Nanobubbles Adsorption and Its Role in Enhancing Fine Argentite Flotation.

The efficient recovery of fine argentite from polymetallic lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) sulfide ore is challenging. This study investigated nanobubble (NB) adsorption on the argentite surface and its role in enhancing fine argentite flotation using various analytical techniques, including contact angle measurements, adsorption capacity analysis, infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements, turbidity tests, microscopic imaging, scanning electron microscopy, and flotation experiments. Results indicated that the NBs exhibited long-term stability and were adsorbed onto the argentite surface, thereby enhancing surface hydrophobicity, reducing electrostatic repulsion between fine argentite particles, and promoting particle agglomeration.

The Role of Fe(III) in Selective Adsorption of Pullulan on Calcite Surfaces: Experimental Investigation and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

The floatability of fluorite and calcite exhibit similar properties, rendering their flotation separation challenging. Macromolecular polysaccharide reagents containing the polyhydroxyl group have shown broad promising application. The selectivity of polysaccharide is relatively low.

Pullulan Polysaccharide as an Eco-Friendly Depressant for Flotation Separation of Chalcopyrite and Molybdenite.

It is difficult to separate molybdenite and chalcopyrite by froth flotation due to the good floatability of the two minerals. In this paper, the separation of copper-molybdenum sulfide minerals was realized by using pullulan polysaccharide (PU) as the depressant. The flotation test results showed that the copper concentrate grade increased from 16.

The plastid genome of a tropical tree (Lauraceae).

Hook.f. is a valuable timber tree of the genus Nees in the family Lauraceae.

The plastid genome of a spice plants in Tibet (Lauraceae).

(Wall) Meissn is a commercially important timber tree and wild spice plants of the genus Trew in the family Lauraceae. To determine its phylogenetic location with respect to the other species, the complete plastid genome of was sequenced. The whole plastome is 152,715 bp in length, consisting of a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 20,114 bp, one large single copy (LSC) region of 93,617 bp, and one small single copy (SSC) region of 18,870 bp.

High pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels are associated with shorter overall survival in patients with small cell lung cancer.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between pretreatment plasma D-dimer levels and survival in Chinese patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 82 patients with SCLC treated at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2012 to January 2015. All patients were followed up.

Association between plasma fibrinogen and survival in patients with small-cell lung carcinoma.

Background: Elevated plasma fibrinogen (Fbg) levels contribute to tumor progression and metastasis; however, limited research on Fbg in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has been conducted. This study evaluated the prognostic value of Fbg levels in patients with SCLC.

Methods: Data on plasma Fbg level, clinical features, and overall survival were retrospectively collected.

NCOA1 is a novel susceptibility gene for multiple myeloma in the Chinese population: A case-control study.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable malignancy of mature B-lymphoid cells, and its pathogenesis is only partially understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that a number of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) associated genes also show susceptibility to MM, suggesting malignancies originating from B cells may share similar genetic susceptibility. Several recent large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified HLA-I, HLA-II, CXCR5, ETS1, LPP and NCOA1 genes as genetic risk factors associated with NHL, and this study aimed to investigate whether these genes polymorphisms confer susceptibility with MM in the Chinese Han population.

Construction of a multiple myeloma diagnostic model by magnetic bead-based MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of serum and pattern recognition software.

A diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) is difficult to make on the basis of any single laboratory test result. Accurate diagnosis of MM generally results from a number of costly and invasive laboratory tests and medical procedures. The aim of this work is to find a new, highly specific and sensitive method for MM diagnosis.

Promising diagnostic biomarkers for primary biliary cirrhosis identified with magnetic beads and MALDI-TOF-MS.

(PBC) is not a rare disease worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage, primarily because there are not yet any valid biomarkers available for early diagnosis. Useful biomarkers are absolutely necessary for early detection of PBC.
