TSS Removal Efficiency and Permeability Degradation of Sand Filters in Permeable Pavement.

Permeable pavement is a highly effective technology in Low-Impact Development (LID) for managing stormwater runoff, which helps mitigate environmental impacts. Filters are essential components of permeable pavement systems as they prevent permeability reduction, remove pollutants, and enhance the system's overall efficiency. This research paper focuses on exploring the influence of three factors, including total suspended solids (TSS) particle size, TSS concentration, and hydraulic gradient, on the permeability degradation and TSS removal efficiency of sand filters.

The relationship between transmission misinformation, COVID-19 stress and satisfaction with life among adults.

The perplexing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on the spiritual lives of Vietnamese people in general, and particularly adults. The objective of this study was to ascertain the link between adult satisfaction with life and COVID-19 stress in Vietnam and investigate if COVID-19 transmission disinformation modifies the effect of COVID-19 stress on adult satisfaction with life. A total of 435 Vietnamese adults were enrolled online to finish answering, including the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SL), the COVID-19 Stress Scale (CS), and the COVID-19 Transmission Misinformation Scale (CTMS), consisting of 350 females and 85 males.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Fabrication of MIL-100(Fe) Metal-Organic Frameworks as a Carrier for the Controlled Delivery of the Chloroquine Drug.

Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) are materials with an ordered crystalline structure and high porosity that have been intensively investigated for many applications, such as gas adsorption, catalysis, sensors, drug delivery, and so on. Among them, the MOF-based drug delivery system has received increasing interest from scientists worldwide. This work presented the preparation of the MIL-100(Fe) metal-organic framework from the organic ligand of trimesic acid and iron ions with ultrasonic assistance.

Fabrication of Porous Fe-Based Metal-Organic Complex for the Enhanced Delivery of 5-Fluorouracil in In Vitro Treatment of Cancer Cells.

Metal-organic complexes are one of the most studied materials in the last few decades, which are fabricated from organic ligands and metal ions to form robust frameworks with porous structures. In this work, iron-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic-polyethylene glycol (Fe-BDC-PEG) with a porous structure was successfully constructed by an iron(III) benzene dicarboxylate and polyethylene glycol diacid. The drug-delivery properties of the resultant Fe-BDC-PEG were tested for the loading and release of the 5-fluorouracil compound.

Infertility-related stress, social support, and coping of women experiencing infertility in Vietnam.

Background: Women with an infertility problem living in traditional and developing countries face extensive social pressure, infertility-related stress, and distress, which possibly affect their choices of coping strategies. The present study aims to investigate the impact of infertility-related stress and social support on coping of Vietnamese women who live with an infertility diagnosis.

Participants And Procedure: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 192 women diagnosed with infertility at two hospitals in the north and central regions of Vietnam.

Ultrasonic-Assisted Synthesis of Fe-BTC-PEG Metal-Organic Complex: An Effective and Safety Nanocarrier for Anticancer Drug Delivery.

The porous metal-organic complexes are emerging as novel carriers for effective and safe delivery of drugs for cancer treatment, minimizing the side effect of drug overuse during cancer treatment. This study fabricated the Fe-BTC-PEG metal-organic complex from Fe ions, trimesic acid, and poly(ethylene glycol) as precursors using an ultrasonic-assisted method. The morphology and crystallinity of the resultant complex were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively.

Cognitive and socio-emotional deficits in platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β gene knockout mice.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen. Extensive in vivo studies of PDGF and its receptor (PDGFR) genes have reported that PDGF plays an important role in embryogenesis and development of the central nervous system (CNS). Furthermore, PDGF and the β subunit of the PDGF receptor (PDGFR-β) have been reported to be associated with schizophrenia and autism.

Ameliorative effects of a neuroprotective agent, T-817MA, on place learning deficits induced by continuous infusion of amyloid-beta peptide (1-40) in rats.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive decline due to neuronal loss and neural network dysfunction. It has been postulated that progressive neuronal loss in AD is consequence of the neurotoxic properties of the amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta). In the present study, we investigated the effect of T-817MA (1-{3-[2-(1-benzothiophen-5-yl)ethoxy] propyl}-3-azetidinol maleate), a newly synthesized neurotrophic compound, on place learning deficits in rats with hippocampal damages.
