Results are presented from the determination of tissue iron and ferritin in 15 pathological livers (6 with steatosis, 8 with fibrosis/cirrhosis and 1 with haemochromatosis). The histological assessment according to the Rowe system, after Perls' staining, was compared with the measurement of the iron content in liver homogenate by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results of the flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry were less accurate than in normal livers, but the method can still be considered reliable with satisfactory precision. As in normal livers, the range of chemically determined values in the histological staining grades was considerable and there was quite an overlap between consecutive grades. The chemical determination of liver iron content is to be preferred. The levels of ferritin protein and ferritin iron follow the same pattern as the total iron content.

With the growing demand for nickel in the stainless steel and battery industries, conventional methods of extracting nickel from ores face challenges such as high production costs and environmental concerns. This study proposes a new process for the recovery of nickel metal and the production of nickel-iron alloys from nickel-bearing scrap. The reduction rates of nickel and iron oxides were investigated by optimizing the roasting temperature, time, and C/O ratio, and the process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).

Hemolytic anemia (HA) is characterized by massive destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) and insufficient oxygen supply, which can lead to shock, organ failure, even death. Recent studies have preliminarily demonstrated the therapeutic effectiveness of whole blood exchange (WBE) in the management of acute hemolytic anemia and exhibited potential for reducing the duration of corticosteroid treatment, while the underlying mechanism of WBE therapy was not investigated in preclinical study. Hence, we investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of WBE in HA through established continued WBE therapy in rats creatively.

The goaf formed by mining and other activities is prone to safety hazards. Preparing high-quality and low-cost solidified iron tailings powder (SITP) is an important way to ensure backfill quality and eliminate safety hazards. Using iron tailings powder near the goaf of in Shanxi, comparative experiments were conducted to evaluate the the flowability, stone rate, strength, and water stability of newly mixed SITP under different types and dosages of curing agent, and mixing methods.

Background: The antioxidant capacity of anthocyanins (AC) rapidly degrades during storage, highlighting the need for their stabilization. The conformational properties and high proline content of sodium caseinate (NaCAS), combined with the formation of NaCAS microgels in the presence of tara gum (TG) and acid gelation, suggest its potential as an effective stabilizing or encapsulating agent of AC.
Results: Spectrofluorimetric results suggest the formation of a complex between NaCAS and AC.

Background: Anemia is prevalent among pediatric patients diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In addition, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) and iron supplementation are considered the cornerstones in the management of anemia. However, a significant proportion of patients remain anemic.
