Few studies have reported complications in metal fixation systems, such as infection or device exposure. Here, we report our experience with exposed metal screws after the reduction of facial bone fracture. This will be a useful guide to using a metal fixation system in situations in which metal fixation systems should not be used.

Dinitrogen Activation and Conversion by Actinide Complexes.

JACS Au

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry, Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Advanced Organic Materials, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China.

The efficient activation and conversion of dinitrogen (N) represent a significant challenge in sustainable chemistry, offering potential pathways for synthesizing valuable nitrogen-containing compounds while reducing the environmental impact of traditional nitrogen fixation processes. While transition metal catalysts have been extensively studied for this purpose, actinide complexes have been less explored but have recently emerged as promising candidates due to their unique electronic properties and reactivity. This Perspective systematically examines the recent advances in N activation and conversion mediated by actinide complexes, with a particular focus on their synthesis, mechanistic insights, and catalytic capabilities.

Osteochondral injuries in the knee are uncommon in the immature skeleton and are usually related to sporting activities. Fixation is required depending on the size and location of the fragment. The standard technique is open reduction and internal fixation with metal screws, which are removed in a second procedure after consolidation.

Introduction: Salvage arthroplasty for failed proximal femoral fracture fixation is a complex procedure. This involves the removal of the primary failed or broken implant followed by a hip joint replacement procedure. The complications and technical difficulties associated with these surgeries are often difficult to anticipate.

Dry solidification of chloride salts and heavy metals in waste incineration fly ash by mayenite.

Waste Manag

December 2024

Jiangsu Key Laboratory of E-waste Recycling, School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, Jiangsu University of Technology, Changzhou 213001, PR China. Electronic address:

There are hazardous substances such as chloride salts and heavy metals in the municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (WIFA). During thermal treatment, the concentrated chlorides promote the volatilization of heavy metals, increasing the ecological risk. The water washing method is also employed as a pre-treatment for WIFA, but a substantial volume of wastewater with high chloride content is produced that poses challenges for effective treatment.

Single-Atom Mo Supported by TiO for Photocatalytic Nitrogen Fixation.

Langmuir

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of High-Efficiency Utilization of Coal and Green Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Ningxia University, Yinchuan, Ningxia 750021, PR China.

The challenge of achieving efficient photocatalysts for the fixation of ambient nitrogen to ammonia persists. The utilization efficiency of single-metal-atom catalysts leads to an increased number of active sites, while their distinctive geometrical and electronic characteristics contribute to enhancing the intrinsic activity of each individual site. In this study, we present a method using an organic molecule to assist in loading TiO with Mo single atoms for the purpose of photocatalytic nitrogen fixation.
