Study on the electrodeposition of uranium in chloride molten salt.

This study focuses on the recovery of UO from oxide spent fuel using electrodeposition. UO was used as the initial material and dissolved in NaCl-2CsCl using NHCl at high temperatures by means of chlorination reaction. The electrolysis process was conducted using a three-electrode system to investigate the effects of cathode material and diameter, electrolysis temperature, electrolysis time, electrolysis voltage, and uranium concentration in the molten salt on the electrolysis reaction.

Screening for neonatal inherited metabolic disorders by tandem mass spectrometry in Guangzhou.

To analyze the screening results for inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) in newborns by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in Guangzhou.A total of 272 117 newborns in Guangzhou from Jan 2015 to Dec 2020 were screened for IMD by MS/MS in Guangzhou Newborn Screening Center. When the primary screening was positive, the newborns and their mothers were recalled.

Same-sex twins have a high incidence of congenital hypothyroidism and a high probability to be missed at newborn screening.

Background: We estimated the incidence of CH in twins, analyse the clinical features of CH cases in twins and further evaluate the CH screening strategy and recall procedures for twins.

Methods: A retrospective investigation of the screening results and confirmed cases in 724,791 newborns was conducted from 2015 to 2017 in Guangzhou. Clinical features were compared between twins with CH and singletons with CH.

Identification of an inherited pathogenic DNAJC12 variant in a patient with hyperphenylalalinemia.

Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), an abnormal condition of phenylalanine metabolism, was recently reported to be caused by DNAJC12 mutations. As the heat shock co-chaperone, DNAJC12 prevents the aggregation of misfolded or aggregation-prone proteins and maintain the correct assembly and degradation. Here, we report a patient with unexplained HPA detected by newborn screening.
