Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is associated with stroke history in a reverse J-shape.

Background: 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], the major form of vitamin D in the body, has a non-linear association with stroke risk. However, the association is not fully understood. The specific shape of the association and the ideal value of 25(OH)D related to minimum risk of stroke remain unclear.

Advances on simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification using activated carbon irradiated by microwaves.

This paper describes the research background and chemistry of desulfurization and denitrification technology using microwave irradiation. Microwave-induced catalysis combined with activated carbon adsorption and reduction can reduce nitric oxide to nitrogen and sulfur dioxide to sulfur from flue gas effectively. This paper also highlights the main drawbacks of this technology and discusses future development trends.

[Experimental research for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NOx by aqueous oxidation of O3].

The removal of SO2 and NOx by aqueous oxidation of O3 was studied by self-designed bubbling reactor. The results show that NO can be oxidized efficiently by O3 in liquid phase, while the existence of SO2 has a negative impact on the removal of NO and pH value has a little impact. The NO removal efficiency is 89.

[Experiment study on the aqueous removal of SO2 by Mn2+ catalytic ozonation].

The removal of SO2 by Mn2+ catalytic aqueous ozonation was investigated by experiment, so as to find the effects of Mn2+ for aqueous removal of SO2 by ozonation. The concentration curve of ozone was drawn by standard iodine method. The operating factors included mole ratio of ozone to sulfur dioxide and concentration of Mn2+.
