Article Abstract

This study evaluated the Pb(II) sorption capacity of jujube pit biochar (JPB) in aqueous solution, which was derived from jujube pit by pyrolysis and used as a promising and economical adsorbent. More importantly, the utilization of JPB could realize the recycling of agricultural residues. The JPB was characterized using conventional science technologies, including SEM, BET and FT-IR, and the sorption capacity of JPB for lead ions was investigated according to different adsorption parameters, such as the kinetics data, solution pH, isotherms data, coexisting ions of Na and K, desorption and reusability, and solution temperature. The results of kinetics data suggested that the lead ion adsorption process by JPB could be fast to reach equilibrium within 30 min. Additionally, the adsorption capacity of JPB for Pb(II) was calculated to be maximum for 137.1 mg/g at pH 6.0. More importantly, after five cycles of desorption and reuse, the JPB still reached 70% of its original adsorption capacity. All the results suggested that JPB had a broad application prospect for the purification of lead ions in practical.

Small but high risk: a 10-year single-hospital study on sharp gastrointestinal foreign bodies-the case of the jujube pit.

Background: Guidelines from Europe and the United States concur that sharp foreign bodies (FBs) whose length exceeds 2.5 cm seldom traverse the pylorus and are associated with serious complications. To determine whether jujube pits conform to this rule, we investigated the clinical course of patients with jujube pit impaction, characterized the patient populations at greatest risk, and compared the diagnostic performance of barium esophagography (BE) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed the diagnostic effectiveness of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) in identifying jujube pit impaction in the esophagus among 40 patients from December 2018 to November 2019, with a focus on patient age, location of the impaction, complications, and treatment methods.
  • - A significant portion of the patients (75%) were 58 years or older and 80% of the jujube pits were located in the upper esophagus, with various shapes and densities; the analysis also categorized impactions based on their angle relative to the esophagus.
  • - Endoscopic evaluations revealed significant esophageal mucosal damage and perforations in some cases, highlighting MSCT's importance in assessing
