Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) was used in the Al(OH)/carbon black/ethanol slurries by the three-roll mixing to prepare AlN powder using the carbothermal reduction-nitridation (CRN) process in the experiments. The effects of PVB addition on the synthesis of AlN powder were studied by viscosity, tap density, XRD, SEM and TG measurements. The results showed that the PVB layer covering on the surface of Al(OH) particles reduced the viscosity of Al(OH)/carbon/ethanol slurry and increased the dispersion homogeneity of Al(OH)/carbon raw powder. The tap densities of the Al(OH)/carbon mixtures after three-roll milling could be increased with the increase in PVB addition. In the CRN process, most of the PVB covering Al(OH) particles evaporated and supplied the passage for nitrogen removal to the particles. Based on the experimental data, the role of PVB on the mixing and CRN process was discussed.

Autophagy is a vital cellular process responsible for the degradation of proteins, organelles, and other cellular components within lysosomes. In neurons, basal autophagy is indispensable for maintaining cellular homeostasis and protein quality control. Accordingly, lysosomal dysfunction has been proposed to be associated with neurodegeneration, and with Parkinson's disease (PD) in particular.

Piezocatalytic materials have attracted widespread attention in the fields of clean energy and water treatment because of their ability to convert mechanical energy directly into chemical energy. In this study, γ-AlON particles synthesised using carbothermal reduction and nitridation (CRN) were used for the first time as a novel piezocatalytic material to degrade dye solutions under ultrasonic vibration. The γ-AlON particles exhibited good performance as a piezocatalytic material for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Objectives: Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding event-related potentials (ERPs) abnormalities in individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This meta-analysis aimed to systematically review and synthesize the existing evidence on ERP alterations in individuals with GAD.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Excerpta Medica Database, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP), Wanfang database, and China Biology Medicine (CBM) databases from inception to November 11, 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the effectiveness of enhanced insulin secretion and sensitivity measurements in diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among pregnant women at risk.
  • A total of 1,308 pregnant women were analyzed using a standard 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and categorized into specific GDM subtypes based on their insulin resistance and insufficiency levels.
  • Results showed that many women classified as having GDM exhibited unique characteristics, including a subgroup that was insulin-sensitive but displayed high blood sugar after meals, indicating the need for refined diagnostic criteria.
