The chiral morphology of calcium carbonate (mainly vaterite) was successfully synthesized by using CaCl under l-aspartic acid guiding by diffusion of in-site generation of CO and NH from (NH)CO and NH·HO. Its structure was characterized by XRD, SEM/TEM and FT-IR, it indicated that the helical-shaped chiral calcium carbonate was uniform in a diameter of 10-20 μm and height of 1 μm, and tortuous nanosheets with a thickness of 50 nm were evolved more abundant from center to edge in counterclockwise. The enantioseparation performance for racemic dibenzoyltartaric acid was evaluated, the chiral calcium carbonate showed certain recognition ability for l-dibenzoyltartaric acid due to its better matching with l-dibenzoyltartaric acid molecules in stereochemical structure. Chiral separation ability for dibenzoyltartaric acid could be significantly improved by dibutyl maleate modification of chiral calcium carbonate; the maximal ee values for dibenzoyltartaric acid increased from 20.62% to 62.15%. The synergism of chiral helical-shaped suprastructure, large proportion of vaterite and modification of surface by functional group resulted in the excellent enantiomer separation.

The association between domestic water hardness and kidney stone disease: a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank.
Int J Surg
December 2024
Department of Urology, The Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Background: Kidney stone disease is a common surgical disease and significant public health issue, may be influenced by environmental factors such as domestic water hardness and its related minerals. Previous studies have shown inconsistent and controversial results regarding the impact of domestic water hardness on kidney stone formation.
Methods: This prospective cohort study analyzed data from 288,041 participants in the UK Biobank with no prior history of kidney stones from 2006-2024.
The effect of sevelamer on serum calcification propensity in patients with chronic kidney disease: the results of a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial.

Background: The serum calcification propensity test (or T50 test) might become a standard tool for the assessment of vascular calcification risk and T50 might be a valuable biomarker in clinical trials of treatments intended to slow the progression of vascular calcification. Literature data suggest that non-calcium-containing phosphate binders can influence T50 in chronic dialysed patients. However, it is not clear whether similar interventions are effective in patients at earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Supercritical (sc) CO in geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) can chemically and mechanically deteriorate wellbore cement, raising concerns for long-term operations. In contrast to the conventional view of "sulfate attack" on cement, we found that adding 0.15 M sulfate to the acidic brine can significantly reduce the impact of scCO attack on Portland cement, resulting in stronger cement than that found in a sulfate-free system.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cuttlebone (CB), also known as SEPIAE ENDOCONCHA, is the inner shell of cuttlefish and has been employed in traditional medicine in numerous countries since antiquity. Despite its significant medicinal value, CB is often underestimated and discarded on the beach as debris in some countries, which considerably impacts the environment and economy.
The Aim Of The Review: This study aims to elucidate the value of CB, particularly in the context of its medicinal properties, to promote its rational utilization.
Magnetotactic bacteria from diverse Pseudomonadota families biomineralize intracellular Ca-carbonate.

Intracellular calcium carbonate formation has long been associated with a single genus of giant Gammaproteobacteria, Achromatium. However, this biomineralization has recently received increasing attention after being observed in photosynthetic Cyanobacteriota and in two families of magnetotactic bacteria affiliated with the Alphaproteobacteria. In the latter group, bacteria form not only intracellular amorphous calcium carbonates into large inclusions that are refringent under the light microscope, but also intracellular ferrimagnetic crystals into organelles called magnetosomes.
