Using the qualified rates of particles as the evaluation indexes, the impact tactors of one-step pelletization technology of Jiuwei Xifeng granules were selected from six factors by the Plackett-Burman experimental design and the levels of non-significant factors were identified. According to the Plackett-Burman experimental design, choosing the qualified rates of particles and angle of repose as the evaluation indexes, three levels of the three factors were selected by Box-Behnken of central composite design to optimize the experimental. The best conditions were as follows: the fluid extract was sprayed with frequency of 29 r . min-1, inlet air temperature was 90 °C, the frequency of fan was 34 Hz. Under the response surface methodology optimized scheme, the average experimental results are similar to the predicted values, and surface methodology could be used in the optimization of one-step pelletization for Chinese materia medica.

A technology was developed for managing Zn-bearing dust, facilitating the recycling of hazardous solid waste and the production of porous carbon materials. In the one-step process, Zn-bearing dusts were employed not only as raw materials to prepare reduced Zn-bearing dust pellets but also as activators to prepare K, Na-embedded activated carbon. In the process, the Fe, C, Zn, K, and Na in the dusts were rationally utilized.

Treating bone infections and ensuring bone recovery is one of the major global problems facing modern orthopedics. Prolonged antibiotic use may increase the risk of antimicrobial resistance, and inflammation caused by biofilms can obstruct tissue healing, making bone infection treatment even more challenging. The optimal treatment strategy combines immune response modification to promote osteogenesis with effective bacterial infection removal that does not require long-term antibiotic use.

Drinking water softening has primarily prioritized public health, environmental benefits, social costs and enhanced client comfort. Annually, over 35 billion cubic meters of water is softened worldwide, often utilizing three main techniques: nanofiltration, ion exchange and seeded crystallization by pellet softening. However, recent modifications in pellet softening, including changes in seeding materials and acid conditioning used post-softening, have not fully achieved desired flexibility and optimization.

The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a derivate of fat tissue comprising both adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells and serves as a promising cell source for engineering vascularized bone tissues. Its combination with osteoconductive biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic may represent a point-of-care agent for bone reconstruction. Here we assessed the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacities of SVF on 3D printed BCP implants, in comparison with isolated adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs).

Osteoarthritis treatment remains a significant clinical challenge. Quercetin, a natural flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties, might be utilized to treat OA. However, poor water solubility and short joint retention duration limit its bioavailability and translation to clinical applications.
