Prenatally detected double trisomy: Klinefelter and Down syndrome

Double trisomies are a rare occurrence. We report the first case of a Down and Klinefelter's syndrome (48,XXY,+21) in a fetus that was prenatally diagnosed during the 15th week of pregnancy. Even though the nasal bone was present, and the color-Doppler study of the ductus venosus and the nuchal thickness were normal, the maternal serum test results indicated an increased risk of Down syndrome and consequentially a genetic amniocentesis was performed. A 48,XXY,+21 karyotype was observed and the patient decided to terminate the pregnancy. In this case, we did not find the typical ultrasound (US) signs that would have led us to the chromosomopathy; furthermore, we emphasize the advantages of using biochemical screening which, in our case, were crucial in arriving at the correct diagnosis.

竹炭对微污染水中有机污染物的吸附

测定了竹炭对微污染水源水中CODMn,UV254,UV410的去除效果,研究了竹炭粒径、竹炭用量、吸附时间、溶液pH值对竹炭吸附特性的影响,并由正交试验确定出竹炭去除水中CODMn,UV254,UV410的最佳吸附条件。研究表明,粒径越小,竹炭的吸附效果越好;竹炭用量为100mg、吸附时间为1h时,竹炭对各指标去除率最高;弱酸条件对竹炭对各指标的吸附最有利,当pH值=4时竹炭对各指标的去除率最大;正交试验确定出动态吸附最佳操作条件为：竹炭粒径为100～200目,质量为100mg,振荡吸附1h,原水pH值为4。     

优化热脱附技术对十溴联苯醚污染土壤的适用性及修复效果

为了探索绿色、高效、环保的修复PBDEs污染土壤的技术,在热脱附技术基础上将木炭同时作为尾气吸附剂和燃烧热源,处理不同十溴联苯醚污染水平的PBDEs(多溴联苯醚)污染土壤,通过14种不同溴代PBDEs同系物分析十溴联苯醚的降解产物组分并计算其去除率. 结果表明:在热脱附技术处理后,十溴联苯醚初始污染水平分别为500、800和1 000 μg/kg,污染土壤中PBDEs的去除率分别为63%、81%、94%. 14种不同溴代PBDEs同系物在热脱附反应后的残留产物中均有检出,其中热脱附处理后的土壤中以三溴和四溴PBDEs产物占优势,而尾气中则以四溴和五溴PBDEs产物为主. 根据热脱附试验前后土壤中PBDEs的结构组成对比及分析可知,降解和脱溴反应在整个热脱附反应过程中发挥了重要作用. 另外,XAD树脂吸附柱中虽有少量的氯代和溴代二英类物质(PCDD/Fs和PBDD/Fs)被检出,但其毒性当量浓度均小于0.1 ng/m3,符合欧盟、日本及我国所规定的二英物质排放标准. 研究显示,在利用优化的热脱附技术修复十溴联苯醚污染土壤过程中,PBDEs的去除率与污染土壤中其污染水平相关,并且热脱附过程以降解及逐级脱溴反应为主.      

Anaerobic digestion of agro-industrial waste enriched with bovine bone meal for improved biogas production and biofertilization

The increase in animal and agro-industrial production must be accompanied by the development of appropriate waste and by-product management strategies. Anaerobic digestion is a promising approach to recycle these wastes and reintegrate them into the economic production cycle of biogas and biofertilizer. In order to improve the performance of the anaerobic mesophilic digestion of abundant agro-industrial wastes constituted by potato peel (PP), and poultry waste (PW) and study the contribution of bovine bone meal (BB) as additive rich in phosphorus, which can help to neutralize the acidity of the substrate. The 10-point simplex-centroid design and the isoresponse surfaces strategy were used. This study demonstrated that in mesophilic bio-digestion, the using bovine bones in admixture with agroindustrial residue provided for the proper balance of chemical components required for proliferation of microbiological agent of bioconversion, which also resulted in an increase in biogas production capacity. The best formula was so composed by 66.67% bovine bone, 16.67% potatoes peel, and 16.67% poultry waste. The stability was achieved here after only 12 days. The digestate generated from it was fulfilled with the microbiological and chemical requirements for safety defined by the NF U44-551 standard. Germination test revealed that this optimal produced digestate, did not hinder growth, in fact, almost 85% of seed was germinated. Finally, fertilization experiments prove that this digestate can boost the growth of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum).     

活性炭对两种生物染料脱色效果的实验研究

以颗粒状活性炭为吸附载体,对两种单体生物染料进行脱色吸附实验研究。通过实验确定出最佳优化条件：活性炭用量80g/L,溶液pH值约为5、5,溶液最佳温度为35℃,搅拌速度为150rpm／min,此时染料脱色率可达98％以上;在几种条件实验过程中,将两种染料进行对比发现：红色染料脱色率一般都比绿色染料脱色率高,而且前者一般比后者反应较敏感。同时,从活性炭的表面结构方面探讨吸附脱色机理,为活性炭深度处理印染废水的研究可提供一定的科学依据。
