Bioactive glasses have recently gained attention in tissue engineering and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting because of their ability to enhance angiogenesis. Some challenges for developing biological tissues with bioactive glasses include incorporation of glass particles and achieving a 3D architecture mimicking natural tissues. In this study, we investigate the fabrication of scaffolds with a polymer/bioactive glass composite using near-field electrospinning (NFES). An overall controlled 3D scaffold with pores, containing random fibers, is created and aimed to provide superior cell proliferation. Highly angiogenic borate bioactive glass (13-93B3) in 20 wt.% is added to polycaprolactone (PCL) to fabricate scaffolds using the NFES technique. Scaffolds measuring 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.2 mm in overall dimensions were seeded with human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to investigate the cell viability. The cell viability on PCL and PCL+glass scaffolds fabricated using NFES technique and 3D printing is compared and discussed. The results indicated higher cell proliferation on 3D biomimetic scaffolds fabricated by NFES technique.

Scaffolds are of great interest in tissue engineering associated with regenerative medicine owing to their ability to mimic biological structures and provide support for new tissue formation. Several techniques are used to produce biological scaffolds; among them, far-field electrospinning (FFES) process is widely used due to its versatility in producing promising structures similar to native tissues owing to the electrospun nanofibers. On the other hand, near-field electrospinning (NFES) has been investigated due to the possibility of creating scaffolds with suitable architecture for their use in specific biological tissues.

To enhance the adsorption and detoxification capabilities of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) using agricultural spent mushroom substrate (SMS), this study pioneered the preparation of biochar (NBC) from Lentinus edodes spent substrate. Subsequently, nano iron sulfide (FeS) particles were integrated onto NBC with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a stabilizer, resulting in a novel composite biosorption material, nFeS-BC. The adsorption and reduction potential of both NBC and nFeS-BC against Cr(VI) were evaluated through batch experiments, which identified pH as a critical factor influencing adsorption efficiency.

Most studies have focused on complex strategies for materials preparation instead of industrial wastewater treatment due to emergency treatment requirements for metal pollution. This study evaluated sodium polyacrylate (PSA) as a carbon skeleton and FeS as a functional material to synthesize PSA-nFeS material. The characteristics and interactions of PSA-nFeS composites treated with hexavalent chromium were analyzed by means of various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).

Background: The dietary nutritional status of pregnant women is critical for maintaining the health of both mothers and infants. Food exchange systems have been employed in the nutritional guidance of patients in China, although their application in the dietary guidance of healthy pregnant women is quite limited. This study aimed to develop a novel food exchange system for Chinese pregnant women (NFES-CPW) and evaluate the relative validation of its application.
