Article Abstract
Polychlorinated dibenzo--dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) can be formed during the production of chlorinated paraffins (CPs). Detection and accurate quantification of PCDD/Fs in CPs are challenging because of their matrix complexity. Therefore, the occurrence and formation mechanisms of PCDD/Fs from CPs have not been studied extensively in the past. In this study, 15 commercial samples including solid and liquid CPs were collected in 2022 from China. The average ΣSCCP concentrations detected in the solid and liquid CPs were 158 and 137 mg/g, respectively. The average International Toxic Equivalent (I-TEQ) values of 2,3,7,8-PCDD/F in solid and liquid CPs were 15.8 pg I-TEQ/g and 15.0 pg I-TEQ/g, respectively. The solid and liquid CPs had different predominant congener groups for SCCPs and PCDD/Fs. Possible formation routes for the generation of PCDD/Fs were analyzed by screening precursors in paraffin and laboratory-scale thermochemical experiments of CPs. The transformation between 2,3,7,8-PCDD/Fs and non-2,3,7,8-PCDD/Fs was recognized by calculating the successive chlorination preference. The first reported occurrence of PCDD/Fs in CP commercial products indicated that exposure to CPs and downstream products might be an assignable source of PCDD/F emission, which is of great significance to further explore the control factors of PCDD/Fs in the whole life cycle of CPs.

Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are being extensively researched as replacements for liquid electrolytes in future batteries. Despite significant advancements, there are still challenges in using SSEs, particularly in extreme conditions. This study presents a hydrated metal-organic ionic cocrystal (HMIC) solid-state ion conductor with a solvent-assisted ion transport mechanism suitable for extreme operating conditions.

Conventional acid-catalyzed acetalization faces significant challenges in catalyst recovery and poses environmental concerns. Herein, we develop a CeO-supported Pd single-atom catalyst (Pd/CeO) that eliminates the reliance on liquid acids by creating a localized H-rich microenvironment through heterolytic H activation. X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses confirm the atomic dispersion of Pd via Pd-O-Ce coordination, while density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) that facilitate electron transfer from CeO oxygen to Pd, downshifting the Pd d-band center and optimizing H activation.

is an environmental opportunistic fungal pathogen, which can lead to invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals, and resistant to conventional antifungual agents has become a growing concern. This study investigated the antifungal activity and the molecular antifungal mechanisms of Cinnamaldehyde (CA) against , specifically its impact on metabolic pathways and protein metabolism. In susceptibility tests, CA was found to exhibit promising antifungal activity against in both solid and liquid culture (biomass) systems, with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determined as 40-80 μg/mL.

Liquid biopsy, specifically circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, has emerged as a transformative tool in precision oncology, providing real-time, minimally invasive characterizations of the tumor and tumor dynamics. While tissue biopsy is a critical tool for baseline diagnosis of malignancy, it is often limited by sampling constraints and an inability to capture tumor heterogeneity. In this study, we explored the clinical utility of serial ctDNA testing in guiding therapeutic decisions across a cohort of 30 patients with diverse solid tumors.

Background and objectives Esophageal motility disorders (EMDs) are a major cause of non‑obstructive dysphagia. However, regional data from eastern India are limited. This study aims to describe the spectrum of EMDs in patients with non‑obstructive dysphagia using high‑resolution manometry (HRM) at a tertiary care center in eastern India, and to compare clinical symptoms, and endoscopic and barium findings in patients with achalasia versus non‑achalasia.
