Background: Occupational exposure is of increasing concern, posing a serious threat to nurses, especially in the event of a public health emergency. Bibliometrics sheds novel light on the current state of research and factors influencing nurses' occupational exposures, illuminating hot topics and trends in the literature. Bibliometrics is essential to analyze the potential harm to nurses in Asia.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIron-based PAA activation process is a promising advanced oxidation process for water decontamination which depends on Fe(II) as the main reactive site for PAA activation, resulting in various reactive oxidative species (ROSs) generation. For practical application, the impact of water matrix chloride ion (Cl) on ROSs production and contaminants removal should be carefully considered. In this study, it's found that the introduction of Cl (0.

However, the surface oxyhydroxide passivation layer produced during the preparation and oxidation of ZVI hinders its dissolution and Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycling, and restricts the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, copper sulfide (CuS) was found to effectively enhance the degradation of diverse organic pollutants in the ZVI/HO system.

Platinum-cobalt (Pt-Co) alloy electrocatalyst has been commercially applied to hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles, and their intermetallic forms promise better durability, which is crucial to satisfy the 8000 h lifetime target of heavy-duty vehicles and other transportation options. In this feature article, we first present the atomically ordered structures of Pt-Co intermetallic, then discuss the thermodynamic and kinetic driving forces for making the PtCo-based intermetallic nanoparticles with desired structural attributes, followed by recent examples to illustrate how to achieve better control in composition, size, and shape.

As metal often exists in the high-symmetry crystal phase, such as face centered cubic structures, reducing the symmetry is often needed for the formation of low-dimensional nanostructures. Recent advances in characterization and theory allow for a deeper understanding of the formation of 2D nanostructures.

As MUC1 often appears to be an important molecule in inflammation and tumor immunity, it is necessary to summarize the leading countries, authors, journals, and the cooperation among these entities and, most importantly, to determine the main research directions related to MUC1 in this field and the associated research frontiers. A total of 3,397 related studies published from 2012-2021 were retrieved from the Web of Science core database.

We performed an in-depth study of the potential mechanisms of ovarian cancer, predicted potential therapeutic targets and performed survival analysis of the potential targets. Serum exosomes from three ovarian cancer patients were used as the experimental group, serum exosomes from three patients with uterine fibroids were used as the control group, and whole transcriptome analysis of serum exosomes was performed to identify differentially expressed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in ovarian cancer.

In most cases, the mechanisms of carcinogenesis usually relate to disorders of signaling activity. Considering the crucial role of SMAD7 in the crosstalk of multiple signaling pathways, it is necessary to clarify and define the dominant research topics, core authors, and their cumulative research contributions, as well as the cooperative relationships among documents or researchers.

Podocyte injury or loss plays a major role in the pathogenesis of proteinuric kidney disease including diabetic nephropathy (DN). High basal level of autophagy is critical for podocyte health. Recent studies have revealed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) can ameliorate podocyte injury and proteinuria.
