Abstract
Algal fouling has become one of the most critical factors hindering the large-scale development of membrane processes in algae-laden water treatment. Herein, novel calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2)/ferrous iron (Fe(II)) process was proposed as an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane pretreatment technology, and its effects on membrane fouling and water properties were systematically studied. Results showed that the terminal specific fluxes were significantly elevated to 0.925 and 0.933, with the maximum removal ratios of reversible resistance reaching 99.65% and 96.99% for algae-laden water and extracellular organic matter (EOM), respectively. The formation of cake filtration was dramatically delayed, accompanied by a significant reduction of the adhesion free energy, and the contaminants attached to the membrane surface were effectively decomposed. With respect to water quality, the removal ratios of OD685 and turbidity achieved 81.25-95.31% and 90.16-97.72%, individually. The maximum removal rates of DOC, UV254 and fluorescent organics in influent water reached 46.14%, 55.17% and 75.77%, respectively. Furthermore, the generated reactive species (e.g., •OH, Cl•, Cl2•- and ClO•) could efficiently degrade EOM, which appreciably reduced the electrostatic repulsion between the algal foulants while ensuring the integrity of algal cells. At the Ca(ClO)2/Fe(II) dosage of 0.04/0.24 mM, the zeta potential changed from -32.9 mV to -10.8 mV, and a large range of aggregates was formed. The macromolecules in the algal solution were significantly removed, and the proportion of micromolecular organics was increased to some extent. Coagulation of in-situ formed Fe(III) dominated the membrane fouling mitigation, and the reactive species also contributed to the improvement of filtration performance. Overall, Ca(ClO)2/Fe(II) pretreatment has an exceptional prospect for efficient degradation of algal pollutants and enhancement of UF capability.

Modulation of Melatonin Receptors Regulates Reproductive Physiology: The Impact of Agomelatine on the Estrus Cycle, Gestation, Offspring, and Uterine Contractions in Rats.

Abstract
Agomelatine is a pharmaceutical compound that functions as an agonist for melatonin receptors, with a particular affinity for the MT1 and MT2 receptor subtypes. Its mode of action is integral to the regulation of diverse physiological processes, encompassing the orchestration of circadian rhythms, sleep-wake cycles, and mood modulation. In the present study, we delve into the intricate interplay between agomelatine and the modulation of estrus cycles, gestation periods, offspring numbers, and uterine contractions, shedding light on their collective impact on reproductive physiology. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments were performed. Wistar Albino rats, divided into four groups: two non-pregnant groups (D1 and D2) and two pregnant groups (G1 and G2). The D1 and G1 groups served as control groups, while the D2 and G2 groups received chronic agomelatine administration (10 mg/kg). Uterine contractions were assessed in vitro using myometrial strips. Luzindole, a melatonin receptor antagonist, was employed to investigate the pathway mediating agomelatine's effects on uterine contractions. In in vivo studies, chronic agomelatine administration extended the diestrus phase (p<0.05) in non-pregnant rats, prolonged the gestational period (p<0.01), and increased the fetal count (p<0.01) in pregnant rats. Additionally, agomelatine reduced plasma oxytocin and prostoglandin-E levels (p<0.01) during pregnancy. In vitro experiments showed that agomelatine dose-dependently inhibited spontaneous and oxytocin-induced myometrial contractions. Luzindole (2 µM) reverse the agomelatine-induced inhibition of myometrial contractions. These findings suggest that agomelatine holds the potential to modulate diverse reproductive parameters during the gestational period, influencing estrus cycling, gestational progression, offspring development, and the orchestration of uterine contractions.

Abstract
Oxidation treatment of algae-laden water may cause cells rupture and emission of intracellular organics, thus restricting its further popularization. As a moderate oxidant, calcium sulfite could be slowly released in the liquid phase, thus exhibiting a potential to maintain the cells integrity. To this end, calcium sulfite oxidation activated by ferrous iron was proposed integrated with ultrafiltration (UF) for removal of Microcystis aeruginosa, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus quadricauda. The organic pollutants were significantly eliminated, and the repulsion between algal cells was obviously weakened. Through fluorescent components extraction and molecular weights distribution analyses, the degradation of fluorescent substances and the generation of micromolecular organics were verified. Moreover, the algal cells were dramatically agglomerated and formed larger flocs under the premise of maintaining high cell integrity. The terminal normalized flux was ascended from 0.048 to 0.072 to 0.711-0.956, and the fouling resistances were extraordinarily decreased. Due to the distinctive spiny structure and minimal electrostatic repulsion, Scenedesmus quadricauda was easier to form flocs, and its fouling was more readily mitigated. The fouling mechanism was remarkably altered through postponing the formation of cake filtration. The membrane interface characteristics including microstructures and functional groups firmly proved the fouling control efficiency. The reactive oxygen species (i.e., SO4•- and 1O2) generated through the principal reactions and Fe-Ca composite flocs played dominant roles in alleviating membrane fouling. Overall, the proposed pretreatment exhibits a brilliant application potential for enhancing UF in algal removal.

Abstract
In this study, an N-ZnO/g-C3N4 (g-N-Z) Z-scheme photocatalyst was constructed using hydrothermal and high-temperature calcination. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and other tests were employed to characterise the catalytic material. The results showed that after N-ZnO modification, the separation efficiency of the photoinduced charge pairs and the utilisation of sunlight in the composites were improved. The kinetics experiments indicated that the degradation of atrazine (ATZ) in the g-N-Z/PDS/solar system was significantly better than that in the PDS/solar system. Under the action of the g-N-Z/PDS/solar system, the degradation rate of ATZ reached 83.88%, whereas in the PDS/solar system, it was only 31.76%. In addition, it was found that increasing the PDS concentration, g-N-Z dosage, and solution acidity effectively accelerated the removal of ATZ. The presence of HCO3-/CO32-, Cl-, and natural organic matter (NOM) inhibited the oxidation efficiency of the g-N-Z/PDS/solar system. Moreover, the presence of multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) was confirmed using radical scavenging experiments to determine the contribution of each active component. Twelve oxidation intermediates of ATZ were obtained via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and the mechanism of enhanced ATZ degradation in the g-N-Z/PDS/solar system was proposed. Actual water and cyclic photocatalytic experiments further suggest that g-N-Z has good application value in water treatment.

Abstract
In this work, ferrate (Fe(VI)) and calcium sulfite (CaSO3) were combined to treat surface water for improving ultrafiltration (UF) performance. During the pre-treatment process, the Fe(VI) and CaSO3 activated each other and a variety of active species (Fe(V), Fe(IV), OH, SO4-, 1O2, etc.) were generated. All of the five fluorescent components were effectively eliminated to different extents. With Fe(VI)/CaSO3 = 0.05/0.15 mM, the dissolved organic carbon and UV254 reduced by 44.33 % and 50.56 %, respectively. After UF, these values were further decreased with the removal rate of 50.27 % and 70.79 %. In the UF stage, the terminal J/J0 increased to 0.42 from 0.17, with the reversible and irreversible fouling decreased by 67.08 % and 79.45 % at most. The membrane pore blocking was significantly mitigated, as well as the foulants deposition on membrane surfaces was decreased to some extent. The complete blocking was altered to standard blocking and intermediate blocking, the volume when entering cake filtration was also delayed slightly. The extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theory was employed to judge the interface fouling behavior, and the results indicated that the foulants became more hydrophilic, as well as the adhesion trend between foulants and membrane surface was weakened. Overall, these results provide a theoretical foundation for the practical application of the combined Fe(VI)/CaSO3-UF process in surface water purification.

Abstract
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a reliable method to treat algal-rich water, whereas severe membrane fouling has impeded its actual application. To improve UF performance and alleviate membrane fouling resulted by algal foulants, a novel strategy coupling ferrate (Fe(VI)) and sodium percarbonate (SPC) was proposed. During the coupling process, Fe(VI) was activated by SPC to generate high-valent Fe intermediates (Fe(V) and Fe(IV)), which played a crucial role in high-efficiency oxidation for algal foulants, and the in-situ formed Fe(III) particles decomposed by Fe(VI) also enhanced the coagulation and adsorption capacity to the coupling system. Under the triple effects of coagulation, adsorption and oxidation, the algal foulants were efficiently eliminated. The zeta potential increased from -32.70 mV to -6.56 mV at most, the particle size was significantly enlarged, and the generated flocs possessed a great settleability. The morphology, viability, and integrity of algae cells were effectively maintained. The dissolved organic matters and fluorescent organics were efficiently removed, as well as macromolecular organics were reduced into lower molecular weight components. With the collaborative effect of Fe(VI) and SPC, the terminal specific flux was increased from 0.29 to 0.92, and the reversible and irreversible fouling resistances were reduced by 98.5% and 69.4%, individually. The surface functional groups were changed, and the dominant mechanisms were also converted to pore blocking from cake layer filtration. Overall, the experimental results would provide some new thoughts in actual production for algal-rich water treatment and UF membrane fouling alleviation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prolonged endurance training results in physiological changes to elite athletes' hearts. These changes include thickened left ventricular (LV) walls and dilated left and right ventricles that may overlap with those from pathological conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. While reference ranges for elite black and white athletes have been published to facilitate differentiation of physiology from pathology, data on Asian athletes remains scarce. With increasing Asian representation in international sport, it is important to ascertain the extent of physiological cardiac remodelling in Asian athletes.
Purpose
This study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters of elite endurance athletes (EAs) and non-endurance controls and describe reference ranges in this population of Asian athletes.
Methods
Consecutive elite athletes engaging in endurance sport were identified from the Singapore Sports Cardiology Registry from January to October 2018. Controls were obtained from 3 sources: (a) skill-based athletes from the Singapore Sports Cardiology Registry, (b) healthy non-athletic volunteers from a national atrial fibrillation registry, and (c) healthy non-athletic volunteers from a national heart failure registry. All participants underwent resting two-dimensional, M-mode and Doppler transthoracic echocardiography and findings from EA were compared with controls.
Results
165 participants (55 EAs, 110 controls) were analysed (median age 29 years, male gender n=95; 58%, Chinese ethnicity n=55 for EAs; 100%) Baseline characteristics between both groups were comparable (Table 1). EAs had larger LV wall thickness (9.2 vs. 8.1 mm, p<0.001), LV cavity size (50.7 vs. 48.2 mm, p<0.001), LV mass index (98.4 vs. 73.8 g/m2, p<0.001), aortic root diameter at sinus of Valsalva (30.6 vs. 28.9 mm, p<0.01), right ventricular dimensions and biatrial volumes compared to controls (Table 2). Similar results were noted after indexing to body surface area. These associations also persisted after adjusting for age.
Conclusion(s)
Endurance activity in elite Singaporean Chinese athletes was associated with significant structural and functional cardiac remodeling compared to controls. Reference ranges for echocardiographic parameters in this population were described, allowing for more accuracy when differentiating physiology from pathology in Asian athletes.

Abstract
The degradation of iopamidol (IPM) was investigated using a UV365/NaClO system. The reactive species (HO·, ClO·, ozone, Cl·, and Cl2-·) in the system were identified, and the changing trends of the percentage contributions of these reactive species to IPM removal under various conditions were systematically evaluated. The results showed that ClO· and HO· played the most significant roles in the apparent pseudo-first-order rate constants of IPM degradation (kobs, min-1) in the control experiment, and their percentage contributions to kobs were 41.31% and 34.45%, respectively. In addition, Cl· and Cl2-· together contributed 22% to the kobs. Furthermore, the contribution of ozone to the IPM removal could be neglected. The concentrations of these species increased significantly when the concentration of NaClO was increased from 50 µM to 200 µM, while the percentage contribution of ClO· to kobs was greatly increased. The concentrations and percentage contributions of HO· and ClO· decreased significantly as the solution pH increased from 5 to 9, with Cl2-· playing a greater role in the degradation of IPM under alkaline conditions. While Cl- or HCO3-/CO32- significantly promoted the generation of Cl2-· or CO3-·, neither had an obvious effect on kobs, suggesting that Cl2-· and CO3-· should have a certain reactivity with IPM. Compared with that of Cl2-·, the percentage contribution of ClO· and Cl· to kobs was more likely to be inhibited by NOM. In addition, the organic and inorganic oxidation products of IPM were detected. The oxidation mechanisms of IPM degradation in the UV365/NaClO system, such as the H-extraction reaction, deiodination, substitution reaction, amide hydrolysis, and amine oxidation, were proposed according to the obtained 15 organic products. No effect on acute toxicity towards Vibrio fischeri and Photobacterium phosphoreum was detected during the oxidation of IPM by the UV365/NaClO system. Furthermore, the engineering feasibility of the oxidation system was demonstrated, by the effective degradation of IPM in actual water. However, HOI rapidly accumulated during the removal of IPM in the UV365/NaClO system, which poses certain environmental risks and will needs to be investigated.

Abstract
Persulfate oxidation has been increasingly integrated with membrane separation for water purification, whereas the oxidizing ability of persulfate is relatively limited, and appropriate activation methods are urgently required. In this work, a novel catalyst of carbon nanofiber (CNF) supported CuO (CuO@CNF) was synthesized for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The micro-morphology showed that CuO nanoparticles were well dispersed on the CNF support, which solved the agglomeration problem of nanoparticles and improved the catalytic ability. Furtherly, PMS oxidation activated by CuO@CNF was proposed as a pre-processing means for improving ultrafiltration (UF) water purification efficiency and mitigating membrane fouling. The prepared CuO@CNF was more efficient than individual CNF and CuO in activating PMS for the reduction of various typical natural organic matter, improving permeation flux, and mitigating membrane fouling. The fouling control efficiencies were also verified by characterizing the membrane surface functional groups. The CuO@CNF catalyst could signally promote the oxidative capacity by generating a series of reactive oxygen species, thus enhancing the removal of organics with varying species and molecular weight ranges in surface water. With respect to the fouling condition, the specific permeation flux after filtration was improved from 0.25 to 0.61, with the removal rate of reversible fouling resistance reached 89.6%. The fouling mechanism was apparently altered, with both standard and complete blocking dominated throughout the filtration process. The findings are beneficial for the development of new strategies to improve membrane-based water purification efficiency.

Abstract
Objective: Based on the geographic information systems, we exploreed the spatiotemporal clustering and the development and evolution of COVID-19 epidemic at prefectural level in China from the time when the epidemic was discovered to the time when the lockdown ended in Wuhan. Methods: The information and data of the confirmed COVID-19 cases from December 8, 2019 to April 8, 2020 were collected from 367 prefectures in China for a spatial autocorrelation analysis with software GeoDa, and software ArcGIS was used to visualize the results. Software SatScan was used for spatiotemporal scanning analysis to visualize the hot-spot areas of the epidemic. Results: The incidence of new cases of COVID-19 had obvious global autocorrelation and the partial autocorrelation results showed that incidence of COVID-19 had different spatial distribution at different times from December 8, 2019 to March 4, 2020. There was no significant difference in global autocorrelation coefficient from March 5, 2020 to April 8, 2020. The statistical analysis of spatiotemporal scanning identified two kinds of spatiotemporal clustering areas, the first class clustering areas included 10 prefectures, mainly distributed in Hubei, from January 13 to February 25, 2020. The secondary class clustering areas included 142 prefectures, mainly distributed in provinces in the north and east of Hubei, from January 23 to February 1, 2020. Conclusions: There was a clear spatiotemporal correlation in the distribution of the outbreaks in the early phase of COVID-19 epidemic (December 8, 2019-March 4, 2020) in China. With the decrease of the case and effective prevention and control measures, the epidemics had no longer significant correlations among areas from March 5 to April 8. The study results showed relationship with time points of start and adjustment of emergency response at different degree in provinces. Furthermore, improving the early detection of new outbreaks and taking timely and effective prevention and control measures played an important role in blocking the transmission.

Abstract
Membrane technology has been shown to be promising for the treatment of algae-laden water, but membrane fouling is still an obstacle influencing the purification efficiency and effluent quality. To mitigate ultrafiltration membrane fouling during Microcystis aeruginosa-laden water treatment, a strategy of sodium percarbonate pre-oxidation activated with ferrous ion (Fe2+/SPC) was put forward in this study. Due to the synergistic effect of Fe2+ and SPC, this process was significantly more efficient with the terminal specific flux increased from 0.097 to 0.397, and the reversible fouling resistance reduced by approximately 80%. It was also found that subsequent sedimentation followed by Fe2+/SPC could further improve the fouling control efficiency. The model fitting results indicated that Fe2+/SPC pre-oxidation delayed the transition from standard blocking to cake filtration. Extracellular organic matter and algal cells were extracted from algal foulants to explore the contribution of each component, and the fouling control efficiencies were systematically studied. The characteristics of the algal foulants were determined with fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectrum, and the results suggested that macromolecular proteinaceous substances were more efficiently removed by Fe2+/SPC, in comparison with humic-like matters. The alleviation of membrane fouling was also verified by the characterization methods of scanning electron microscopy and attenuated total reflection-Fourier infrared spectroscopy. Overall, the proposed strategy of Fe2+/SPC has an application prospect for membrane fouling control in algal-laden water treatment.

Abstract
Organic micro-pollutants such as pesticides and endocrine disruptors cause serious harm to human health and aquatic ecosystem. In this study, the potential degradation of atrazine (ATZ), triclosan (TCS), and 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA) by UV-activated peroxydisulfate (UV/PDS) and UV-activated H2O2 (UV/H2O2) processes were evaluated under different conditions. Results showed that UV/PDS process was more effective than UV/H2O2 under the same conditions. Increasing oxidant dosage or decreasing the initial ATZ, TCS, and TCA concentrations promoted the degradation rates of these three compounds. The presence of natural organic matter (NOM) could effectively scavenge sulfate radical (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radical (HO•) and reduced the removal rates of target compounds. Degradation rates of ATZ and TCA decreased with pH increasing from 5.0 to 9.0 in UV/PDS process, while in UV/H2O2 process, the increase of solution pH had little effect on ATZ and TCA degradation. In the UV/PDS and UV/H2O2 oxidation process, when the solution pH increased from 5 to 8, the removal rates of TCS decreased by 19% and 1%, while when the solution pH increased to 9, the degradation rates of TCS increased by 23% and 17%. CO32-/HCO3- had a small inhibitory effect on ATZ and TCA degradation by UV/H2O2 and UV/PDS processes but promoted the degradation of TCS significantly (> 2 mM). Cl- had little effect on the degradation of ATZ, TCA, and TCS in UV/H2O2 process. Cl- significant inhibited on the degradation of ATZ and TCS, but the influence of Cl- on the degradation of TCA was weak in UV/PDS process. Based on these experimental results, the various contributions of those secondary radicals (i.e., carbonate radical, chlorine radical) were discussed. This study can contribute to better understand the reactivities when UV/PDS and UV/H2O2 are applied for the treatment of micro-pollutant-containing waters.

Abstract
Background:Janus kinases (JAKs) are important regulators of intracellular responses triggered by many key proinflammatory cytokines and are clinically validated therapeutic targets for treating various autoimmune diseases. However, current approved JAK inhibitors failed to achieve maximal clinical benefit in part due to their unfavorable selectivity for individual JAKs such as JAK2 and/or JAK3, leading to dose-limiting toxicities or severe toxicities (e.g., thrombosis, anemia, immune suppression). Selective inhibition of JAK1 and/or TYK2 may minimize or avoid some of the toxicities and potentially offer a better therapeutic window for treating autoimmune diseases. No highly selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor has been reported to date.Objectives:Discovery of a highly selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor that maximally avoids JAK2 and JAK3 inhibition. We described preclinical characterization of a novel, highly potent and selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor TLL018 and its potential utility in treating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Using predicting SAR, TLL018 was designed to achieve exquisite selectivity for both JAK1 and TYK2 while sparing JAK2, JAK3 and other human kinases. Its enzyme and cell activities, kinase selectivity, andin vivoefficacy were assessed in a battery of relevant enzyme, cell and whole blood assays, andin vivoarthritis animal models. Additional preclinical DMPK and toxicology studies were conducted to support its clinical development.Results:TLL018 is a highly potent and selective, orally bioavailable JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor against JAK1 (IC50= 4 nM) and TYK2 (IC50= 5 nM) as measured inin vitrokinase assays with ATP concentrations at individual Km. Its potency against JAK2 or JAK3 is greater than 1 µM. Profiling against a panel of over 350 human kinase showed that TLL018 is exclusively selective for JAK1 and TYK2, with ≥ 90-fold selectivity against all other kinases tested. TLL018 exhibited potent cellular activity for JAK1-mediated IL-6 signaling (IC50= 0.6 µM) with greater than 100-fold selectivity against JAK2-mediated cytokine (e.g., TPO) signaling in human whole blood-based assays.Oral administration of TLL018 demonstrated dose-dependent efficacy in commonly studied rat adjuvant-induced arthritis (rAIA) model and mouse collagen-induced arthritis (mCIA) model. Significant inhibition of inflammation, bone resorption, splenomegaly and body weight change was observed in adjuvant-induced disease in rats. In addition, significant inhibition of inflammation, cartilage destruction, bone resorption and histological signs was demonstrated in collagen-induced arthritis in mice. Noticeably, TLL018 exhibited significant anti-inflammation activity at doses that only blocked JAK1 and TYK2 and exerted little inhibition of JAK2 and JAK3.In support of clinical development of TLL018, preclinical ADME and PK studies and IND-enabling toxicology and safety pharmacology studies were completed, confirming that TLL018 possesses excellent ADME and PK properties, and exhibits a clean on-target safety profile.Conclusion:TLL018 is a highly potent and selective JAK1/TYK2 inhibitor that demonstrated excellent efficacy and tolerability in relevant mouse and rat arthritis models. The collective data of its preclinical pharmacology, PK and toxicology showed a favorable pharmaceutical profile, further supporting its development for treating autoimmune diseases including RA. Clinical evaluation of TLL018 is ongoing.Disclosure of Interests:Xiangdong Liu Shareholder of: I own shares of TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Employee of: I am employed by TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Fenlai Tan Shareholder of: I own shares of TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Employee of: I am employed by TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Chris Liang Shareholder of: I own shares of TLL Pharmaceutical LLC, Employee of: I am employed by TLL Pharmaceutical LLC

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) acts through its receptor fibroblast growth factor inducible 14 (Fn14), and participates in skin inflammation. Both TWEAK and Fn14 are highly expressed in skin lesions of patients with atopic dermatitis. The purpose of this study was to further explore the effect of Fn14 inhibition on experimental atopic dermatitis. Experimental atopic dermatitis was induced in the wild-type and Fn14 knock-out BALB/c mice. The effect of TWEAK/Fn14 interaction on keratinocytes was studied in an in-vitro model of atopic dermatitis. Fn14 deficiency ameliorates skin lesions in the mice model, accompanied by less infiltration of inflammatory cells and lower local levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including TWEAK, TNF-α and interleukin (IL)-17. Fn14 deficiency also attenuates the up-regulation of TNFR1 in skin lesions of atopic dermatitis. Moreover, topical TWEAK exacerbates skin lesion in the wild-type but not in the Fn14 knock-out mice. In vitro, TWEAK enhances the expressions of IL-17, IL-18 and IFN-γ in keratinocytes under atopic dermatitis-like inflammation. These results suggest that Fn14 deficiency protects mice from experimental atopic dermatitis, involving the attenuation of inflammatory responses and keratinocyte apoptosis. In the context of atopic dermatitis-like inflammation, TWEAK modulates keratinocytes via a TNFR1-mediated pathway.

Abstract
Computed Tomography (CT) is a powerful method for non-destructive testing (NDT) and metrology awakes with expanding application fields. To improve the spatial resolution of high energy CT, a micro-spot gamma-ray source based on bremsstrahlung from a laser wakefield accelerator was developed. A high energy CT using the source was performed, which shows that the resolution of reconstruction can reach 100 μm at 10% contrast. Our proof-of-principle demonstration indicates that laser driven micro-spot gamma-ray sources provide a prospective way to increase the spatial resolution and toward to high energy micro CT. Due to the advantage in spatial resolution, laser based high energy CT represents a large potential for many NDT applications.

Abstract
Landfill leachate contains a large amount of organic matter and ammoniacal nitrogen. As such, it has become a complex and difficult issue within the water treatment industry. The activated sludge process has been found to be a good solution with low processing costs and is now therefore the core process for leachate treatment, especially for nitrogen removal. This paper describes the characteristics and treatment of leachate. Treatment of leachate using the activated sludge process includes the removal of organic matter, ammoniacal nitrogen, and total nitrogen (TN). The core method for the removal of organic matter involves anaerobic treatment supplemented with an aerobic process. Ammoniacal nitrogen is commonly removed using a conventional aerobic treatment, and advanced TN removal is achieved using endogenous denitrification or an anaerobic ammonium oxidation (ANAMMOX) process. Since biological processes are the most economical method for TN removal, a key issue is how to tap the full potential of the activated sludge process and improve TN removal from leachate. This complex issue has been identified as the focus of current scholars, as well as an important future direction for leachate research and development.

Abstract
Mechanically robust and low loss single-mode arsenic sulfide fibers are used to deliver high power mid-infrared sources. Anti-reflection coatings were deposited on the fiber facets, enabling 90% transmission through 20 cm length fibers. 10.3 W was transmitted through an anti-reflection coated fiber at 2053 nm, and uncoated fibers sustained 12 MW/cm2 intensities on the facet without failure. A Cr:ZnSe laser transmitted >1 W at 2520 nm, and a Fe:ZnSe laser transmitted 0.5 W at 4102 nm. These results indicate that by improving the anti-reflection coatings and using a high beam quality mid-infrared source, chalcogenide fibers can reliably deliver ≥10 W in a single mode, potentially out to 6.5 µm.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of different concentrations of MgSiF(6) as electrolyte on the bond strength between titanium and porcelain after micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment and screen the suitable concentration of MgSiF(6) that can improve the bond strength between titanium and porcelain. Methods: Four different concentrations of MgSiF(6) (10, 20, 30, 40 g/L) were chosen as MAO reaction solutions. Sandblasting treatment was selected as a control group. After porcelain was fused to each specimen, titanium-porcelain bond strengths were evaluated by the three-point bending test according to ISO 9693. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were adopted to evaluate the morphologies and elemental compositions of both the MAO coatings and the interfaces of the titanium-porcelain restoration. Results: The surface of titanium specimen in the control group was sharp and rough, while specimens in both 10 g/L group and 20 g/L group were porous and homogeneous. However, the pores found on the specimens in the latter group were larger in diameter (approximately 1.0-2.0 μm) than those on the former one (0.2-0.5 μm). The bond strengths of the control group and the experimental groups (10, 20, 30, 40 g/L MgSiF(6)) were (27.08±3.16), (38.18±2.65), (44.75±2.21), (36.44±2.04), (31.04±2.59) MPa, respectively. All the experimental groups showed higher bond strengths than the control group did (P<0.05), and the bond strength of 20 g/L MgSiF(6) group was significantly higher than those of the other groups (P<0.05). Besides, the interfaces between titanium and porcelain were tight and compact in the 20 g/L group, while different amounts of pores and cracks were visible in the other groups. Additionally, after the three-point bending test, few residual porcelains could be observed on the surfaces of specimens in the control group. Conclusions: MAO treatment with 20 g/L MgSiF(6) on titanium can improve bonding strength between titanium and porcelain.

Abstract
Achieving treatment targets has been difficult in treating diabetic patients. This cross-sectional study describes the lipid profiles of patients with diabetes mellitus at a public primary health care centre in Sarawak, Malaysia. The targets for lipid control were based on the International Diabetes Federation recommendation (2002). 1031 patients (98% Type 2 Diabetes) were studied. Fasting lipid profiles were available in 990 (96%) patients. The mean total cholesterol was 5.3 ± 1.0 mmol/L, Triglycerides 1.90 ± 1.26 mmol/L, HDL-C 1.28 ± 0.33 mmol/ L and LDL-C 3.2 ± 0.9 mmol/L. Overall, 22% of patients achieved the treatment target for LDL-C level <2.6mmol/L. 67% of patients had HDL-C > 1.1 mmol/L and 42% of patients had a target TG level below 1.5 mmol/L. Of the 40% of patients who received lipid-lowering drug, 17% achieved LDL-C target, 50% had LDL-C 2.6-4.4mmol/ L and 33% have LDL-C > 4.0 mmol/L. For the remaining 60% not receiving any lipid lowering therapy, 68% had LDL-C between 2.6-4.0 mmol/L and 7% had LDL-C level > 4 mmol/L. Dyslipidemia is still under-treated despite the availability of effective pharmacological agents and the greatly increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Epidemiological outbreak investigations were conducted on NADC30-like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) to investigate the prevalence of the disease in south-east China in 2015. Two more provinces were found to have NADC30-like PRRSV circulating besides previously reported six provinces. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these virus isolates were clustered in an independent branch and shared high nucleotide similarity to NADC30, a type 2 PRRSV that has been isolated in Unite States in 2008. One NADC30-like PRRSV strain from Henan province was successfully isolated on porcine alveolar macrophages and was tested on 6-week-old specific pathogen-free pigs for pathogenic study. The virus-inoculated pigs showed typical PRRSV clinical symptoms, but all pigs survived throughout the study with a period of 14 days. At necropsy, the lungs of infected pigs developed PRRSV-specific interstitial pneumonia, and virus antigen was detected in lung samples. Therefore, our results indicated NADC30-like PRRSV has widely spread in China and could cause clinical disease on pigs.

Abstract
The prevalence of telework and other forms of mobile working enabled by digital technology is increasing markedly. Following a socio-technical systems approach, this study aims to examine the role of organisational social support and specific support for teleworkers in influencing teleworker wellbeing, the mediating role of social isolation, potentially resulting from a person-environment mismatch in these relationships, and possible differences in these relationships between low-intensity and hybrid teleworkers. Teleworkers' (n = 804) perceptions of support and telework outcomes (psychological strain, job satisfaction, and social isolation) were collected using an on-line survey of teleworking employees distributed within 28 New Zealand organisations where knowledge work was undertaken. Organisational social support and teleworker support was associated with increased job satisfaction and reduced psychological strain. Social isolation mediated the relationship between organisational social support and the two outcome variables, and some differences were observed in the structural relationships for hybrid and low-intensity teleworker sub-samples. These findings suggest that providing the necessary organisational and teleworker support is important for enhancing the teleworker-environment fit and thereby ensuring desirable telework outcomes.

Abstract
Sixteen new microsatellites were, identified by screening 7533 expressed sequence tags of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis from GenBank data we published. They were polymorphic with the PIC value ranged from 0.349 to 0.957, the number of alleles ranged from 22 to 48, and the observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.375 to 1.000 and 0.366 to 0.983, respectively. Five loci could be applicable to genetic diversity and population structure of E. sinensis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening event that may follow trauma, operation, biopsy, and sudden spontaneous rupture of renal tumors or aneurysms. Superselective renal artery embolization (SRAE) is a well-established method for such cases. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of SRAE in the treatment of renal hemorrhage at our institute. MATERIALS AND METHODS We respectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent SRAE for renal hemorrhage from January 2005 to June 2012. Data on patients' characteristics, indications, requirement of pre-embolization blood transfusion, angiographic finding, location of bleeding site, embolization agents, post-embolization transfusion requirement, complications and the outcome were recorded. RESULTS A total of 46 patients, aged 26-73 years, underwent SRAE because of hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (n = 25), partial nephrectomy (n = 6), renal biopsy (n = 2), trauma (n = 2), rupture of angiomyolipoma (n = 4), renal aneurysm (n = 1), and renal ateriovenous malformations (n = 6). A total of 41 patients (80.8 %) underwent successful embolization. Treatment failed in 5 patients with hemorrhage caused by percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Of these, four patients underwent a secondly superselective embolization and had a successful outcome. The remaining one was managed by conservative therapy with repeated blood transfusions. No patient required nephrectomy to save the life of the patient. No serious procedure-related complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS SRAE is an effective and minimal invasive method for the control of renal hemorrhage. Our experience strongly recommended the first-line use of SRAE for severe renal hemorrhage.
