Control of bleeding after oral surgery is mandatory in patients taking anticoagulants. There are different haemostatic measures to prevent post-surgical bleeding. The aim of the present paper is to study the use of a haemostatic agent, calcium sulphate (CaS) (P30, Ghimas, Bologna, Italy) for controlling post-surgical bleeding in a group of patients treated with warfarin therapy for thromboembolic states. Twenty teeth (12 mandibular molars, 8 maxillary molars) in 20 patients (14 male and 6 females) with a mean age of 54.3 years (±10.3 years) were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups; in the study group of 10 patients calcium sulphate was used in layers to fill the socket after extraction, while for the 10 patients in the control group put a gauze with tranexamic acid was put in the extraction site immediately after extraction, and half an hour after extraction. The outcome was bleeding in subsequent days. Bleeding at post-operative day 1 was significant in 5 patients of the control group, however, in the study group treated with calcium sulfate there was no bleeding in any patient (p value 0.0055). CaS demonstrated to be a good haemostatic agent for controlling bleeding after oral surgery in patients taking anticoagulants.

Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are major causes of sudden cardiac death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is one common uremic toxin found in CKD patients. This study investigated whether IS could induce VAs via increasing right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) arrhythmogenesis.

Exposure to alcohol can induce different degrees of damage to various tissues and organs, and brain is the most vulnerable part affected by alcohol. However, there is no detailed report on whether intermittent alcohol exposure can result in pathological changes in the hypothalamus of adolescent rats and the detailed mechanism. This study investigated pathological changes in the hypothalamus, probed the levels of inflammatory factors, and detected the expression of proteins related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) to determine whether ERS is involved in the injury process of the hypothalamus and the protective mechanism of L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP).

In the process of zinc hydrometallurgy, the content of fluorine in zinc sulfate solution directly affects the stripping of the zinc plate, which easily leads to the deterioration of working conditions. It not only has a serious impact on the entire zinc hydrometallurgical system but also causes huge economic losses. Especially in the process of zinc secondary resource utilization, the concentration of fluoride ions in the electrolyte exceeds the control standard of smelting enterprises, which has become a long-term technical challenge in the smelting industry.

The reactions at the mineral-solution interface govern whether heavy metals (HMs) ions are retained within minerals or migrate with the solution, thus influencing their cycling and fate. However, the mechanisms driving this differential behavior of HMs at the interface remain poorly understood. In this study, we present a novel paradigm for the selective retention of HMs ions at the mineral-solution interface.
