Article Abstract
In this study, a β-cyclodextrin polymer (β-CDP) was synthesized by pretreating β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with citric acid (CA), and then, chitosan (CTS) and β-CDP were cross-linked to prepare a biomass-based (CTS/β-CDP) composite membrane. The effects of the preparation conditions in sodium hydroxide on the adsorption amount and adsorption rate of zinc ions (Zn ) from simulated wastewater were investigated. The results showed that a maximum adsorption amount 123.7 μg/g and adsorption rate 94.14% of Zn were obtained when the reaction between CTS and β-CDP was performed at 50°C, the concentration of acetic acid was 2%, dissolving β-CDP water dosage was 30 ml, and the soaking time in sodium hydroxide was 1 hr. Comparative studies on the adsorption of CTS membranes, β-CD, β-CDP, and CTS/β-CDP composite membrane showed that the CTS/β-CDP composite membrane had the highest Zn adsorption efficiency. The CTS/β-CDP composite membrane was characterized by FTIR, SEM, and XRD. Characteristic absorption peaks of CTS and β-CDP appeared in the FTIR spectra of the CTS/β-CDP composite membrane, confirming its synthesis. The SEM images showed that the surface of the composite membrane was rougher than the porous CTS membrane, which increased the number of adsorption sites and the adsorption efficiency. XRD patterns showed that the CTS/β-CDP composite membrane was amorphous, indicating that β-CDP changed the crystal structure of the CTS. The swelling degree and transmittance of the CTS/β-CDP composite membrane were lower than the CTS membrane, which should be conducive to recycling after wastewater treatment. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Industrial wastewater often contains heavy metal ions such as Zn , which are difficult to degrade and are highly toxic, and direct wastewater discharge can greatly harm the ecosystems and humans. In this study, CTS and β-CD were cross-linked to synthesize a biomass membrane for adsorbing Zn to reduce the Zn content in wastewater via adsorption.The results show that the CTS/β-CDP composite membrane can be applied to small-scale wastewater treatment fields such as food and chemical industry. After the Zn -containing wastewater underwent pretreatment, the composite membrane was placed into the wastewater for effective adsorption, which could achieve high adsorption efficiency. The process played a major role in effectively treating Zn and other difficult to degrade heavy metal ions; thereby, simplifying Zn -containing wastewater. The treatment process reduces the investment and operating costs of sewage treatment, and at the same time, has a significant removal effect, and hence, can meet the requirements of environmental protection discharge.

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of Paediatric Risk of Mortality-III, Paediatric Index of Mortality-II, and Paediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction scoring systems for major adverse events following congenital heart surgery.
Methods: This prospective observational study included patients under 18 years of age who were admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours postoperatively following congenital heart surgery. Major adverse events were defined as a composite of 30-day mortality, ICU readmission, reintubation, acute neurologic events, requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation, need for a permanent pacemaker, acute kidney injury, or unplanned reoperation.
A Reaction-Diffusion-Coupled Strategy for Ampere-Level Electrocatalytic Nitrate Reduction to Ammonia.
Nano Lett
September 2025
Institute of Energy Materials Science, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, P. R. China.
Ampere-level electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonia (eNRA) offers a carbon-neutral alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. However, its energy efficiency is critically hampered by the inherent conflict between the reaction and diffusion. Herein, we propose a reaction-diffusion-coupled strategy implemented on a well-tailored CuCoNiRuPt high-entropy alloy aerogel (HEAA) to simultaneously realize energy barrier homogenization and accelerate mass transport, endowing ampere-level eNRA with a high energy efficiency.

Background: Although aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction has demonstrated significant cardiovascular benefits, concerns have emerged regarding potential adverse effects of very low LDL-C on cellular functions, particularly membrane integrity as cholesterol constitutes an essential component of cellular membranes. The phase angle (PhA), derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) reflects cellular membranes integrity and nutritional status. The MALIPID study aimed to assess if LDL-C levels are associated with PhA in high cardiovascular risk patients.

Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) utilize "E-liquids" in order to generate "E-vapor", an inhalable aerosolized mixture containing nicotine and flavors. Flavored ENDS are very popular among teens who vape, however, the possible cardiac electrophysiological harm of inhalation exposure to flavored ENDS are not fully understood.
Objective: To test if inhalation exposure to flavoring carbonyls in e-liquids compromises mitochondrial integrity, increases oxidative stress, and leads to cardiac electrophysiological toxicity.
