In this study, we reported the one-step synthesis of chitosan-Fe(OH) beads without the use of acid solvent, which could be used as effective adsorbents for anionic dyes removal. The preparation process was easy and green. The as-prepared beads were characterized for structural and morphological analysis in detail using several techniques, such as Scanning Electron Microscope, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric analysis. The content of Fe(OH) in chitosan-Fe(OH) beads was 54.64 wt%. The removal efficiencies toward anionic dyes: congo red (CR) and methyl orange (MO) by chitosan-Fe(OH) beads were higher than pure chitosan beads. Moreover, the incorporation of Fe(OH) into chitosan beads could overcome the obstacle that powdery Fe(OH) particles are difficult to be separated from the adsorption solutions. The maximum adsorption capacities from Langmuir model for CR and MO by chitosan-Fe(OH) beads were 445.32 and 314.45 mg/g, respectively. The thermodynamic data indicated that the adsorption processes were spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, chitosan-Fe(OH) beads also showed good reusability and the removal efficiencies for both dyes retained above 95% after five cycles. From this work, it suggests that chitosan-Fe(OH) beads have great potential as low-cost and effective adsorbents for the removal of anionic dyes.

Introduction: Chronic inflammation is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Currently, the inflammatory cardiovascular risk is assessed via C-reactive protein (CRP) levels measured using a high-sensitivity assay (hsCRP). Monomeric CRP (mCRP) is a locally produced form of CRP that has emerged as a potential biomarker of inflammation.

Purpose: The diagnosis and management of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients can be challenging. Hypercalcemia is often associated with significant morbidity and end-organ damage which may delay a patient's recovery.
Methods: We report a case series of three patients who underwent orthopedic procedures with intraoperative placement of vancomycin-loaded calcium sulfate beads.

brown seaweed () is reported to exhibit several biological activities that promote human health, but it does not have the ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and oxygen exposure. Encapsulation of extraction through different techniques is known to, optimize physicochemical properties, biological activities, maintain stability, and is an effective way to improve the shelf life of different foods. In the present study, the encapsulation of SIE was carried out by the freeze-drying method using maltodextrin, whey protein isolate (WPI), and chitosan.

Kiwifruit ()-derived actinidin, a cysteine protease, is renowned for its meat-tenderizing and milk-clotting activities. Despite its potential in various biotechnological applications, an efficient expression platform for actinidin production has not yet been developed. Instead, actinidin has traditionally been purified directly from the fruits of various plants.

This case involved a 21-year-old male patient who was admitted due to having a lump behind the left ear that had been present for 2 years and had gradually increased in size for over a year. This was accompanied by palpable hard masses on the same side of the neck. Laboratory tests indicated an elevated eosinophil count, and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the "string-of-beads" sign in the left cervical lymph nodes.
