Background: The persistently rising complication, pseudotumor, after hip arthroplasty required surgeons' vigilance. Although the remaining controversial relationship between metal ions and pseudotumor, metal ion detection had been widely employed in clinic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between metal ions and pseudotumor, as well as the effectiveness of metal ion analysis in the screening and diagnosis of pseudotumor through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: The Medline and Embase databases were searched for studies evaluating metal ions and patients with pseudotumors after hip arthroplasty. A systematic review of risk ratio and diagnostic performance for metal ions was conducted.

Results: Seven studies were included in the systematic review. The mean Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) score of the included studies was 19 (range, 14 to 22). Pooled risk ratio (RR) value was 2.01(95% CI: 1.25-3.24; P = 0.004) for cobalt ions level and 1.44 (95% CI: 1.10-1.88; P = 0.008) for chromium ions level. The pooled sensitivity, specificity and the area under the curve (AUC) for cobalt and chromium ions were determined to be 0.59, 0.82, 0.73 and 0.34, 0.82, 0.56, respectively.

Conclusions: The metal ions level has a low diagnostic value. It is of certain value for confirmation, but should not be used as a routine screening indicator. The diagnostic value of cobalt ions is higher than that of chromium.

Level Of Evidence: Diagnostic Level IV.

Male infertility is a common complication of diabetes. Diabetes leads to the decrease of zinc (Zn) content, which is a necessary trace element to maintain the normal structure and function of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metformin combined with zinc on testis and sperm in diabetic mice.

Unlocking the Key to Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production Using Electronic Mediators for Z-Scheme Water Splitting.

J Am Chem Soc

A prevalent challenge in particulate photocatalytic water splitting lies in the fact that while numerous photocatalysts exhibit outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity in organic sacrificial reagents, their performance diminishes markedly in a Z-scheme water splitting system using electronic mediators. This underlying reason remains undefined, posing a long-standing issue in photocatalytic water splitting. Herein, we unveiled that the primary reason for the decreased HER activity in electronic mediators is due to the strong adsorption of shuttle ions on cocatalyst surfaces, which inhibits the initial proton reduction and results in a severe backward reaction of the oxidized shuttle ions.

Formation of Nanowindow between Graphene Oxide and Carbon Nanohorn Assisted by Metal Ions.

Langmuir

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University, 3-1-1 Tsushimanaka, Kita-ku, Okayama 700-8530, Japan.

This study presents a novel nanostructured material formed by inserting oxidized carbon nanohorns (CNHox) between layered graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets using metal ions (M) from nitrate as intermediates. The resulting GO-CNHox-M structure effectively mitigated interlayer aggregation of the GO nanosheets. This insertion strategy promoted the formation of nanowindows on the surface of the GO sheets and larger mesopores between the GO nanosheets, improving material porosity.

The regulation of artificial interphase for advanced Zn anode is an effective solution to achieve superior electrochemical performance for aqueous batteries. However, the deployment of atomically precise architectures and ligand engineering to achieve functionalization-oriented regulatory screening is lacking, which is hindered by higher requirements for synthetic chemistry and structural chemistry. Herein, we have first performed ligand engineering which selected zinc ion trapping ligands (-CH3) based on the coordination effect, and zinc substrate binding ligands (-N=N-xC6H5) based on the electrostatic interaction.

The removal of heavy metal ions, such as lead (Pb2+), from aqueous systems is critical due to their high toxicity and bioaccumulation in living organisms. This study presents a straightforward approach for the synthesis and surface modification of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for the magnetic removal of Pb2+ ions. IONPs were produced via electrosynthesis at varying voltages (10-40 V), with optimal magnetic properties achieved at 40 V resulting in highly crystalline and magnetic IONPs in the gamma-maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) phase.
