Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ketogenic diet (KD) in treating infantile epileptic spasm syndrome (IESS).
Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted to identify prognostic studies on the use of KD for IESS. Data from eligible studies were extracted and meta-analyzed using a random-effects model.
Article Synopsis
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent and lethal lung cancer, with its poor outlook linked to complex interactions in the tumor microenvironment.
- The study utilized methylation analysis and high-throughput sequencing to investigate how methylation impacts mRNA characteristics and its regulatory effects on tumor-related genes.
- Findings revealed that high levels of mRNA methylation correlate with changes in tumor microenvironment factors, affecting mRNA stability and translation, and resulting in worse prognosis for NSCLC patients.
In vitro inhalation bioaccessibility and health risk assessment of difenoconazole in the atmosphere.
Pest Manag Sci
February 2024
Background: Assessment of the risk of pesticide inhalation in populations around farmland is necessary because inhalation is one of the ways in which pesticides can risk human health. This study aimed to identify the inhalation risk of difenoconazole on humans by using dose-response and exposure assessments.
Results: In the field simulation application, respiratory exposure in populations around farmland ranged from 71 to 430 ng/m .
Article Synopsis
- Erysolin and its metabolites, ERY-GSH and ERY-NAC, were synthetically produced using environmentally friendly and cost-effective chemical processes involving alkylation and oxidation.
- The synthesis method was optimized for temperature, time, ratios, and purification to enhance efficiency.
- Both erysolin and its metabolites demonstrated significant antitumor effects on various cancer cell lines, indicating that the metabolites may also contribute to the compound's anticancer properties.
Enrichment of ventilation air methane (VAM) with carbon fiber composites.
Environ Sci Technol
May 2014
Treatment of ventilation air methane (VAM) with cost-effective technologies has been an ongoing challenge due to its high volumetric flow rate with low and variable methane concentrations. In this work, honeycomb monolithic carbon fiber composites were developed and employed to capture VAM with a large-scale test unit at various conditions such as VAM concentration, ventilation air (VA) flow rate, temperature, and purging fluids. Regardless of inlet VAM concentrations, methane was captured at almost 100%.

This paper evaluates a novel adsorbent material developed for capturing methane from ventilation air methane (VAM) gas in underground coal mines. The adsorbent material is a honeycomb monolithic carbon fibre composite (HMCFC) consisting of multiple parallel flow-through channels and the material exhibits unique features including low pressure drop, good mechanical properties, ability to handle dust-containing gas streams, good thermal and electrical conductivity and selective adsorption of gases.
