The radiation-induced degradation process of diuron and change of toxicity by gamma-irradiation were investigated. The contribution to diuron degradation by the radicals is in the order of: *OH > e(aq)(-) > *H. The quantum efficiency ratios of *OH, e(aq)(-) and *H for the degradation of diuron are calculated as 3 : 1 : 2. e(aq)(-) and *H could reduce diuron and its degradation product by loss of the chlorine atoms and the addition reaction. Both the shift and alkaline substitute mutations firstly increase and then decrease with the increase of irradiation time. But, the sample only shows mutagenic potential in Ames assay (TA100 strain) when 22.2 min is selected as the irradiation time. The acute toxicity firstly decreases and then increases with the increase of irradiation time and the more toxic substances are produced.

Background: Select patients with metastatic clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma can be treated without systemic therapy, yet few studies have explored this population. We investigated the efficacy of metastasis-directed therapy without systemic therapy in oligometastatic clear-cell renal-cell carincoma.
Methods: This investigator-initiated single-arm, phase 2 trial enrolled patients aged 18 years or older with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, histologically confirmed clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma, and one to five metastases.

The advanced degradation of ferricyanide ([Fe(CN)₆]³⁻) in industrial wastewater faces dual bottlenecks of self-acidification-induced hydrogen cyanide (HCN) release and inefficient decomplexation. This study innovatively constructs an alkaline UV/Peracetic Acid (PAA) synergistic system and systematically elucidates its triple action mechanism: (1) UV irradiation at 254 nm directly drives ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) excitation of ferricyanide, achieving efficient Fe-CN bond breaking (Φ₂₅₄ = 0.235-0.

A new variety of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) was produced using a hydrothermal synthesis method, based on propanedioic acid and barbituric acid as the sources of carbon and nitrogen. The NCDs were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Zeta Potential,X-ray Diffraction(XRD),Thermogravimetry-Derivative Thermogravimetry(TG-DTG),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Fluorescence Lifetime. The characterization results indicate that NCDs possess an average diameter of approximately 2.

The surgical approach of ureteral stricture has changed dramatically over the past 15 years with the rise of robotic upper urinary tract reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of all robotic ureteral reconstructions performed at a single academic center for ureteral stricture and to assess the predictive factors of stricture recurrence. The charts of all patients who underwent robot-assisted ureteral reconstruction between 2013 and 2024 at a single academic center were retrospectively reviewed.
