In this study, we evaluate the efficiency of photochemical systems UV / H2O2, UV / O3, and UV / H2O2 / O3 for the decontamination of hospital wastewater using advanced oxidation processes involving homogeneous photolysis (POAF). The systems were examined by observing changes in the absorption spectra of UV-Vis over time during radiation exposure. Data fitting was performed using a logistic model to assess the treatment efficacy. From the logistic model, two key parameters were defined: the maximum degradation percentage of wastewater (k) and the decontamination speed (r), both of which facilitated the evaluation of treatment efficiency. Results indicated that the UV / H2O2 / O3 system achieved a higher percentage of decontaminated water and decontamination speed compared to the UV / H2O2 and UV / O3 systems.

Background. Most researches related to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Xiaoyaosan decoction focused on antidepressant. However, the role of this decoction improving anxiety-like behaviors hasn’t been known well. Objective. To evaluate the effects of TCM formula Xiaoyaosan decoction on anxiety-like behaviors and whether JNK signal pathway was involved. Methods. Rats were divided into 5 groups (n=8): control group (deionized water, p.o.), model group (deionized water, p.o.), SP600125 group (surgery), Per se group(surgery), Xiaoyaosan group (3.854g/Kg/d, p.o.). 1% DMSO citrate buffer solution (2μl/ventricle/d) and SP600125 (10μg/ventricle, 2μl/ventricle/d) were separately bilaterally intracerebroventricular injected in two surgery groups. Except for control group, the other four groups were given 14 days Chronic Immobilization Stress (CIS, 3h/d). On day 15, all rats were tested body weight and subjected to elevated plus maze (EPM) and novelty suppressed feeding (NSF) tests. At last, JNK signal pathway indexes, including P-JNK, JNK, P-c-Jun and Cyt-C, were examined. Results. After modeling, body weight and behavioral analyses of model rats indicated this modeling method induced anxiety-like behaviors. P-JNK, JNK, P-c-Jun were also found changes in hippocampus of model rats by western blotting and qRT-PCR methods. After 14 days treatment of Xiaoyaosan and SP600125, body weight, behaviors and P-JNK, JNK, P-c-Jun were modified. But there was no significant difference in Cyt-C. Conclusion. Xiaoyaosan can improve anxiety-like behaviors induced by chronic immobilization stress, which might be related with JNK signal pathway in hippocampus. These finding not only help to understand the actions of the Xiaoyaosan, which may result to the inhibiting JNK signal pathway in hippocampus, but also provide new evidence for the clinic use of the Xiaoyaosan for the treatment of anxiety.

Occupational and art therapy play a pivotal role in the comprehensive rehabilitation of children with neurological impairments. This study examines the effects of a complex rehabilitation program on children aged 5 to 7 years with cerebral injuries, focusing on improving motor coordination, self-sufficiency, and engagement in daily activities. The program incorporates art and game therapy to enhance psycho-emotional and motor development, which are crucial for the children's recovery. Results indicate significant improvements in muscle tone, active movement, and participation in specialized classes. The study underscores the importance of individualized programs that engage parents and adapt to the evolving needs of each child, fostering skill mastery and autonomy. This approach not only supports physical rehabilitation but also promotes social integration and emotional well-being.
