| 1 | Potential of Constructed Wetland for Wastewater Treatment in Rural Areas in Kosovo显示文摘Republic of Kosovo has 1,304 settlements from which only 37 are urban and 1,267 are rural. Shown in percentage, only 39.2% (765,125) of inhabitants live in urban areas. The focus is to work and find the best and cheap solutions for the 60.8% (1,173,370) of inhabitants of the country which live in rural areas. From this number only 42% of them have access to the sewage network while 60.8% of them have implemented individual solutions (latrines) without any treatment, leading to a large pollution of the water bodies. The existing rural sewage networks are built only with septic tanks, poorly designed and do not fulfill the wastewater treatment criteria. Regarding this issue, the Kosovan legislation concerns only urban areas (settlements of more than 2,000 inhabitants) and is expected to be completed in 2014 for rural areas according to the EU (European Union) directive for wastewater discharge. As a pilot project, the CDI (community development initiatives) started with WWTP (waste water treatment plants) based on the Vertical Constructed Wetland option (french model) as it appears to be the most adapted option in this rolling, rural, and temperate climate context, implementing this kind of treatment in 3 villages for the first time in Kosovo. Through this, it is interesting to take a perspective on all the phases of these projects starting from feasibility reports, project design to concept and modalities of implementation and options for operation and maintenance, in order to assess how this technical option is feasible and replicable in the country at a large scale. It finally appears that the potential for constructed wetland in the Balkan region is promising as it provides a simple solution for most of the regional constraints, but requires skills to be developed locally for designing and building as well as a deeper consideration in the national regulation. | Lavdim Osmanaj Agon Haxhikadrija Pierre-Henri Dodane Astrit Vokshi | 2015 | Journal of Hydraulic Engineering2015,1,1: | 1 |

| 6 | Gut-liver axis improves with meloxicam treatment after cirrhotic liver resection显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of meloxicam on the gut-liver axis after cirrhotic liver resection.METHODS:Forty-four male Wistar rats were assigned to three groups:(1)control group(CG);(2)bile duct ligation with meloxicam treatment(BDL+M);and(3)bile duct ligation without meloxicam treatment(BDL).Secondary biliary liver cirrhosis was induced via ligatureof the bile duct in the BDL+M and BDL groups.After 2wk,the animals underwent a 50%hepatectomy.In the BDL+M group 15 min prior to the hepatectomy,one single dose of meloxicam was administered.Parameters measured included:microcirculation of the liver and small bowel;portal venous flow(PVF);gastrointestinal(GI)transit;alanine aminotransferase(ALT);malondialdehyde;interleukin 6(IL-6),transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1)and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha(HIF-1α)levels;mRNA expression of cyclooxigenase-2(COX-2),IL-6 and TGF-β1;liver and small bowel histology;immunohistochemical evaluation of hepatocyte and enterocyte proliferation with Ki-67 and COX-2 liver expression.RESULTS:Proliferative activity of hepatocytes after liver resection,liver flow and PVF were significantly higher in CG vs BDL+M and CG vs BDL group(P<0.05),whereas one single dose of meloxicam ameliorated liver flow and proliferative activity of hepatocytes in BDL+M vs BDL group.COX-2 liver expression at 24h observation time(OT),IL-6 concentration and mRNA IL-6 expression in the liver especially at 3 h OT,were significantly higher in BDL group when compared with the BDL+M and CG groups(P<0.01,P<0.001,P<0.01,respectively).Liver and small bowel histology,according to a semi quantitative scoring system,showed better integrity in BDL+M and CG as compared to BDL group.ALT release and HIF-1αlevels at 1 h OT were significantly higher in BDL+M compared to CG and BDL group(P<0.001 and P<0.01,respectively).Moreover,ALT release levels at 3 and 24 h OT were significantly higher in BDL group compared to CG,P<0.01.GI transit,enterocyte proliferative activity and number of goblet cells were in favor of meloxicam treatment vs BDL group(P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.01,respectively).Additionally,villus length were higher in BDL+M as compared to BDL group.CONCLUSION:One single dose of meloxicam admin-istered after cirrhotic liver resection was able to cause better function and integrity of the remaining liver and small bowel. | Astrit R Hamza Avdyl S Krasniqi Pramod Kadaba Srinivasan Mamdouh Afify Christian Bleilevens Uwe Klinge René H Tolba | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,40: | 0 |
