Congo red dye degradation using Fe-containing mineral as a reactive material derived from waste foundry dust
This study investigated the applicability of industrial waste. The high affinity of Fe-based products is widely used for industrial effluents because of their capability to oxidize contaminants. Waste foundry dust (WFD) is an Fe oxide that has been investigated as a potential reactive material that causes the generation of reactive oxidants. We aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of WFD and the feasibility in the Fenton oxidation process. The WFD was used as a catalyst for removing Congo red (CR), to evaluate the generation of •OH and dissolution of Fe during the oxidation process. The linkage of •OH ge...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of cholera hotspots in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1973 to 2022
Since the early 1970s, cholera outbreaks have been a major public health burden in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Cholera cases have been reported in a quasi-continuous manner in certain lakeside are... (Source: BMC Infectious Diseases)

Removal of dyes from wastewater using Eucalyptus wood fiber loaded nanoscale zero-valent iron: Characterization and removal mechanism
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Mar 25:131141. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131141. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWood fiber as a natural and renewable material has low cost and plenty of functional groups, which owns the ability to adsorb dyes. In order to improve the application performance of wood fiber in dye-pollution wastewater, Eucalyptus wood fiber loaded nanoscale zero-valent iron (EWF-nZVI) was developed to give EWF magnetism and the ability to degrade dyes. EWF-nZVI was characterized via FTIR, XRD, zeta potential, VSM, SEM-EDS and XPS. Results showed that EWF-nZVI owned a strong magnetism of 96.51 emu/g. The dye remov...

Sensitivity of the African neuropsychology battery memory subtests and learning slopes in discriminating APOE 4 and amyloid pathology in adult individuals in the Democratic Republic of Congo
This study demonstrates that some ANB memory subtests and learning slope metrics can discriminate those that are normal from those with amyloid pathology and those with and without APOEε4, consistent with findings reported in Western populations. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

How does ionizing radiation affect amyloidogenesis in plants?
CONCLUSION: Our data hinted that protein accumulation stimulated seedlings' growth as well as accelerated ontogenesis and, eventually, senescence, primarily through translation and RNA processing. The increased abundance of primary metabolism-related proteins indicates more intensive metabolic processes triggered in germinating pea seeds upon X-ray exposure. The functional role of detected putative amyloidogenic proteins should be validated in overexpression or knockout follow-up studies.PMID:38530837 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2024.2331126 (Source: International Journal of Radiation Biology)

Ultrasonic-assisted extraction, anti-biofilm activity, and mechanism of action of Ku Shen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix) extracts against Vibrio parahaemolyticus
The objective of this study is to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction process of Ku Shen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix) extracts (KSE) against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and explore their anti-biofilm activity and mechanism of action. The ultrasonic-assisted extraction process of KSE optimized by single factor experiment, Box–Behnken design and response surface methodology was as follows: 93% ethanol as solvent, liquid/material ratio of 30 mL/g, ultrasonic power of 500 W, extraction temperature of 80°C and time of 30 min. Under these conditions, the diameter of inhibition circle of KSE was 15.60 ± 0.17 ...
