Efficient Adsorption and Degradation of Tetracycline Hydrochloride Using Metal-Organic Framework-Derived Cobalt-Based Catalysts and Mechanism Insight.

High-performance Co-based catalysts were derived by pyrolysis using synthesized MOFs as self-sacrificial templates. Various catalytic systems were constructed by peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TC). Adsorption-degradation efficiencies, cycle performance, dynamics, and the adsorption catalytic mechanism of various catalytic systems for TC were studied.

Arterial Adventitial Vasa Vasorum Hyperplasia involved in Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation in a Rabbit Model.

Objective: It was previously believed that atherosclerotic (AS) plaque starts to develop from the intima and that intraplaque vasa vasorum (VV) hyperplasia promotes adventitial VV (AVV) hyperplasia. However, recent studies have shown that arterial AVV hyperplasia precedes early intimal thickening, suggesting its possible role as an initiating factor of AS. To provide further insight into this process, in this study, we examine the evolution of AAV and VV development in a preclinical model of early AS with longitudinal ultrasound imaging.

Ozone degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride enhanced by magnetic nanofluid composed of FeO nanoparticles.

Magnetic FeO nanoparticles were added into the aqueous phase to form nanofluid systems, in which ozone was used for the oxidation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) in the solution. The nanomaterials were characterized using SEM, XRD, EDS, and FT-IR. The effects of nanoparticles size, addition ratio, and number of cycles on the process of ozone oxidation of TC were investigated.

Arterial Adventitial Vasa Vasorum Density Reflects The Progression Of Unstable Plaques: A Retrospective Clinical Study.

Objective: Arterial adventitial vasa vasorum (AVV) plays an important role in the occurrence and development of atherosclerotic (AS) disease. AS is a systemic disease, and plaque is not only a local vascular event, but also occurs at multiple sites throughout the vascular bed. Currently, effective anti-AVV therapies are lacking.

A transducer positioning method for transcranial focused ultrasound treatment of brain tumors.

Purpose: As a non-invasive method for brain diseases, transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) offers higher spatial precision and regulation depth. Due to the altered path and intensity of sonication penetrating the skull, the focus and intensity in the skull are difficult to determine, making the use of ultrasound therapy for cancer treatment experimental and not widely available. The deficiency can be effectively addressed by numerical simulation methods, which enable the optimization of sonication modulation parameters and the determination of precise transducer positioning.

Insight into the enhancement effect of amino functionalized carbon nanotubes on the HS removal performance of nanofluid system.

By constructing nanofluid system, trace functionalized nanoparticles can significantly enhance the absorption performance of basic liquid. In this work, amino functionalized carbon nanotubes (ACNTs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced into alkaline deep eutectic solvents to build nanofluid systems and used for the dynamic absorption of HS. The experiment results showed that the introduction of nanoparticles can significantly enhance the HS removal performance of original liquid.
