Enhanced Pb immobilization by CaO/MgO-modified soybean residue (okara) in phosphate mining wasteland soil: Mechanism and microbial community structure.

Lead (Pb) contamination is an inevitable consequence of phosphate mining, necessitating the development of effective remediation strategies. This study investigated the use of CaO/MgO-modified okara (CMS) as an eco-friendly approach to remediate Pb-contaminated soils from phosphate mining wastelands. In the present study, following 30 d of CMS application, the exchangeable Pb content was significantly decreased to 10.

Construction of flexible porous 3D biochar based on electrospun rice straw-derived cellulose acetate with excellent adsorption properties toward organic pollutants.

Cellulose was extracted from rice straw waste by the intergrated technique of CHOH/HO, dilute alkali treatment and HO bleaching process, and rice straw-derived cellulose acetate was obtained by the acetylation reaction of cellulose. Flexible porous 3D biochars were constructed by the electrospinning, NaBH foaming and calcination process. Effects of calcination temperature, adsorption time, pH, pollutant concentration, interfering anions, and cycle times on the adsorption performance of 3D biochar were systematically investigated.

Oxaliplatin-loaded amphiphilic hyaluronic acid nanohydrogel formed via interfacial reactions enhances the therapeutic effect of targeted tumor.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogels have attracted widespread attention, aiming to improve cancer treatment paradigms and overcome the limitations of free-form drugs. However highly hydrophilic nature of HA nanogels limits their potential application where amphiphilic interactions are required for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs. In this study, we developed amphiphilic structure oxaliplatin (OXA) loaded oligo-hyaluronic acid (oHA)-PEG-Octane nanogel using stable disulfide bonds with ultrasonic re-emulsion method.

The Role and Interactive Mechanism of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Ferroptosis in Musculoskeletal Disorders.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a cellular phenomenon that arises in response to the accumulation of misfolded proteins within the ER. This process triggers the activation of a signalling pathway known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), which aims to restore ER homeostasis by reducing protein synthesis, increasing protein degradation, and promoting proper protein folding. However, excessive ER stress can perturb regular cellular function and contribute to the development of diverse pathological conditions.
