The effectiveness and mechanism of permanganate enhancing arsenite (As(III)) co-precipitation with ferric chloride is investigated. Effects of parameters such as pH, natural organic matter (NOM) on As removal are studied. Permanganate significantly enhances As(III) removal for ferric co-precipitation (FCP) process. With Fe(III) dosage increasing from 2mg/L to 8mg/L, As removal increased from 41.3% to 75.4% for FCP process; for permanganate oxidation-ferric co-precipitation (POFCP) process, however, corresponsive As removal increased from 61.2% to 99.3% . As removal increased with higher pH for both processes; comparing to FCP process, pH had less effects on As removal for POFCP process; the presence of NOM reduced As removal for FCP process whereas no obvious reduction was observed for POFCP process. Permanganate oxidizing As(III) to As(V) is the main course for enhancing As(III ) removal; furthermore, products of permanganate reduction, hydrous MnO2 (s), also contribute to removing As. POFCP process exhibits good potential of removing As(III ) to assure chemical safety of drinking water.

Background: The development of resistance to oxaliplatin is a multifaceted process, often involving modifications in drug transport, DNA repair mechanisms, and the ability of cells to evade drug-induced apoptosis.
Objective: To evaluate whether knocking down RFC3 promotes the sensitivity of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to oxaliplatin, potentially offering a new approach to combat drug resistance.
Methods: siRNA-mediated knockdown of RFC3 was employed in colorectal cancer cell lines to assess the impact on oxaliplatin responsiveness.

Foods and beverages with health benefits have become increasingly popular with consumers, and fruits and legumes are considered good sources of nutrients. In this study, sea buckthorn and fava bean were used as the main raw materials to prepare sea buckthorn-fava bean composite instant powder (S-FCP). Different drying methods (spray-drying (SD) and freeze-drying (FD)) combined with carriers (maltodextrin (MD) and inulin (INU)) were involved to investigate their effects on physicochemical properties, functional properties, and sensory attributes of instant powder.

Background: There are discrepancies between guidelines of scientific societies and information of the package inserts of contrast media concerning breastfeeding following the application of a contrast agent to the mother.
Objectives: The contents of different review articles reflect the opinion of scientific societies. Consequently, in clinical routine settings it is difficult to find the optimal advice for a breastfeeding woman and her baby.

Developing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts in an efficient strategy, while maintaining high catalytic activity and stability under high current densities, remains a crucial problem. In this study, a bimetallic iron-cobalt phytic acid complex loaded with polyaniline hollow structure (FCP@PAn) was successfully constructed, via a progress of selective etching and surface modification in one step without high-temperature phosphating or carbonization. The as-obtained FCP@PAn required only 329 and 385 mV overpotentials at high current densities of 500 and 1000 mA cm, respectively, due to phytic acid and polyaniline incorporation and the coordinated effect of each component.

Legume seeds, such as chickpeas, are a rich source of resistant starch (RS) and have a low glycemic index (GI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cooking and cooling chickpea pasta on the RS content, glycemic response, and GI in healthy subjects. Twelve healthy subjects of both sexes, aged 18-65 years, participated in this study.
