Antimony (Sb) is a toxic heavy metal that endangers both the environment and human health. In response to the growing need for efficient Sb removal from printing and dyeing wastewater (PDW), this study introduces a novel titanium-manganese binary oxide adsorbent (T2M1BO) synthesized via precipitation. Experimental results show that T2M1BO exhibited higher absorption efficiency for Sb(III) compared to Sb(V), with maximum adsorption capacities recorded at 323.19 mg/g for Sb(III) and 273.65 mg/g for Sb(V) at pH 5. The findings emphasize the synergistic interaction between titanium and manganese oxides, which enhances the adsorption of antimony. Adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, consistent with the Freundlich isotherm model. While Sb(V) adsorption involved surface metal hydroxyl group replacement and inner-sphere complex formation, Sb(III) removal required a more complex approach, incorporating adsorption and oxidation processes. The straightforward synthesis, high efficiency, and recyclability of T2M1BO position it as a cpromising candidate for antimony removal in recyclability wastewater treatment.

Hydrogel-based soft machines are promising in diverse applications, such as biomedical electronics and soft robotics. However, current fabrication techniques generally struggle to construct multimaterial three-dimensional hydrogel architectures for soft machines and robots, owing to the inherent hydrogel softness from the low-density polymer network nature. Herein, we present a multimaterial cryogenic printing (MCP) technique that can fabricate sophisticated soft hydrogel machines with accurate yet complex architectures and robust multimaterial interfaces.

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have the potential to produce complex parts, and many of these techniques require the use of support structures to prevent deformations and to minimize thermal effects during the printing process, particularly when building overhangs and internal cavities. However, removing the support structures through postprocessing incurs additional costs and time penalties. Unlike other AM techniques, support structures are not used in directed energy deposition (DED) technique due to its working principle.

Background: Treating infectious bone defects combined with large soft-tissue lesions poses significant clinical challenges. Herein, we introduced a modified two-stage treatment approach involving the implantation of 3D-printed prostheses and flap repair to treat large segmental infectious tibial bone defects.
Method: We conducted a retrospective study of 13 patients treated at our center between April 2018 and March 2022 for tibial infections owing to posttraumatic infection and chronic osteomyelitis combined with soft tissue defects.

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is nowadays a powerful technique widely used in biosensing and imaging, offering high sensitivity and specificity for detecting and mapping biomolecules. Screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) offer a versatile and cost-effective platform for ECL applications due to their ease of fabrication, disposability, and suitability for large-scale production. This research introduces a novel method for improving the ECL characteristics of screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) through the application of CO laser treatment following fabrication.

Background: Pelvic reconstruction after type I + II (or type I + II + III) internal hemipelvectomy with extensive ilium removal is a great challenge. In an attempt to anatomically reconstruct the hip rotation center (HRC) and achieve a low mechanical failure rate, a custom-made, 3D-printed prosthesis with a porous articular interface was developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients treated with this prosthesis.
