<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The use of anaerobic membrane bioreactor technology (AnMBR) is rapidly expanding. However, depending on the application, AnMBR design and operation is not fully mature, and needs further research to optimize process efficiency and enhance applicability. This paper reviews state-of-the-art of AnMBR focusing on modelling and control aspects. Quantitative environmental and economic evaluation has demonstrated substantial advantages in application of AnMBR to domestic wastewater treatment, but detailed modelling is less mature. While anaerobic process modelling is generally mature, more work is needed on integrated models which include coupling between membrane performance (including fouling) and the biological process. This should include microbial factors, which are important to generation of specific foulants such as soluble and particulate inert organics. Mature and well-established control tools, including better feedback control strategies are also required for both the process, and for fouling control.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> AnMBR needs further research to optimize process efficiency. </LI> <LI> Modelling can provide insight into the factors playing a key role in AnMBR. </LI> <LI> Process models still face a long path to adaptation in practice. </LI> <LI> Better understanding of fouling mechanisms in AnMBRs is required. </LI> <LI> Control strategies can be further optimized from mechanistic knowledge of fouling. </LI> </UL> </P>

BackgroundCytoreductive surgery was developed as a treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, this surgery is associated with important complications. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between lactacidemia and the rate of associated complications during the immediate postoperative period in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study. A total of 57 patients underwent cytoreductive surgery. All patients were admitted to the ICU immediately after the surgery. Data on lactic acid levels at the time of admission and discharge from the ICU were collected. Postsurgical complications that occurred during the ICU stay were recorded according to failure-to-rescue analysis and their severity stratified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.ResultsThe lactic acid levels at admission to the ICU were significantly higher in patients who developed complications, with an almost tripled unadjusted relative risk (2.9, 95% CI: 1.6, 5.3), than in those who did not develop complications for the lactacidemia threshold established in the cumulative sum curve graphs. After adjustment for confounding effects, the relative risk became even higher (3.1, 95% CI: 1.8, 3.6). Lactic acid levels were still significantly higher in this group at the time of discharge from the ICU.ConclusionsSerum lactate level is a risk factor for postoperative complications in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis. This study suggests that the risk of developing severe complications almost triples with a lactic acid level of 2.5 mmol/L or higher at the time of admission in the ICU.

In Mexico about 4,000 plant species have some medicinal use. The aim of this work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of six Mexican medicinal plants against fungi and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Methanolic extracts were prepared from the Mexican medicinal plants Amphypteringium adstrigens, Castella tortuosa, Coutarea latiflora, Ibervillea sonorae, Jatropha cuneata, and Selaginella lepidophylla. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the plants were determined by the broth microdilution method and the radial growth inhibition assay, respectively. All Mexican plants tested showed antimicrobial activity. Among the six plant extracts analyzed, J. cuneata showed the highest growth-inhibitory activity against fungi, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (J. cuneata > A. adstrigens > C. latiflora > C. tortuosa > I. sonorae ≈ S. lepidophylla). Shigella flexneri and Staphylococcus aureus were the most susceptible bacteria to plant extracts. Complete inhibition of S. flexneri growth was observed with J. cuneata methanolic extract at 90μg/mL. This plant extract also showed the strongest antifungal activity against Fusarium verticillioides and Aspergillus niger. Our data suggest that the medicinal plants tested have important antimicrobial properties. This is the first report describing the antimicrobial activities of several of the Mexican medicinal plants used in this study.

J.A. Rodríguez-García,E. Rocha-Rangel,J. Torres-Torres,J. M. Almanza-Robles 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2011 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.12 No.3
The synthesis and formation of Sr4Al6O12SO4 in the system SrCO3-Al2O3-SrSO4 has been studied in the range of temperatures from 800 oC to 1400 oC using X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric, differential thermal and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Pellets of a mixture of 3 : 3 : 1 molar ratio of reactive grade Al2O3, SrCO3 and SrSO4 respectively were prepared, by solid state sintering, the reactive powders were thoroughly mixed under high energy ball-milling, uniaxially pressed into cylindrical samples and pressureless-sintered. Additionally the densities of some samples that were heat treated for 10 h at 1200, 1300 and 1400 oC were determined by the Archimedes method. The powder mixture was analyzed by TGA and DTA from room temperature to 1200 oC. XRD patterns indicated the formation of Sr3Al2O6 and SrAl2O4 as intermediate phases that nearly at the end of the process reacted with SrSO4 to form Sr4Al6O12SO4. The formation of Sr4Al6O12SO4 was complete at 1150 oC as XRD and DTA analysis indicated. An increase in the heat treatment time promotes the formation of Sr4Al6O12SO4at lower temperatures. The Sr4Al6O12SO4 powders were composed of spherical particles of small agglomerates. Results of density measurement indicated that only 80% of the theoretical density was reached for a treatment at 1400 oC of 10 h, which indicated the difficulty to obtain a dense material.

The Sr4Al6O12SO4 ceramic compound was synthesized by a solid state reaction starting from stoichiometric mixtures of 3 : 3 : 1 molar ratio of reactive grade of SrCO3, Al2O3 and SrSO4, respectively. Cylindrical samples were confirmed by uniaxial pressing at 100 MPa and were heat treated at 1400 oC during 4 hrs. Subsequently, the samples were ground and re-conformed in cylindrical shape samples by uniaxial pressing at 300 MPa. The new samples were heat treated at 1400 oC during 24 hrs. This process was done in order to increase density of the samples. The Sr4Al6O12SO4 ceramic compound was characterized by the study of its physical properties such as: density, micro-hardness, thermal expansion and stability, enthalpy of formation, magnetic properties and electrical conductivity. Experimental results show that the maximum density obtained for the Sr4Al6O12SO4 ceramic compound was 2.913 grcm−3, with thermal expansion coefficient of 10.12E−06(oC−1); it also presents an enthalpy of 2.3 KJmol-1 and an excellent thermal stability at elevated temperatures in different atmospheres. In addition, the Sr4Al6O12SO4 ceramic compound is neither electrically conductive nor magnetic.

Foundations are a vital part of structures. Over time, the foundations can deteriorate due to unforeseen overloads and/or settlements, resulting in the appearance of cracks in the concrete. These cracks produce changes in the static and dynamic behavior of the affected foundation, which alter its load carrying capacity. In this work, non-destructive techniques of relative simplicity of application are presented for the detection, location, and quantification of damage, using numerical models, solved with the finite element method and Power Series. For this, two types of parameters are used: static (displacement and elastic curvature) and dynamics (natural frequencies). In the static analysis, the damage detection is done by means of a finite elements model representing a beam supported on an elastic foundation with a discrete crack that varies in length and location. With regard to dynamic analysis, the governing equations of the model are presented and a method based on Power Series is used to obtain the solution for a data set, which could be the Winkler coefficient, the location of the crack or the frequency. In order to validate the proposed methodologies, these techniques are applied to data obtained from laboratory tests.
Transperineal rectocele repair is ideal for patients presenting with fecal incontinence
De Robles Marie Shella,Young Christopher J. 대한대장항문학회 2022 Annals of Coloproctolgy Vol.38 No.5
Purpose: Rectocele can be associated with both obstructed defecation and fecal incontinence. There exists a great variety of operative techniques to treat patients with rectocele. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome in a consecutive series of patients who underwent transperineal repair of rectocele when presenting with fecal incontinence as the predominant symptom. Methods: Twenty-three consecutive patients from April 2000 to July 2015 with symptomatic rectocele underwent transperineal repair by a single surgeon. Results: All patients had a history of vaginal delivery, with or without evidence of associated anal sphincter injury at the time. The median age of the cohort was 53 years (range, 21–90 years). None were fully continent preoperatively. However, continence improved to just rare mucus soiling or loss of flatus in all patients 6 months after their surgery. There was no operative mortality. Postoperative complications including urinary retention and wound dehiscence occurred in 3 patients. Conclusion: Fecal incontinence associated with rectocele is multifactorial and may be caused by preexisting anal sphincteric damage and attenuation. Our experience suggests that transperineal repair provides excellent anatomic and physiologic results with minimal morbidity in selected patients presenting with combined rectocele and anal sphincter defect.

Background: Currently there are a growing number of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) imposing a signifi cant public health burden due to disability and premature death. Diabetes is the most common cause of death in Mexico. It is estimated that 11.7 million Mexicans will have diabetes by the year 2025. The risk of developing T2D is determined by genetic and environmental factors. However, large differences in prevalence between ethnic groups exist and seem to depend on genetic factors. Nearly 40 different T2D susceptibility loci, mainly in Europeans have been identifi ed. The aim of this study was to identify susceptibility loci related to T2D in our population. Methods: We studied 128 SNPs in or near 42 genes, most of which had been replicated in other populations. A case-control association study comprising 186 controls, 211 early-onset T2D (diagnosed before 45 years of age) and 173 late-onset T2D individuals was conducted. Actually we preliminary reported the genotypifi cation analyses of 256 individuals. Results: Subjects with T2D independently of age at diagnosis have higher mass body index than controls (27.5 vs 25.7 kg/m2, P= <0.0001). The median age for early-onset T2D, late-onset T2D and controls individuals were 46, 61 and 62 years, respectively. Age at diagnosis for early-onset and late-onset T2D individuals was 35 and 52 years, respectively. The allelic variants of genes KCNJ11 (rs5219), LEPR (rs11208654), IGF2BP2 (rs4402960), VLDLR (rs2242103), KCNQ1 (rs2237892), RPTOR (rs12946115), SLC25A18 (rs1296819) show association with T2D in this preliminary analysis. These polymorphism previously mentioned affect directly or indirectly over insulin release and peripheral sensitivity. Conclusions: We found our population to have an important genetic predisposition to T2D. The associated susceptibility loci for T2D support the hypothesis that insulin release defects and peripheral resistance are the main mechanisms predisposing to T2D in Mexican population.
