    Adsorption is a commonly used method for gas pollutant removal. The adsorption performances of four commercial adsorbents have been compared in this work through a fixed-bed reactor. The single gas adsorption results show that zeolite is more effective for SO<sub>2</sub>, NO, and CO<sub>2</sub> removal among the four adsorbents. SO<sub>2</sub>, NO, and CO<sub>2</sub> are mainly monolayer adsorbed on adsorbents. Physically adsorbed SO<sub>2</sub> is the main adsorption species on 13X zeolite, 5A zeolite, and mesoporous alumina according to TPD-MS, while SO<sub>2</sub> is more easily oxidized on activated carbon than the other adsorbents. NO can be oxidized more easily on zeolite than activated carbon. Only physically adsorbed CO<sub>2</sub> is detected on these adsorbents. Multicomponent adsorption is investigated on 13X zeolite and activated carbon. For gas adsorption on 13X zeolite, the inhibitive effect of NO on SO<sub>2</sub> is 26.3% higher than that of CO<sub>2</sub> on SO<sub>2</sub>, indicating that NO plays a dominant role in SO<sub>2</sub> adsorption. Physically adsorbed NO is the only NO adsorption species on 13X when SO<sub>2</sub> exists, showing NO oxidation on 13X is greatly inhibited by SO<sub>2</sub>. For gas adsorption on activated carbon, chemically adsorbed SO<sub>2</sub> increases largely after NO is put in, showing that the promotive effect of NO on SO<sub>2</sub> is mainly for the chemically adsorbed SO<sub>2</sub>. In the presence of SO<sub>2</sub>, chemically adsorbed NO almost disappeared, which indicates that SO<sub>2</sub> mainly dominates chemically adsorbed NO on activated carbon. The effects of adsorbent performance on multicomponent gas adsorption are reflected by the gas adsorption mechanism. These findings provide considerable specific information for industrial flue gas purification

    Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common health issue affecting individuals worldwide. Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI) pose a significant clinical challenge, with limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Recent research suggests that the urobiome, the microbial community residing in the urinary tract, may play a crucial role in the development and recurrence of urinary tract infections. However, the specific virulence factor genes (VFGs) driven by urobiome contributing to infection recurrence remain poorly understood. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between urobiome driven VFGs and recurrent urinary tract infections. By analyzing the VFGs composition of the urinary microbiome in patients with rUTI compared to a control group, we found higher alpha diversity in rUTI patients compared with healthy control. And then, we sought to identify specific VFGs features associated with infection recurrence. Specifically, we observed an increased abundance of certain VGFs in the recurrent infection group. We also associated VFGs and clinical data. We then developed a diagnostic model based on the levels of these VFGs using random forest and support vector machine analysis to distinguish healthy control and rUIT, rUTI relapse and rUTI remission. The diagnostic accuracy of the model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and the area under the ROC curve were 0.83 and 0.75. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex interplay between the VFGs of urobiome and recurrent urinary tract infections, highlighting potential targets for therapeutic interventions to prevent infection recurrence.</p
