In this study, porous biochar (PBC) was prepared by acid activation of biochar derived from food waste (FWBC) and used as a suitable approach for the removal of 4-chlorophenol (CP) in wastewater. The characterization of PBC and the influent of different experimental conditions are determined. After the acid activation process, the surface area, porosity, and functional groups of PBC were developed. The removal performances of CP (1 mg/L) by PBC and FWBC were archived at 97.8 and 82.1%, respectively. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms of CP were followed by the second-order and Langmuir models, respectively. The maximum capacities of CP uptake onto mono-layer of FWBC and PBC based on the Langmuir model were determined at 79.8 and 108.7 mg/g, respectively. Besides, PBC could remove more than 89% CP from wastewater within 45 min of reaction time and it is suitable to reuse 8 times with over 60% adsorption efficiency of CP. In addition, the adsorption mechanism and environmental impact were discussed in detail. This work could bring a sustainable approach to the treatment of CP in wastewater as well as the management of food waste in Vietnam.

Sorafenib enhanced the function of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in hepatocellular carcinoma by facilitating PPARα-mediated fatty acid oxidation.

Background: Sorafenib, an FDA-approved drug for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), faces resistance issues, partly due to myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) that enhance immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methods: Various murine HCC cell lines and MDSCs were used in a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. These included subcutaneous tumor models, cell viability assays, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and RNA sequencing.

Background: The microbes residing in ruminant gastrointestinal tracts play a crucial role in converting plant biomass to volatile fatty acids, which serve as the primary energy source for ruminants. This gastrointestinal tract comprises a foregut (rumen) and hindgut (cecum and colon), which differ in structures and functions, particularly with respect to feed digestion and fermentation. While the rumen microbiome has been extensively studied, the cecal microbiome remains much less investigated and understood, especially concerning the assembling microbial communities and overriding pathways of hydrogen metabolism.

Background: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex disease that negatively impacts the social and academic/occupational activities of children and is more common in boys than in girls.
Methods: This case-control study aimed to assess the association between some environmental risk factors and ADHD among children in Alexandria, Egypt. It was carried out at the outpatient clinics of El Shatby Pediatric University Hospital in Alexandria, Egypt, with 252 children (126 cases and 126 controls).
Evaluation of the efficiency of smear layer removal during endodontic treatment using scanning electron microscopy: an in vitro study.
BMC Oral Health

Department of Dental Science, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Background: The smear layer formed during root canal instrumentation negatively affects root canal irrigation activity, which in turn can affect the treatment prognosis of endodontic treatment.
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of smear layer and debris removal in root canals using different irrigation protocols using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Materials And Methods: The quality of smear layer removal throughout the root canal was assessed in 30 intact extracted teeth divided into 3 groups according to the irrigation protocol: Group 1: 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) alternately with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acetate (EDTA) was used.

An efficient in vitro propagation protocol has been established for a valuable medicinal plant, Salix tetrasperma using mature nodal explants. The investigation aimed to observe the influence of various combinations and concentrations of cytokinins (mT, BA, and Kn) and auxins (NAA, IAA, and IBA) on regeneration potential using the Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. Among individual cytokinin treatments, 5.
