Traditional soil phosphorus (P) sorption capacity is examined from a Langmuir isotherm batch technique, which is time-consuming, labour intensive and generates chemical waste. In this work, we provide an efficient and convenient technique with MIR spectroscopy to predict the Langmuir parameter of soil P sorption maximum capacity (Smax, mg·kg). Four spectral libraries from benchtop (Bruker) and handheld (Agilent) MIR spectrometers were built with samples in two particle size ranges, <0.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared clinical outcomes of two devices, Zero-P and ROI-C, used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD) involving 56 patients from 2020.
  • Outcomes measured included pain levels, functional improvement, neck disability, surgery time, and complications like dysphagia.
  • The findings revealed no significant differences in most outcomes between the two groups, though the ROI-C had a shorter surgery time for certain segments and a lower Cobb angle at follow-up compared to Zero-P.

Advanced solid electrolytes with strong adhesion to other components are the key for the successes of solid-state batteries. Unfortunately, traditional solid electrolytes have to work under high compression to maintain the contact inside owing to their poor adhesion. Here, a concept of high-entropy tape electrolyte (HETE) is proposed to simultaneously achieve tape-like adhesion, liquid-like ion conduction, and separator-like mechanical properties.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modulates RNA metabolism and functions in cell differentiation, tissue development, and immune response. After acute burns, skin wounds are highly susceptible to infection and poor healing. However, our understanding of the effect of burn injuries on m6A methylation and their potential mechanism is still limited.

Objective: Edelson classification is a 3D classification of proximal humeral fractures, but there is a scarcity of application of this classification in large samples, and the accuracy of classification was also not testified. The objective of this research was to verify whether a revised Edelson classification produces satisfactory agreement for proximal humeral fracture classification in adult patients.

Methods: A total of 827 proximal humeral fractures (304 male and 520 female patients, 58.

Plant-originated triterpenes are important insecticidal molecules. The research on insecticidal activity of molecules from Meliaceae plants has always received attention due to the molecules from this family showing a variety of insecticidal activities with diverse mechanisms of action. In this paper, we discuss 102 triterpenoid molecules with insecticidal activity of plants of eight genera (, , , , , , , and ) in Meliaceae.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of partial patellectomy (PP) in patients with patella comminuted distal pole fractures.

Methods: Seventeen patients who were diagnosed with patella comminuted distal pole fractures and underwent PP procedures were retrospectively included between January 1995 and January 2005. We collected patient demographics and data on the mechanism of injury, time to surgery, fracture type, follow-up time, and post-operative complications (infection, patellofemoral arthritis, and stiffness).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate and compare the outcomes of proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (KOA), focusing on those with and without upper fibular curvature.
  • - A total of 51 patients were analyzed over an average follow-up period of about 34 months, with metrics like Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores used to assess clinical results, along with radiographic measurements.
  • - Results showed no significant demographic differences between the curvature and non-curvature groups, and both groups exhibited similar VAS scores during the follow-up periods, indicating comparable effectiveness of the PFO procedure for both types of patients.

Objective: To evaluate and analyze the potential relationship between periosteal reaction and medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (KOA), and to assess the independent risk factors for the development of periosteal reaction associated with medial compartment KOA.

Methods: This is a retrospective comparative study. From January 2019 to December 2019 at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, a total of 363 patients (726 knees) with medial compartment KOA were enrolled in this study according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 91 males and 272 females, with an mean age of 57.

Background: Lateral tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) are often treated with conventional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through standard anterolateral sub-meniscal arthrotomy. There has been increasing support for "bidirectional rapid redactor" device-assisted closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) for treating TPFs. The aim of the present study is to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes between CRIF and ORIF procedures.

Background: Berberine is a herbicidal chemical that we isolated from Coptis chinensis. In continuation of our program aimed at discovering and developing natural botanical herbicides, we evaluated the herbicidal activities of 39 berberine analogues and developed a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model.

Results: Among these 39 analogs, the most active compounds were determined to be worenine chloride and coptisine chloride, with median inhibitory concentration (IC ) values on all eight tested weed species of < 10 mg L .

Epithelial tissues form the boundaries of organs, where they perform a range of functions, including secretion, absorption, and protection. These tissues are commonly composed of discrete cell layers-sheets of cells that are one-cell thick. In multiple systems examined, epithelial cells round up and move in the apical direction before dividing, likely in response to neighbor-cell crowding [1-6].
