Ruthenium-containing ordered mesoporous carbon (Ru-OMC) catalysts with highly dispersed Ru nanoparticles semi-embedded in carbon framework were prepared via a direct RuCl3/SBA-15 hard templated method. The effect of sulfuric acid on the texture structure and catalytic performance of Ru-OMC were studied. The status of Ru nanoparticles and mesoporous structure of Ru-OMC catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), nitrogen sorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and CO chemisorption techniques. The addition of appropriate amount of sulfuric acid is necessary to improve the ordered mesoporous structure of Ru-OMC catalysts. The framework of carbon structure shrinks with the increase in sulfur acid contents, which is proved by a slight decrease in surface area and increase in pore diameters for Ru-OMC with different sulfur contents. The turnover frequency (TOF) for Ru-OMC reaches the highest up to 3.98 s(-1) in benzene hydrogenation with optimized sulfur acid content of 0.08 mmol/g sucrose.

This study aimed to enhance inulinase production from agricultural biomass pretreated with deep eutectic solvents (DES) using Aspergillus niger A42 (ATCC 204447). Barley husk (BH), wheat bran (WB), and oat husk (OH) were selected as substrates and were pretreated using different molar ratios of choline chloride: glycerol (ChCl: Gly) and choline chloride: acetic acid (ChCl: AA). DES pretreatment was followed by dilute sulfuric acid hydrolysis.

Chemical weathering of lithologies with high geochemical backgrounds such as black shale has been proposed to be a critical source for toxic elements in soil and water systems. However, mechanisms controlling the release, migration and enrichment of toxic elements during black shale weathering are poorly understood. This study utilized a suite of micro analytical techniques such as TESCAN integrated mineral analyzer (TIMA), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron micro-probe analysis (EMPA) to elucidate the intimate relationship between mineralogical transformations and elemental behaviors from profile scale to mineral scale.

Purpose: To evaluate prevalence and incidence rates of pigmentary maculopathy and retinopathy (PM/PR), and visual acuity (VA) changes in patients exposed to pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) and in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) not exposed to PPS.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study (January 2015-March 2021) which included adult de-identified patients from the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) and Komodo Health database. Three patient cohorts were identified: two PPS-exposed patient cohorts, and Non-PPS-exposed IC patient cohort.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults.

Methods: Literature searches were conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases to screen randomized controlled trial (RCT) of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults, starting from the establishment of the database and ending on May 22, 2024. The control group received conventional treatment.
