Background: Large arteriovenous malformations are often managed via endovascular embolisation followed by surgical resection. We describe the use of a new liquid embolic agent (LEA) - precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid (PHIL) and its advantages over existing LEAs.
Case: A 60-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging right post-auricular arteriovenous malformation. He underwent successive angioembolisation with PHIL and subsequent surgical resection on post-embolisation day 1.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PHIL being used in pre-operative embolization of a large extra-cranial head and neck AVM. Its excellent penetration into small calibre vessels, decreased glare artefact on imaging and decreased skin pigmentation render it a compelling alternative to existing LEAs.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a new method to create triangular lignin nanoparticles (LNPs), improving on traditional spherical shapes, for potential use in optical applications.
- This green technique employs solvent shifting and acid precipitation, allowing for controlled structural changes in the nanoparticles.
- The resulting LNPs exhibit good hydrophobic properties, excellent UV-blocking efficiency, and long-term stability in aqueous suspensions, making them promising for applications like sunscreen.
Alkaline-Assisted Excessive Impregnation for Enhancing Au Nanoparticle Loading on the TS-1 Zeolite.

State Key Laboratory of Chemical Safety, 339th Songling Road, Qingdao 266071, China.
Direct epoxidation of propylene (CH) with hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) over the Au/TS-1 catalyst is known as the "Holy Grail" reaction for propylene oxide (PO) synthesis. However, Au nanoparticle loading on TS-1 was limited by traditional deposition precipitation, impregnation and could not achieve ideal catalytic results. In this report, alkaline-assisted excessive impregnation helped to remove Cl from the Au impregnation precursor, improve the loading efficiency of Au nanoparticles and overcome the abnormal growth of nanograins.

Prodigiosin (PG) is a natural compound produced by microorganisms, that is known for its promising bioactive properties. However, owing to its inherent water insolubility, low bioavailability, and poor stability, the practical application of prodigiosin remains challenging. In this work, the nanoparticles of prodigiosin-loaded zein-pectin were prepared using electrostatic deposition and antisolvent precipitation methods.

Coffee husks have been valorised by isolating humic materials before (HLS-Raw) or after (HS-Comp) composting them. Such substrates were reacted with chitosan at different ratios to synthesize novel nanoparticles (NP) with radical scavenging properties. Size and antioxidant activity of nanomaterials increased at higher HS/chitosan ratio, while zeta potential decreased.

Environmental issues arising from the low pesticide utilization rate make the development of environmentally friendly and low-cost pesticide carrier systems an urgent problem to be solved. Pickering emulsion systems have shown broad application prospects in pesticide delivery. In this study, dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA) was used to hydrophobically modify cellulose nanofiber (D-CNF), and biomimetic flower-like zinc oxide (ZnO) particles were prepared by precipitation method at room temperature.
