Background: Optimal lumbar puncture segment selection remains controversial. This study aims to analyze anatomical differences among L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 segments across age groups and provide quantitative evidence for optimized selection.
Methods: 80 cases of CT images were collected with patients aged 10-80 years old.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined Pennisetum giganteum (PG) as a lignocellulosic feedstock for pretreatment using acidic and basic deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to produce monomeric sugars.
- Basic DESs like ChCl/MEA effectively removed 79.8% of lignin while retaining 89.5% cellulose, leading to significantly higher glucose (95.6%) and xylose (88.0%) yields compared to untreated PG.
- The research also showed improved structural properties of PG after pretreatment, such as increased porosity and reduced crystallinity, and demonstrated that the DESs were highly recyclable, recovering 90% after five cycles while still achieving high lignin removal and sugar
