RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between esport participation and loneliness, as well as its moderating factors. Chinese college students (N = 216) self-reported their esport playing time and degree of loneliness each day immediately before bedtime for four consecutive weeks. The findings revealed that as playing time increased, students did not experience reduced sense of loneliness during playing esport, but they experienced a temporary and intensified feeling of loneliness the same day following gameplay. Students with higher general loneliness tended to feel more after-game loneliness associated with increased esport participation. Students with higher obsessive passion about esport tended to experience more loneliness (both in-game and after-game) associated with increased esport participation. Students with greater coping motivation about esport tended to experience more in-game loneliness associated with previous increased esport participation. Students who played esport less often with friends in person, or with more escape motivation toward esport, tended to increase esport participation time more following previous increased after-game loneliness. The findings suggested that college students should avoid utilizing esport to achieve a sense of belonging and should be cautious of the loneliness-inducing effect after gameplay. A healthy level of loneliness can be maintained by playing esport more with friends in person, learning strategies to avoid obsessive passion, coping motivation, and escape motivation towards esport.

RESUMO

The progress of sodium-ion batteries is currently confronted with a noteworthy obstacle, specifically the paucity of electrode materials that can store large quantities of Na+ in a reversible fashion while maintaining competitiveness. Herein, ultrafast and long-life sodium storage of metal selenides is rationally demonstrated by employing micron-sized nanosheets (Cu-CoSe@NC) through electron accumulation engineering. The nanosheet structure proves to be effective in reducing the transport distance of sodium ions. Furthermore, the addition of Cu ions enhances the electron conductivity of CoSe and accelerates charge delocalization. As an anode for sodium-ion batteries, Cu-CoSe@NC exhibits a noticeably enhanced specific capacity of 527.2 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 100 cycles. Additionally, Cu-CoSe@NC maintains a capacity of 428.5 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 after 800 cycles. It is possible to create sodium-ion full batteries with a high energy density of 101.1 W h kg-1. The superior sodium storage performance of Cu-CoSe@NC is attributed to the high pseudo-capacitance and diffusion control mechanisms, as evidenced by theoretical calculations and ex situ measurements.

RESUMO

Microbial Fe (III) reduction generally could outcompete methanogenesis due to its thermodynamic advantage, while the low bioavailability of Fe (III) compounds limits this process in the anaerobic digestion system, which could result in the low recovery of vivianite. Therefore, this study investigated the competition between Fe (III) reduction and methanogenesis in the presence of different biochar (pyrochar and hydrochar). The results showed that pyrochar obtained at 500 °C (P5) resulted in the highest Fe (III) reduction (80.3%) compared to the control experiment (29.1%). P5 also decreased methane production by 9.4%. Both conductivity and surface oxygen-containing functional groups contributed to the promotion of direct electron transfer for Fe (III) reduction. Genomic-centric metatranscriptomics analysis showed that P5 led to the highest enrichment of Geobacter soli A19 and induced the significant expression of out membrane cytochrome c and pilA in Geobacter soli A19, which was related to higher Fe (III) reduction.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) in postoperative analgesia following pediatric orthopedic surgery with the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol. DESIGN: Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING: The Seventh Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Eligible participants were children aged 3-15 years who were scheduled to undergo orthopedic surgery of the lower extremities under general anesthesia. INTERVENTIONS: A total of 58 children were randomly allocated into two groups: TEAS (n = 29) and sham-TEAS (n = 29). The ERAS protocol was used in both groups. In the TEAS group, the bilateral Hegu (LI4) and Neiguan (PC6) acupoints were stimulated starting from 10 min before anesthetic induction until the completion of surgery. In the sham-TEAS group, the electric stimulator was also connected to the participants; however, electrical stimulation was not applied. MEASURES: The primary outcome was the severity of pain before leaving the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and at postoperative 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h. Pain intensity was measured with the Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R). RESULTS: None of the participants had any TEAS-related adverse reactions. In comparison with the sham-TEAS group, FPS-R scores in the TEAS group were significantly decreased before leaving the PACU and at postoperative 2 h and 24 h (p < 0.05). The incidence of emergence agitation, intraoperative consumption of remifentanil, and time to extubation were significantly reduced in the TEAS group. Furthermore, the time to first press of the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump was significantly longer, the pressing times of the PCIA pump in 48 h after surgery was significantly decreased, and parental satisfaction was significantly improved (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: TEAS may safely and effectively relieve postoperative pain and reduce the consumption of perioperative analgesia in children following orthopedic surgery with the ERAS protocol. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200059577), registered on May 4, 2022.

RESUMO

The inevitable introduction of biodegradable carbon sources (such as monosaccharides and volatile fatty acids) originating from pretreatment units might affect the performance of the mainstream anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process. Two model carbon sources (glucose and acetate) were selected to investigate their effects on granule-based anammox systems under mainstream conditions (70 mg total nitrogen (TN) L-1, 15 °C). At a nitrogen loading rate of 2.87 ± 0.80 kg N m-3 d-1, a satisfactory effluent quality (TN < 10 mg L-1) was achieved in the presence of glucose or acetate at a chemical oxygen demand (COD/N) ratio of 0.5. The contribution of anammox to nitrogen removal decreased with increasing COD/N ratio to 1.0 because the expression of anammox functional genes was inhibited, whereas the expression of denitrifying functional genes was promoted. However, the nitrogen removal efficiency of the two considered reactors was maintained above 80 %. Self-stratification of the microbial community along the reactor height facilitated a functional balance through the retention of anammox bacteria in granules but resulted in washout of denitrifying bacteria in flocs under a high-flow pattern. These findings highlighted the advantages of granule-based systems in the mainstream anammox process due to their inherent biomass self-segregation property and the need for the development of targeted biomass retention strategies.

RESUMO

The rapid development of chemical industry has induced to the large amount of phenolic wastewater production. When the promising anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) was employed to treat the industrial wastewater, phenolic compounds would possibly inhibit the microbial performance. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) play an essential role in protecting cells from being intoxicated by phenolic compound while the distinct mechanism remains elusive. In this work, the interaction of phenol with anammox sludge EPSs and transmembrane ammonium transport (Amt) domain was explored at molecular level by using spectral method and molecular docking simulation. It was found that phenol statically quenched the fluorescent components of EPSs and the protein component dominated the interaction between EPSs and phenol. The overall interaction was an entropy-driven process with hydrophobic interaction as the main driving force, and the CO vibration responded preferentially. As phenol continued to penetrate into the cell surface, there were hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction force and π-π base-stacking forces between the Amt domain and phenol. The interaction between phenol and amino acid residues of the Amt domain would interfere the NH4+ transport and further affect the activity of anammox sludge. This work is beneficial for in-depth understanding the role of EPSs in protecting anammox sludge from inhibiting by phenolic pollutants.

RESUMO

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a promising biological technology for treating ammonium-rich wastewaters. However, due to the high sensitivity of anammox bacteria, many external factors have inhibitory effects on this process. As one of the commonly found toxic substances in wastewater, heavy metals (HMs) are possible to cause inhibition on anammox sludge, which then results in a declined treatment performance. Getting insights into the response mechanism of anammox sludge to HMs is meaningful for its application in treating this kind of wastewater. This review summarized the effect of different HMs on treatment performance of anammox bioreactor. In addition, the mechanism of toxication raised by HMs was discussed. Also, the potential mitigation strategies were summarized and the future prospects were outlooked. This review might provide useful information for both scientific research on and engineering application of anammox process for treating HMs containing wastewater.

RESUMO

With increased industrial development, vast heavy metals are inevitably discharged into wastewater. Cu2+ is one of the most hazardous heavy metals in biotreatment. However, the potential effect of Cu2+ on denitrifying granular sludge is still unknown. This work assesses the response of denitrifying granular sludge to Cu2+ stress from multiple aspects. The denitrifying granular sludge could tolerate 5 mg L-1 Cu2+, while the nitrogen removal efficiency decreased to 48.5% under 10 mg L-1 Cu2+. Enzyme activity and carbohydrate metabolism were inhibited, and the denitrifying bacteria were washed out under Cu2+ stress. The resulting deteriorated state was reversed by phosphate. The nitrogen removal efficiency recovered to 99% after 10 days, and the enzyme activity also recovered to the original level. Membrane transport, transcription and cellular processes were promoted. Overall, the results of this work provide a feasible strategy to rapidly restore the metabolic activity of denitrifying granular sludge under Cu2+ stress.

Gender( β =0.30), major ( β =0.01) and exercise frequency ( β =-0.29) have less effect on fitness APP usage among college students( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#College students have a high level of acceptance and usage of fitness APP. Grade, fitness awareness and purpose, sports type and fitness APP design are prominent factors affecting fitness APP usage among college students. The personalized custom design of fitness APP could be improved for college students.

RESUMO

Antibiotics are widely found in nitrogen-containing wastewater, which may affect the operation stability of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox)-based biological treatment systems. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) of anammox sludge play a pivotal role in combining with antibiotics; however, the exact role and how the structure of the leading component of EPSs (i.e., extracellular proteins) changes under antibiotic stress remain to be elucidated. Here, the interaction between sulfamethoxazole and the extracellular proteins of anammox sludge was investigated via multiple spectra and molecular simulation. Results showed that sulfamethoxazole statically quenched the fluorescent components of EPSs, and the quenching constant of the aromatic proteins was the largest, with a value of 1.73 × 104 M-1. The overall binding was an enthalpy-driven process, with ΔH = -75.15 kJ mol-1, ΔS = -0.175 kJ mol-1 K-1, and ΔG = -21.10 kJ mol-1 at 35 °C. The O-P-O and C═O groups responded first under the disturbance of sulfamethoxazole. Excessive sulfamethoxazole (20 mg L-1) would decrease the ratio of α-helix/(ß-sheet + random coil) of extracellular proteins, resulting in a loose structure. Molecular docking and dynamic simulation revealed that extracellular proteins would provide abundant sites to bind with sulfamethoxazole, through hydrogen bond and Pi-Akyl hydrophobic interaction forces. Once sulfamethoxazole penetrates into the cell surface and combines with the transmembrane ammonium transport domain, it may inhibit the NH4+ transport. Our findings enhance the understanding on the interaction of extracellular proteins and sulfamethoxazole, which may be valuable for deciphering the response property of anammox sludge under the antibiotic stress.

RESUMO

The arsenic in livestock wastewater would induce adverse impact on the biological treatment technology such as anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) play an important role in resisting such toxicity. Unfortunately, the role of EPS in protecting anammox from As(III) and the mechanisms underlying the protection still remains unclear. This work comprehensively evaluated the acute toxicity of arsenic on anammox sludge and investigated the binding property and interaction mechanism. The results revealed that the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of As(III) on anammox sludge was estimated to be 408 mg L-1, which decreased to 41.97 mg L-1 when EPS was exfoliated. Complexation and hydrophobic interactions were the leading forces in preventing arsenic invasion. Protein was the main component that complexes with As(III), and O-H, -NH, -CO were binding sites. The response sequence of organic component in EPS to As(III) was ordered as hydrocarbons-proteins-polysaccharides-aliphatic amines.

RESUMO

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), due to their sluggish Zn2+ diffusion kinetics, continue to face challenges in terms of achieving superior high rate, long-term cycling and low-temperature properties. Herein, K+ pre-intercalated layered V2O5 (K0.5V2O5) composites with metallic features are capable of delivering excellent zinc storage performance. Specifically, the K0.5V2O5 electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 251 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 1000 cycles. Even at a low temperature of -20 °C, high reversible capacities of 241 and 115 mA h g-1 can be obtained after 1000 cycles at 1 and 5 A g-1, respectively. The outstanding electrochemical performance is attributed to the incorporation of K+ into the layered V2O5, which acts as pillars to promote the Zn2+ diffusion and increase the structural stability during cycling. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the interlayer doping of K+ can benefit electron migration, and therefore enhance the Zn2+ (de)intercalation kinetics. Meanwhile, the Zn2+ storage mechanism of K0.5V2O5 is revealed by ex situ X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy characterization. This work may pave the way for exploiting high-performance cathodes for aqueous ZIBs.

RESUMO

The increase of emerging contaminants, such as surfactants, is one of the major challenges to biological wastewater treatment. However, the potential impact of linear alkylbenzene sulphonates (LAS), a major class of anionic surfactants, on anammox process is unclear. The long-term effects of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS, as a model LAS) on reactor performance, microbial community and sludge properties were investigated in this study. The presence of 5 mg L-1 SDBS promoted the release of extracellular microbial products from anammox granules and the wash-out of anammox population via effluent. Despite sludge disaggregation, the reactor performance was robust to the exposure of 5 mg L-1 SDBS due to functional redundancy. With the further increase of SDBS to 10 mg L-1, the metabolic activity of anammox biomass and the transcription and post-translation of hydrazine dehydrogenase were significantly decreased. The potential mechanism might be associated with the damage on cell membrane that induced the leakage of intracellular matrix. These results highlight the need to consider the potential risk of LAS to operation of anammox process in biological wastewater treatment plant.

RESUMO

The implementation of mainstream anammox has gained increasing attention. In this study, the feasibility of using sidestream anammox granules to start up mainstream reactors was investigated by comparing two switching strategies. A maximum nitrogen removal potential of 3.6 ± 0.2 kg N m-3 d-1 was obtained for the reactor after direct switching to mainstream conditions (70 mg TN L-1, 15 °C). Nevertheless, the reactor preacclimatized to 25 °C (Ma) exhibited a higher nitrogen removal potential of 7.0 ± 0.3 kg N m-3 d-1 at 15 °C, which is the highest volumetric nitrogen removal rate of mainstream anammox reactors to date. Candidatus Kuenenia stuttgartiensis was identified as the dominant anammox bacterium, and its relative abundance in two reactors remained stable throughout the whole operation (200 days). Moreover, with the aid of acclimatization, the activation energy was reduced and the specific growth rate became higher. These results indicated that the physiological evolution of the dominant anammox bacterium instead of interspecies selection was the main reason for the high potential during the switch to mainstream conditions. Therefore, using sidestream anammox granules as seed sludge to start up mainstream reactors was demonstrated to be feasible, and a switching strategy of acclimatization at 25 °C was recommended.

RESUMO

Cypermethrin (CP) is widely used for controlling agricultural and indoor vermin. Previous studies have reported the stereoselective difference of CP in biological activities. However, little is known about their potential mechanisms between metabolic phenotypes and endocrine-disrupting effects. Herein, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics combining metabolite identification and pathway analysis were applied to evaluate the stereoselective metabolic cdisorders induced by CP isomers in human adrenocortical carcinoma cells (H295R) culture medium. Then, gene expression levels related to disturbed metabolic pathways were assessed to verify according to metabolic phenotypes. Metabolomics profiles showed that [(S)-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl](1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate [(1R,3R,αS)-CP] induced the most significant changes in metabolic phenotypes than did the other stereoisomers. There are 10 differential metabolites (isoleucine, valine, leucine, ethanol, alanine, acetate, aspartate, arginine, lactate, and glucose) as well as two significantly disturbed pathways, including "pyruvate metabolism" and "alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism," that were confirmed in H295R cells culture medium of (1R,3R,αS)-CP compared with other stereoisomers. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array also confirmed the results of metabolomics. Our results can help to understand the potential mechanisms between the isomer selectivity in metabolic phenotypes and endocrine-disrupting effects. Data provided here not only lend authenticity to the cautions issued by the scientists and researchers but also offer a solution for the balance between environment and political regulations.

RESUMO

Cobalt sulfides have been popularly used in energy storage because of their high theoretical capacity and abundant redox reactions. However, poor reaction kinetics, rapid capacity decay, and severe polarization owing to volume changes during electrochemical reaction are still huge challenges for cobalt sulfides in practical applications. Herein, cobalt sulfide yolk-shell spheres were synthesized by phosphorus doping (P-CoS) to stabilize the structure of cobalt sulfides and improve their electronic/ion conductivity. Kinetic tests and density functional theory calculations confirm that the introduction of phosphorus into cobalt sulfides greatly reduces the diffusion barrier of Li+ in the intrinsic structure, thereby improving the reaction kinetics of electrode materials during the Li+ insertion/extraction process. In consequence, the P-CoS electrode delivers a high lithium storage capacity (781 mAh g-1 after 100 cycles at 0.2 A g-1 ), excellent rate capability (489 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1 ), and outstanding cycling stability (no significant capacity decay over 4000 cycles at 5 A g-1 ). Especially for sodium-ion battery application, the P-CoS electrode expresses a striking capacity of approximately 260 mAh g-1 at 2 A g-1 after 900 cycles.

RESUMO

The performance of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) granules were studied under long-term exposure to Fe3O4 NPs. The Fe3O4 NPs had no negative impacts on nitrogen removal performance with the addition of 2-200 mg L-1. The specific anammox activity (SAA) slightly decreased from 287.0 ± 13.2 to -253.0 ± 9.2 mg TN g-1VSS d-1 with the increase in Fe3O4 NPs level from 2 to 60 mg L-1, and then significantly enhanced to 381.8 ± 15.7 mg TN g-1VSS d-1 at 200 mg L-1 Fe3O4 NPs. And the change trends of the heme c content, extracellular polymeric substance amount and settling velocity were consistent with that of SAA. The Candidatus_Kuenenia was the dominant species during the entire experiment and its relative abundance was up to 33.4 % at the end the experiment. The results provide some useful information for comprehending the impact of Fe3O4 NPs on the performance of wastewater biological treatment systems.

RESUMO

Nanoparticles and antibiotics, the two most frequently detected emerging pollutants from different wastewater sources, are eventually discharged into wastewater treatment plants. In this study, the widely used materials CuNPs and oxytetracycline (OTC) were selected as target pollutants to investigate their joint effects on anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). The results indicated that the environmental concentration slightly inhibited the performance of the reactors, while the performance rapidly deteriorated within a week under high-level combined shocks (5.0 mg L-1 CuNPs and 2.0 mg L-1 OTC). After the second shock (2.5 mg L-1 CuNPs and 2.0 mg L-1 OTC), the resistance of anammox bacteria was enhanced, with an elevated relative abundance of Candidatus Kuenenia and absolute abundance of hzsA, nirS, and hdh. Moreover, the extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) content and specific anammox activity (SAA) showed corresponding changes. Improved sludge resistance was observed with increasing CuNP and OTC doses, which accelerated the recovery of performance.

RESUMO

Over 30% of commercial pesticides are racemic mixtures. Nowadays, the environmental safety of chiral pesticides has received more and more attention. Metalaxyl is a broad-spectrum fungicide with systemic function, which has a chiral carbon. Although its fungicidal activity almost entirely originates from the R-enantiomer, the enantioselective toxicity of metalaxyl in animals and human beings are not yet clear. In this study, the urinary metabolomics approach was applied to analyze the changes in metabolic phenotypes in adolescent rats by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In the urinary metabolomics results, the metabolic profiles of the different enantiomers were distinguishable, and the characteristic metabolites were different. Both in the exposure of R/S-enantiomers, the disturbed metabolic pathways in common were butanoate metabolism, valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, and glutamine and glutamate metabolism. These pathways were closely involved in gut microbiota. In addition to the disturbed metabolic pathways common to both, three metabolic pathways were abnormal in the exposure of S-metalaxyl, including aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, arginine biosynthesis, and citrate cycle. These disturbed metabolic pathways could cause genetic diseases and affect the liver function. These results indicate that a specific insight into the effects of different metalaxyl enantiomers on metabolic disturbance.
