A short cut review was carried out to establish whether core stability exercises are better than conventional exercise for treating non-specific low back pain. 6 papers were found of which 4 presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of these best papers are tabulated. The clinical bottom line is the perception that a core stability rehabilitation programme will improve low back pain has not been proven.

20% acute pancreatitis (AP) develops into severe AP (SAP), a global health crisis, with an increased mortality rate to 30%-50%. Mitochondrial damage and immune disorders are direct factors, which exacerbate the occurrence and progression of AP. So far, mitochondrial and immunity injury in SAP remains largely elusive, with no established treatment options available.

A significant concentration of pharmaceuticals has been detected within composted sewage sludge. Their uncomplete removal and lack of monitoring during composting neglects their potentially toxic effects when used as a soil organic amendment. Previously, we successfully implemented a bioaugmentation-composting system focused on toxicity and pharmaceuticals' concentration reduction.

A Silicon-containing Oligomeric Charring Agent (CNCSi-DA) containing triazine rings and silicon was designed, synthesized and characterized. CNCSi-DA was chosen as macromolecular coating agent to modify Ammonium Polyphosphate (APP) to be core-shell coating-mixture (APP@CNCSi-DA). The synergistic effects of APP@CNCSi-DA on hydrophobicity, mechanical and flame retardant properties, and mechanism of flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) were studied.

The study aimed to investigate the stability and anti-allergic efficacy of phycocyanin through the construction of microcapsules. Phycocyanin (PC), a blue pigment found in microalgae, has attracted significant attention due to its anti-allergic properties. However, it is susceptible to instability when exposed to light, heat, and changes in pH.

Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) is a targeted product for liquid fuel fires and has the benefits of a long storage period and high fire extinguishing efficiency. However, because of the toxicity and bioaccumulation of the core raw material's long-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, traditional AFFF is being phased out. For this reason, three efficient AFFFs (F-1, F-2, and F-3; more details in Table 2) were designed using anionic surfactants (PBAF) with branched C perfluorinated chains, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), and dodecyl dimethyl betaine (BS-12) as core materials.
