Paradigm and efficiency of industrial waste resource utilization: Evidence from China.

Achieving industrial symbiosis and zero emissions requires integrated frameworks for optimizing industrial waste valorization. However, existing studies often overlook the synergy between operational paradigms and multidimensional efficiency. This study bridges this gap through a mixed-methods investigation of 48 Chinese industrial waste resource (IWR) utilization centers, combining qualitative analysis of 1.

Radiofrequency Improves Facial Fine Lines by Thermal Effect: Damage or Just Stimulation?

Background: Radiofrequency (RF) has been widely used for rejuvenation treatments, but without knowledge of the effective temperature of the target tissues or guidance on treatment parameters, it often leads to adverse reactions and pain. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that thermal stimulation can produce facial rejuvenation effects and to determine the optimal bipolar RF treatment parameters for treating facial fine lines.

Methods: A bipolar RF device combined with CORE Technology was used in this study.

Synergies between the circular economy and carbon emission reduction.

Climate change and sustainable development drive transformation in economic development models. Carbon emission reduction and the circular economy propel climate change and sustainable development, yet it's unclear if they synergize or counteract each other. This study examines the question from theoretical and practical perspectives.

An Immune-Regulating Polysaccharide Hybrid Hydrogel with Mild Photothermal Effect and Anti-Inflammatory for Accelerating Infected Wound Healing.

Bacterial infections and excessive inflammation present substantial challenges for clinical wound healing. Hydrogels with mild photothermal (PTT) effects have emerged as promising agents owing to their dual actions: positive effects on cells and negative effects on bacteria. Here, an injectable self-healing hydrogel of oxidized konjac glucomannan/arginine-modified chitosan (OKGM/CS-Arg, OC) integrated with protocatechualdehyde-@Fe (PF) nanoparticles capable of effectively absorbing near-infrared radiation is synthesized successfully.

Efficacy and safety of ablative CO fractional laser and narrowband intense pulsed light for the treatment of hypertrophic scars: a prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Background And Objectives: Hypertrophic scarring is a complex process, and numerous methods have been introduced to treat scars. This study aims to evaluate the effect of combined CO fractional laser and narrowband intense pulsed light (IPL) compared to IPL alone in the treatment of hypertrophic scars.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, randomized controlled study enrolled 138 patients with hypertrophic scars.

Laser, Intense Pulsed Light, and Radiofrequency for the Treatment of Burn Scarring: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Burns and scarring are considered some of the greatest problems in public health because of their frequent occurrence. Today, photo-electric technology shows promising results in the treatment of burn scars. Over the years, more clinical trials and more technologies for scarring have emerged.

Phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of the genus Prunella.

Prunella is a genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the Labiatae family. There are approximately 15 species worldwide, distributed widely in the temperate regions and tropical mountains of Europe and Asia. In the genus Prunella, P.

[Analysis of different dosage forms of Xiasangju granules on fingerprints and models using high performance liquid chromatography].

To establish the fingerprints of Xiasangju granules (with sugar and non-sugar forms) by HPLC, and provide reference for their identification and effective quality control. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was used to collect the fingerprints of 20 batches of non-sugar Xiasangju granules and 34 batches of sugar type Xiasangju granules. Their main different components were classified and screened by mode identification methods (principal component analysis, PCA, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminate analysis, OPLS-DA).
