Case report: Formation and recurrence of inflammatory pseudotumor after metal-on-metal hip arthroplasty.

The metal-on-metal (MoM) artificial hip joint is a prosthesis used in early hip arthroplasty, particularly for hip resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty. However, abrasion and corrosion of MoM bearings result in the production of metal ions, such as cobalt and chromium, thereby inducing several complications such as inflammatory pseudotumor, aseptic inflammation, and allergy to metal ions (delayed type IV hypersensitivity). In this case report, we present a patient who was hospitalized for recurrence of a mass in the right inguinal area.

Dementia and metabolic syndrome: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative condition, while metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by a combination of metabolic abnormalities such as hypertension, high blood sugar, and obesity. There exists a connection and overlap between the two conditions in certain aspects, and both are influenced to varying degrees by the process of aging. This study presents an overview of the current research landscape regarding dementia and MetS through bibliometric analysis.

Revealing the pharmacological effects of Remodelin against osteosarcoma based on network pharmacology, acRIP-seq and experimental validation.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant tumor of bone. Remodelin, an inhibitor of the N (4)-Acetylcytidine (ac4C) acetylation modifying enzyme N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), has been shown to have therapeutic effects on cancer in several studies, and our previous studies have confirmed the inhibitory effect of Remodelin on OS cells, however, the mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. We used network pharmacological analysis to quantify the therapeutic targets of Remodelin against OS.

LiCsBO(OH): A Deep-Ultraviolet Nonlinear-Optical Mixed-Alkaline Borate Constructed by Unusual Heptaborate Anions.

A new noncentrosymmetric mixed-alkaline borate, LiCsBO(OH) (1), was made under solvothermal conditions. This layered boron oxide framework consists of unique bird-shaped [BO(OH)] clusters with large 14-ring pores. Its second-harmonic-generation (SHG) signal is 2.

Rapid determination of gizzerosine in fish meals using microchip capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection.

Sensitive detection of gizzerosine, a causative agent for deadly gizzard erosion in chicken feeds, is very important to the poultry industry. In this work, a new method was developed based on microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection for rapid analysis of gizzerosine, a biogenic amine in fish meals. The MCE separation was performed on a glass microchip using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as dynamic coating modifier.

Magnetism-assisted modification of screen printed electrode with magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes for electrochemical determination of dopamine.

A simple and sensitive dopamine (DA) electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on magnetism-assisted modification of screen printed electrode (SPE) with magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mMWCNTs). The mMWCNTs modified electrodes (mMWCNTs/SPE) combines the advantages of SPE and the simultaneous contribution of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and MWCNTs, increasing sensitivity and selectivity of DA detection. The linearity was found between 5μM to 180μM, with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.

Quick and selective extraction of Z-ligustilide from Angelica sinensis using magnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes.

A facile and highly efficient magnetic solid-phase extraction method has been developed for Z-ligustilide, the major therapeutic agent in Angelica sinensis. The solid-phase adsorbent material used was prepared by conjugating carbon nanotubes with magnetic Fe3 O4 nanoparticles via a hydrothermal reaction. The magnetic material showed a high affinity toward Z-ligustilide due to the π-π stacking interaction between the carbon nanotubes and Z-ligustilide, allowing a quick and selective exaction of Z-ligustilide from complex sample matrices.

Preparation of ds-DNA functionalized magnetic nanobaits for screening of bioactive compounds from medicinal plant.

A novel magnetic nanocomposite (MNPs@DNA) was synthesized by bonding double strand DNA (ds-DNA) onto Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) directly. MNPs@DNA was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), which indicated that ds-DNA was immobilized onto MNPs. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis indicated that the MNPs@DNA had a high saturation magnetization of 42.
