Mechanism and Experimental Study on the Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Neodymium Iron Boron Waste Using the ZnF Fluorination Method.

We conducted a mechanistic and experimental study on zinc fluoride roasting for the recovery of NdFeB waste to address the difficulties faced during this pyrometallurgical recovery process, such as the high dependence on the quality of raw materials, the high energy consumption involved in roasting transformations, and the low added value of mixed rare earth products. Thermodynamic calculations showed the feasibility of fluorinating rare earths in NdFeB waste, and one-factor experiments were performed. The results showed that at a roasting temperature of 850 °C, a reaction time of 90 min, and 100% ZnF addition, the fluorination rate of rare earths could reach 95.

Self-concept clarity and envy as mediators between upward social comparison on social networking sites and subjective well-being.

The popularity of social networking sites increases opportunities for upward social comparison, potentially affecting individuals' subjective well-being. However, research on how this comparison impacts well-being's sub-components (i.e.

NaHS alleviates neuropathic pain in mice by inhibiting IL-17-mediated dopamine (DA) neuron necroptosis in the VTA.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) constitutes a significant burden for individuals, manifesting as nociceptive anaphylaxis, hypersensitivity, and spontaneous pain. Previous research has suggested that the analgesic effects of NP are mediated by dopamine (DA) neurons in the ventral tegmental region (VTA) through projections to various brain regions. A decrease in VTA dopamine neurons following NP may contribute to prolonged pain.

STING facilitates the development of radiation-induced lung injury via regulating the PERK/eIF2α pathway.

Background: Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is one of the serious adverse reactions of thoracic radiotherapy, which largely limits the dose and therapeutic effect of radiotherapy. The underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. RILI is characterized by an acute inflammatory response, and stimulator of interferon genes (STING) has been reported to play an important role in regulating inflammation and innate immune activation.

Discovery of penicillic acid as a chemical probe against tau aggregation in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder proven to be caused by the aggregation of protein tau into fibrils, resulting in neuronal death. The irreparable neuronal damage leads to irreversible symptoms with no cure; therefore, disaggregation of these tau fibrils could be targeted as a therapeutic approach to AD. Here we have developed a fungal natural product library to screen for secondary metabolites that have bioactive potential towards AD tau.

Outer synchronization and outer H synchronization for coupled fractional-order reaction-diffusion neural networks with multiweights.

This paper introduces multiple state or spatial-diffusion coupled fractional-order reaction-diffusion neural networks, and discusses the outer synchronization and outer H synchronization problems for these coupled fractional-order reaction-diffusion neural networks (CFRNNs). The Lyapunov functional method, Laplace transform and inequality techniques are utilized to obtain some outer synchronization conditions for CFRNNs. Moreover, some criteria are also provided to make sure the outer H synchronization of CFRNNs.

[A Comparative Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Immune Monotherapy versus Immunotheray Combined with Chemotherapy in Elderly Patients Aged 75 Years and Above with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer].

Background: The malignant tumor that has the highest global morbidity and death rate is lung cancer, which primarily affects the elderly. The therapy landscape for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has transformed with the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of immune monotherapy and immunotheray combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC aged 75 years and above.

Tau seeds catalyze fibril-type structures from GFP tau biosensor cells.

Fibril-type aggregates of tau occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dozens of tauopathies. Fibrils catalyze aggregation by prion-like seeding, which in part underlies disease progression. Seeding by recombinant and brain-derived tau fibrils is measured using biosensor cells that express aggregation-prone tau mutants fused with fluorescent reporter proteins.

[Comparative study of total hip arthroplasty with and without femoral osteotomy in Crowe Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip].

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of total hip arthroplasty(THA) with and without femoral osteotomy in Crowe Ⅳ developmental hip dislocation(DDH).

Methods: The data on 46 patients who underwent THA for unilateral Crowe Ⅳ DDH between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into two groups according to the different surgical methods.

Identification of key proteins in early-onset Alzheimer's disease based on WGCNA.

Introduction: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) is sporadic, highly heterogeneous, and its underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain largely elusive. Proteomics research aims to uncover the biological processes and key proteins involved in disease progression. However, no proteomic studies to date have specifically focused on EOAD brain tissue.

The role of core self-evaluation between peer victimization and depression: A longitudinal multilevel moderated mediation model and the healthy context paradox in Chinese adolescents.

Background: According to the healthy context paradox, the negative effects of peer victimization on core self-evaluation and depressive symptoms may vary in different levels of classroom-level victimization. However, previous studies have not investigated this issue using a longitudinal study design.

Objective: The present study used a longitudinal design to examine why and under what conditions peer victimization was associated with adolescents' depressive symptoms.
