While technological advancements in treating electroplating wastewater continue, removing high concentrations of Ni and Co remains a challenge. Surface functionalization of clay has emerged as a pivotal approach for effectively removing heavy metals, rivaling intercalation modification in its effectiveness. This study investigated the adsorption performance and mechanisms of a phosphonate-modified layered double hydroxide material, employing batch experiments and simulation calculations to elucidate the impact of surface modification on adsorption behavior.

Aim Of The Study: To systematically evaluate the herbal placebo response in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of herbal medicine on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Materials And Methods: We searched for RCTs with herbal placebo groups for IBS in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the Wan Fang database and Sinomed database from 31 January 1994 to November 2023, and the quality of the literature was evaluated by the Cochrane risk of bias assessment criteria. The primary outcome indicators were response rate, abdominal pain and stool improvement rate, which were analyzed by single-group rate meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • This study develops a new type of bimetallic organic framework (Zr/Fe-UiO-66) using a simple solvothermal method to effectively remove fluoride ions from water.
  • The experiments identified optimal conditions for fluoride adsorption, achieving a maximum uptake capacity of 164.4 mg/g at pH 5.0, temperature of 298 K, and initial concentration of 190 mg/L.
  • The study also reveals that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic, driven by mechanisms including chemical bonding and electrostatic interactions, while demonstrating excellent stability and selectivity over multiple cycles.

The successful application of fluorescence immunoassays for clinical diagnosis requires stable photoluminescent materials and highly efficient signal amplification strategies. In this work, the magnetism-functionalized lanthanide MOF-on-MOF (FeO@SiO@MOF-on-MOF) was synthesized through intermolecular (van der Waals) interaction-assisted growth and further homogeneous epitaxial growth, which significantly improved the fluorescence performances and uncovered the underlying mechanism. The quantum chemical theory calculation and experimental studies revealed that the introduced magnetic FeO@SiO not only endowed magnetic separation capability but also promoted fluorescence performances, which increased the energy transfer of the intersystem crossing process and suppressed the luminescence of ligands and aggregation-induced quenching.

Being able to cause eutrophication, a severe ecological problem that leads to the demise of aquatic animals, excessive phosphate in water bodies, has been a threat to the environment. Aiming to remove phosphate from wastewater in rural areas, adsorption is a promising method. In this study, a novel phosphate adsorbent, SEP-La, was synthesized by doping lanthanum into sepiolite.

Background: Prospective and cross-sectional studies have reported an association between functional gastrointestinal disorders and anxiety and depression. However, the causal relationship remains uncertain. To clarify this, we utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the causal effects of common gastrointestinal disorders on cortical structures.

Developing an eco-friendly and effective approach for preparing N, S co-doped hierarchical porous carbons (NSHPC) for capacitive deionization (CDI) is a huge task for desalination. Herein, NSHPC with interconnected hierarchical pore structures, manufactured via self-activation/co-activation of sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) encapsulation using KNO-KHCO activators, inducing N, S co-doping. Different from NSHPC and NSHPC, NSHPC exhibits the highest specific surface area (S, 2264.

Unlabelled: Lactose intolerance (LI) is a prevalent condition characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms that arise following lactose consumption. Recent evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may influence lactose levels in the gut. However, there is limited understanding regarding the alterations in microbiota and metabolism between individuals with LI and non-LI.

Background: Life events are important risk factors for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Physical activity is a beneficial behavior to physiological and psychological health. While it has not been reported at present the combined effect of physical activity and life events on individual depression and PTSD, and whether it can alleviate the psychological risks induced by life events.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of a combined treatment using Kangbainian lotion (KBN) and miconazole nitrate (MN) against antifungal resistance in biofilms.
  • Various methods, including advanced analysis techniques, assays, and microscopy, were employed to evaluate the treatment's impact on biofilm viability and structure.
  • The results suggest that KBN and MN may work synergistically to disrupt biofilm structure and alter gene expression related to biofilm formation, indicating potential for improved antifungal strategies.

Article Synopsis
  • Modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction (MGQD) effectively relieved ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice by improving symptoms like weight loss and intestinal damage.
  • The study used various methods, including gut microbiota analysis and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), to investigate how MGQD works in alleviating UC.
  • Results suggested that MGQD's anti-colitis effects are linked to changes in gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism, as well as restoring the function of colonic goblet cells, though other factors may also play a role.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study evaluated a commercial AI-powered X-ray bone age analyzer's effectiveness compared to the Tanner-Whitehouse 3 (TW-3) method, finding that the AI system is both accurate and efficient in assessing bone age in children and adolescents.
  • - It used radiographs from 900 patients across 30 centers in China, with six doctors independently assessing the images alongside the AI, which performed better on average than one of the raters and matched performance with others in terms of accuracy.
  • - The AI analyzer achieved an impressive mean absolute error (MAE) of around 0.48 years for bone age estimates, suggesting it could enhance clinical workflow by significantly reducing the time required for evaluations.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to systematically compile and evaluate existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effectiveness of acupuncture for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  • Two independent reviewers will search for relevant studies in eight databases, assessing the methodological, reporting, and evidence quality using established tools like AMSTAR-2 and PRISMA checklists.
  • The findings will help identify discrepancies between clinical evidence and practice, highlight areas needing methodological improvement, and guide future high-quality research on acupuncture's role in GERD treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a recurring inflammatory bowel disease that is hard to treat, and a new type of cell death called disulfidptosis may play a role in its progression.
  • The study aimed to explore how disulfidptosis affects UC and whether Modified Gegen Qinlian decoction (MGQD) can help by targeting this process.
  • The results highlighted two key proteins, MYH10 and FLNA, as important indicators of UC; treatment with MGQD lowered their levels and improved symptoms in mice with colitis, indicating possible therapeutic pathways.

Background: Frailty correlates with adverse outcomes in many cardiovascular diseases and is prevalent in individuals with heart failure (HF). The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) offers an integrated, validated solution for frailty assessment in acute care settings, but its application in critically ill patients with congestive HF lacks exploration. This study aimed to identify the association between frailty assessed by the HFRS and in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients with congestive HF.
