they have not been able to cure Parkinson’s disease, they draw the conclusions from modern medicine and also believe that Parkinson’s disease is an incurable lifelong disease. This paper deeply explores the problems existing in modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, puts forward new ideas for understanding and treating Parkinson’s disease, and explores the correct way to understand and cure Parkinson’s disease for the medical community to overcome Parkinson’s disease.展开更多
