The mechanism of ferroptosis and its related diseases.

Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cellular death characterized by the iron-mediated accumulation of lipid peroxides, provides a novel avenue for delving into the intersection of cellular metabolism, oxidative stress, and disease pathology. We have witnessed a mounting fascination with ferroptosis, attributed to its pivotal roles across diverse physiological and pathological conditions including developmental processes, metabolic dynamics, oncogenic pathways, neurodegenerative cascades, and traumatic tissue injuries. By unraveling the intricate underpinnings of the molecular machinery, pivotal contributors, intricate signaling conduits, and regulatory networks governing ferroptosis, researchers aim to bridge the gap between the intricacies of this unique mode of cellular death and its multifaceted implications for health and disease.

Molecular investigation on changing behaviors of natural organic matter by coagulation with non-targeting screen using high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Natural organic matter (NOM) can tremendously influence the purification efficiency of the drinking water treatment process. Coagulation was the first and primary process of NOM removal in the drinking water treatment process. The interaction between coagulants and NOM molecules remains unclear.

Cu(I)-doped FeO nanoparticles/porous C composite for enhanced HO oxidation of carbamazepine.

Cu(I) doped nano-FeO were synthesized and loaded on ordered porous carbon materials using a facile co-precipitated. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, HRTEM, FESEM-EDX mapping and N adsorption-desorption. The results showed that the crystal unit cell of FeO was enlarged due to the implantation of small amount of Cu(I) into the FeO structure (FeCuO).

Efficient purification of Al by organic complexation method.

A method was developed for preparing high purity AlO(OH)(HO) (Al) through elimination of impurities by complexation. Polyaluminum chloride II (PAC) with Al content of 75% was adopted as the source of Al. The PAC was prepared under conditions of total aluminum concentration 0.
