Visible Light Induced Photocatalytic Degradation of Diclofenac in Aqueous Solution Using Fabricated ZnO/g-CN by Facile Calcination Technique.

The ability of the heterojunction between two distinct semiconductors with appropriately matched band gaps to improve the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs has been demonstrated to enhance photocatalytic activity. Hence, ZnO/g-CN composites have been fabricated by the facile deposition and calcination of ZnO and g-CN. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirm the formation of the composite.

Purification of aqueous orange II solution through adsorption and visible-light-induced photodegradation using ZnO-modified g-CN composites.

Semiconductor-based remediation enables environmentally friendly methods of removing aqueous pollutants. Simply fabricated ZnO modified g-CN composites were utilized as bifunctional adsorptive photocatalysts for orange II removal from aqueous solution through adsorption and photocatalysis processes. The adsorption isotherm data of the g-CN (g-CN) and ZnO modified g-CN (ZCN) composites on orange II solution were better fitted with the Langmuir isotherm compared to the Freundlich isotherm.

Lipoprotein glomerulopathy with markedly increased arterial stiffness successfully treated with a combination of fenofibrate and losartan: a case report.

Background: Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-related glomerular disease and has been associated with type III hyperlipidemia. Without appropriate treatment, chronic kidney disease (CKD) caused by LPG progresses, and approximately half of the patients develop end-stage kidney disease within 1-27 years of disease onset. However, few studies have highlighted the clinical course of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in patients with LPG.

Determination of low concentrations of glucose through colorimetric analysis using CoFeO magnetic catalyst and SAT-3.

Natural enzyme mimics have attracted attention as alternatives to natural peroxidases. Among these, magnetic nanoparticles, especially ferrites, have attracted attention because of their unique electronic and physical structures, which are expected to be applied in various fields, including high-frequency magnetic materials, biomaterials, gas sensors, and semiconductor photocatalysts. The structural properties of the synthesized catalysts were investigated using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.

CD40 is expressed in the subsets of endothelial cells undergoing partial endothelial-mesenchymal transition in tumor microenvironment.

Tumor progression and metastasis are regulated by endothelial cells undergoing endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), a cellular differentiation process in which endothelial cells lose their properties and differentiate into mesenchymal cells. The cells undergoing EndoMT differentiate through a spectrum of intermediate phases, suggesting that some cells remain in a partial EndoMT state and exhibit an endothelial/mesenchymal phenotype. However, detailed analysis of partial EndoMT has been hampered by the lack of specific markers.
