Article Synopsis
  • Oxidation and removal of toxic sulfides and amines are crucial for environmental and human safety, yet they present significant challenges.
  • Researchers incorporated a photosensitizer, 4,4'-(benzo[][1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-diyl)dibenzoic (HL), into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve charge separation in photocatalytic reactions.
  • The study found that the metal centers in the MOFs enhance photocatalytic activity, making these structures effective, stable, and reusable heterogeneous catalysts for breaking down hazardous compounds under visible light.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study introduces a method to stabilize these dyes within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), resulting in a new series of photocatalysts known as dye@UiO-66s, which improves their photocatalytic efficiency.
  • * Specifically, the FL@Bim-UiO-66 composite shows remarkable performance in synthesizing new compounds, achieving a yield of up to 98% at room temperature while maintaining stability and reusability.

Effective and rapid capture of heavy metal oxo-anions from wastewater is a fascinating research topic, but it remains a great challenge. Herein, benzimidazole and -CH groups were integrated into UiO-66 in succession via a step-by-step linker modification strategy that was performed by presynthesis modification (to give Bim-UiO-66) and subsequently by postsynthetic ionization (to give Bim-UiO-66-Me). The UiO-66s (UiO-66, Bim-UiO-66, and Bim-UiO-66-Me) were applied in the removal of heavy metal oxo-anions from water.

Ionizing radiation-induced intestinal injury is a catastrophic complication in patients receiving radiotherapy. Circulating exosomes from patients undergoing radiotherapy can mediate communication between cells and facilitate a variety of pathological processes in vivo, but its effects on ionizing radiation-induced intestinal damage are undetermined. In this study we investigated the roles of exosomes during total body irradiation (TBI)-induced intestinal injury in vivo and in vitro.

To investigate the effect of taurine(Tau) on ICAM-1, VCAM-1 by p-p38 pathway in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells(PAECs) and explore its mechanism of action. Generation 4-12 cells in primary cultures of PAECs were used in experiments and divided into five groups: control group, hypoxia(hyp) group, inhibitor(SB203580) group, treatment(Tau) group, and treatment+inhibitor(SB+Tau) group. The concentration of Tau:100 mmol•L⁻¹; p38 inhibitor SB203580: 20 μmol•L⁻¹; and the treatment time was 12 h.

Background: The objectives of this study were to investigated changes in OHRQoL among patients with different classifications of malocclusion during comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Methods: Clinical data were collected from 81 patients (aged 15 to 24) who had undergone comprehensive orthodontic treatment. Participants were classified 3 groups: Class I (n = 35), II (n = 32) and III (n = 14) by Angle classification.

Objective: To compare the effects of pamidronate and ibandronate on orthodontic root resorption.

Methods: Seventy-two 6-week-old female specific pathogen free (SPF) Wistar rats were selected to establish models for orthodontic tooth movement. The rats were randomly divided into three groups: the control group (C group), pamidronate group (Pm group) and ibandronate group (Ib group).
