However, the effective dose remains controversial. OBJECTIVE： To evaluate the protective effects of low-concentration α-tocopherol on neuronal membranes. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： Contrast observation and in vitro study, performed at Laboratory of Neurosurgery, Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between April and September 2006. MATERIALS： Fetal cortical neurons were derived from two 14-day pregnant SD rats, and α-tocopherol was provided by Sigma, USA. METHODS： The neurons were randomly assigned to six groups： （1） normal： neurons were cultured under normal conditions; （2） oxidative damage： oxidative free radicals was damaged using the Fenton reaction; （3） α-tocopherol： neurons were cultured in different concentrations of -tocopherol 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/L for 2 hours, respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Neuronal membrane damage was observed using a confocal laser microscope, and malonaldehyde production was detected using the thiobarbituric acid method. RESULTS： At normal, biological concentrations （10 mg/L）, α-tocopherol induced no change in the damaged neurons （P 〉 0.05）. However, at a concentration of 80 mg/L, the number of damaged neurons was significantly reduced, compared with the damage group （P 〈 0.05）. Malonaldehyde levels following 80 mg/L α-tocopherol treatment were less than the oxygen free radical damage group （P 〈 0.05）, but greater than the control group （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： A concentration of 80 mg/L α-tocopherol can effectively protect the neuronal cell membrane from oxidative damage展开更多

The concentration of methanol as its characteristic component is mostly lower than 3%. Its production and water quality change seasonally. It is mainly produced in late autumn,winter,and early spring when temperature is low. In the low-concentration methanol-containing wastewater,the content of organic matter,suspended solids and salts and COD value are high,and it is acidic. According to the physical and chemical properties of methanol such as easily dissolving in water,dissolving in most organic solvents,and having strong molecular polarity,laboratory experiments were made to study the difficulties of using high-temperature rectification,biodegradation,membrane filtration and organic oxidation technology to treat low-concentration methanol in the wastewater as well as the feasibility of industrial application. Ultraviolet catalytic oxidation technology has the advantages of high treatment efficiency,no secondary pollution,and no addition of treatment agent. After the low-concentration methanol-containing wastewater was treated by ultraviolet catalytic oxidation for 90 min,methanol concentration in the wastewater reduced from about 3% to around 0. 1%,thereby rapidly and efficiently degrading methanol in the wastewater. Based on the experimental parameters,a pilot device of ultraviolet catalytic oxidation was developed and used in the continuous treatment of the wastewater. When the flow rate of inflow was 500 L/h,the intensity of UV light was 2 k W,and hydraulic retention time was 60 min,methanol could be removed completely from the wastewater with the methanol concentration of about 0. 3%. This study provides a method for the treatment of low-concentration methanol-containing wastewater of a gas field,and also provides an experimental basis for the efficient degradation of organic wastewater.展开更多

[ Method] A fixed biological bed was used to treat low-concentration organic waste gas from a phosphate workshop, and then the waste gas treated was assessed by human sense of smell to determine the most economical empty bed contact time, thereby verifying the feasibility of using a fixed biolog- ical bed to treat low-concentration organic waste gas. [Result] When empty bed contact time was 60 s, the smell of the treated waste gas was acceptable, and COD value of recycled water in the fixed biological bed was essentially unchanged. It proved that organic load of the waste gas was consumed by microorganisms within 60 s. [ Conclusion] It is feasible to use a fixed biological bed to treat Iow-concantration organic waste gas from a phosphate workshop.展开更多
