The role of the renal lymphatics in the handling of fluoride ion by the canine kidney was studied during IV sodium fluoride infusion. It was found that renal lymph and renal venous plasma have similar fluoride concentrations and that there was less fluoride in lymph than in arterial plasma. Fluoride did not alter renal lymphatic flow rate over a wide range of plasma fluoride concentrations.

Groundwater contamination is a growing global concern. The objective of the present study is to assess the groundwater quality of Khairpur district, Sindh, Pakistan-a region which is emblematic of broad environmental and public health challenges prevalent in South Asian countries. The study also aims to comprehend the impact of arsenic (As), fluoride (F), and nitrate (NO) dynamics and its health implications.

Inserting metal ions into the porphyrin ring is one of the primary strategies to enhance the properties of porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). However, the straightforward, rapid, and energy-efficient synthesis of porphyrin-based MOFs with high metallization for the porphyrin ring remains challenging. Herein, a solution anode glow discharge (SAGD) microplasma is presented for the one-step synthesis of scandium-metalloporphyrin frameworks (ScMPFs).

Fluorine is a strong oxidizing element and excessive intake can have harmful effects, particularly on the body's calcified tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated a link between miRNA and fluorosis. This study aimed to evaluate the time-dose-effect relationship of miR-200c-3p in plasma, urine and cartilage of rats with drinking water fluorosis, and to explore its potential as a biomarker.

A new and high performance polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) digestor was designed and fabricated in-house for the total dissolution of granite samples for the determination of technology-critical elements (TCEs) by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Initially, the granite sample (∼0.25 g) was placed in the PTFE digestor and added 8 mL(v/v) of 20%HF+40%HCl+10%HNO acid mixture.

The chemical inertness of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics poses challenges in achieving superhydrophobic coatings with durable adhesion on their surfaces. Conventional surface modification methods such as alkali etching and plasma etching typically compromise the favorable mechanical properties of PET. In this study, polydopamine (PDA) was utilized to functionalize the PET fabric nondestructively by creating robust and reactive hydroxyl and amine groups on its surface, which were subsequently used as a binder of superhydrophobic modifiers such as fluorine-free octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS).
