In the present study, the root chromosomal aberration assay was used to determine the genotoxic effects of copper and cadmium ions solutions before and after sorption processes. The sorption process was carried out using unmodified charcoal powder, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-modified charcoal powder, and The frequency of total chromosomal aberrations was observed to be 24.30-45.13% for copper and 13.16-45.14% for cadmium at different concentrations (1-500 mg/l) before the sorption process. Both metal ions solutions resulted in significant reduction of chromosomal aberrations after all the modes of the sorption processes. However, the order of reduction of percentage chromosomal aberrations for copper and cadmium solutions was found to be 45.29-70.04% and 47.80-84.57%, respectively (NTA-modified charcoal powder); >44.53-54.32% and 37.10-79.40%, respectively (unmodified charcoal powder); >15.59-48.51% and 13.63-21.50%, respectively ().

Aim Of The Study: This study investigated the mechanism by which the Postoperative Tongqi Formula (PTQF) treats postoperative ileus (POI) through regulation of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway, Zona occludens 1 (ZO-1) protein, and metabolism.
Methods: The primary components of PTQF were characterized using UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The identified compounds subsequently employed network pharmacology to predict the signaling pathways associated with the inflammatory phase of POI.

This in vitro study evaluated the effects of brushing with activated charcoal powder or toothpaste on enamel surface properties, including color change (ΔE), Knoop microhardness (HK), roughness (Ra), and the characteristics of the resulting brushing slurry [pH, fluoride (F), and calcium (Ca) concentration]. A total of 48 enamel samples were stained and divided into 4 groups ( = 12): activated charcoal toothpaste (AC-T), activated charcoal powder (AC-P), hydrogen peroxide-based whitening toothpaste (HP-T), and conventional toothpaste (C-T, positive control). The samples were subjected to a brushing cycling model, and ΔE, HK, Ra and enamel morphology were analyzed at baseline (T0) and after brushing cycle (T1).

The treatment of antibiotic wastewater often faces the challenge of simultaneously and effectively degrading multiple components under complex conditions. To address this challenge, magnetite nanoparticles doped ultrafine activated charcoal powder (MNPs/UACP), which effectively catalyzed the decomposition of HO into •OH and HO•, was prepared using chemical co-precipitation. Under optimum conditions (i.

Organic pollutants, especially dyes, are seriously hazardous to the aquatic system and humans due to their toxicity, and carcinogenic or mutagenic properties. In this study, a biochar prepared from agricultural waste (pecan shells) via pyrolysis was applied to remove the dye pollutant Congo Red from wastewater to avoid a negative effect to the ecosystem. This study also investigated the effect of preparation conditions (temperature and heating rate) on the physicochemical properties and the adsorption performance of biochars.

This study extends a previously developed competitive modeling approach for predicting the adsorption of organic micropollutants (OMPs) on powdered activated carbon (PAC) in full-scale advanced wastewater treatment. The approach incorporates adsorption analysis for organic matter fractionation, assumes pseudo-first order kinetics and differentiates between fresh and partially loaded PAC through fraction segregation. Validation through full-scale measurement campaigns reveals successful model predictions of OMP removal, underestimating, however, diclofenac removals by 15-20%.
