Magnetic properties and rare earth element diffusion behavior of hot-deformed nanocrystalline dual-main-phase Nd-Ce-Fe-B magnets.

To inhibit the magnetic dilution effect of Ce in Nd-Ce-Fe-B magnets, a dual-alloy method is employed to prepare hot-deformed dual-main-phase (DMP) magnets using mixed nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B and Ce-Fe-B powders. A REFe (1 : 2, where RE is a rare earth element) phase can only be detected when the Ce-Fe-B content exceeds 30 wt%. The lattice parameters of the REFeB (2 : 14 : 1) phase exhibit non-linear variation with the increasing Ce-Fe-B content due to the mixed valence states of Ce ions.

Involvement of plasma lncRNA GSEC in sepsis discrimination and prognosis, and its correlation with macrophage cell inflammation and proliferation.

Background: Despite the dysregulation and function of G-quadruplex-forming sequence containing lncRNA (GSEC) have been widely reported in human cancers, there are few available data revealing its role in sepsis.

Objective: To assess the expression and function of GSEC in the development of sepsis and its potential molecular mechanism.

Materials And Methods: A total of 78 sepsis patients, 55 non-sepsis intensive care unit patients, and 42 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study.

Dual Utilization of Lignocellulose Biomass and Glycerol Waste to Produce Fermentable Levoglucosan via Fast Pyrolysis.

Glycerol waste was combined with microwave to pretreat lignocellulose before fast pyrolysis. After pretreatment, most alkali and alkaline earth metals (87.9%) and lignin (52.

Novel crude glycerol pretreatment for selective saccharification of sugarcane bagasse via fast pyrolysis.

Pretreatment is a vital process for efficient saccharification and utilization of lignocellulose. In this study, crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production was used for pretreatment to facilitate selective saccharification via fast pyrolysis. Due to the efficient removal of alkali and alkaline earth metals (>95.

MicroRNA‑216b inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in glioma by directly targeting metadherin.

Glioma is a well‑known aggressive and malignant brain tumor, and accounts for ~30% of all brain and central nervous system tumors. A number of studies have indicated that the abnormal expression of specific microRNAs (miR) serves vital roles in the tumorigenesis and tumor development of human cancer, including glioma. miR‑216b has been studied in a number of types of cancer.
