Internal circulation（IC） denitrification reactor was designed on the basis of IC anaerobic reactor，and the engineering application was investigated for the reverse osmosis concentrated water treatment. The results showed that the IC denitrification reactor exhibited a rapid start and stable running. The effluent TN ranged from 1.89 mg/L to 14.0 mg/L with an average of 4.65 mg/L when the influent TN were from 18.7 mg/L to 39.0 mg/L with an average of 26.6 mg/L，which was lower than the required 15 mg/L by Standard B of Table1 in Comprehensive Wastewater Discharge Standards for the Yellow River Basin in Shanxi Province （DB 61/224-2018）. The effluent suspended solids mass concentration was lower with an average mass concentration of 18.6 mg/L，and the effluent COD of the subsequent recirculation biofilter was 35.4 mg/L，stably controlled below 50 mg/L，which showed a perfect comprehensive treatment effect. Moreover，the IC denitrification reactor had a small footprint，simple process，and a direct water treatment cost of 1.36 yuan/m3，which had significant economic benefits.

ObjectiveIn this study, an animal model of granulomatous lobular mastitis was constructed using human granulomatous lobular mastitis specimen homogenates and a suspension of complete Freund's adjuvant.MethodsTwenty-five rats with a history of maternity were randomly divided into five groups with five rats each: a blank control group, Freund's adjuvant group, normal mammary homogenate group, low-dose lesion homogenate group, and high-dose lesion homogenate group. In the lesion homogenization groups, rats were injected with complete Freund's adjuvant homogenate prepared from granulomatous mastitis patient tissues, and the third and fourth pair of mammary gland injections were administered to the rats at 0.2 mL in the high-dose group and 0.1 mL in the low-dose group. The normal mammary gland homogenate group was injected with normal mammary gland tissue homogenate from patients with granulomatous mastitis. The blank control group was injected with saline. The Freund's adjuvant group was injected with complete Freund's adjuvant. The histomorphological and pathophysiological characteristics of the mammary tissues were observed for 14 days after the completion of modeling, and the effects of the granulomatous lobular mastitis model were compared.ResultsThe morphological changes and physiopathological characteristics of granulomatous lobular mastitis in the high- and low-dose groups were significantly different when compared with the blank control, Freund's adjuvant, and normal breast homogenate groups (P < 0.001).ConclusionHuman granulomatous lobular mastitis specimen homogenates and suspensions of complete Freund's adjuvant for granulomatous lobular mastitis can successfully establish an animal model of the disease and lead to insights and new ideas for the etiology of the disease.

The authors argue that China has moved beyond the Open Door Period of university reform to a new era described as the Global Ambition Period. In this new era of university reform, the nation's policy makers focus a good deal of their attention on developing world-class universities. Evidence is drawn from national initiatives implemented by the Ministry of Education, in the form of Projects 211 and 985, as well as from case studies of three leading research universities. Findings from Peking University are used to highlight the significance of academic personnel reform as a key step in fostering a more competitive environment for promoting faculty productivity. The case of Tsinghua University is used to focus attention on the growing importance of university-industry relations as part of establishing the economic development potential of leading research universities. Finally, the case of Renmin University is used to highlight the growing importance of internationalization. Together, these three case studies highlight the ambitious character of China's 21st century vision for its leading research universities.
