The role of iron-rich hydrosaline liquids in the formation of Kiruna-type iron oxide-apatite deposits.

Kiruna-type iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits, an important source of iron, show close associations with andesitic subvolcanic intrusions. However, the processes of ore formation and the mechanism controlling iron concentration remain uncertain. Here, we report the widespread presence of high-temperature (>800°C) water-poor multisolid hydrosaline liquid inclusions in pre- and syn-ore minerals from IOA deposits of eastern China.

Enhanced Catalytic Activity in Liquid-Exfoliated FeOCl Nanosheets as a Fenton-Like Catalyst.

A facile liquid-phase exfoliation method to prepare few-layer FeOCl nanosheets in acetonitrile by ultrasonication is reported. The detailed exfoliation mechanism and generated products were investigated by combining first-principle calculations and experimental approaches. The similar cleavage energies of FeOCl (340 mJ m(-2) ) and graphite (320 mJ m(-2) ) confirm the experimental exfoliation feasibility.

Efficacy and safety of triple-antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis.

Background: The combination of cilostazol, aspirin and clopidogrel (triple antiplatelet therapy, TAT) after a percutaneous coronary intervention has been used as an alternative therapy. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAT for patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We systematically searched Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science databases to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) with and without cilostazol after PCI.
