This study develops and solves two-dimensional convective-conductive coupled partial differential equations based on Pennes' bio-heat transfer model using low Curie temperature nanoparticles (LCTNPs) to illustrate thermal behavior quantitatively within tumor-normal composite tissue by establishing a multi-region finite difference algorithm. The model combines NEel relaxation and temperature-variant saturation magnetization derived from Brillouin Equation and Curie-Weiss Law. The numerical results indicate that different deposition patterns of LCTNP and boundary conditions directly effect the steady state temperature distribution. Compared with high Curie temperature nanoparticles (HCTNPs), optimized distributions of LCTNPs within tumorous tissue can be used to control the temperature increase in tumors for hyperthermia treatment using an external magnetic field while healthy tissue surrounding a tumor can be kept closer to normal body tissue, reducing the side effects observed in whole body and regional hyperthermia therapy.

Developing purely organic room-temperature magnetic semiconductors has been a long-sought goal in the material community toward the simultaneous control of spin and charge. Organic cocrystals, known for their structural versatility and multifunctionality, are ideal candidates for these magnetoelectric coupling applications. However, organic room-temperature magnetic semiconductor cocrystals have rarely been reported, and their mechanisms remain poorly understood due to the complexity of cocrystal structures.

Curcumin and hesperetin are plant polyphenols known for their poor solubility. To address this limitation, we prepared amorphous PVP K30-phosphatidylcholine dispersions via hot-melt extrusion. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the amounts of active ingredients and phosphatidylcholine, as well as the process temperature, on the performance of the dispersions.

The removal of soot particles via high-performance catalysts is a critical area of research due to the growing concern regarding air pollution. Among various potential catalysts suitable for soot oxidation, cerium oxide-based materials have shown considerable promise. In this study, CeO samples obtained using a range of preparation methods (including hydrothermal synthesis (HT), sonochemical synthesis (SC), and hard template synthesis (TS)) were tested in soot combustion.

Agomelatine (AGM) is an effective antidepressant with low oral bioavailability due to intensive hepatic metabolism. Transdermal administration of agomelatine may increase its bioavailability and reduce the doses necessary for therapeutic effects. However, transdermal delivery requires crossing the barrier.

The RE-M-Ge systems (RE: rare earths, M: transition group elements) contain a large number of compounds with special magnetic properties. A novel compound ErMnGe was found during the investigation on the phase diagram of the Er-Mn-Ge ternary system, and its crystal structure and magnetic properties were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction results show that ErMnGe crystallizes in an orthorhombic YNiSi-type structure with the space group Pnma (No.
