Article Abstract

The efficiency of organic acid treatment in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass fractions has been widely recognized. In this study, a novel green pyruvic acid (PA) treatment is proposed. The higher separation efficiency of eucalyptus hemicellulose was obtained at 4.0% PA and 150 °C. The hemicellulose separation yield was increased from 71.71 to 88.09% compared to glycolic acid (GA) treatment. In addition, the treatment time was significantly reduced from 180 to 40 min. The proportion of cellulose in the solid increased after PA treatment. However, the accompanying separation of lignin was not effectively controlled. Fortunately, a six-membered ring structure was formed on the diol structure of the lignin β-O-4 side chain. Fewer lignin-condensed structures were observed. High-value lignin rich in phenol hydroxyl groups were obtained. It provides a green path for the simultaneous achievement of efficient hemicellulose separation and inhibition of lignin repolymerization using organic acid treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of abbreviated liver magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) with a second-shot arterial phase (SSAP) image for the viability of treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after non-radiation locoregional therapy (LRT).

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with non-radiation LRT for HCC who underwent the modified gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI protocol, which includes routine dynamic and SSAP imaging after the first and second injection of gadoxetic acid, respectively (6 mL and 4 mL, respectively), and an available reference standard for tumor viability in the treated HCC between March 2021 and February 2022. Two radiologists independently reviewed the full-protocol MRI (FP-MRI) and AMRI with SSAP.

Major depressive disorder is a prevalent and debilitating psychiatric illness that produces significant disability. Clinical data suggest that the pathophysiology of depression is due, in part, to a dysregulation of inflammation and glutamate levels in the brain. The systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to induce depressive-like behaviors in mice.

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPPs) are rare but clinically relevant complications of thoracic trauma, often misdiagnosed due to their non-specific presentation and resemblance to other cavitary pulmonary lesions. We report the case of a 26-year-old male presenting with delayed symptoms following a fall, ultimately diagnosed with multiple TPPs via thoracic CT scan. The patient experienced a favourable evolution with conservative management, including aerosolized tranexamic acid for minor hemoptysis.
