Antibiotics cannot be effectively removed by traditional wastewater treatment processes, and have become widespread pollutants in various environments. In this study, a Z-type heterojunction photo-catalyst Pg-CN (PCN)/Nitrogen doped biochar (N-Biochar)/BiVO (NCBN) for the degradation of norfloxacin (NOR) was prepared by the hydrothermal method. The specific surface area of the NCBN (42.

Rationale: This case report aims to describe the treatment of infected placenta accreta in the uterine horn by transabdominal temporary occlusion of internal iliac arteries.

Patient Concerns: A 29-year-old female patient had a history of retained placenta for 28 days after labor induction in the second trimester of pregnancy because of fetal malformation.

Diagnoses: Placenta accreta in the uterine horn was diagnosed by 3-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and the diagnosis was confirmed during the operation.

Microplastics (MPs) have been detected in drinking water, which could absorb or accumulate humic acid (HA) and threaten the water quality. Coagulation-ultrafiltration (CUF) is a common drinking water treatment technology, but its behavior and mechanism of removing MPs and MPs-HA remain unclear. In this study, the removal mechanism of polystyrene (PS)-MPs coagulated by Al- and Fe-based salts with or without HA was investigated to optimize the CUF process.

The low-toxicity treatment of chromium-containing wastewater represents an important way of addressing key environmental problems. In this study, a core-shell structural ZIF-8@TiO photocatalyst was synthesized by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The obtained composite photocatalyst possessed improved photocatalytic activity compared with TiO.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of the lncRNA ENST00000623984 on colorectal cancer. In this study, the expression levels of ENST000000623984 were first examined in tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissue from 40 patients with colorectal cancer and LoVo cells using quantitative real-time PCR. By siRNA transfection, ENST00000623984 expression was knocked down.

Porous carbon is one of the most widely used materials to remove Cr(VI) from polluted water. Here we reported one efficient porous carbon material prepared from corn straw. The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy dispersion spectrum (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the porous carbon surface had functional groups such as COOH, OH and COC, etc, which could be acted as active sites during the adsorption process.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer that accounts for 85% of thyroid cancers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play important roles in the biological processes in cancer. In this study, we analyzed the biological role of miR-4728 in human PTC process in human PTC cell lines in vitro.

Interleukin-16 (IL-16) polymorphisms have been associated with various disease states, and its activity is dysregulated in synovial fibroblasts of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Here, the association between genetic polymorphisms in the gene encoding IL-16 and susceptibility to primary knee osteoarthritis was investigated in the Chinese Han population. The study included 228 unrelated patients, half of whom presented with primary knee osteoarthritis (OA); the remainder was healthy individuals.

Objective: To study the chemical constituents in the active portion from the flowers of Polygonum oriental.

Method: Chromatographic techniques were employed for isolation and purification of the constituents and their structures were determined by spectral analysis and chemical evidence.

Result: Nine compounds were obtained and identified as alphitonin (1), methyl 3, 4-dihydroxybenzoate (2), apocynin (3), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-glucoside (4), 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene (5), 3,3'-dimethoxyellagic-acid-4-O-beta-D-glucoside (6), kaempferol-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (7), quercetin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnoside (8), kaempferol (9).
