THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 947:174568. [PMID: 38977093 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
The relationship between co-exposure to multiple metals and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. In this nested case-control study, 228 GDM cases and 456 matched controls were recruited, and biological samples were collected at 12-14 gestational weeks. The urinary concentrations of 10 metals and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as well as the serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were determined to assess the association of metals with GDM risk and the mediating effects of oxidative stress. Urinary Ti concentration was significantly and positively associated with the risk of GDM (odds ratio [OR]:1.45, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.12, 1.88), while Mn and Fe were negatively associated with GDM risk (OR: 0.67, 95 % CI: 0.50, 0.91 or OR: 0.61, 95 % CI: 0.47, 0.80, respectively). A significant negative association was observed between Mo and GDM risk, specifically in overweight and obese pregnant women. Bayesian kernel machine regression showed a significant negative joint effect of the mixture of 10 metals on GDM risk. The adjusted restricted cubic spline showed a protective role of Mn and Fe in GDM risk (P < 0.05). A significant negative association was observed between essential metals and GDM risk in quantile g-computation analysis (P < 0.05). Mediation analyses showed a mediating effect of MDA on the association between Ti and GDM risk, with a proportion of 8.7 % (P < 0.05), and significant direct and total effects on Ti, Mn, and Fe. This study identified Ti as a potential risk factor and Mn, Fe, and Mo as potential protective factors against GDM, as well as the mediating effect of lipid oxidation.

Enhanced cavitation dose and reactive oxygen species production in microbubble-mediated sonodynamic therapy for inhibition of Escherichia coli and biofilm. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 105:106853. [PMID: 38537561 PMCID: PMC10988124 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2024] [Revised: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is an emerging antibacterial therapy. This work selected hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) as the sonosensitizer, and studied the enhanced inhibition effect of Escherichia coli and biofilm by microbubble-mediated cavitation in SDT. Firstly, the influence of microbubble-mediated cavitation effect on different concentrations of HMME (10 µg/ml, 30 µg/ml, 50 µg/ml) was studied. Using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as an indicator, the effect of microbubble-mediated cavitation on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was studied by absorption spectroscopy. Secondly, using agar medium, laser confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, the effect of microbubble-mediated cavitation on the activity and morphology of bacteria was studied. Finally, the inhibitory effect of cavitation combined with SDT on biofilm was evaluated by laser confocal microscopy. The research results indicate that: (1) Microbubble-mediated ultrasound cavitation can significantly increase cavitation intensity and production of ROS. (2) Microbubble-mediated acoustic cavitation can alter the morphological structure of bacteria. (3) It can significantly enhance the inhibition of SDT on the activity of Escherichia coli and its biofilm. Compared with the control group, the addition of microbubbles resulted in an increase in the number of dead bacteria by 61.7 %, 71.6 %, and 76.2 %, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of the biofilm decreased by 27.1 %, 80.3 %, and 98.2 %, respectively. On the basis of adding microbubbles to ensure antibacterial and biofilm inhibition effects, this work studied the influence of cavitation effect in SDT on bacterial structure, providing a foundation for further revealing the intrinsic mechanism of SDT.

Abstract
As emerging contaminants, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been widely detected in various aqueous environments. For antibiotic resistance to be inhibited in the environment, it is essential to control ARB and ARGs. In this study, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma was used to inactivate antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli (AR E. coli) and remove ARGs simultaneously. Within 15 s of plasma treatment, 108 CFU/mL of AR E. coli were inactivated by 97.9%. The rupture of the bacterial cell membrane and the increase of intracellular ROS are the main reasons for the rapid inactivation of bacteria. Intracellular ARGs (i-qnrB, i-blaCTX-M, i-sul2) and integron gene (i-int1) decreased by 2.01, 1.84, 2.40, and 2.73 log after 15 min of plasma treatment, respectively. In the first 5 min of discharge, extracellular ARGs (e-qnrB, e-blaCTX-M, e-sul2) and integron gene (e-int1) decreased by 1.99, 2.22, 2.66, and 2.80 log, respectively. The results of the ESR and quenching experiments demonstrated that ·OH and 1O2 played important roles in the removal of ARGs. This study shows that DBD plasma is an effective technique to control ARB and ARGs in waters.

Abstract
An efficient microbiological decontamination protocol is required to guarantee safe food products for the final consumer to avoid foodborne illnesses. Ultrasound and non-thermal technology combinations represent innovative methods adopted by the food industry for food preservation and safety. Ultrasound power is commonly used with a frequency between 20 and 100 kHz to obtain an “exploit cavitation effect”. Microbial inactivation via ultrasound derives from cell wall damage, the oxidation of intracellular amino acids and DNA changing material. As an inactivation method, it is evaluated alone and combined with other non-thermal technologies. The evidence shows that ultrasound is an important green technology that has a good decontamination effect and can improve the shelf-life of products. This review aims to describe the applicability of ultrasound in the food industry focusing on microbiological decontamination, reducing bacterial alterations caused by food spoilage strains and relative foodborne intoxication/infection.

Abstract
Food safety and food waste have always been hot topics of discussion in recent years. However, the infection of human pathogenic bacteria and the waste of food resources caused by microbial-contaminated food remains common. Although traditional sterilization technology has been very mature, it causes changes in food flavor and excessive energy consumption to a certain extent. Moreover, the widespread bacterial resistance has also sounded a warning for researchers and finding a new alternative to antibiotics is urgently needed. The application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in medical treatment has aroused the interest of researchers. It provides ideas for new food sterilization technology. As a new non-thermal sterilization technology, sonodynamic sterilization technology has strong penetration, safety, less residue and by-products, and will less change the quality of the food itself. Therefore, sonodynamic sterilization technology has great potential applied in food sterilization technology. This review describes the concept of sonodynamic sterilization technology, the sterilization mechanism of sonodynamic sterilization and the inactivation mechanism of various pathogens, the classification and application of sonosensitizers, and the ultrasonic technology in sonodynamic sterilization in the application over the recent years. It provides a scientific reference for the application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in the field of food sterilization.

Abstract
How double-membraned Gram-negative bacteria overcome lipid peroxidation is virtually unknown. Bactericidal antibiotics and superoxide ion stress stimulate the transcription of the Burkholderia cenocepacia bcnA gene that encodes a secreted lipocalin. bcnA gene orthologs are conserved in bacteria and generally linked to a conserved upstream gene encoding a cytochrome b561 membrane protein (herein named lcoA, lipocalin-associated cytochrome oxidase gene). Mutants in bcnA, lcoA, and in a gene encoding a conserved cytoplasmic aldehyde reductase (peroxidative stress-associated aldehyde reductase gene, psrA) display enhanced membrane lipid peroxidation. Compared to wild type, the levels of the peroxidation biomarker malondialdehyde (MDA) increase in the mutants upon exposure to sublethal concentrations of the bactericidal antibiotics polymyxin B and norfloxacin. Microscopy with lipid peroxidation-sensitive fluorescent probes shows that lipid peroxyl radicals accumulate at the bacterial cell poles and septum and peroxidation is associated with a redistribution of anionic phospholipids and reduced antimicrobial resistance in the mutants. We conclude that BcnA, LcoA, and PsrA are components of an evolutionary conserved, hitherto unrecognized peroxidation detoxification system that protects the bacterial cell envelope from lipid peroxyl radicals.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the main public health issues in modern society. Ultrasonicantimicrobial treatment (UAT) is expected to solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance since ultrasonic treatment does not cause drug resistance during inactivation. However, the ultrasonic application is hindered due to the high energy cost. To cast more lights on the ultrasound in tandem with catalysts as a superior strategy for bacterial inactivation, the present review focuses on the UAT with the assistant of continuous development of organic sonosensitizer and inorganic sonocatalyst. With the application of these nanomaterials, the ultrasonic parameters changed from low-frequency and high-power ultrasound to high-frequency and low-power ultrasound. The review also presents the composition of sonosensitizers/sonocatalysts including organic and inorganic nanoparticles and discusses the ultrasonic activation mechanisms triggered by these catalysts. Based on the synergistic effect of ultrasound and catalysts, we discuss the importance of extracellular oxidation and intracellular oxidation in the process of bacterial inactivation. Overall, UAT combined with catalysts appears to be an effective treatment strategy that can be successfully applied in the field of medicine, environmental treatment, and food industry.

Abstract
Sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT), which relies on a combination of low-intensity ultrasound and chemotherapeutic agents termed sonosensitizers, has been explored as a promising alternative for microbial inactivation. Such treatment has superior penetration ability, high target specificity, and can overcome resistance conferred by the local microenvironment. Taken of these advantages, SACT has been endowed with an extensive application prospect in the past decade and attracted more and more attention. This review focusses on the current understanding of the mechanism of SACT, the interaction of sonodynamic action on different microbes, the factors affecting the efficacy of SACT, discusses the findings of recent works on SACT, and explores further prospects for SACT. Thus, a better understanding of sonodynamic killing facilitates the scientific community and industry personnel to establish a novel strategy to combat microbial burden.

Abstract
This study demonstrated that multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) could mitigate copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs)-induced inhibition to acidogenic metabolism of propionic acid bacteria (i.e., Propionibacterium acidipropionici) by regulating carbon source utilization. CuO NPs severely inhibited the growth of P. acidipropionici, damaged its cell membrane, and down-regulated gene expressions and enzyme activities involved in acidogenic metabolism, thereby decreasing propionate production. However, although MWCNTs had a slightly negative impact on the growth and cell membrane, the gene expressions and catalytic activities were enhanced (glycolysis and pyruvate metabolism), resulting in the improved propionate production. Additionally, the gene expressions and catalytic activities of key enzymes (e.g., tpiA, pgk, PK, OTTAC, etc.) related to acidogenic metabolism were also enhanced by the co-existence of both nanomaterials, thereby promoting propionate production towards P. acidipropionici. This work demonstrated that the presence of MWCNTs could affect the inhibition of CuO NPs to fermentation processes via regulating carbon source utilization.

Abstract
This study evaluated a synergistic antimicrobial treatment using a combination of low frequency and a low-intensity ultrasound (LFU) and a food-grade antioxidant, propyl gallate (PG), against a model gram-positive (Listeria innocua) and the gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli O157:H7). Bacterial inactivation kinetic measurements were complemented by characterization of biophysical changes in liposomes, changes in bacterial membrane permeability, morphological changes in bacterial cells, and intracellular oxidative stress upon treatment with PG, LFU, and a combination of PG + LFU. Combination of PG + LFU significantly (>4 log CFU/mL, P < 0.05) enhanced the inactivation of both L. innocua and E. coli O157:H7 compared to PG or LFU treatment. As expected, L. innocua had a significantly higher resistance to inactivation compared to E. coli using a combination of PG + LFU. Biophysical measurements in liposomes, bacterial permeability measurements, and scanning electron microscope (SEM)-based morphological measurements show rapid interactions of PG with membranes. Upon extended treatment of cells with PG + LFU, a significant increase in membrane damage was observed compared to PG or LFU alone. A lack of change in the intracellular thiol content following the combined treatment and limited effectiveness of exogenously added antioxidants in attenuating the synergistic antimicrobial action demonstrated that oxidative stress was not a leading mechanism responsible for the synergistic inactivation by PG + LFU. Overall, the study illustrates synergistic inactivation of bacteria using a combination of PG + LFU based on enhanced membrane damage and its potential for applications in the food and environmental systems.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to perform a systematic review of the literature followed by a meta-analysis about the efficacy of sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT) in bacterial infections. Methods: According to the PICOS (population, intervention, comparison and outcome) recommendations and PRISMA guidelines, an electronic search was conducted in PubMed, SCOPUS, Embase, and Cochrane Library based on the MeSH terms. All analyses were conducted using Biostat's Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2.0. The inter-study heterogeneity and publication bias assessments were carried out on the studies using I2 and the Egger's regression test. Results: Initially, 126 articles were identified in the electronic search, and 14 studies remained after analysis and exclusion of the duplicated studies and eligibility criteria. All results from the included studies displayed a significant reduction of microorganisms. The meta-analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in the bacterial load in all analyses (0.944% [95% CI, 0.901-0.969%; P=0.000]). Also, there was a low risk of bias for microbial load reduction without the evidence of publication bias. Conclusion: The results highlight that there is scientific evidence emphasizing the effectiveness of SACT in reducing the count of microorganisms in bacterial infections.

Abstract
A sudden decrease in pressure triggers the formation of vapour and gas bubbles inside a liquid medium (also called cavitation). This leads to many (key) engineering problems: material loss, noise, and vibration of hydraulic machinery. On the other hand, cavitation is a potentially useful phenomenon: the extreme conditions are increasingly used for a wide variety of applications such as surface cleaning, enhanced chemistry, and wastewater treatment (bacteria eradication and virus inactivation). Despite this significant progress, a large gap persists between the understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to the effects of cavitation and its application. Although engineers are already commercializing devices that employ cavitation, we are still not able to answer the fundamental question: What precisely are the mechanisms how bubbles can clean, disinfect, kill bacteria and enhance chemical activity? The present paper is a thorough review of the recent (from 2005 onward) work done in the fields of cavitation-assisted microorganism's destruction and aims to serve as a foundation to build on in the next years.

Abstract
The fast development of photoactivation for cancer treatment provides an efficient photo-therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, but traditional photodynamic or photothermal therapy suffers from the critical issue of low in vivo penetration depth of tissues. As a non-invasive therapeutic modality, sonodynamic therapy (SDT) can break the depth barrier of photoactivation because ultrasound has an intrinsically high tissue-penetration performance. Micro/nanoparticles can efficiently augment the SDT efficiency based on nanobiotechnology. The state-of-art of the representative achievements on micro/nanoparticle-enhanced SDT is summarized, and specific functions of micro/nanoparticles for SDT are discussed, from the different viewpoints of ultrasound medicine, material science and nanobiotechnology. Emphasis is put on the relationship of structure/composition-SDT performance of micro/nanoparticle-based sonosensitizers. Three types of micro/nanoparticle-augmented SDT are discussed, including organic and inorganic sonosensitizers and micro/nanoparticle-based but sonosensitizer-free strategies to enhance the SDT outcome. SDT-based synergistic cancer therapy augmented by micro/nanoparticles and their biosafety are also included. Some urgent critical issues and potential developments of micro/nanoparticle-augmented SDT for efficient cancer treatment are addressed. It is highly expected that micro/nanoparticle-augmented SDT will be quickly developed as a new and efficient therapeutic modality which will find practical applications in cancer treatment. At the same time, fundamental disciplines regarding materials science, chemistry, medicine and nanotechnology will be advanced.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates ultrasound-induced cell injury using a nickel-titanium dioxide (Ni-TiO2) alloy plate as a sonocatalyst and a cell culture surface. Ultrasound irradiation of cell-free Ni-TiO2 alloy plates with 1 MHz ultrasound at 0.5 W/cm(2) for 30s led to an increased generation of hydroxyl (OH) radicals compared to nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) control alloy plates with and without ultrasound irradiation. When human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 cells) cultured on the Ni-TiO2 alloy plates were irradiated with 1 MHz ultrasound at 0.5 W/cm(2) for 30s and then incubated for 48 h, cell density on the alloy plate was reduced to approximately 50% of the controls on the Ni-Ti alloy plates with and without ultrasound irradiation. These results indicate the injury of MCF-7 cells following sonocatalytic OH radical generation by Ni-TiO2. Further experiments demonstrated cell shrinkage and chromatin condensation after ultrasound irradiation of MCF-7 cells attached on the Ni-TiO2 alloy plates, indicating induction of apoptosis.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) relies on the ability of ultrasound to activate sonosensitisers and trigger the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to achieve cell death. SDT was explored as an anticancer approach until 6 years ago, when its potential application as an antimicrobial strategy was pointed out and the term "sonoantimicrobial chemotherapy" (SACT) was coined. The excellent penetration of ultrasound in liquid media make SACT a particularly promising approach for the non-invasive treatment of deep-seated infections, and for the reduction of bacterial load in turbid water. In this review we provide an account of the brief history of SACT, from its molecular bases to the current state of the art and perspective applications.

Abstract
Over the past 5 years, several studies showed that ultrasound, which is sound with a frequency>20 kHz, is able to kill bacteria by activating molecules termed sonosensitizers (SS) to produce reactive oxygen species, which are toxic to microbes. It is our opinion that this work opens up the potential for the development of a novel form of ultrasound-mediated antimicrobial therapy. Termed sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT), we define this therapy as a regime where a SS is selectively delivered to target microbial cells and activated by ultrasound to induce the death of those microbial cells. Here, we review recent work on SACT, current understanding of its mechanisms, and future prospects for SACT as a therapeutically viable antimicrobial regime.

Abstract
This is the first study to demonstrate sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection using titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) as an anode for effective inactivation of Escherichia coli. In brief, a non-woven TiO(2) fabric used as an anode and a platinum cathode were immersed in an E. coli suspension in which a positive potential was applied to TiO(2) concomitant with ultrasound (US) irradiation. Two control experiments were performed using E. coli suspensions to exhibit the effects of the sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection. One was disinfection by applying a positive potential to a TiO(2) electrode, but without US irradiation (electrochemical disinfection). The other was disinfection without applying a potential, but with US irradiation in the presence of TiO(2) (sonocatalytic disinfection). The cell inactivation rate in sonoelectrocatalytic disinfection was synergistically much more enhanced than the combined inactivation rates in electrochemical disinfection and sonocatalytic disinfection. This synergistically enhanced inactivation rate of E. coli cells was attributable to effective reaction of the sonocatalytically generated OH radicals with E. coli cells at the surface of the TiO(2) anode, which resulted from the electroadsorption of E. coli cells toward the TiO(2) anode.

Abstract
In this work, the TiO2, CeO2/TiO2 and Fe2O3/TiO2 powders were irradiated, respectively, by ultrasound and visible-light, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were estimated by the method of Oxidation-Extraction Photometry (OEP). That is, the 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) can be oxidized by generated ROS into 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO), which can be extracted by mixed solvent of benzene and carbon tetrachloride. The DPCO extract liquor displays an obvious absorbance at 563 nm wavelength. In addition, some influencing factors, such as (ultrasonic or visible-light) irradiation time, catalyst addition amount and DPCI concentration, on the generation of ROS were also reviewed. The results indicated that the quantities of generated ROS increase with the increase of (ultrasonic or visible-light) irradiation time and catalyst addition amount. Moreover, the displayed quantities of ROS are also related with DPCI concentration. And then, several radical scavengers were used to determine the kinds of the generated ROS. At last, the researches on the sonocatalytic and photocatalytic degradation of several organic dyes have also been performed. It is wished that this paper might offer some important subjects for broadening the applications of sonocatalytic and photocatalytic technologies in future environment treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ultrasound on Lactobacillus fermentum BT 8633 in parent and subsequent passages based on their growth and isoflavone bioconversion activities in biotin-supplemented soymilk. The treated cells were also assessed for impact of ultrasound on probiotic properties. The growth of ultrasonicated parent cells increased (P<0.05) by 3.23-9.14% compared to that of the control during fermentation in biotin-soymilk. This was also associated with enhanced intracellular and extracellular (8.4-17.0% and 16.7-49.2%, respectively; P<0.05) β-glucosidase specific activity, leading to increased bioconversion of isoflavones glucosides to aglycones during fermentation in biotin-soymilk compared to that of the control (P<0.05). Such traits may be credited to the reversible permeabilized membrane of ultrasonicated parent cells that have facilitated the transport of molecules across the membrane. The growing characteristics of first, second and third passage of treated cells in biotin-soymilk were similar (P>0.05) to that of the control, where their growth, enzyme and isoflavone bioconversion activities (P>0.05) were comparable. This may be attributed to the temporary permeabilization in the membrane of treated cells. Ultrasound affected probiotic properties of parent L. fermentum, by reducing tolerance ability towards acid (pH 2) and bile; lowering inhibitory activities against selected pathogens and reducing adhesion ability compared to that of the control (P<0.05). The first, second and third passage of treated cells did not exhibit such traits, with the exception of their bile tolerance ability which was inherited to the first passage (P<0.05). Our results suggested that ultrasound could be used to increase bioactivity of biotin-soymilk via fermentation by probiotic L. fermentum FTDC 8633 for the development of functional food.

Abstract
This study aimed at utilizing ultrasound treatment to further enhance the growth of lactobacilli and their isoflavone bioconversion activities in biotin-supplemented soymilk. Strains of lactobacilli (Lactobacillus acidophilus BT 1088, L. fermentum BT 8219, L. acidophilus FTDC 8633, L. gasseri FTDC 8131) were treated with ultrasound (30 kHz, 100 W) at different amplitudes (20%, 60% and 100%) for 60, 120 and 180 s prior to inoculation and fermentation in biotin-soymilk. The treatment affected the fatty acids chain of the cellular membrane lipid bilayer, as shown by an increased lipid peroxidation (P<0.05). This led to increased membrane fluidity and subsequently, membrane permeability (P<0.05). The permeabilized cellular membranes had facilitated nutrient internalization and subsequent growth enhancement (P<0.05). Higher amplitudes and longer durations of the treatment promoted growth of lactobacilli in soymilk, with viable counts exceeding 9 log CFU/mL. The intracellular and extracellular β-glucosidase specific activities of lactobacilli were also enhanced (P<0.05) upon ultrasound treatment, leading to increased bioconversion of isoflavones in soymilk, particularly genistin and malonyl genistin to genistein. Results from this study show that ultrasound treatment on lactobacilli cells promotes (P<0.05) the β-glucosidase activity of cells for the benefit of enhanced (P<0.05) isoflavone glucosides bioconversion to bioactive aglycones in soymilk.

Abstract
In this paper, in order to examine the mechanisms of sonodynamic and photodynamic reactions, the chlorophyllin metal (Chl-M (M=Fe, Mg and Cu)) complexes were irradiated by ultrasound (US) and visible-light (VL), respectively, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by the method of Oxidation-Extraction Spectrometry (OES). That is, the 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) is oxidized by the generated ROS into 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO), which can display a various visible absorption around 563 nm wavelength. Besides, some influence parameters on the generation of ROS were also reviewed. The results demonstrated an apparent synergistic effect of Chl-M and ultrasonic or visible-light irradiation for the generation of ROS. Moreover, the quantities of generated ROS increase with the increase of (ultrasonic or visible-light) irradiation time and Chl-M (M=Fe, Mg and Cu) concentration. Finally, several quenchers were used to determine the kind of the generated ROS. It is wished that this paper might offer some valuable references for the study on the sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) mechanisms and the application of Chl-M in tumor treatment.

Abstract
In the present work, the rutile, anatase and mixed (rutile and anatase) crystal phase TiO(2) powders were irradiated by ultrasound and solar light, respectively, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected through the oxidation reaction from 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) to 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO). The DPCO can be extracted by the mixed solvent of benzene and carbon tetrachloride and the extract liquors display an obvious absorption peak around 563nm. In addition, the influences of (ultrasonic or solar light) irradiation time, TiO(2) addition amount and DPCI concentration on the quantities of generated ROS were also reviewed. The kinds of generated ROS were determined by using several radical scavengers. At last, the researches on the sonocatalytic and photocatalytic degradation of several organic dyes were also performed. It is wished that this paper might offer some important subjects for broadening the applications of sonocatalytic and photocatalytic technologies.

Abstract
Recently, the sonocatalytic technology using various semiconductors combined with ultrasonic irradiation has been received much attention to solve the environmental problems. In this paper, nano-sized titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) powder as a sonocatalyst was irradiated by ultrasound and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during sonocatalytic reaction process has been estimated by the method of Oxidation-Extraction Photometry (OEP). That is, the 1,5-diphenylcarbohydrazide (DPCI) can be oxidized by ROS into diphenylcarbonzone (DPCO), which can be extracted by the mixed solution of benzene and carbon tetrachloride and show the great absorbance at 563 nm wavelength. The synergistic effect of TiO(2) and ultrasonic irradiation was estimated and some influencing factors, such as ultrasonic irradiation time and TiO(2) addition amount on the generation of ROS were reviewed. The results indicate that the quantities of generated ROS increase with the increase of ultrasonic irradiation time and TiO(2) addition amount. Moreover, the relationship between quantities of generated ROS and DPCI concentration was also studied. And then, several quenchers were used to determine the kind of the generated ROS. At last, the researches on the sonocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and the corresponding reaction kinetics have also been performed, which is found to follow the pseudo first-order kinetics approximately. This paper may offer some important subjects for broadening the applications of sonocatalytic technology.
