MOG is an accessible target for autoantibodies, associated with immune-mediated demyelination in the central nervous system. The identification of MOG reactive immunoglobulin G antibodies (MOG-IgG) helps to distinguish a subgroup of patients from multiple sclerosis and other CNS disorders, reducing the risk of clinical misdiagnosis. The development of the cell-based assays (CBA) improved the detection of clinically meaningful MOG-IgG binding to conformational MOG expressed in the cell membrane surface. In this review, we describe factors that impact on the results of CBA, such as MOG conformation, protein glycosylation, addition of fluorescent tags, serum dilution, secondary antibodies, and data interpretation.This study investigates the dynamic effects of the shadow economy and environmental pollution on the energy stock prices in the case of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries via generalized methods of moments (GMM) and during the years from 2004 to 2014. Results suggest significant links between the volume of shadow economies, energy stock prices, and environmental pollution. Negative effects of carbon dioxide emissions on energy stock prices are found in this study. Furthermore, a U-shaped relationship is also found between the shadow economy and energy stock prices; that is the initial levels of the shadow economy the response of energy stock prices is negative; then, beyond a trough point, its response starts to be positive at the further stages of the level of shadow economies. Tenapanor nmr Despite energy consumption raises energy stock prices, environmental pollution mitigates the value of energy stock prices.With the development of industry, sustainable use of natural resources has become a worldwide hot topic. Heavy metal-containing sludge (HMS) is a hazardous waste after wastewater treatment. At present, HMS is still treated by landfill or landfill after incineration. Considering the components, HMS usually contains various heavy metals and organic compounds, which is potentially used as a raw resource for catalyst production. This review thus concludes recent reports and developments in this field. First, basic technologies are summarized as component regulation, precursor formation, and structure transformations. Second, prepared materials are applied in various catalytic fields, such as gas purification, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and Fenton catalysis. During these processes, key factors are multi-metallic components, metal doping, temperature, and pH. They not only influence the formation of HMS-derived catalyst but also the catalytic activity. Furthermore, catalytic activities of HMS-derived catalysts are compared with those synthesized by pure reagents. An assessment and accounting are also supplied if raw resources are substituted by HMS. Finally, in order to apply HMS in a real application, more works must be devoted to the influence of trace metal doping on catalytic activities and stabilities. Besides, more pilot experiments are urgently necessary.Monensin is an ionophore antibiotic used as a feed additive and growth promoter in cattle production worldwide. The occurrence of monensin in aquatic surficial ecosystems is of concern due to its possible detrimental effects on human health and native biota. Argentina is one of the most important cattle beef producers worldwide; however, there is little knowledge on the environmental occurrence of monensin and the associated risks to aquatic biota. In this study, we developed a method for the extraction and quantification of monensin in surface water; then, we evaluated the occurrence of monensin in a stream impacted by different animal husbandry's operations, and then, we analyzed the ecological implications of monensin residues on aquatic organisms using the risk quotient (RQ) method. Sampling was carried out on August 2017 from the headwaters to the floodplain of the El Pantanoso stream, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Monensin detection frequency was 75% (n = 20). The median level was 0.40 μg/L and the maximum concentration was 4.70 μg/L. The main input of monensin was from a cattle slaughterhouse, an activity that has not been considered before in the literature as a source of emission of veterinary pharmaceuticals into the environment. The RQ assessment showed that monensin levels could have potential negative effects on aquatic biota in the sampling site closest to the cattle slaughterhouse. The data obtained in this study shows that monensin was present in El Pantanoso surface waters at levels of high ecotoxicological risk to aquatic biota.Salt-leaching is considered to be a major method for soil desalting in agriculture. Therefore, conservation of soil nutrition is significant to soil fertility and environment protection during the salt-leaching process. The effect of poly-γ-glutamic acid bioproduct (PGAB), which was manufactured by solid-state fermentation with the bacteria producing glutamic acid (GA) and poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and organic waste, on keeping nitrogen (N) during salt-leaching was investigated in this study. The isolated bacteria producing GA and γ-PGA were identified as Brevibacterium flavum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, respectively. After the saline soil was leached for 90 days, compared to the control, soil salinity (0-30 cm) in the PGAB treatment was decreased by 39.9%, while soil total N was significantly (P  0.25 mm was increased by 293.5%, and the soil erosion-resistance coefficient was increased by 50.0%. In conclusion, the PGAB can effectively conserve soil N during the process of salt-leaching and therefore offer a sustainable way to improve coastal saline soil.It is important for China's green innovation productivity and sustainable development to study the effect of heterogeneous environmental regulation on microenterprise innovation activities. Based on the panel data of high-tech enterprises in China from 2012 to 2017, the article studies the incentive effect of heterogeneous environmental regulation on technological innovation and the mediation of innovation input and explores whether different types of environmental regulations have interactive effects on enterprise innovation. The results reveal that compared with the command-controlled environmental regulation, the incentive effect of market-incentive environmental regulation and voluntary environmental regulation on enterprise innovation is more significant, where the innovation input fully plays its role as a mediating effect. Further research finds that there is an interactive effect between command-controlled environmental regulation and other two regulatory tools, but no interactive effect between market-incentive environmental regulation and voluntary environmental regulation, which shows that the control-based regulatory tools and more flexible regulatory tools have a complementary effect on enterprise innovation.
