Atomically dispersed ternary FeCoNb active sites anchored on N-doped honeycomb-like mesoporous carbon for highly catalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol

In the last decades, 4-nitrophenol is regarded as one of highly toxic organic pollutants in industrial wastewater, which attracts great concern to earth sustainability. Herein, atomically dispersed ternary FeCoNb active sites were incorporated into nitrogen-doped honeycomb-like mesoporous carbon (termed FeCoNb/NHC) by a two-step pyrolysis strategy, whose morphology, structure and size were characterized by a set of techniques. Further, the catalytic activity and reusability of the as-prepared FeCoNb/NHC were rigorously examined by using 4-NP catalytic hydrogenation as a proof-of-concept model. The influence of the secondary pyrolysis temperature on the catalytic performance was investigated, combined by illuminating the catalytic mechanism. The resultant catalyst exhibited significantly enhanced catalytic features with a normalized rate constant (kapp) of 1.2 × 104 min-1g-1 and superior stability, surpassing the home-made catalysts in the control groups and earlier research. This study provides some constructive insights for preparation of high-efficiency and cost-effectiveness single-atom nanocatalysts in organic pollutants environmental remediation.

Revisiting tuberculosis as a cause of gastric outlet obstruction: Insights from a case report

Gastroduodenal tuberculosis (GD-TB) is exceptionally rare. The clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal TB are diverse and non-specific, which makes diagnosis difficult, leading to delayed diagnosis and high mortality. As a peer-reviewer of World Journal of Clinical Cases, I would like to share my opinion on the article published by this journal. The patient had no family history of TB or contact with people with TB. Primary GD-TB presenting as gastric outlet obstruction and normal findings of thoracic computed tomography increased the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment in this patient. The diagnosis and treatment scheme of this typical case have reference value for the clinical treatment of GD-TB.

The application prospects of sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis linneo) in rheumatoid arthritis

Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L) (SI) is a traditional natural medicine from tropical rainforests of Amazon region in South America. As a raw material for edible oil, it has various pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemia, and blood pressure lowering, which have attracted increasing attentions of pharmacists. This has prompted researchers to explore its pharmacological effects for potential applications in certain diseases. Among these, the study of its anti-inflammatory effects has become a particularly interesting topic, especially in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a systemic autoimmune disease, and often accompanied by chronic inflammatory reactions. Despite significant progress in its treatment, there is still an urgent need to find effective anti-RA drugs in regard to safety. This review summarizes the potential therapeutic effects of SI on RA by modulating gut microbiota, targeting inflammatory cells and pathways, and mimicking biologic antibody drugs, predicting the application prospects of SI in RA, and providing references for research aimed at using SI to treat RA.

Advancing the predictive accuracy of PNTML in rectal prolapse: An ongoing quest

Fecal incontinence is a common symptom among patients with rectal prolapse. Pudendal nerve terminal motor latency (PNTML) testing can serve as a reference indicator for predicting the outcomes of rectal prolapse surgery, thereby assisting surgeons in formulating more appropriate surgical plans. The direct correlation between preoperative PNTML testing results and postoperative fecal incontinence in patients with rectal prolapse remains a contentious issue, necessitating further clarification. Thus, we analyze the existing publications from both clinical and statistical perspectives to comprehensively evaluate the accuracy of preoperative PNTML testing in rectal prolapse and provide some feasible statistical solutions.

An Inhalable Nanoshield for Effective Prevention of Influenza Virus Infections

Influenza virus (IV) infection currently poses a serious and continuing threat to the global public health. Developing effective prevention strategies is important to defend against infection and spread of IV. Here, we developed a triple-protective nanoshield against IV infection in the lungs, formed by self-assembling DSPE-PEG amphiphilic polymers encapsulating the flu-preventive antiviral drug Arbidol internally. The preventive effect of the nanoshield against virus infection includes increasing the viscosity in the surrounding environment to physically defend against viral entry, forming a hydrated layer to block the interaction between viruses and cells, and inhibiting virus replication. Our finding suggested that a single inhalation of the nanoshield provides effective protection against IV infection for at least 8 h. Thus, this nanoshield may be a potential pandemic protection agent against IV, especially in viral environments, where no prophylactic or therapeutic measures are available.

Quantitatively Dissecting Triple Roles of Dynactin in Dynein-Driven Transport of Influenza Virus by Quantum Dot-Based Single-Virus Tracking

After entering host cells by endocytosis, influenza A virus (IAV) is transported along microfilaments and then transported by dynein along microtubules (MTs) to the perinuclear region for genome release. Understanding the mechanisms of dynein-driven transport is significant for a comprehensive understanding of IAV infection. In this work, the roles of dynactin in dynein-driven transport of IAV were quantitatively dissected in situ using quantum dot-based single-virus tracking. It was revealed that dynactin was essential for dynein to transport IAV toward the nucleus. After virus entry, virus-carrying vesicles bound to dynein and dynactin before being delivered to MTs. The attachment of dynein to the vesicles was dependent on dynactin and its subunits, p150Glued and Arp1. Once viruses reached MTs, dynactin-assisted dynein initiates retrograde transport of IAV. Importantly, the retrograde transport of viruses could be initiated at both plus ends (32%) and other regions on MTs (68%). Subsequently, dynactin accompanied and assisted dynein to persistently transport the virus along MTs in the retrograde direction. This study revealed the dynactin-dependent dynein-driven transport process of IAV, enhancing our understanding of IAV infection and providing important insights into the cell's endocytic transport mechanism.

Metal nanozymes modulation of reactive oxygen species as promising strategies for cancer therapy

Nanozymes, nanostructured materials emulating natural enzyme activities, exhibit potential in catalyzing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for cancer treatment. By facilitating oxidative reactions, elevating ROS levels, and influencing the tumor microenvironment (TME), nanozymes foster the eradication of cancer cells. Noteworthy are their superior stability, ease of preservation, and cost-effectiveness compared to natural enzymes, rendering them invaluable for medical applications. This comprehensive review intricately explores the interplay between ROS and tumor therapy, with a focused examination of metal-based nanozyme strategies mitigating tumor hypoxia. It provides nuanced insights into diverse catalytic processes, mechanisms, and surface modifications of various metal nanozymes, shedding light on their role in intra-tumoral ROS generation and applications in antioxidant therapy. The review concludes by delineating specific potential prospects and challenges associated with the burgeoning use of metal nanozymes in future tumor therapies.

Revealing Different Pathways for Influenza A Virus To Reach Microtubules after Endocytosis by Quantum Dot-Based Single-Virus Tracking

Actin- and microtubule (MT)-based transport systems are essential for intracellular transport. During influenza A virus (IAV) infection, MTs provide long tracks for virus trafficking toward the nucleus. However, the role of the actin cytoskeleton in IAV entry and especially the transit process is still ambiguous. Here, by using quantum dot-based single-virus tracking, it was revealed that the actin cytoskeleton was crucial for the virus entry via clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). After entry via CME, the virus reached MTs through three different pathways: the virus (1) was driven by myosin VI to move along actin filaments to reach MTs (AF); (2) was propelled by actin tails assembled by an Arp2/3-dependent mechanism to reach MTs (AT); and (3) directly reached MTs without experiencing actin-related movement (NA). Therefore, the NA pathway was the main one and the fastest for the virus to reach MTs. The AT pathway was activated only when plenty of viruses entered the cell. The viruses transported by the AF and AT pathways shared similar moving velocities, durations, and displacements. This study comprehensively visualized the role of the actin cytoskeleton in IAV entry and transport, revealing different pathways for IAV to reach MTs after entry. The results are of great significance for globally understanding IAV infection and the cellular endocytic transport pathway.

Simultaneous Mapping of the Nanoscale Organization and Redox State of Extracellular Space in Living Brain Tissue

The spatial organization characteristics and redox status of the extracellular space (ECS) are crucial in the development of brain diseases. However, it remains a challenge to simultaneously capture dynamic changes in microstructural features and redox states at the submicron level within the ECS. Here, we developed a reversible glutathione (GSH)-responsive nanoprobe (RGN) for mapping the spatial organization features and redox status of the ECS in brain tissues with nanoscale resolution. The RGN is composed of polymer nanoparticles modified with GSH-responsive molecules and amino-functionalized methoxypoly(ethylene glycol), which exhibit exceptional single-particle brightness and excellent free diffusion capability in the ECS of brain tissues. Tracking single RGNs in acute brain slices allowed us to dynamically map spatial organizational features and redox levels within the ECS of brain tissues in disease models. This provides a powerful super-resolution imaging method that offers a potential opportunity to study the dynamic changes in the ECS microenvironment and to understand the physiological and pathological roles of the ECS in vivo.

A Cyanine with 83.2% Photothermal Conversion Efficiency and Absorption Wavelengths over 1200 nm for Photothermal Therapy

Developing small-molecule photothermal agents (PTAs) with good near-infrared-II (NIR-II) response for deeper tissue penetration and minimizing damage to healthy tissues has attracted much attention in photothermal therapy (PTT). However, concentrating ultra-long excitation wavelengths and high photothermal conversion efficiencies (PCEs) into a single organic small molecule is still challenging due to the lack of suitable molecular structures. Here, six polymethine cyanine molecules based on the structure of indocyanine green are synthesized by increasing the conjugated structure of the two-terminal indole salts and the number of rigid methine units, and incorporating longer alkyl side chains into the indole salts. Ultimately, IC-1224 is obtained with an absorption wavelength of more than 1200 nm, which has a high PCE up to 83.2% in the NIR-II window and exhibits excellent PTT tumor ablation performance. This provides a high-performance NIR-II-responsive PTA, and offers further possibilities for the application of PTT in biomedical fields.

Ratiometric Fluorescence Probes for In Situ Imaging of Membrane Tension in Live Cells

Membrane tension is an important physical parameter of describing cellular homeostasis, and it is widely used in the study of cellular processes involving membrane deformation and reorganization, such as cell migration, cell spreading, and cell division. Despite the importance of membrane tension, direct measurement remains difficult. In this work, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent probe sensitive to membrane tension by adjusting the carbon chain structure based on polarity-sensitive fluorophores. The probe is sensitive to changes in membrane tension after cells were subjected to physical or chemical stimuli, such as osmotic shock, lipid peroxidation, and mechanical stress. When the polarity of the plasma membrane increases (the green/red ratio decreases) and the membrane tension increases, the relative magnitude of the membrane tension can be quantitatively calculated by fluorescence ratio imaging. Thus, the probe proved to be an efficient and sensitive membrane tension probe.

Inhalable Polymeric Microparticles for Phage and Photothermal Synergistic Therapy of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Pneumonia

Acute methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia is a common and serious lung infection with high morbidity and mortality rates. Due to the increasing antibiotic resistance, toxicity, and pathogenicity of MRSA, there is an urgent need to explore effective antibacterial strategies. In this study, we developed a dry powder inhalable formulation which is composed of porous microspheres prepared from poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), internally loaded with indocyanine green (ICG)-modified, heat-resistant phages that we screened for their high efficacy against MRSA. This formulation can deliver therapeutic doses of ICG-modified active phages to the deep lung tissue infection sites, avoiding rapid clearance by alveolar macrophages. Combined with the synergistic treatment of phage therapy and photothermal therapy, the formulation demonstrates potent bactericidal effects in acute MRSA pneumonia. With its long-term stability at room temperature and inhalable characteristics, this formulation has the potential to be a promising drug for the clinical treatment of MRSA pneumonia.

Assessing the suitability of video-assisted anal fistula treatment for obese patients compared to conventional surgery: a question worth investigating

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Video-assisted anal fistula treatment (VAAFT) is an innovative surgical approach enabling the direct visualization of the fistula tract structure. This study aims to assess the efficacy of VAAFT in comparison with that of traditional surgical methods and explore potential risk factors contributing to fistula recurrence to provide new recommendations for surgical selection.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Information was collected from 100 patients with complex anal fistula (CAF) in our hospital who underwent surgical treatment from January 2021 to January 2023. We compared the baseline information and surgical outcomes of two groups, analyzed the risk factors for fistula recurrence by using logistic regression analysis, and conducted further exploration by using the body mass index.

RESULTS

Equal numbers of patients underwent VAAFT and traditional surgeries, and no significant differences in baseline information were observed. Patients who received VAAFT experienced less intraoperative bleeding (15.5 (14.0-20.0) vs. 32.0 (25.0-36.0)), shorter hospital stays (2.0 (2.0-2.5) vs. 3.0 (3.0-3.5)), reduced postoperative pain and wound discharge, but longer operative times (43.3 ± 6.9 vs. 35.0 (31.5-40.0)) compared with patients who underwent traditional surgeries. No significant differences in recurrence rates were found three and six months after operation (the p-values were 0.790 and 0.806, respectively). However, the Wexner scores of the VAAFT group were significantly low in the first follow-up (0 (0-1.0) vs. 2.0 (1.0-2.0)). Postoperative recurrence of fistulas may be associated with obesity (p-value = 0.040), especially in patients undergoing traditional surgeries (p-value = 0.036).

CONCLUSION

VAAFT offers advantages, such as less pain, less trauma, and faster recovery, compared with traditional surgical treatment. Obese patients with CAF are prone to recurrence, and we recommend that they undergo VAAFT treatment rather than traditional surgeries.

Association between fatty acids intake and bone mineral density in adolescents aged 12-19: NHANES 2011-2018

Background

The relationship between the intake of dietary fatty acids (FA) and bone mineral density (BMD) has been the subject of prior investigations. However, the outcomes of these studies remain contentious. The objective of this research is to examine the link between dietary FA consumption among adolescents and BMD.

Methods

This study utilized high-quality data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database, spanning 2011 to 2018, to explore the association between dietary fatty acids and bone health indicators in adolescents, including BMD and bone mineral content (BMC). Analyses were performed using weighted multivariate linear regression models, incorporating detailed subgroup analysis.

Results

The study included 3440 participants. Analysis demonstrated that intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was positively correlated with total BMD, left arm BMD, total BMC, and left arm BMC. Monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) intake was positively correlated with BMC across most body parts, though it showed no correlation with BMD. Intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) was significantly inversely correlated with both BMD and BMC in most body parts. Additionally, subgroup analysis indicated that variables such as sex, age, standing height, and race significantly influenced the correlation between FA intake and BMD.

Conclusions

Our study indicates that dietary intake of SFA may benefit to BMD in adolescents, in contrast to PUFA and MUFA. Therefore, we recommend that adolescents maintain a balanced intake of SFA to promote optimal bone mass development while preserving metabolic health.

Regulation of Protein Conformation Enables Cell-Selective Targeting of Virus-Mimicking Nanoparticles for siRNA Therapy of Glioblastoma

Orthotopic glioblastoma (GBM) has an aggressive growth pattern and complex pathogenesis, becoming one of the most common and deadly tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). The emergence of RNA therapies offers promise for the treatment of GBM. However, the efficient and precise delivery of RNA drugs to specific tumor cells in the brain with high cellular heterogeneity remains ongoing. Here, a strategy is proposed to regulate protein conformation through lipid nanoenvironments to custom-design virus-mimicking nanoparticles (VMNs) with excellent selective cell targeting capabilities, leading to efficient and precise delivery of small interfering RNA for effective treatment of GBM. The optimized VMNs not only retain the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and release the RNA by lysosomal escape like natural viruses but also ensure precise enrichment in the GBM area. This study lays the conceptual foundation for the custom design of VMNs with superior cell-selective targeting capabilities and opens up the possibility of RNA therapies for the efficient treatment of GBM and CNS tumors.

Silica nanoparticle design for colorectal cancer treatment: Recent progress and clinical potential

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer death. Nanotherapies are able to selectively target the delivery of cancer therapeutics, thus improving overall antitumor efficiency and reducing conventional chemotherapy side effects. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have attracted the attention of many researchers due to their remarkable advantages and biosafety. We offer insights into the recent advances of MSNs in CRC treatment and their potential clinical application value.

NIR-II Fluorescence Imaging for In Vivo Quantitative Analysis

In vivo real-time qualitative and quantitative analysis is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as tumors. Near-infrared-II (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) bioimaging is an emerging visualization modality based on fluorescent materials. The advantages of NIR-II region fluorescent materials in terms of reduced photon scattering and low tissue autofluorescence enable NIR-II bioimaging with high resolution and increasing depth of tissue penetration, and thus have great potential for in vivo qualitative and quantitative analysis. In this review, we first summarize recent advances in NIR-II imaging, including fluorescent probe selection, quantitative analysis strategies, and imaging. Then, we describe in detail representative applications to illustrate how NIR-II fluorescence imaging has become an important tool for in vivo quantitative analysis. Finally, we describe the future possibilities and challenges of NIR-II fluorescence imaging.

In Situ Quantitative Imaging of Plasma Membrane Stiffness in Live Cells Using a Genetically Encoded FRET Sensor

Cell membrane stiffness is critical for cellular function, with cholesterol and sphingomyelin as pivot contributors. Current methods for measuring membrane stiffness are often invasive, ex situ, and slow in process, prompting the need for innovative techniques. Here, we present a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based protein sensor designed to address these challenges. The sensor consists of two fluorescent units targeting sphingomyelin and cholesterol, connected by a linker that responds to the proximity of these lipids. In rigid membranes, cholesterol and sphingomyelin are in close proximity, leading to an increased FRET signal. We utilized this sensor in combination with confocal microscopy to explore changes in plasma membrane stiffness under various conditions, including differences in osmotic pressure, the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and variations in substrate stiffness. Furthermore, we explored the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on membrane stiffness and the distribution of ACE2 after attachment to the cell membrane. This tool offers substantial potential for future investigations in the field of mechanobiology.

Electrochemiluminescence-Based Single-Particle Tracking of the Biomolecules Moving along Intercellular Membrane Nanotubes between Live Cells

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging, a rapidly evolving technology, has attracted significant attention in the field of cellular imaging. However, its primary limitation lies in its inability to analyze the motion behaviors of individual particles in live cellular environments. In this study, we leveraged the exceptional ECL properties of quantum dots (QDs) and the excellent electrochemical properties of carbon dots (CDs) to develop a high-brightness ECL nanoprobe (CDs-QDs) for real-time ECL imaging between living cells. This nanoprobe has excellent signal-to-noise ratio imaging capabilities for the single-particle tracking (SPT) of biomolecules. Our finding elucidated the enhanced ECL mechanism of CDs-QDs in the presence of reactive oxygen species through photoluminescence, electrochemistry, and ECL techniques. We further tracked the movement of single particles on membrane nanotubes between live cells and confirmed that the ECL-based SPT technique using CD-QD nanoparticles is an effective approach for monitoring the transport behaviors of biomolecules on membrane nanotubes between live cells. This opens a promising avenue for the advancement of ECL-based single-particle detection and the dynamic quantitative imaging of biomolecules.

Mapping Extracellular Space Features of Viral Encephalitis to Evaluate the Proficiency of Anti-Viral Drugs

The extracellular space (ECS) is an important barrier against viral attack on brain cells, and dynamic changes in ECS microstructure characteristics are closely related to the progression of viral encephalitis in the brain and the efficacy of antiviral drugs. However, mapping the precise morphological and rheological features of the ECS in viral encephalitis is still challenging so far. Here, a robust approach is developed using single-particle diffusional fingerprinting of quantum dots combined with machine learning to map ECS features in the brain and predict the efficacy of antiviral encephalitis drugs. These results demonstrated that this approach can characterize the microrheology and geometry of the brain ECS at different stages of viral infection and identify subtle changes induced by different drug treatments. This approach provides a potential platform for drug proficiency assessment and is expected to offer a reliable basis for the clinical translation of drugs.

[Temporal-spatial evolution of the integrated landscape patterns in the Zhengzhou Metropolitan Area based on nighttime light data]

Metropolitan integration development refers to the interconnection between cities and the coordinated development of various aspects such as economy, society, culture, and nature, which is the goal of metropolitan area development. With the Zhengzhou metropolitan area as the research area and based on nighttime light data from 2012 to 2021, we comprehensively used landscape index and landscape morphology spatial pattern analysis methods, systematically evaluated the integration process of the metropolitan area from the perspective of spatial expansion and spatial connection, analyzed the spatiotemporal variations of the landscape pattern of the metropolitan area, and revealed the spatiotemporal expansion and connection patterns of the metropolitan area. The results showed that the area of the Zhengzhou metropolitan area expanded year by year from 2012 to 2021, with the number of landscape patches continuously increasing, showing an agglomeration phenomenon. In the metropolitan area, there was a trend towards stability and multi-directional coordinated growth. The contribution of non-central cities to expansion increased annually, while the expansion patterns of various constituent cities gradually shifted from internal filling to external expansion. The connection scale within the metropolitan area had been expanding annually, with enhanced intercity connections. Intercity connection belts and channels for material and information exchange were emerging, and the integrated network of urban agglomeration connections was gradually forming. Metropolitan integration planning provided positive guidance for the development of metropolitan areas. We should fully leverage the driving effects of metropolitan areas, pay attention to the integration of Zhengzhou-Kaifeng and Zhengzhou-Xuchang, promote the formation of emerging growth poles in Xinxiang and Jiaozuo, as well as regional coordinated development, strengthen the network of policies, economy, transportation, information, etc., and form a diversified and integrated development situation.

Transcription factor PbNAC71 regulates xylem and vessel development to control plant height

Dwarfism is an important agronomic trait in fruit breeding programs. However, the germplasm resources required to generate dwarf pear (Pyrus spp.) varieties are limited. Moreover, the mechanisms underlying dwarfism remain unclear. In this study, "Yunnan" quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) had a dwarfing effect on "Zaosu" pear. Additionally, the dwarfism-related NAC transcription factor gene PbNAC71 was isolated from pear trees comprising "Zaosu" (scion) grafted onto "Yunnan" quince (rootstock). Transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana and pear OHF-333 (Pyrus communis) plants overexpressing PbNAC71 exhibited dwarfism, with a substantially smaller xylem and vessel area relative to the wild-type controls. Yeast one-hybrid, dual-luciferase, chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR, and electrophoretic mobility shift assays indicated that PbNAC71 downregulates PbWalls are thin 1 expression by binding to NAC-binding elements in its promoter. Yeast two-hybrid assays showed that PbNAC71 interacts with the E3 ubiquitin ligase PbRING finger protein 217 (PbRNF217). Furthermore, PbRNF217 promotes the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of PbNAC71 by the 26S proteasome, thereby regulating plant height as well as xylem and vessel development. Our findings reveal a mechanism underlying pear dwarfism and expand our understanding of the molecular basis of dwarfism in woody plants.

[Absorption of Ammonium by Three Substrates Materials in Constructed Wetland System]

The adsorption characteristics of ammonia nitrogen for constructed wetland were studied with ceramsite, quartz sand, and gravel. The material was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and a BET-specific surface area analyzer. It was found that the surface of ceramide was coarser than that of quartz sand and gravel, and the internal pores were more developed. The specific surface area of ceramide (18.97 m2·g-1) was higher than that of quartz sand and gravel. In the pure ammonia nitrogen solution and Grade I B standard for the wastewater treatment plant effluent ammonia nitrogen solution of the effluent from the simulated sewage plant, the adsorption capacity of the three substrates was as follows:ceramsite > gravel > quartz sand. The saturated adsorption capacity (63.55 m2·g-1) of ceramides was the highest in the mixed solution. The adsorption process of ammonia nitrogen by ceramides accorded with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 of 0.99 in the pure ammonia nitrogen solution and 0.98 in the mixed solution). The Freundlich and Langmuir models were used to fit the isothermal adsorption results in a pure ammonia nitrogen solution. It was found that the Freundlich model described the adsorption characteristics of the ceramics more accurately than the Langmuir model (R2=0.93), indicating that the adsorption of ammonia nitrogen by the ceramics was multilayer adsorption. In conclusion, the adsorption capacity of ceramide was strong, and the adsorption capacity of ceramide in the mixed solution was 31% higher than that in the pure ammonia nitrogen solution, which was suitable to be used as the matrix filler of constructed wetland.
