Sulfur vacancy-rich bismuth sulfide nanowire derived from CAU-17 for radioactive iodine capture in complex environments: Performance and intrinsic mechanisms.

Effective capture and immobilization of volatile radioiodine from the off-gas of post-treatment plants is crucial for nuclear safety and public health, considering its long half-life, high toxicity, and environmental mobility. Herein, sulfur vacancy-rich Vs-BiS@C nanocomposites were systematically synthesized via a one-step solvothermal vulcanization of CAU-17 precursor. Batch adsorption experiments demonstrated that the as-synthesized materials exhibited superior iodine adsorption capacity (1505.

Meta-analysis of efficacy and safety of sustained release oxycodone hydrochloride rectal administration for moderate to severe pain.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oxycodone hydrochloride (OxyContin) rectal administration in cancer pain patients. This is geared towards providing the research evidence for a novel route of OxyContin administration.

Methods: Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched in electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM).

Metabolomic Study on the Therapeutic Effect of the Jianpi Yangzheng Xiaozheng Decoction on Gastric Cancer Treated with Chemotherapy Based on GC-TOFMS Analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to find new biomarkers of prognosis and metabolomic therapy for gastric carcinoma (GC) treated with chemotherapy and investigate the metabolic mechanism of the Jianpi Yangzheng Xiaozheng (JPYZXZ) decoction in the treatment of GC.

Methods: First, 36 patients with GC were randomly assigned to the treatment (chemotherapy plus JPYZXZ) and control (chemotherapy alone) groups. The clinical efficacy, side effects, and quality of life of patients in the two groups were evaluated after treatment.

In Vitro and In Vivo Inhibitory Effect of Gujin Xiaoliu Tang in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a serious threat to people's health. This study aims to determine the possible effect of Gujin Xiaoliu Tang (GJXLT) on NSCLC, which is an empirical formula from Professor Dai-Han Zhou. In this study, chromatographic fingerprinting of GJXLT and A549 cell model in vitro and in vivo was established.

Ilexgenin A exerts anti-inflammation and anti-angiogenesis effects through inhibition of STAT3 and PI3K pathways and exhibits synergistic effects with Sorafenib on hepatoma growth.

Recently, we reported that Ilexgenin A exhibits anti-cancer activities and induces cell arrest. Here, we investigated the effect of Ilexgenin A on the inflammation, angiogenesis and tumor growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our current study revealed that Ilexgenin A significantly inhibited the inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 levels and downregulated pro-angiogenic factor VEGF production and transcription in HepG2 cells.

Facile hydrothermal synthesis and photocatalytic activity of bismuth tungstate hierarchical hollow spheres with an ultrahigh surface area.

Bismuth tungstate has attracted great attention as a new photocatalyst working under visible irradiation. In this paper, we demonstrate a facile hydrothermal route for controllable synthesis of novel Bi(2)WO(6) hierarchical hollow spheres with an ultrahigh specific surface area in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) at a proper C(2)H(5)OH/CH(3)COOH/H(2)O volume ratio. The obtained products are systematically studied by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy.

Controllable synthesis and luminescent properties of novel erythrocyte-like CaMoO4 hierarchical nanostructures via a simple surfactant-free hydrothermal route.

Synthesis of metal molybdates (XMoO(4), X = Ca, Sr, Ba) have received much attention recently because of their interesting structural and luminescent properties. Here novel erythrocyte-like CaMoO(4) hierarchical nanostructures are synthesized via a simple surfactant-free hydrothermal route. The formation of the calcium molybdate erythrocytes is controllable through adjusting the fundamental experimental parameters including reaction time, temperature and DMAc to H(2)O ratio.

Study on effect and mechanism of sodium ferulate in preventing and treating ozone induced lung injury in mice.

Objective: To study the effect and mechanism of sodium ferulate (SF) in preventing and treating ozone (O3) induced lung oxidative injury in mice.

Methods: Lung oxidative injury model mice were established by making them inhale O3. The activity of anti-oxidase and membranous microviscosity in epithelial cells in the lung of mice were determined, and the ultrastructural change of lung tissues was observed with electromicroscopy.

[Cloning and expression of a new glucoamylase gene].

According to the reported gene sequence of Rhizopus oryzae glucoamylases, the glucoamylase gene containing four introns was cloned from the total DNA of the natural Rhizopus arrhizu. Specific primers were designed to delete introns by overlapping PCR and a new cDNA sequence of Rhizopus arrhizu glucoamylase was obtained. The accession number in gene bank is DQ903853.

Effect of sodium ferulate on fluidity and morphology of cell membrane in ozone induced lung injury.

Objective: To study the effect of sodium ferulate (SF), an active component of Radix Angelica, on lung damage induced by ozone (03).

Methods: Mice model of lung injury was induced by ozone inhalation and treated with SF. The level of lipid peroxide and microviscosity in alveolar epithelial cell membrane of the mice was determined, and the structural change of lung cells was observed by microscopy.
