The utilization of phosphorus (P) in activated sludge discharged from wastewater treatment plants is an important part of the global phosphorus circulation. Thermal treatment of excess sludge would become a promising method for their disposal throughout the world. Herein, we investigated the transformation and migration of P in sewage sludge during different thermal treatment conditions. The results indicate that the temperature can significantly influence the species and content of P in the sewage sludge char or ash (SSC/A), while the atmosphere of thermal treatment has a slight effect on the fate of P. 31 P NMR and XRD analysis indicated that P migrated mainly to the medium-term plant available P pool (pool NaOH ) on treating the sewage sludge at a low temperature (673−873 K), while it was prone to migration to the long-term plant available P pool (pool HCl ) when treated at a high temperature (873−1073 K).
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant tumor of the immature myeloid hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow (BM). It is a highly heterogeneous disease, with rising morbidity and mortality in older patients. Although researches over the past decades have improved our understanding of AML, its pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are three noncoding RNA (ncRNA) molecules that regulate DNA transcription and translation. With the development of RNA-Seq technology, more and more ncRNAs that are closely related to AML leukemogenesis have been discovered. Numerous studies have found that these ncRNAs play an important role in leukemia cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Some may potentially be used as prognostic biomarkers. In this systematic review, we briefly described the characteristics and molecular functions of three groups of ncRNAs, including lncRNAs, miRNAs, and circRNAs, and discussed their relationships with AML in detail.
Measurements of NI-BUT obtained with the newly developed corneal topographer may provide a simple, noninvasive screening test for dry eyes with acceptable sensitivity, specificity, and repeatability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
