RESUMEN

The presence of heavy metal ions in water environments has raised significant concerns, necessitating practical solutions for their complete removal. In this study, a combination of adsorption and electrocoagulation (ADS + EC) techniques was introduced as an efficient approach for removing high concentrations of nickel ions (Ni2+) from aqueous solutions, employing low-cost sunflower seed shell biochar (SSSB). The combined techniques demonstrated superior removal efficiency compared to individual methods. The synthesized SSSB was characterized using SEM, FT-IR, XRD, N2-adsorption-desorption isotherms, XPS, and TEM. Batch processes were optimized by investigating pH, adsorbent dosage, initial nickel concentration, electrode effects, and current density. An aluminum (Al) electrode electrocoagulated particles and removed residual Ni2+ after adsorption. Kinetic and isotherm models examined Ni2+ adsorption and electrocoagulation coupling with SSSB-based adsorbent. The results indicated that the kinetic data fit well with a pseudo-second-order model, while the experimental equilibrium adsorption data conformed to a Langmuir isotherm under optimized conditions. The maximum adsorption capacity of the activated sunflower seed shell was determined to be 44.247 mg.g-1. The highest nickel ion removal efficiency of 99.98% was observed at initial pH values of 6.0 for ADS and 4.0 for ADS/EC; initial Ni2+ concentrations of 30.0 mg/L and 1.5 g/L of SSSB; initial current densities of 0.59 mA/cm2 and 1.32 kWh/m3 were also found to be optimal. The mechanisms involved in the removal of Ni2+ from wastewater were also examined in this research. These findings suggest that the adsorption-assisted electrocoagulation technique has a remarkable capacity for the cost-effective removal of heavy metals from various wastewater sources.

RESUMEN

The present research involves removing copper and nickel ions from synthesized wastewater by using a simple, cheap, cost-effective, and sustainable activated green waste tea residue (AGWTR) adsorption coupled with electrocoagulation (ADS/EC) process in the presence of iron electrodes. By considering previous studies, their adsorbents used for treating their wastewaters firstly activate them by applying either chemicals or activating agents. However, our adsorbent was prepared without applying neither chemicals nor any activating agents. The operating parameters such as pH, hydraulic retention time, adsorbent dose, initial concentration, current density, and operating cost for both metals were optimized. In ADS/EC, the removal efficiency was obtained as 100% for copper and 99.99% for nickel ions. After the ADS/EC process, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis were used to characterize the adsorbent green waste tea residue. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic model results showed that the Langmuir and the pseudo-second-order were well-fitted to the experimental adsorption data better than the Freundlich and pseudo-first-order models for both Cu2+ and Ni2+ with their maximum adsorption capacity of 15.6 and 15.9 mg g-1, respectively. The above results give an option to recycle the metal-based industrial effluents, tea industry-based wastes, enabling a waste-to-green technique for adsorbing and removing the heavy metals and other pollutants in water.

RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate the outcome of incomplete revasculariszation by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods Data of 48 patients (age≥75 years old) underwent incomplete coronary revascularization during the period from 2008 to 2011 were collected.Their data before PCI and the 6 months follow-up results were comparatively analyzed.Results Six months after incomplete coronary revascularization,the LVEF was higher than that before revascularization ((48.10 ± 7.19)% vs (39.82 ± 8.23)%) and BNP declined significantly ((575.17 ± 67.27) ng/L vs (793.57 ± 87.53)ng/L).T peak-T end (Tp-Te) √RR and Tp-Te/QT also declined significantly (Tp-Te √RR:(96.38 ± 10.79)ms vs (147.81 ± 17.32)ms;Tp-Te/QT:(0.25 ±0.05) vs (0.30 ±0.07)) (P <0.05).Six months after PCI,LVEDV and LVESV were higher than those before surgery,but there was no significant difference(P > 0.05).Conclusion Incomplete coronary revascularization can improve heart function and stability of cardiac electrophysiology in elderly patients with coronary artery disease,but it can not prevent the development of left ventricular remodeling.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the value of intravenous arginine stimulation test (AST) in evaluating function of pancreatic islet beta cell response in patients of diabetes mellitus. Methods Twentyone patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1, DM1 group) and 113 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2, DM2 group) were recruited in this study. DM2 patients were divided into two sub-groups, DM2a group (duration of no more than 1 year, 58 patients) and DM2b group (more than 1 year, 55 patients). The serum levels of C-peptide (CP) were determined at fasting and 2,3,4,5 minutes after intravenous injection of 5 g arginine. Results In DM1 group, the level of CP after injection of arginine was. similar to the fasting level (P> 0.05 ). In DM2 group, the peak level of CP appeared at 3th minute (CP3) during AST, and was significantly higher than fasting CP level(P < 0.01 ). The level of fasting and arginine-stimulated CP in DM2a group was significantly higher than that in DM2b group, and the level of fasting and arginine-stimulated CP in DM2b group was significantly higher than that in DM1 group. The patients of DM1 group whose level of CP3 < 600 pmol/L all needed insulin injection to control hyperglycemia, and the coincident rate was 100.0%.In DM2 group, there were 91 patients whose CP3 ≥600 pmol/L, among which 85 patients could be well controlled with diet or oral hypoglycemic agents, and the coincidentrate was 93.4%; there were 22 patients whose CP3 < 600 pmol/L, among which 19 patients need insulin injection to control hyperglycemia, and the coincident rate was 86.4%. Conclusions AST is valuable in assessing the function of pancreatic islet beta cell in patients with diabetes mellitus. The level of CP3 ≥600 pmol/L can be considered as a reference in diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus.

RESUMEN

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-molecular weight heparin on the prevention of acute closure after percutaneous intracavitary coronary angioplasty.Methods 73 patients were randomly assigned to LMWH and SH groups.All patients underwent SPECT or CAG.Myocardial ischemia and hemorrhage complication were analyzed.Results In Group LMWH,no case of hemorrhage complication occurred,and in 3 cases angina occurred within 24h after the operation,which was proved by CAG to be acute closure of target vessel (the incidence rate 8.6%) .In Group SH,gum and subcutaneous hemorrhage occurred to 2 cases within 7h after the operation,hematuria occurred to 2 cases within 12h and one case died from cerebral hemorrhage,which was confirmed by CT (the total hemorrhage incidence 13.2%).Another 4 cases in Group SH suffered from re-occurrence of angina,which was confirmed by CAG to be acute closure of target vessel (10.5%).There was significant difference in hemorrhage complication between the two groups (P0.05)。Conclusion The results suggest that LMWH is safe and effective in the prevention of acute closure after native vessel coronary angioplasty.
