Application of synthesized metal-trimesic acid frameworks for the remediation of a multi-metal polluted soil and investigation of quinoa responses.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are structures with high surface area that can be used to remove heavy metals (HMs) efficiently from the environment. The effect of MOFs on HMs removal from contaminated soils has not been already investigated. Monometallic MOFs are easier to synthesize with high efficiency, and it is also important to compare their structures.

Evaluating phytoremediation potential and nutrients status of Bassia indica (Wight) A. J. Scott (Indian Bassia) in a cadmium-contaminated saline soil.

Bassia indica (Wight) A. J. Scott is a fast-growing halophyte suitable for the remediation of saline lands on a large scale.

Natural solution for the remediation of multi-metal contamination: application of natural amino acids, and to increase the phytoremediation efficiency.

Natural amino acids (NAA) have been rarely investigated as chelators, despite their ability to chelate heavy metals (HMs). In the present research, the effects of extracted natural amino acids, as a natural and environmentally friendly chelate agent and the inoculation of () and () bacteria were investigated on some responses of quinoa in a soil polluted with Pb, Ni, Cd, and Zn. Inoculation of PGPR bacteria enhanced plant growth and phytoremediation efficiency.

Efficient Immobilization of heavy metals using newly synthesized magnetic nanoparticles and some bacteria in a multi-metal contaminated soil.

Simultaneous application of modified FeO with biological treatments in remediating multi-metal polluted soils, has rarely been investigated. Thus, a pioneering approach towards sustainable environmental remediation strategies is crucial. In this study, we aimed to improve the efficiency of FeO as adsorbents for heavy metals (HMs) by applying protective coatings.

Neurophysiological treatment effects of mesdopetam, pimavanserin and clozapine in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease psychosis.

Psychosis in Parkinson's disease is a common phenomenon associated with poor outcomes. To clarify the pathophysiology of this condition and the mechanisms of antipsychotic treatments, we have here characterized the neurophysiological brain states induced by clozapine, pimavanserin, and the novel prospective antipsychotic mesdopetam in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease psychosis, based on chronic dopaminergic denervation by 6-OHDA lesions, levodopa priming, and the acute administration of an NMDA antagonist. Parallel recordings of local field potentials from eleven cortical and sub-cortical regions revealed shared neurophysiological treatment effects for the three compounds, despite their different pharmacological profiles, involving reversal of features associated with the psychotomimetic state, such as a reduction of aberrant high-frequency oscillations in prefrontal structures together with a decrease of abnormal synchronization between different brain regions.
