The a...This study investigated 17α-ethynylestradiol（EE2） biodegradation process and primary metabolic pathways associated with community structures of microorganism during groundwater recharge using reclaimed water. The attenuation rate is 1.58 times higher in wetting and drying alternative recharge（WDAR） than in continual recharge（CR）. The primary biotransformation pathways of EE2 in WDAR system began with the oxidation of C-17 on ring D to form a ketone group, and D-ring was subsequently hydroxylated and cleaved. In the CR system, the metabolic pathway changed from the oxidation of C-17 on ring D to hydroxylation of C-4 on ring A, and ring A or B subsequently cleaved; this transition was related to DO, and the microbial community structure. Four hundred fifty four pyrosequencing of 16 s r RNA genes indicated that the bacterial communities in the upper layer of the WDAR system were more diverse than those found in the bottom layer of the CR system; this result was reversed for archaea. Unweighted Uni Frac and taxonomic analyses were conducted to relate the change in bacterial community structure to the metabolic pathway. Microorganism community diversity and structure were related to the concentrations of dissolved oxygen, EE2 and its intermediates in the system. Five known bacterial classes and one known archaeal class, five major bacterial genera and one major archaeal genus might be involved in EE2 degradation. The findings of this study provide an understanding of EE2 biodegradation in groundwater recharge areas under different recharging modes and can facilitate the prediction of the fate of EE2 in underground aquifers.展开更多

The community included private residential and agricultural activities without any involvement of the public sector. Small-scale decentralized energy systems were used. Solar energy and solid biomass which are locally available covered most of the heat and electricity requirements in the community. Renewable energy technologies used include solar thermal energy, solar-PV and solid biomass burning utilizing olive tree wood and olive kernel wood. These technologies are mature, reliable, well proven in Crete and cost-effective. Existing energy systems were generating 857,877 kWh per year covering 94.46% of the current energy requirements in the community, significantly reducing its emissions at 278,494 kg CO2 per year. The addition of a new solar-PV system with nominal power of 33.6 kWp could cover all the remaining electricity needs in the community, transforming it to a zero-CO2 emission community due to energy use. The total installation cost of the existing renewable energy systems in the community was estimated at 0.16€ per total kWh of thermal and electric energy generated annually and at 0.50€ per ton of CO2 emissions saved annually. Results indicated that the creation of the above-mentioned small local energy community is economically viable, environmental friendly and socially accepted. Therefore it could be replicated in other territories with similar availability of renewable energies, increasing their energy autonomy and sustainability.展开更多

In the smart PV ＆ EV system, it is important that electric vehicles become popular. Therefore, the AI-EV （air-conditioner integrated electric vehicle） has been proposed. In this paper, the AI-EV is designed based on the required car air-conditioner capacity. And, the value of AI-EV is compared with a gasoline vehicle, HV （hybrid vehicle） and EV using the mathematical simulation model As a result, it is clarified that the minimum displacement of the small-engine is 120 cc for AI-EV. In the smart PV ＆ EV system, AI-EV can reduce CO_2 emissions by 20% almost the same as EV. Additionally, AI-EV is able to gain the cruising range more than twice as long as EV.展开更多

The study aim was to profile physical mobility, declared health problems, hypertension and diabetes frequency, awareness, treated and good control in urban low-income elders. Method: The study had cross-sectional design in population sample. Subjects were urban men and women older than 59 years at the medium low income stratum at a developing country. Survey was carried out from October 2008 to October 2009. All elder dwellers in randomly selected houses were surveyed;clinical exam after consent. Good Control: Systolic/Diastolic Results: There were 162 elders, 53 (32.7%) were male, 99 (61.1%) were younger than 70 years. Forty nine (30.2%) had impaired mobility;among them 20 (55.6%) were bed or home restricted, and 29 (44.4%) needed help to go out. Unstable health condition was found in 36 (22.2%), with significantly more men 19 (52.8%) vs 34 (27.0%), X2 = 8.5, df1, P 0.05. The frequency, proportions for: known diagnosis, on treatment, and good control were 75 (69.4%), 55 (73.3%), 45 (60.0%) and 12 of 45 (26.7%) for hypertension;53 (49.1%), 47 (88.7%), 42 (79.2%) and 9 of 42 (21.4%) for diabetes. The most frequent unstable conditions were cardiovascular. Conclusions: Data suggest unstable health no association with the oldest old. The small proportion in good control of Diabetes and/or hypertension could explain the large frequency of elders with unstable health and prevention of reaching nonagenarian age.展开更多

Methods: in the community of diabetic patients, 88 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as the research object, and divided into control group and observation group according to the principle of random grouping, 44 cases in each group. The control group adopted the conventional management mode, while the observation group adopted the intervention mode of family doctor team management, and both groups of patients intervened for one year. HbAlc, FPG and 2hPG before and after the intervention were observed and compared between the two groups, as well as the occurrence of complications after the intervention. Results: the levels of HbAlc, FPG and 2hPG in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). In the incidence of complications, the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Conclusion: the application of family doctor team management model in community type 2 diabetes patients can not only more effectively reduce the glycosylated hemoglobin level and blood glucose level of patients, but also reduce the incidence of complications of patients and improve the blood glucose control ability of patients, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.展开更多

Methods: a total of 98 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were selected from our community hospital from January 2020 to December 2020. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in the control group were still given routine outpatient intervention, while the patients in the research group were given continuous nursing in community hospitals, and the nursing effect and prognosis were compared. Results: fasting blood glucose index and two-hour postprandial blood glucose index in the study group were significantly improved compared with those in the control group, and their self-management ability was significantly improved compared with those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the application of continuous nursing intervention in community hospitals in nursing care of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes has better effect, which can effectively improve their self-management ability and control blood sugar level. It is recommended to apply it widely.展开更多

文摘The crop yields achieved through traditional plant breeding techniques appear to be nearing a plateau.Therefore,it is essential to accelerate advancements in photosynthesis,the fundamental process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy,to further enhance crop yields.Research focused on improving photosynthesis holds significant promise for increasing sustainable agricultural productivity and addressing challenges related to global food security.This review examines the latest advancements and strategies aimed at boosting crop yields by enhancing photosynthetic efficiency.There has been a linear increase in yield over the years in historically released germplasm selected through traditional breeding methods,and this increase is accompanied by improved photosynthesis.We explore various aspects of the light reactions designed to enhance crop yield,including light harvest efficiency through smart canopy systems,expanding the absorbed light spectrum to include far-red light,optimizing non-photochemical quenching,and accelerating electron transport flux.At the same time,we investigate carbon reactions that can enhance crop yield,such as manipulating Rubisco activity,improving the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle,introducing CO_(2)concentrating mechanisms in C_(3)plants,and optimizing carbon allocation.These strategies could significantly impact crop yield enhancement and help bridge the yield gap.

文摘Exotic plant invasions and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide(CO_(2))concentration have been determined to independently affect soil nematodes,a key component of soil biota.However,little is known about the long-term effects of these two global change factors and their interactive effects.Over three consecutive years,we cultivated invasive alien plant Xanthium strumarium and its two phylogenetically related natives under both ambient(aCO_(2))and elevated(eCO_(2))atmospheric CO_(2)concentrations,and determined the effects of the invader and natives on soil nematodes under different CO_(2)concentrations and the relevant mechanism.The abundance of total soil nematodes and that of the dominant trophic group(herbivores)were significantly affected by plant species and CO_(2)concentration,and these effects were dependent on the experimental duration,however,the Shannon-diversity of nematodes was not affected by these factors.Under aCO_(2),both invasive and native species significantly increased the total nematode abundance and that of the dominant trophic group with increasing experimental duration,and the amplitude of the increase was greater under the invader relative to the natives.The eCO_(2)increased total nematode abundance(second year)and that of the dominant trophic group(third year)under the invader,but not under the natives(or even decreased)with increasing experimental duration.Root litter had greater effects on soil nematode abundance than leaf litter and root exudates did.This study indicates that eCO_(2)would aggravate effects of invasive plants on soil nematodes by increasing abundance,and these effects would vary with the duration.

文摘Simulated heap bioleaching of low-grade high pyrite-bearing chalcocite ore was conducted at 40 °C with aeration of CO_2 and N_2.Ore samples were collected at day 43,64,85,106 and subjected to microbial community analysis by 16S rRNA gene clone library.Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA fragments revealed that the retrieved sequences are mainly related to genus Acidithiobacillus,Leptospirillum and Sulfobacillus.Aeration of CO_2 and N_2 significantly impacted the microbial community composition.When CO_2 was aerated,the proportion of genus Acidithiobacillus considerably increased,whereas the proportion of genus Leptospirillum and genus Sulfobacillus declined.However,with the aeration of N_2,the proportion of genus Acidithiobacillus and Leptospirillum increased,but genus Sulfobacillus decreased.When there was no aeration,the microbial community was similar to the inocula with the proportion of genus Leptospirillum mounted.These results indicated that the limitation of oxygen could change the bioleaching microbial community and the aeration of CO_2 and N_2 was favourable for the growth of sulfur-oxidizer(At.caldus) and iron-oxidizer(L.ferriphilum) respectively,which could be used for the regulation of microorganisms' role in mineral bioleaching.

文摘To investigate the effects of biochar addition(1 or 3%)to the soil of a China fir plantation with or without litter,we conducted a 90-day incubation experiment.We also studied the C and N dynamics and the microbial community structure of the soil.In soil without litter,the application of biochar at a rate of 3%significantly decreased CO2 emissions,while addition of 1%biochar had no effect.Biochar application did not affect the net N mineralization rate but significantly reduced the NH4?concentration after 90 days.In litter-enriched soil,biochar application had no significant effect on total CO2 emissions;however,application of 3%biochar significantly reduced the net N mineralization rate.Biochar application to soil with or without litter immediately reduced the dissolved organic carbon(DOC)concentration independent of the application rate,which was primarily due to sorption of DOC by the biochar.Phospholipid fatty acid analysis demonstrated that both concentrations of added biochar to soil(with or without litter)altered the soil microbial community structure at the end of incubation,although the effect of biochar was not as strong as the effect of time or litter application.The effect of biochar addition alone on microbial community structure was inconsistent over time.Litter added to soil significantly increased fungi and reduced Gram-positive bacteria.In the presence of litter,biochar applied at both 1%and 3%significantly increased(p<0.05)the proportion of actinomycete only at day 90.Our results indicate biochar as a potentially effective measure for C sequestration in the test soil of a China fir plantation,even in the presence of litter.

文摘This study investigated 17α-ethynylestradiol（EE2） biodegradation process and primary metabolic pathways associated with community structures of microorganism during groundwater recharge using reclaimed water. The attenuation rate is 1.58 times higher in wetting and drying alternative recharge（WDAR） than in continual recharge（CR）. The primary biotransformation pathways of EE2 in WDAR system began with the oxidation of C-17 on ring D to form a ketone group, and D-ring was subsequently hydroxylated and cleaved. In the CR system, the metabolic pathway changed from the oxidation of C-17 on ring D to hydroxylation of C-4 on ring A, and ring A or B subsequently cleaved; this transition was related to DO, and the microbial community structure. Four hundred fifty four pyrosequencing of 16 s r RNA genes indicated that the bacterial communities in the upper layer of the WDAR system were more diverse than those found in the bottom layer of the CR system; this result was reversed for archaea. Unweighted Uni Frac and taxonomic analyses were conducted to relate the change in bacterial community structure to the metabolic pathway. Microorganism community diversity and structure were related to the concentrations of dissolved oxygen, EE2 and its intermediates in the system. Five known bacterial classes and one known archaeal class, five major bacterial genera and one major archaeal genus might be involved in EE2 degradation. The findings of this study provide an understanding of EE2 biodegradation in groundwater recharge areas under different recharging modes and can facilitate the prediction of the fate of EE2 in underground aquifers.
文摘A description and assessment of a small renewable energy community located in Crete, Greece is presented. The community included private residential and agricultural activities without any involvement of the public sector. Small-scale decentralized energy systems were used. Solar energy and solid biomass which are locally available covered most of the heat and electricity requirements in the community. Renewable energy technologies used include solar thermal energy, solar-PV and solid biomass burning utilizing olive tree wood and olive kernel wood. These technologies are mature, reliable, well proven in Crete and cost-effective. Existing energy systems were generating 857,877 kWh per year covering 94.46% of the current energy requirements in the community, significantly reducing its emissions at 278,494 kg CO2 per year. The addition of a new solar-PV system with nominal power of 33.6 kWp could cover all the remaining electricity needs in the community, transforming it to a zero-CO2 emission community due to energy use. The total installation cost of the existing renewable energy systems in the community was estimated at 0.16€ per total kWh of thermal and electric energy generated annually and at 0.50€ per ton of CO2 emissions saved annually. Results indicated that the creation of the above-mentioned small local energy community is economically viable, environmental friendly and socially accepted. Therefore it could be replicated in other territories with similar availability of renewable energies, increasing their energy autonomy and sustainability.
文摘In order to expand the natural energy and the energy conservation, ＂the smart PV （photovoltaic power generation） ＆ EV （electric vehicle） system＂ has been proposed and the effect has been clarified. In the smart PV ＆ EV system, it is important that electric vehicles become popular. Therefore, the AI-EV （air-conditioner integrated electric vehicle） has been proposed. In this paper, the AI-EV is designed based on the required car air-conditioner capacity. And, the value of AI-EV is compared with a gasoline vehicle, HV （hybrid vehicle） and EV using the mathematical simulation model As a result, it is clarified that the minimum displacement of the small-engine is 120 cc for AI-EV. In the smart PV ＆ EV system, AI-EV can reduce CO_2 emissions by 20% almost the same as EV. Additionally, AI-EV is able to gain the cruising range more than twice as long as EV.

文摘The rapid spread of the coronavirus disease(COVID-19)pandemic in over 200 countries poses a substantial threat to human health.Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),which causes COVID-19,can be discharged with feces into the drainage system.However,a comprehensive understanding of the occurrence,presence,and potential transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in sewers,especially in community sewers,is still lacking.This study investigated the virus occurrence by viral nucleic acid testing in vent stacks,septic tanks,and the main sewer outlets of community where confirmed patients had lived during the early days of the epidemic in Wuhan,China.The results indicated that the risk of long-term emission of SARS-CoV-2 to the environment via vent stacks of buildings was low after confirmed patients were hospitalized.SARS-CoV-2 were mainly detected in the liquid phase,as opposed to being detected in aerosols,and its RNA in the sewage of septic tanks could be detected for only four days after confirmed patients were hospitalized.The surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage could be a sensitive indicator for the possible presence of asymptomatic patients in the community,though the viral concentration could be diluted more than ten times,depending on the sampling site,as indicated by the Escherichia coli test.The comprehensive investigation of the community sewage drainage system is helpful to understand the occurrence characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage after excretion with feces and the feasibility of sewage surveillance for COVID-19 pandemic monitoring.

文摘Some deep-sea microbes may incorporate inorganic carbon to reduce CO_(2) emission to upper layer and atmosphere.How the microbial inhabitants can be affected under addition of bicarbonate has not been studied using in situ fixed and lysed samples.In this study,we cultivated 40 L natural bottom water at~1000 m depth with a final concentration of 0.1 mmol/L bicarbonate for 40 min and applied multiple in situ nucleic acids collection(MISNAC)apparatus for nucleic acids extraction from the cultivation.Our classification result of the cultivation sample showed a distinct microbial community structure,compared with the samples obtained by Niskin bottle and six working units of MISNAC.Except for notable enrichment of Alteromonas,we detected prevalence of Asprobacter,Ilumatobacter and Saccharimonadales in the cultivation.Deep-sea lineages of Euryarchaeota,SAR406,SAR202 and SAR324 were almost completely absent from the cultivation and Niskin samples.This study revealed the dominant microbes affected by bicarbonate addition and Niskin sampling,which suggested rapid responses of deep-sea microbes to the environmental changes.
文摘Background: Nonagenarians are uncommon in our population. The study aim was to profile physical mobility, declared health problems, hypertension and diabetes frequency, awareness, treated and good control in urban low-income elders. Method: The study had cross-sectional design in population sample. Subjects were urban men and women older than 59 years at the medium low income stratum at a developing country. Survey was carried out from October 2008 to October 2009. All elder dwellers in randomly selected houses were surveyed;clinical exam after consent. Good Control: Systolic/Diastolic Results: There were 162 elders, 53 (32.7%) were male, 99 (61.1%) were younger than 70 years. Forty nine (30.2%) had impaired mobility;among them 20 (55.6%) were bed or home restricted, and 29 (44.4%) needed help to go out. Unstable health condition was found in 36 (22.2%), with significantly more men 19 (52.8%) vs 34 (27.0%), X2 = 8.5, df1, P 0.05. The frequency, proportions for: known diagnosis, on treatment, and good control were 75 (69.4%), 55 (73.3%), 45 (60.0%) and 12 of 45 (26.7%) for hypertension;53 (49.1%), 47 (88.7%), 42 (79.2%) and 9 of 42 (21.4%) for diabetes. The most frequent unstable conditions were cardiovascular. Conclusions: Data suggest unstable health no association with the oldest old. The small proportion in good control of Diabetes and/or hypertension could explain the large frequency of elders with unstable health and prevention of reaching nonagenarian age.
文摘Objective: to study the effect of family doctor team management model on type 2 diabetes patients in community. Methods: in the community of diabetic patients, 88 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as the research object, and divided into control group and observation group according to the principle of random grouping, 44 cases in each group. The control group adopted the conventional management mode, while the observation group adopted the intervention mode of family doctor team management, and both groups of patients intervened for one year. HbAlc, FPG and 2hPG before and after the intervention were observed and compared between the two groups, as well as the occurrence of complications after the intervention. Results: the levels of HbAlc, FPG and 2hPG in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). In the incidence of complications, the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant. Conclusion: the application of family doctor team management model in community type 2 diabetes patients can not only more effectively reduce the glycosylated hemoglobin level and blood glucose level of patients, but also reduce the incidence of complications of patients and improve the blood glucose control ability of patients, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
文摘Objective: the purpose of this study is to apply the continuous nursing in community hospitals to the nursing of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, and to observe the recovery effect and self-management ability of patients. Methods: a total of 98 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were selected from our community hospital from January 2020 to December 2020. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in the control group were still given routine outpatient intervention, while the patients in the research group were given continuous nursing in community hospitals, and the nursing effect and prognosis were compared. Results: fasting blood glucose index and two-hour postprandial blood glucose index in the study group were significantly improved compared with those in the control group, and their self-management ability was significantly improved compared with those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the application of continuous nursing intervention in community hospitals in nursing care of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes has better effect, which can effectively improve their self-management ability and control blood sugar level. It is recommended to apply it widely.

文摘The conversion of natural forests in subtropical regions to plantations or secondary forests has resulted in alterations in soil variables,microbial communities,and microbially mediated processes,including nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)emissions.However,how forest conversion influences soil N_(2)O reduction and the abundance and community structure of N_(2)O-reducing microorganisms remains unclear.Here,we investigated the impact of converting natural forests to a secondary forest and Cunninghamia lanceolata and Pinus massoniana plantations on the abundance and community structure of N_(2)O-reducing microorganisms in both bulk soils and soil aggregates.Compared with the secondary forest,plantations had higher soil pH and available phosphorus and moisture contents,lower soil NH_(4)^(+)content,but similar aggregate sizes.Compared with the secondary forest,the conversion of natural forest to plantations resulted in significantly higher soil N_(2)O reduction rate and increased abundances of nosZⅠand nosZⅡgenes in bulk soils and soil aggregates.The abundance of nosZⅠwas higher than that of nosZⅡin all tested soils and had a stronger association with N_(2)O reduction rate,suggesting the greater role of nosZⅠ-carrying microorganisms in N_(2)O consumption.Forest conversion had a greater impact on the community composition of nosZ I than nosZⅡ,mainly by increasing the relative abundances of alpha-and beta-Proteobacteria,while decreasing gamma-Proteobacteria.However,nosZⅡ-carrying microorganisms were exclusively dominated by Gemmatimonadetes and less affected by forest conversion.Taken together,our findings significantly contribute to our understanding of the eco-physiological characteristics of N_(2)O-reducing microorganisms and highlight the importance of nosZⅠ-carrying microorganisms in N_(2)O consumption in subtropical forest soils.
