Xylan and gelatin-based hydrogels are prepared in different molar ratios using ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether cross-linker. The hydrogels are characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, morphology, thermal analysis, and swelling ratio. The rheological experiment shows the gels are cross-linked successfully by revealing the viscoelastic nature. The xylan-gelatin gel synthesized in a 5:1 molar ratio (hence XG5) has higher storage modulus, gelation temperature, and time among the synthesized gels. The adsorption behaviour of the synthesized gels is studied for the removal of methylene blue, by varying adsorbate concentration, pH, and temperature. Among the synthesized hydrogels, XG5 shows the highest adsorption capacity of 26.04 mg g at pH = 5.84 and 25 °C. The kinetics of the adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order model, and monolayer adsorption is adequately represented by the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption process is established as spontaneous, exothermic, and physisorption from the thermodynamic parameters.

This study focused on simulating the adsorption-based separation of Methylene Blue (MB) dye utilising Oryza sativa straw biomass (OSSB). Three distinct modelling approaches were employed: artificial neural networks (ANN), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS), and response surface methodology (RSM). To evaluate the adsorbent's potential, assessments were conducted using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Statement Of Problem: Staining at the gingival margin could impact denture longevity, but the behavior of gingival colored composite resins (GCCs) in this area remains unclear.
Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated surface staining, microleakage, and push-out bond strength at the gingival margin of artificial teeth, comparing two consistencies of GCCs with two resin base materials.
Material And Methods: Specimens included artificial teeth (Ivostar; Ivoclar AG) and two acrylic resin base materials: conventional (Ondacryl; Clássico) and high-impact (Diamond D; Keystone Industries) (n=300).

Surgical resection and lymphadenectomy are the mainstay of curative treatment for oesophagogastric cancer. In this study we evaluate the results of intravascular methylene blue injection into oesophagectomy and gastrectomy specimens as a tool to increase lymph node detection. A prospective and descriptive study was run on 24 patients (11 oesophagus, 13 stomach cases).

As a newly developed technology, lignocellulose pretreatment of PHP (phosphoric acid coupled with hydrogen peroxide) can facilitate the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulose for glucose production. It also has been found that the derived oxidative tail gas from pretreatment can facilely degrade organic pollutant. To balance the pollutant degradation and the glucose yield, the collaborative optimization on pretreatment was investigated.
