RESUMEN

Prefoldin Subunit 5 (PFDN5) plays a critical role as a member of the prefoldins (PFDNs) in maintaining a finely tuned equilibrium between protein production and degradation. However, there has been no comprehensive analysis specifically focused on PFDN5 thus far. Here, a comprehensive multi-omics (transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics) analysis, systematic molecular biology experiments (in vitro and in vivo), transcriptome sequencing and PCR Array were performed for identifying the value of PFDN5 in pan-cancer, especially in Gastric Cancer (GC). We found PFDN5 had the potential to serve as a prognostic and therapeutic biomarker in GC. And PFDN5 could promote the proliferation of GC cells, primarily by affecting the cell cycle, cell death and immune process etc. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms and precise treatments of in GC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Many studies have used pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) as the primary endpoint for the short-term efficacy in gastric cancer, but whether it is a good indicator for overall survival is poorly understood. METHODS: This study reviewed a multi-institution database of patients who underwent radical gastrectomy and achieved pCR after NAC. Cox regression models were used to identify clinicopathologic predictors of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Survival curves were calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by means of the log-rank test. RESULTS: OS and DFS in patients with pCR were significantly higher than in those with non-pCR (both P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis confirmed pCR was an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS (P = 0.009 and P = 0.002 for OS and DFS, respectively). However, the survival benefit for pCR was present only for ypN0 tumors (P = 0.004 and P = 0.001 for OS and DFS, respectively), and OS (P = 0.292) and DFS (P = 0.285) among patients with ypN+ gastric cancer could not be stratified by pCR. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, pCR is an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS, but the survival benefit for pCR is present only for ypN0 tumors but not ypN+ tumors.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Emerging studies have shown that pyroptosis plays a non-negligible role in the development and treatment of tumors. However, the mechanism of pyroptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains still unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the role of pyroptosis in CRC. METHODS: A pyroptosis-related risk model was developed using univariate Cox regression and LASSO Cox regression analyses. Based on this model, pyroptosis-related risk scores (PRS) of CRC samples with OS time > 0 from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were calculated. The abundance of immune cells in CRC tumor microenvironment (TME) was predicted by single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Then, the responses to chemotherapy and immunotherapy were predicted by pRRophetic algorithm, the tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE) and SubMap algorithms, respectively. Moreover, the Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal (CTRP) and PRISM Repurposing dataset (PRISM) were used to explore novel drug treatment strategies of CRC. Finally, we investigated pyroptosis-related genes in the level of single-cell and validated the expression levels of these genes between normal and CRC cell lines by RT-qPCR. RESULTS: Survival analysis showed that CRC samples with low PRS had better overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). CRC samples with low PRS had higher immune-related gene expression and immune cell infiltration than those with high PRS. Besides, CRC samples with low PRS were more likely to benefit from 5-fluorouracil based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. In novel drug prediction, some compounds such as C6-ceramide and noretynodrel, were inferred as potential drugs for CRC with different PRS. Single-cell analysis revealed pyroptosis-related genes were highly expressed in tumor cells. RT-qPCR also demonstrated different expression levels of these genes between normal and CRC cell lines. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, this study provides a comprehensive investigation of the role of pyroptosis in CRC at the bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) levels, advances our understanding of CRC characteristics, and guides more effective treatment regimens.

RESUMEN

Stabilizing Cr(III) in tannery sludge (TS) via harmless method has always been the goal of environmental pollution treatment. In this study, a simple method to stabilize Cr(III) in TS is proposed via adding kaolin, based on the fact a large amount of organic matter contained in TS. Comprehensive characterizations confirm that kaolin can stabilize Cr(Ⅲ) via its abundant -OH and lamellar structure. Moreover, there are hydrogen bond interactions and ligand exchange-surface complexation between organic matter and kaolin, which is more conducive to form a stable ternary complex with Cr(III), in a state of organic matter-Cr(III)-kaolin. Simultaneously, the BCR sequential extraction experiment shows that the unstable water and acid soluble state of Cr(III) are reduced (from 0.61% to 0.35%), which further indicates that the stabilization of Cr(III) is successful.

RESUMEN

It has been established that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in various cancer types, and there are vast numbers of long noncoding RNA transcripts that have been identified by high-throughput methods. However, the biological function of many novel aberrantly expressed lncRNAs remains poorly elucidated, especially in gastric cancer (GC). Here, we first identified a novel lncRNA termed LENGA (Low Expression Noncoding RNA in Gastric Adenocarcinoma), which was significantly downregulated in GC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Next, we found that reduced expression of LENGA in GC was also associated with a shorter life expectancy. The proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells were increased after LENGA knockdown but restrained after LENGA overexpression in vitro and in vivo. It was further demonstrated that LENGA physically binds to BRD7 (bromodomain-containing 7) in the bromodomain domain and acts as a scaffold that enhances the interaction between BRD7 and TP53 (tumor protein p53), regulating the expression of a subset of genes in the p53 pathway, including CDKN1A (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A) and PCDH7 (protocadherin 7), at the transcriptional level. Consistently, the expression of CDKN1A has a positive correlation with LENGA in GC patients. Taken together, this study uncovers a novel tumor suppressor lncRNA, LENGA, and describes its biological function, molecular mechanism, and clinical significance. This highlights the potential importance of targeting the LENGA/BRD7/TP53 axis in GC treatment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This retrospective study aimed to compare the feasibility and effectiveness of a modified Billroth-II with Braun (B-II Braun) reconstruction and those of a Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. METHODS: From January 2016 to December 2019, 247 patients underwent total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG), with B-II Braun reconstruction for 145 patients and R-Y reconstruction for 102 patients. The patients' data were collected prospectively and reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: In this study, the median times of the operation were statistically shorter for B-II Braun than for R-Y (167 min [range, 110-331 min] vs 191 min [range, 123-384 min]; p = 0.001), including anastomotic times (33 min [range, 30-42 min] vs 42 min [range, 40-48 min]; p = 0.001). After a short-term follow-up period, endoscopy showed 31 cases of bile reflux (21.4%), 15 cases of grade 2 gastritis (10.3%), and 6 cases of grade 2 food residue (4.1%) in the B-II Braun group after 6 months. After 1 year, 10 patients (6.9%) had grade 2 gastritis and 2 patients (1.4%) had grade 3 gastritis. However, the remnant stomach of the two groups did not differ significantly in the rate of gastric residue (p = 0.112 after 6 months; p = 0.579 after 1 year, respectively), gastritis (p = 0.726 after 6 months; p = 0.261 after 1 year, respectively), or bile reflux (p = 0.262 after 6 months; p = 0.349 after 1 year, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: For gastric cancer patients, TLDG with modified B-II Braun reconstruction could be technically feasible. It has an acceptable range of postoperative complications and is effective in preventing bile reflux into the gastric remnant.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Integrin αvß3 has been proposed as crucial determinant for tumor sustained progression and a molecular marker for the estimation of tumor angiogenesis. Our study suggested that integrin αvß3 could efficiently promote lung cancer cell proliferation and stem-like phenotypes in a tribbles homolog 3 (TRIB3) dependent manner. RESULT: Integrin αvß3 could mediate the activation of FAK/AKT pro-survival signaling pathway. Meanwhile, activated TRIB3 interacted with AKT to upregulated FOXO1 and SOX2 expression, resulting in sustained tumor progression in lung cancer. Our further analysis revealed that TRIB3 was significantly upregulated in lung tumor tissues and correlated with the poor outcome in clinical patients, indicating the potential role of TRIB3 in diagnostic and prognostic estimation for patients with lung cancer. CONCLUSION: Our study showed here for the first time that integrin αvß3 promote lung cancer development by activating the FAK/AKT/SOX2 axis in a TRIB3 dependent signaling pathway, and interrupting TRIB3/AKT interaction significantly improved the outcome of chemotherapy in tumor-bearing mice, representing a promising therapeutic strategy in lung cancer.

RESUMEN

Cetuximab is one of the most valuable targeted therapy monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mechanisms affecting cetuximab resistance in CRC treatment remain unclear. Metabolism, especially fatty acid metabolism, has been reported to play an important role in tumor treatment. The correlation between cetuximab resistance and metabolism and whether it can be a new biomarker to evaluate the sensitivity of cetuximab in CRC treatment still need to be further explored. In this study, we perform a comprehensive analysis to confirm the relationship between fatty acid metabolism and cetuximab resistance, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to cetuximab drug resistance in CRC are screened by bioinformatics technology. We find that acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta (ACACB), ADH1C, CES1, MGLL, FMO5, and GPT are the hub DEGs, and ACACB is the most important biomarker among them. In addition, we systematically analyze the role of ACACB in the tumorigenesis of CRC, including tissue expression, CRC cell growth, cetuximab sensitivity, and potential downstream pathways, by using bioinformatics techniques, in vitro experiments and clinical cohort validation. Our results confirm that cetuximab resistance is correlated with metabolism. ACACB can lead to decreased sensitivity to cetuximab in CRC, and its mechanism may be related to EGFR phosphorylation, which could affect the activation of the mTOR/Akt signaling pathway and regulation of CDT1-, cyclin D1-, and p21-related cell cycle modulation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The impact of microsatellite status on lymph node (LN) yield during lymphadenectomy and pathological examination has never been assessed in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we aimed to appraise the association between microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and LN yield after curative gastrectomy. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1757 patients with GC undergoing curative gastrectomy and divided them into two groups: MSI-H (n = 185(10.5%)) and microsatellite stability (MSS) (n = 1572(89.5%)), using a five-Bethesda-marker (NR-24, BAT-25, BAT-26, CAT-25, MONO-27) panel. The median LN count and the percentage of specimens with a minimum of 16 LNs (adequate LN ratio) were compared between the two groups. The log odds (LODDS) of positive LN count (PLNC) to negative LN count (NLNC) and the target LN examined threshold (TLNT(x%)) were calculated in both groups. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found in the median LN count between MSI-H and MSS groups for the complete cohort (30 vs. 28, p = 0.031), for patients undergoing distal gastrectomy (DG) (30 vs. 27, p = 0.002), for stage II patients undergoing DG (34 vs. 28, p = 0.005), and for LN-negative patients undergoing DG (28 vs. 24, p = 0.002). MSI-H was an independent factor for higher total LN count in patients undergoing DG (p = 0.011), but it was not statistically correlated to the adequate LN ratio. Statistically significant differences in PLNC, NLNC and LODDS were found between MSI-H GC and MSS GC (all p < 0.001). The TLNT(90%) for MSI-H and MSS groups were 31 and 25, respectively. TLNT(X%) of MSI-H GC was always higher than that of MSS GC regardless of the given value of X%. CONCLUSIONS: MSI-H was associated with higher LN yield in patients undergoing gastrectomy for GC. Although MSI-H did not affect the adequacy of LN harvest, we speculate that a greater lymph node yield is required during pathological examination in MSI-H GC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Opinions vary on the medial border of D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer. Most surgeons place the medial border along the left side of the superior mesenteric vein, but some consider the left side of the superior mesenteric artery as the medial border. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer with the medial border along the left side of superior mesenteric artery. DESIGN: This was a retrospective study. SETTINGS: The study was conducted in specialized colorectal cancer department of 5 tertiary hospitals. PATIENTS: Patients receiving laparoscopic D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer from January 2013 to December 2018 were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After propensity score matching, 307 patients receiving laparoscopic D3 lymphadenectomy along the left side of the superior mesenteric artery were assigned to the superior mesenteric artery group and 614 patients were assigned to the superior mesenteric vein group. Univariate, multivariate, and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to assess the clinical data. RESULTS: The short-term outcomes were similar between the 2 groups; however, the superior mesenteric artery group had a higher rate of chylous leakage (p < 0.001). More lymph nodes were harvested from the superior mesenteric artery group than from the superior mesenteric vein group (p = 0.001). The number (p = 0.005) of metastatic lymph nodes and the lymph node ratio (p = 0.041) in main nodes were both higher in the superior mesenteric artery group. The 2 groups had similar long-term survival, but the superior mesenteric artery group tended to show better disease-free survival in patients with stage disease III (p = 0.056). LIMITATIONS: This was a retrospective, nonrandomized study. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic D3 lymphadenectomy along the left side of the superior mesenteric artery, except for a higher rate of chylous leakage, had short-term outcomes comparable to the superior mesenteric vein group. The superior mesenteric artery group tended to achieve better disease-free survival in patients with stage III disease, but further study is required to better elucidate differences in these approaches because risks/benefits do exist.

RESUMEN

Transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) is a novel approach to radical surgery for low rectal cancer. taTME is associated with the benefits of a higher rate of free distal resection margins (DRM) under direct visualization, better visualization of the mesorectal plane, and the feasibility of overcoming the restriction of the distal pelvis. Thus, it is increasingly used globally. In this review, we investigated whether taTME yields better short- and long-term outcomes than laparoscopic TME.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Evidence supporting the importance of apical lymph nodes (LNs) and the potential long-term impact of LN metastases at the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) lymphectomy remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of LNs at the IMA (IMA-LN) in sigmoid and rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 265 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic sigmoid or rectal cancer surgery between August 2016 and May 2020. They were divided into two groups according to the pathological results of the IMA LNs: IMA-LN negative (n = 248) and IMA-LN positive (n = 17). RESULTS: The IMA-LN negative group had significantly better overall survival (OS) (p = .020) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p = .000) than did the IMA-LN positive group. IMA-LN metastasis was associated with worse OS and DFS regardless of the pN stage. Patients with IMA-LN metastasis had a higher risk of postoperative recurrence, especially liver (p = .000) and lung (p = .025) metastasis, than did those without metastasis. However, there was no significant difference in the local recurrence rate between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: IMA-LN metastasis is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in sigmoid and rectal cancer. Dissecting and evaluating IMA-LN separately is a more accurate and practical method for predicting prognosis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The impact of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) phenotype on lymph node yield after lymphadenectomy has never been discussed in gastric cancer (GC). In this study, we aimed to assess the association of microsatellite status with negative lymph node count (NLNC) as well as its prognostic value. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 1491 GC patients and divided them into two groups: MSI-HGC (n = 141 [9.5%]) and microsatellite stability (MSSGC ) (n = 1350 [90.5%]). The NLNC and survival data were compared between the two groups. The log odds of positive lymph nodes (LNs) to negative LNs and the target lymph node examined threshold (TLNT) were calculated in both groups. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was found in median NLNC (26 vs. 23, p < .001) between MSI-HGC and MSSGC patients. MSI status was an independent factor for NLNC (p < .001). NLNC showed positive prognostic value for cases with metastatic lymph node (LN+ ) in both MSI-HGC and MSSGC groups. The TLNT(90%) for MSI-HGC and MSSGC were 33 and 26, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: MSI-HGC was associated with higher NLNC in GC patients and this was independent of the presence of LN+ . However, more LNs are needed during pathological examination to capture LN+ cases in MSI-HGC.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of different suture reinforcement methods for anastomotic leakage and other postoperative complications after the use of a laparoscopic double stapling technique (DST). METHODS: We collected the data of 124 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer from July 2017 to September 2018 at our institution. Patients were divided into three groups according to the suture reinforcement methods: intermittent, continuous suture reinforcement, and non-reinforcement (n = 41, 41, and 42, respectively). One-way analysis of variance, χ2 , Fisher's exact, and nonparametric tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Among the 124 patients, there were no statistically significant differences in operation times, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stays and recovery of bowel movement. Nine patients were diagnosed with anastomotic leakage (AL). The incidences of serious AL in the intermittent and continuous suture reinforcement groups were lower than that in the control group, with lower reoperation rate, shorter average lengths of stay and lower treatment costs of two experimental groups. CONCLUSION: Intermittent and continuous sutures after laparoscopic DST is effective, safe, and feasible on anastomotic leakage prevention. These procedures could be popularized in rectal surgery on patients with high risk of AL.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The prognosis of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with outlet obstruction is poor. Gastrectomy with curative intent is often initially impossible or difficult. OBJECTIVE: We report our experience of curative distal gastrectomy after laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy and fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and docetaxel (FLOT) chemotherapy to examine the feasibility and safety of this modified strategy for locally advanced gastric cancer with outlet obstruction, initially deemed unresectable. METHODS: Between October 2017 and June 2019, 15 patients diagnosed with locally advanced gastric cancer with outlet obstruction sequentially underwent gastrojejunostomy, received four cycles of FLOT chemotherapy, and underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with curative intent (R0 resection + D2 lymphadenectomy). Clinical data were retrospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS: R0 resection was possible in 12/15 patients, laparoscopically in 11, and one conversion to laparotomy was necessary. There was no perioperative mortality in the 12 patients. Pathologic evaluation of the resected specimens revealed that complete tumor grade regression 1a (TRG1a), TRG1b, TRG2, and TRG3 occurred in 3, 2, 4, and 3 patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: This case series showed that curative surgical resection was feasible as a staged approach for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer with outlet obstruction, after initial staged gastrojejunostomy and chemotherapy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We compared the 3-year overall survival between cephalomedial-to-lateral approach proctectomy (CEMP) and medial-to-lateral approach proctectomy (MAP) in patients undergoing laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer. The advantages of CEMP and the clinical value of No. 253 lymph nodes resection have not been objectively analyzed in literature. METHODS: This was a prospective, two-arm, multicenter, single-blinded, randomized trial. The primary endpoint was 3-year overall survival, and secondary endpoints included safety, feasibility, oncological radicality (including number of No. 253 lymph nodes harvested), short-term outcome, 3-year disease-free survival, rate of postoperative complications, mortality, and rate of recurrence. RESULTS: From May 2016 to July 2020, 506 patients were enrolled-256 in the CEMP group and 250 in the MAP group. Comparison of overall survival and disease-free survival showed that there was treatment benefit in the CEMP group (28.22 ± 12.12 vs. 27.44 ± 13.06, p = 0.485; 27.24 ± 12.01 vs. 26.42 ± 12.81; p = 0.457). More No. 253 lymph nodes were harvested in the CEMP group, and cases with positive No. 253 lymph nodes had worse prognosis in stage III. Surgical safety was equal for both approaches. CONCLUSIONS: Dissection of No. 253 lymph nodes may be important to improve clinical prognosis, but further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm this finding.

RESUMEN

A series of Gemini surfactants with an asymmetric structure (PKO 15-3(OH)-n; n = 12, 14 and 16) were synthesized through a simple two-step reaction consisting of a ring-opening reaction followed by a quaternization reaction. The surface tension measurements indicated that the surface activities of PKO 15-3(OH)-n were higher than those of traditional single-chain and symmetrical Gemini surfactants. The thermodynamic parameters obtained from electrical conductivity measurements showed that the micellization processes of PKO 15-3(OH)-n were spontaneous and entropy-driven. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements confirmed that PKO 15-3(OH)-n molecules with a higher asymmetric degree could form vesicles, in which surfactant molecules were interdigitated side-by-side in the vesicle membrane. The obtained results are not in accordance with those calculated from the critical packing theory, which can further complement the theory.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To investigate feasibility of laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection with pelvic peritoneum closure (LAPR-PPC) for lower rectal cancer. METHODS: LAPR-PPC has been used for lower rectal cancer in our institution since 2014. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the data from 86 patients who underwent LAPR-PPC and compared with the data from 96 patients who underwent laparoscopic APR without PPC (LAPR) from January 2013 to December 2018. RESULTS: The rate of perineal surgical site infection (SSI) (18.75% (18/96) vs. 5.81% (5/86), p < 0.01), delayed (> 4 weeks) perineal healing (12.50% (12/96) vs. 3.49% (3/86), p = 0.027), ileus (7.29% (7/96) vs 1.16% (1/86), p = 0.044), and postoperative perineal hernia (PPH, 5.21% (5/96) vs. 0% (0/86), p = 0.032) were significantly lower in LAPR-PPC group than LAPR group. The patients in LAPR-PPC group had shorter hospitalization time (21.32 ± 11.95 days vs. 13.93 ± 11.51 days, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: PPC procedure enabled the reduction in perineal wound complications, ileus, PPH, and consequently shortened hospitalization time. LAPR-PPC is beneficial for the patients with lower rectal cancer.

RESUMEN

Flow-electrode electrochemical desalination (FEED) processes (e.g., flow-electrode capacitive deionization), which use flowable carbon particles as the electrodes, have attracted increasing attention, holding the promise for continuous desalination and high desalting efficiency. While it is generally believed that carbon particles with abundant microporous and large specific capacitances (e.g., activated carbon, AC) should be ideal candidates for FEED electrodes, we provide evidence to the contrary, showing that highly conductive electrodes with low specific surface area can outperform microporous AC-based electrodes. This study revealed that FEED using solely high surface area AC particles (∼2000 m2 g-1, specific capacitance of ∼44 F g-1, average salt adsorption rate of ∼0.15 µmol cm-2 min-1) was vastly outperformed by electrodes based solely on low-surface area carbon black (CB, ∼70 m2 g-1, ∼0.5 F g-1, ∼0.75 µmol cm-2 min-1). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy results suggest that the electrode formed by CB particles led to more effective electronic charge percolation, likely contributing to the improved desalination performance. In addition, we propose and demonstrate a novel operation mode, termed single cycle (SC), which greatly simplified the FEED cell configuration and enabled simultaneous charging and discharging. Using SC mode with CB flow electrodes delivered an increased average salt removal rate relative to the more traditional short-circuited closed cycle (SCC) mode, achieving up to 1.13 µmol cm-2 min-1. Further investigations demonstrate that up to 50% of energy input would be avoided when using CB flow electrodes operated under SC mode as compared to that of AC flow electrodes operated under SCC mode. In summary, the FEED process presented in this study provided an innovative and promising approach toward high-efficient and low-cost brackish water desalination.

RESUMEN

While flow-electrode CDI is a promising desalination technology that has major advantages when the electrodes are operated in the short-circuited closed-cycle (SCC) mode, little attention has been paid to the water recovery rate, which, in the SCC mode, is determined by the need for partial replacement of the saline electrolyte of the flow electrodes. Results of this study show that an extremely high water recovery rate of ∼95% can be achieved when desalting a 1000 mg NaCl L-1 brackish influent to a potable level of 150 mg L-1. The improved performance with regard to the electrical cost is related, at least in part, to the alleviated concentration polarization at the membrane/electrolyte interface during electrosorption. In effect, the current efficiency decreases with an increase in the water recovery rate. This finding is ascribed to inevitable co-ion leakage since the flow electrodes reject ions with the same charge. In addition, water transport across the ion exchange membranes also influences the water recovery rate. The effect of partial replacement of the saline electrolyte during (semi-)continuous operation requires particular consideration because the associated dilution of the carbon content in the flow electrodes results in a decrease in process performance.
