Background: Residual Inhibition is considered as tinnitus alteration immediately after exposure to sound. Its clinical significance and correlation with the pathophysiology and treatment prognosis of tinnitus remain enigmatic. The objective of this review is to critically appraise scientific evidence regarding the residual inhibition prevalence and how it is correlated with different sound stimuli.

Methods: A systematic review of tinnitus Residual Inhibition (RI) studies was performed, focusing on prevalence, methods used, stimuli presented and responses obtained. A literature search (PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, MEDLINE) was conducted. Seventeen studies involving 1066 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Sound stimulation was performed using pure tones, customized sounds, narrow- and broadband noises, and modulated sounds.

Results: Sound stimuli exposure produced complete RI of tinnitus in 34.5% of patients (range 5.6-72%), with higher RI rates after stimulation with pure tones and narrowband noise centered to the tinnitus perceived pitch. RI duration tends to increase when stimuli duration increases.

Conclusions: RI is frequent and can be induced by narrow-band noise (NBN), broadband noise (BBN), pure tones, customized sounds and modulated sounds. Adequate evidence to support the use of RI as a tool for tinnitus phenotyping or as a management option is pending. Further clinical research exploring the profile of patients with RI and its potential use as prognostic factor should be conducted.

Background: Subcritical water (SW) is regarded as an effective conversion technology for lignocellulosic biomass. The effect of SW on ginseng are limited to evaluate the ginsenoside composition of red ginseng, and there is little information on the effects of SW on fresh ginseng.

Methods: The general characteristics of ginseng extracts (GE) prepared with SW were evaluated in terms of brix, reducing sugar and residual solid content, and compositions of GE was estimated using chromatography.

Polyoxometalate-based injectable coacervate inhibits HCC metastasis after incomplete radiofrequency ablation via scavenging ROS.

J Nanobiotechnology

Department of Nuclear Medicine, The Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, 519000, China.

Background: Incomplete radiofrequency ablation (iRFA) stimulates residual hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastasis, leading to a poor prognosis for patients. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an effective therapeutic strategy to prevent iRFA-induced HCC metastasis.

Results: Our study revealed that iRFA induced an abnormal increase in ROS levels within residual HCC, which enhanced tumor cell invasiveness and promoted macrophage M2 polarization, ultimately facilitating HCC metastasis.

Clarithromycin, a common antibiotic found in domestic wastewater, persists even after treatment and can transfer to soils when treated wastewater (TWW) is used for irrigation. This residual antibiotic may exert selection pressure, promoting the spread of antibiotic resistance. While Predicted No Effect Concentrations (PNECs) are used in liquid media to predict resistance risks, PNEC values for soils, especially for clarithromycin, are lacking.

Nitrogen removal from multi-electrolyte saline wastewater via mainstream anammox in warm climate conditions.

J Environ Manage

Article Synopsis
  • High salt concentrations in wastewater present challenges to biological treatment, specifically impacting the anammox process, which has been primarily studied with NaCl.
  • This study examined the treatment of multi-electrolyte saline wastewater over 684 days, finding that anammox bacteria adapted well to increasing salinity levels, achieving 84.3% nitrogen removal efficiency at 0.72 wt%.
  • The research indicated that while the presence of residual organic matter shifted the metabolic pathway, the anammox process remained dominant, accounting for 83% of nitrogen removal despite changes in bacterial community structure.

This study explores the effects of a subcritical seawater treatment (SST) on buckwheat waste (BW), and the use of the hydrolysate as a liquid fertilizer to improve the growth of lettuce ( L.). Three temperature treatments (110 °C, 170 °C, 230 °C) were used for the SST, and the ionic composition in the seawater achieved the depolymerization and degradation of BW.
