Innovative Amidoxime Nanofiber Membranes for Highly Effective Adsorption of Ga(III) from Waste Bayer Solution

The effective treatment of Ga-containing wastewater from the Bayer process is a promising strategy for the sustainable development of the gallium resource. Among the adsorption materials, nanofibers play indispensable roles in the recovery of gallium with their adsorption capacity. However, developing facile, easy scale-up, and low-cost grafting methods for polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membranes (PAN NFs) is still challenging in view of the traditional grafting methods with lower grafting rates and strict requirement of fiber flexibility. In this study, a newly and highly efficient amidoxime nanofiber membrane preparation method with electrostatic spinning technology was explored to apply in the Ga(III) adsorption from Ga-containing wastewater. The results of Ga(III) adsorption studies by amidoxime polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membranes (AOPAN NFs) showed that Ga(III) was remarkably consistent with the Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 39.80 mg/g of Ga(III) at 30 °C, a gallium concentration of 200 mg/L, a solid to liquid ratio of 1.0 mg/mL, and a solution pH of 12, which is generally higher than those of other materials. The kinetic adsorption experiment demonstrated that the adsorption process was controlled by a chemical reaction and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism of AOPAN NFs was proposed, and the oxime group played an essential role in the adsorption process. This strategy combines the advantages of AOPAN NFs to open up a new way to develop the next generation of gallium adsorption materials

Table_2_Immune-Related Gene Expression in Ducks Infected With Waterfowl-Origin H5N6 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Viruses.docx

Clade 2.3.4.4 H5 avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are widely prevalent and of significant concern to the poultry industry and public health in China. Nowadays, the clade 2.3.4.4 H5N6 virus has become a dominant AIV subtype among domestic ducks in southern China. We found that waterfowl-origin clade 2.3.4.4 H5N6 viruses (A/goose/Guangdong/16568/2016, GS16568 and A/duck/Guangdong/16873/2016, DK16873) isolated from southern China in 2016 could replicate in multiple organs of inoculated ducks. DK16873 virus caused mild infections and killed 2/5 of inoculated ducks, and GS16568 virus did not kill inoculated ducks. In addition, the two viruses could be transmitted via direct contact between ducks. DK16873 and GS16568 viruses killed 2/5 and 1/5 of contact ducks, respectively. Furthermore, ducks inoculated with the two H5N6 viruses exhibited different expressions of immune-related genes in their lungs. The expression of RIG-I, TLR3 and IL6 was significantly upregulated at 12 h post-inoculation (HPI) and most of the tested immune-related genes were significantly upregulated at 3 days post-inoculation (DPI). Notably, the expression of RIG-I and IL-6 in response to DK16873 virus was significantly higher than for GS16568 virus at 12 HPI and 3 DPI. Our research have provided helpful information about the pathogenicity, transmission and immune-related genes expression in ducks infected with new H5N6 AIVs.</p

Table_2_A Concomitant Cancer Diagnosis Is Associated With Poor Cardiovascular Outcomes Among Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients.DOCX

Background and AimsWith the increasing coexistence of cardiovascular disease and cancer in contemporary clinical practice, studies on the outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with cancer has not been systematically investigated. This study sought to investigated the effect of coexisting cancer on the treatment and clinical outcomes among AMI patients.MethodsWe retrospectively integrated and analyzed cardiovascular data of 6,607 AMI patients between June 2016 and December 2019. Patients with cancer were compared with pair-matched cancer-naive patients. Cox proportional hazards models were constructed to compare the differences in outcomes.ResultsOf 6,607 patients, 2.3% (n = 150) had been diagnosed with cancer. Patients with cancer were older (70.3 ± 10.0 vs. 63.9 ± 11.5 years, P ConclusionsAMI patients with a concomitant diagnosis of cancer tended to be treated with conservative therapies and were at substantially higher risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes.</p
