Photocatalytic Degradation and Toxicity Analysis of Sulfamethoxazole using TiO/BC.

Sulfonamide antibiotics in the environment not only disrupt the ecological balance but can also enter the human or animal body in various forms and cause harm. Therefore, exploring efficient methods to degrade sulfonamide antibiotics is crucial. In this study, we prepared biochar (BC) using corn straw, and TiO/BC was obtained by doping different proportions of TiO into biochar with varying carbonization temperatures using the sol-gel method.

Efficacy of nano-modified Runji ointment in the treatment of mild and moderate psoriasis with blood dryness syndrome: a study protocol for a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a common, recurrent, immune skin disease, which seriously affects patients' quality of life. In clinical practice, modified Runji ointment can effectively treat mild-to-moderate psoriasis with blood dryness syndrome, but there is a lack of high-quality evidence-based medical evidence. This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nano-modified Runji ointment in the treatment of mild-to-moderate psoriasis with blood dryness syndrome.

Study on the Change of Dielectric Properties and Chemical-Mechanism during Coal Low-Temperature Oxidation.

The study aims to investigate the variation of the coal dielectric properties during coal low-temperature oxidation and the effect of oxidation product on the coal dielectric properties. Four different types of coal were prepared under low-temperature oxidation condition, and the coal dielectric properties were measured with an impedance analyzer at frequencies ranging between 20 Hz and 30 MHz. The oxygen-containing functional groups in oxidized coal samples were semi-quantitatively evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Efficacy of Modified Qufeng Runmian Powder () on Acne Vulgaris with Syndromes of Dampness and Blood Stasis: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a Chinese medicine (CM) Modified Qufeng Runmian Powder (, MQFRMP) for the treatment of acne vulgaris with CM syndromes of dampness and blood stasis.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 220 acne vulgaris patients with CM syndrome of dampness and blood stasis were included and randomly assigned using a central area group random design to receive either MQFRMP or the placebo, with 110 cases in each group. MQFRMP or a placebo at 145 g/bag were administered once daily for 4 weeks, respectively.

Whether Fire-needle Therapy Benefits Plaque Psoriasis: A Multicenter, Randomized, and Controlled Trial.

Objective: To observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of fire-needle therapy, an external approach of Chinese medicine in treating plaque psoriasis.

Methods: This study was a two-parallel-arm randomized controlled trial. A total of 151 participants with plaque psoriasis were randomly assigned to the fire-needle therapy group (treatment group, 76 cases) or the control group (75 cases) at a 1:1 allocation ratio using SAS software.

Literature research of Chinese medicine recipes for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris with blood-heat syndrome type.

Objective: To analyze and investigate the rules for drug utilization of Chinese medicine for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris with blood-heat syndrome.

Methods: The literatures that met the following inclusion criteria were screened out from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from January 1998 to December 2008, including the compositions and dosages of the recipes reported completely and accurately, the sample size being [Symbol: see text] 30 cases and the total effective rate being [Symbol: see text] 70%.

Results: In total, 289 papers meeting the inclusion criteria were retrieved, involving 301 recipes; in which 111 recipes consisting of 145 individual drugs were the function for clearing the heat, accounting for 52.
