The current study aimed to use the biological treatment (Phycoremediation) for sewage water, where the green alga Chlorella vulgaris was used in the treatment process and to improve water quality by removing some of the pollutants contained in the water, the most important of which are hydrocarbon pollutants, and to note the changes in the biochemical properties of the algae, such as the SOD enzyme and CAT enzyme and total chlorophyll before and after the treatment process. The treatment process took place between wastewater and green algae when the latter reached a stable stage to ensure its high treatment capacity and the best possible life span. Where the measurements were made for the characteristics of the treated water in addition to the biochemical measurements of the algae on the 4th and 8th day of the biological treatment. A study of the growth curve of C. vulgaris showed that the growth phase started on day 6, reached stability on day 12, then reached the death phase on day 19, and continued to decline until the death of the alga. The results of the study showed the value of what was contained in the wastewater before the treatment process, as it was as follows: total hydrocarbons (5.38 mg/l), as for the biochemical properties of algae before exposure to wastewater, they were as follows: superoxide dismutase enzyme (1.2197 U/mg), catalase enzyme (0.6023 U/mg), total chlorophyll (6.1503 mg/g). After the wastewater treatment process was completed, the high ability of green algae to remove hydrocarbon pollutants from the water was shown, at a rate of 72.3–64.5%, respectively. The results of the study showed the effect of sewage water on some physiological characteristics of algae, as it showed an increase in the activity of SOD after 4 days of treatment to reach 1.33 U/mg, while the activity decreased on the 8th day to reach 1.289 U/mg, as for the CAT enzyme It appeared in the same way as the previous enzyme, as its effectiveness increased after 4 days of treatment to reach 0.6916 U/mg, and decreased on the last day to reach 0.5476 U/mg, while with regard to the value of chlorophyll, the value of chlorophyll a decreased to reach 1.9473 mg/g in the last day, while on the contrary, the value of chlorophyll b increased to reach 4.5369 mg/g in the last day, while for total chlorophyll its value increased to reach 6.4842 mg/g in the last day.

Oznaczono aktywność wybranych enzymów antyoksydacyjnych: dysmutazy ponadtlenkowej (SOD), katalazy (CAT) i peroksydazy glutationowej (GPx) w erytrocytach oraz stężenie substancji reagujacych z kwasem tiobarbiturowym (TBARS) w osoczu i w erytrocytach osób poddanych działaniu hiperbarii tlenowej (HBO) z powodu wystąpienia nagłego niedosłuchu nerwowo-czuciowego (SSNHL). Krew żylną do badań pobrano bezpośrednio przez zabiegiem HBO oraz ok. 5 min po wyjściu z komory hiperbarycznej. W grupie badanej wyodrębniono 2 podgrupy różniące się wiekiem: grupę I stanowiły osoby poniżej 35 roku życia, grupę II powyżej 50 lat. Uzyskane wyniki poddano analizie statystycznej z wykorzystaniem testu T-Studenta. Za istotne statystycznie uznano różnice przy poziomie istotności p<0,05. Wykazano 5 min po wyjściu z komory hiperbarycznej istotne statystycznie obniżenie się aktywności CAT u wszystkich osób analizowanych łącznie (p<0,01) oraz w I grupie (p<0,05). Zaobserwowano ponadto znamienne statystycznie zmniejszenie się stężenia TBARS w erytrocytach w II grupie chorych (p<0,05). Wykazano, że jednorazowa ekspozycja hiperbaryczna wpływa na równowagę oksydacyjno-antyoksydacyjną o czym świadczy m.in. istotne statystycznie obniżenie się aktywności katalazy w erytrocytach. Możliwe, że odpowiedź antyoksydacyjna na działanie HBO zależy do wieku osób badanych.

The activity of selected antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocytes, and the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in blood plasma and erythrocytes, were determined in people subjected to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy due to sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Venous blood samples were taken immediately before entering the hyperbaric chamber and 5 min after leaving it. In the study group, two age subgroups were distinguished: group I consisting of subjects under 35 and group II consisting of subjects over 50. The obtained values were analysed statistically using Student’s t-test. Differences were considered as statistically significant at p < 0.05. A statistically significant decrease in the CAT activity was shown 5 min after leaving the hyperbaric chamber in pooled subjects (p < 0.01) and group I (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a statistically significant decrease in the erythrocyte TBARS concentration was observed in group II (p < 0.05). It was demonstrated that a single exposure to hyperbaric oxygen affects the oxidant–antioxidant equilibrium as evidenced by, e.g., a statistically significant decrease in the activity of catalase in erythrocytes. It is possible that the antioxidant response to HBO depends on the age of subjects.
