Treatment of domestic wastewater and production of commercial flowers in vertical and horizontal subsurface-flow constructed wetlands

Abstract

Pluronic triblock copolymers usually present complex phase behavior depending on the number of PEO and PPO blocks contained in the polymer. They have a great dependence to temperature and concentration, both considered as key factors in the pluronic phase behavior. The evaluation of physicochemical properties such as densimetry and sound velocity, as well as the determination of the size distribution profile of particles of P-104/water in solution allow obtaining a detailed temperature-concentration behavior of the system. In this work we present a study of P104/water behavior through density, ultrasound velocity and dynamic slight scattering (DLS) measurements in a wide range of temperatures. The critical micellar temperature (CMT) and the sphere-to-rod micelle transition temperature (GMT) were determinate as a function of concentration.

Armendariz-Borunda, J.",,"2004",,"Background & Aims: An extrahepatic human neutrophil collagenase complementary DNA (matrix metalloprotease-8) cloned In an adenovirus vector was used as a therapeutic agent in cirrhosis. Methods: A high titer of clinical-grade AdMMP8 was obtained. Results: HeLa cells transduced with AdMMP8 expressed recombinant matrix metalloprotease-8 messenger RNA and matrix metalloprotease-8 protein. Matrix metalloprotease-8 in culture sups showed enzymatic activity against native collagen type I, which was inhibited by ethylenedia-minetetraacetic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline, and tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-1. In vivo transduction showed matrix metalloprotease-8 activity, and studies to establish the efficacy of this characterized vector were performed in CCl4 and bile duct-ligated cirrhotic rats. Transduction with 3 1011 viral particles per kilogram resulted in hepatic detection of both messenger RNA and protein matrix metalloprotease-8. A consistent response in fibrosis reversal was observed in CCl4 rats. Liver fibrosis in bile duct-ligated cirrhotic animals was decreased in 45%, along with diminished hydroxyproline content, after AdMMP8 treatment. The expression of matrix metalloprotease-2 and matrix metalloprotease-3 was up-regulated in AdMMP8 rats. Free tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-1, as an indirect measurement of active uncomplexed matrix metalloproteases, was also increased in the AdMMP8 groups. Transforming growth factor-? messenger RNA was diminished, and matrix metalloprotease-9 and hepatocyte growth factor increased. Treatment in both models correlated with improvements in ascites, functional hepatic tests, and gastric varices, indicating diminished intrahepatic blood pressure in animals injected with AdMMP8. Conclusions: Therefore, therapy with the matrix metalloprotease-8 gene is promising for use in a clinical setting.",,,,,,"10.1053/j.gastro.2003.12.045",,,"http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12104/45468","http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-11144357753&partnerID=40&md5=7d3d4b7a83510997ea683dd95eeb85fe",,,,,,"4",,"Gastroenterology",,"1122

Diagnostic and medical-surgical procedures with opportunity and successful in true hermaphroditism, facilitate the prevention of gonadoblastoma, besides contributing to solving social problem for assignation of sex. In this paper we present two cases with true hermaphroditism that had cytogenetic analysis and search for sequences of chromosome Y. Both patients, had a karyotype 46,XX and showed positive polymorphic regions in chromosome Y. The molecular detection of the Y chromosome is a non-invasive and fast procedure that allows explore cell lines by cytogenetic analysis. We conclude that this procedure is useful as it streamlines the management of disorders of sexual differentiation to identify individuals with higher risk to gonad cancer.",,,,,,,,,"http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12104/45489","http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-65249154849&partnerID=40&md5=c3d5e3a33afbba21b9d38ad105572074",,,,,,"5",,"Revista médica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social",,"539

Belmont, M.A.",,"2009",,"In developing countries, the use of non-conventional plant species as emergent plants in constructed wetlands may add economic benefits besides treating wastewater. In this work, the use of four commercial-valuable ornamental species (Zantedeschia aethiopica, Strelitzia reginae, Anturium andreanum and Agapanthus africanus) was investigated in two types of subsurface wetlands for domestic wastewater treatment. Several water quality parameters were evaluated at the inlet and outlets of a pilot-scale system. Physical measurements were used to evaluate and compare the development of the ornamental plants under two patterns of flow in subsurface wetlands. The results for pollutant removal were significantly higher in the vertical subsurface-flow constructed wetlands (VFCW) for most pollutants. The average removals were more than 80% for BOD and COD; 50.6% for Org-N; 72.2% for NH4+, 50% for Total-P and 96.9% for TC. Only two pollutants were removed in statistically higher percentages in the horizontal subsurface-flow constructed wetlands (HFCW) (NO3-, 47.7% and TSS, 82%). The pollutant removal efficiencies were similar to the results obtained in many studies with conventional macrophytes. Most ornamental plants survived the 12-month period of experimentation and their development depended on the type of constructed wetland they were planted. Z. aethiopica looked healthier and produced around 60 flowers in the HFCW. The other three species developed better in the VFCW, although A. andreanum died during the winter. S. reginae produced healthier flowers (and more) and bigger leaves and A. Agapanthus produced more leaves and more lasting flowers. This suggests that it is possible to produce commercial flowers in constructed wetlands without reducing the efficiency of the treatment system. " 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
