Notes

Reduced turnaround periods by way of multi-sectoral group collaboration throughout the 1st rush of SARS-CoV-2 and linked influence on patient care and also medical center procedures.
Discriminant validity was supported by low correlations between the C-BNSS total score and the PANSS positive subscale, Calgary Depression Scale, and Simpson-Angus Scale for extrapyramidal symptoms. The C-BNSS showed a five- factor structure on Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), confirming findings of previous studies. Findings indicate that the C-BNSS demonstrates excellent psychometric properties, which are comparable to the original English version. It is a promising instrument for use in clinical trials as well as in clinical practice.The paper examines 1037 publications on bipolar disorder (BD) during the years 2000-19 from India, as listed in the Scopus database. India's publications constituted 2.27 % share of global output (45,624 publications) in the study period of 20 years. India does not figure in the top 10 countries in terms of research output on BD. The number of publications on BD from India increased from 13 in 2000 to 107 in 2019, registering 14.44 % annual average growth, higher than world's growth of 6.02 %. India's 10-year cumulative publications increased from 264 during 2000-09 to 773 during 2010-19, registering 192.8 % absolute growth, much higher than world cumulative growth of 63.27 %. India's publications on BD averaged citation impact per paper of 14.24, which decreased from 25.38 to 10.43 from 2000-09 to 2010-19. Maximum numbers of papers from India on BD were published by researchers from National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore (222 papers),Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh(118 papers), and AII India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (79 papers). Lady Harding Medical College, New Delhi (36.20 and 2.54), Schizophrenia Research Foundation, Chennai (27.45 and 1.93), and King George's Medical University, Lucknow (25.21 and 1.77) were the most significant organizations in terms of citation per paper and relative citation index. Maximum number of papers were published in Indian Journal of Psychiatry (101 papers), followed by Asian Journal of Psychiatry (88 papers) and Indian Journal of Psychology Medicine (34 papers).A novel PAE-hydrolyzing esterase (named Hyd) gene was screened from the genomic library of Rhodococcus sp. 2G and was successfully expressed in heterologous E. coli, which was defined as a new family of esterolytic enzymes. The purified Hyd could efficiently degrade various PAEs, displaying high activity and stability with a broad range of pH (4-10) and temperature (20-60 °C). Interaction mechanism of Hyd with dibutyl phthalate (DBP) was investigated by integrated multi-spectroscopic and docking simulation methods. Fluorescence and UV-vis spectra revealed that DBP could quench the fluorescence of Hyd through a static quenching mechanism. The results from synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra confirmed that the DBP binding to Hyd triggered conformational and micro-environmental changes of Hyd, which were characterized by increased stretching extent and random coil, and decreased α-helix and β-sheet. Molecular docking study showed that DBP could be bound to the cavity of Hyd with hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction. A novel and distinctive catalytic mechanism was proposed two key residues Thr190 and Ser191 might catalyze the hydrolysis of DBP, instead of the conserved catalytic triad (Ser-His-Asp) reported elsewhere, which was confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis.In this work, g-C3N4-x/BiOCl/WO2.92 heterojunction with "N-O" vacancies was prepared using NaBiO3 and WCl6 as raw materials and non-metal plasma of WO2.92 grew in-situ on the surface of BiOCl, resulting in the enhanced photocatalytic NO deep oxidation. XPS tests and DFT calculation indicated the formation of internal electric fields from g-C3N4-x to BiOCl, BiOCl to WO2.92, which induced the transition from Ⅱ-Ⅱ-type to double Z-scheme hetero-structure. High separation efficiency, prolong lifetime and strong redox ability of photo-generated electron-hole pairs were simultaneously achieved due to the charge capture effect of defects and double Z-scheme mechanism. Iadademstat Histone Demethylase inhibitor Therefore, g-C3N4-x/BiOCl/WO2.92 exhibited the significantly increased NO removal rates from 21.17% (BiOCl/WO2.92) and 36.52% (g-C3N4-x) to 68.70% and the main oxidation product of NO was NO3-. This study revealed that the carrier dynamics of heterojunction photocatalysts could be optimized by the synergistic effect of defects and internal electric fields to achieve photocatalytic NO deep oxidization.This study was to investigate the occurrence, migration and health risk of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in tap water, barreled water and bottled water in Tianjin, China. Six priority controlled PAEs were measured, among which the detection frequency of butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) was 100%, while the others were not detected. The concentration of DEHP was higher than BBP and DBP in all the samples. The initial ∑3PAEs concentrations in tap water, barreled water and bottled water were 2.409 ± 0.391 μg/L, 1.495 ± 0.213 μg/L and 1.963 ± 0.160 μg/L, respectively. Boiling tap water could reduce the PAEs content to an extent, but they increased significantly in hot tap water contacting with disposable plastic cups. The migration of PAEs in barreled water and bottled water were positively correlated with storage time and temperature, which could be described by exponential models. The hazard indexes of PAEs in different types of drinking water were very low. However, the human carcinogenic risks of DEHP will reach the maximum acceptable risk level of 10-6 when bottled water is stored for 8.8 days at 40 °C, 7.7 days at 50 °C, or 6.1 days at 60 °C.Persulfate-based chemical oxidation of petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) in soils usually varies drastically with soil sites. Complex effects of soil components on persulfate oxidation of TPHs remains poorly understood, impeding the understanding of persulfate oxidation in practical systems. Here we provided empirical evidence for the interrelated effects of natural soils components and target TPHs on persulfate oxidation of TPHs. Inputs of TPHs led to notable alterations of organic matter, minerals and pH of soils, which in turn influenced distributions and availability of TPHs in soils. These soil/TPH properties and oxidant dose constituted five interrelated terms that were used to develop a predictive model of persulfate oxidation of TPHs. Such interrelation accounted for ilmenite-base coupling activation of persulfate oxidation, Fe/Mn mineral activation of persulfate oxidation, chemical oxidant demand of soils, mass transfer-reactivity limiting of TPHs, and applicable parameters of persulfate oxidation, respectively.
