Tailoring Morphology of MgO with Mg-MOF for the Enhanced Adsorption of Congo Red.

The active site is a highly anticipated property of adsorbent in the field of separation, as it enables a concurrent enhancement of both adsorption efficiency and adsorption rate. Herein, employing morphology-oriented regulation, we successfully fabricated heterogeneous MgO adsorbent from a magnesium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor, octahedral MgO-M and laminated sheets MgO-P, for the capture of Congo red (CR). Specifically, the octahedron MgO-M exhibits a greater abundant of moderately and strongly alkaline sites, which facilitate the adsorption of CR.

Genetic Variants of the 9 Gene Are Associated with Nonspecific Intellectual Disability: A Family-Based Association Study.

Mutations within the myotubularin-related protein 9 gene (9) have been identified in several families with nonsyndromic intellectual disability (NSID), a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder; however, the relationship between 9 and NSID needs to be verified using a larger sample size. To explore whether genetic variants in the 9 gene are linked to susceptibility of NSID among the Chinese population. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the 9 gene (rs4559208, rs3824211, rs2164272, rs2164273, rs1897951, rs6991606, and rs7815802) were analyzed using family-based association testing among 258 Han Chinese NSID families.

MicroRNA-365 inhibits growth, invasion and metastasis of malignant melanoma by targeting NRP1 expression.

Objective: The role of miR-365 in cancer cells seemed controversial in previous studies. We thereby in this article aimed to define the role of miR-365 in malignant melanoma (MM) pathogenesis.

Methods: We detected miR-365 expression in malignant melanoma cell lines and then investigated the effects of miR-365 on the metastasis and malignancy of melanoma cells.

[Study of residue preservatives thiabendazole, o-phenylphenol and diphenyl in fruits and vegetables by SPE-separation technology].

The residue of thiabendazole, o-phenylphenol and diphenyl in vegetables and fruits was detected by solid-phase extraction and ultraviolet-spectrophotometry. Samples were extracted under basic conditions with petroleum ether: ethyl acetate (2:1). The analytes were first enriched, purified and separated through a C18 solid-phase extraction column.
