A 3D neural network-shaped nitrogen-doped graphene-coated MnO composite (N@Gr-MnO) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal method. The nitrogen content in graphene is effectively regulated by changing the amount of urea added. Upon achieving a graphene oxide (GO) to urea mass proportion of 1/200, the resultant N@Gr exhibited maximal nitrogen concentration.

This work presents a design approach for optically transparent low-loss frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) based on the simultaneous optimization of a conductive layer, dielectric layer, and fabrication process. Three bandpass FSSs working in millimeter-wave bands with low insertion losses are investigated and fabricated based on low-loss Rogers RT5870 and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrates. The measured results of the RT5870 based FSS (case 1) and COC based FSS (case 2) indicate that the COC substrate possesses lower dielectric loss tangent at the K band.

Article Synopsis
  • A modified loess/chitosan composite (ML@CS) was developed and characterized using various techniques to study its potential as an adsorbent for methyl orange (MO) in wastewater treatment.
  • Systematic experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of factors like initial concentration, pH, dosage, and temperature on MO adsorption, showing ML@CS effectively removes up to 99.75% of MO under optimal conditions.
  • The adsorption process was found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm, indicating that chemical adsorption is the main mechanism, and ML@CS retains significant effectiveness even after multiple regeneration cycles.

The thermochemical reaction between coking wastewater and gasification-coke is a new way to achieve efficient and clean use of coal and solve the problem of coking wastewater treatment in the Gansu Longdong region. To further investigate the thermochemical reaction characteristics of coking wastewater and gasification-coke, this paper explores the effect of coking wastewater on syngas production from coke gasification at 1000 °C, the degradation effect of organic pollutants in coking wastewater, the thermochemical reactivity of gasification-coke, and the reasons why wastewater promotes coke gasification and wastewater degradation. The results showed that the thermochemical reaction of coking wastewater with gasification-coke not only facilitates the improvement of syngas yield and low-level calorific value but also improves the thermochemical reactivity of gasification-coke.

NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a highly aggressive malignant tumour with a very poor prognosis, which often poses diagnostic difficulties due to the non-specificity of its clinical presentation. NK/T-cell lymphoma with eosinophilic hyperplasia syndrome is extremely rare. This article describes a patient with NKTCL misdiagnosed as vasculitis who presented with sinusitis, abdominal pain, anorexia, and lung shadows.

Recent advancements in ultra-sensitive detection, particularly the Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE) materials, have demonstrated a promising detection method due to their low cost, real-time detection, and simplicity of operation. Here, coumarin functionalized pillar[5]arene (P5C) and bis-bromohexyl pillar[5]arene (DP5) were successfully combined to create a linear AIE supramolecular pseudorotaxane polymer (PCDP-G). The use of PCDP-G as a supramolecular AIE polymer material for recyclable ultra-sensitive Fe and F detection is an interesting application of the materials.

It is a great challenge to design and prepare polymeric membranes with excellent permeability and good rejection. In this study, a modifier of gold nanoparticles for crosslinking and self-assembly by 1,6-hexanedithiol is fabricated and used to modify the polyethersulfone membrane as an additive, which forms a uniform porous membrane by liquid-liquid phase conversion technology. The morphology of the membrane is investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the change of the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface after modification is measured by the contact angle goniometer, and the performance of the fabricated membrane is measured by evaluating the pure water flux and the rejection ratio of bovine serum albumin.

An efficient method for simultaneous extraction, purification and determination of six lignans in Schisandra chinensis Baill was developed by employing matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction followed by HPLC-UV determination analysis. Several sorbent and desorption solvent that affected the extraction yield of lignans were investigated; neutral alumina and absolute ethanol were selected as the best dispersing material and desorption agent, respectively. Other extraction conditions for MSPD were optimized as follows: 1:2 of S.

The ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) parameters of total water-soluble polysaccharides (TABPs) from Acanthopanaxbrachypus fruit were optimized by Box-Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM). Physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of TABPs were investigated by chemical analysis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water-holding capacity (WHC), oil-holding capacity (OHC), emulsion capacity (EC), emulsion stability (ES), as well as DPPH and ABTS scavenging assays. The results showed that the maximal UAE-yield of TABPs was 3.

A water-soluble polysaccharide (ALP) from Acanthopanax leucorrhizus was chemically modified to obtain two sulfated derivatives (S-ALP1 and S-ALP2), two phosphorylated derivatives (P-ALP1 and P-ALP2) and two acetylated derivatives (A-ALP1 and A-ALP2) with different degree of substitution (DS). Their structures were characterized by chemical and spectral (IR, C NMR and P NMR) analysis, and in vitro antioxidant activity were evaluated by reducing power assay, DPPH• and HO• scavenging assay. The results obtained showed that the modifications were successful, although the molecular weight (Mw) of the ALP derivatives decreased due to slight degradation during the reaction.

Unlabelled: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) leads to tumour progression, including tumour metastasis, disease recurrence and therapy resistance. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small group of cells that have the ability to undergo self-renewal and heterogeneous differentiation, which play a key role in the occurrence and development of cancer. EMT can promote tumour cells to develop stem cell characteristics, which makes tumours more difficult to treat.

Trefoil factor family (TFF), composed of TFF1, TFF2, and TFF3, is a cluster of secreted peptides characterized by trefoil domain (s) and C-terminal dimerization domain. TFF1, a gastric tumor suppressor, is a single trefoil peptide originally detected in breast cancer cell lines but expressed mainly in the stomach; TFF2, a candidate of gastric cancer suppressor with two trefoil domains, is abundant in the stomach and duodenal Brunner's glands; and TFF3 is another single trefoil peptide expressed throughout the intestine which can promote the development of gastric carcinoma. According to multiple studies, TFFs play a regulatory function in the mammals' digestive system, namely in mucosal protection and epithelial cell reconstruction, tumor suppression or promotion, signal transduction and the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis.
