Interfacial adsorption behavior of amine-functionalized MCM-41 for Mo(VI) capture from aqueous solution.

Given the environmental and ecological risks posed by wastewater bearing Mo, the characteristics and microscopic interactions of existing silica-based adsorbents have not been thoroughly investigated, highlighting the need to enhance the porosity and chemical interactions of these materials. Considering the effectiveness of amino groups in binding metal oxyanions, this study investigates the adsorption performance and mechanism of amino-functionalized MCM-41 for Mo(VI), with the goal of efficiently remediating Mo-contaminated wastewater. MCM-41 modified by amino group retains its original structure and mesoporous characteristics while featuring a positively charged surface and chemically bonded amino groups.

Treated wastewater disturb the distributions of microplastics in their receiving watersheds.

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, threatening the security of aquatic organisms. Identifying the emission node and hot spot of MPs holds significant importance in the pollution control of MPs. Wastewater is widely recognized as sink and source of MPs, while the direct evidence is insufficient.

Multi-Centered Pre-Treatment CT-Based Radiomics Features to Predict Locoregional Recurrence of Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer After Definitive Chemoradiotherapy.

: We constructed a prediction model to predict a 2-year locoregional recurrence based on the clinical features and radiomic features extracted from the machine learning method using computed tomography (CT) before definite chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) in locally advanced esophageal cancer. : A total of 264 patients (156 in Beijing, 87 in Tianjin, and 21 in Jiangsu) were included in this study. All those locally advanced esophageal cancer patients received definite radiotherapy and were randomly divided into five subgroups with a similar number and divided into training groups and validation groups by five cross-validations.

The Association Between the Dietary Inflammatory Index, Dietary Pattern, and Hypertension Among Residents in the Xinjiang Region.

: Diet and inflammation are both associated with hypertension. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the dietary inflammation index (DII), dietary patterns, and the risk of hypertension among Xinjiang residents. : A total of 930 residents aged 20-80 from Shihezi and Tumushuk were selected as participants using a stratified whole cluster random sampling method.
