Meta-analysis of probiotics efficacy in the treatment of minimum hepatic encephalopathy.

Objective: This study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in treating minimum hepatic encephalopathy (MHE).

Methods: A systematic search was conducted across three major databases: PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang. The search period spanned from the inception of each database to 9 March 2023.

Paracetamol degradation via electrocatalysis with B and N co-doped reduced graphene oxide: Insight into the mechanism on catalyst surface and in solution.

This paper presents the use of B and N co-doped reduced graphene oxide (BN-GN) as an electrode for paracetamol electrochemical degradation. The reaction mechanism, focused on active sites in the atom level and dominant radical species generated through the reaction, was analyzed by characterization, density functional theory (DFT) calculation, quenching experiments, and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis. The characterization results indicated that the introduction of N and B functionalities into GN improved catalytic activity due to the generation of new surface defects, active sites, and improvement of conductivity.

Catalytic performance and mechanism of graphene electrode doped with S and N heteroatoms for N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanamide electrochemical degradation.

As operation performance of electro-oxidation is strongly influenced by feature of anode materials, apparently oriented preparation of electrode materials to maximize stable degradation efficiency would be top-priority consideration for system optimization. Recently, heteroatoms hybrid graphene is well known as one of major matrices popularly constructed onto anode modification due to its excellent electronic properties and long-term operation stability. The novelty focused on the first proposed competitive interactions between N and S species on graphene edges for improving operation efficiency.
