To recover Au(iii) from an acidic chloride-containing solution efficiently, an ionic liquid absorbent (CMPS-IL) was synthesized by grafting N-methyl imidazole onto chloromethylated polystyrene beads (CMPS). The adsorption capacity, selectivity, and reusability were systematically evaluated by a series of adsorption experiments. The maximum adsorption capacity reached up to 516.5 mg g−1 at 318 K. The adsorbent can selectively recover Au(iii) from binary system solutions with a higher separation factor βAu/M (104–106). Moreover, the adsorption–desorption cycles (7 cycles) showed that the CMPS-IL maintained a stable adsorption performance and high adsorption efficiency. Finally, the adsorption mechanism of CMPS-IL for Au(iii) was investigated by SEM, TEM, XPS, and FT-IR, then proposed with a combination of electrostatic interactions and d–π interaction between imidazolium and AuCl4−. This study provides an easily-prepared and economical adsorbent for Au(iii) with high selectivity and large adsorption capacity to boost its practical applications.The synthesis and adsorption properties for Au(iii) of CMPS-IL synthesized by grafting N-methyl imidazole onto chloromethylated polystyrene beads (CMPS).相似文献
Spinal infection is a rare pathology although a concerning rising incidence has been observed in recent years. This increase might reflect a progressively more susceptible population but also the availability of increased diagnostic accuracy. Yet, even with improved diagnosis tools and procedures, the delay in diagnosis remains an important issue. This review aims to highlight the importance of a methodological attitude towards accurate and prompt diagnosis using an algorithm to aid on spinal infection management.
Methods
Appropriate literature on spinal infection was selected using databases from the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
Results
Literature reveals that histopathological analysis of infected tissues is a paramount for diagnosis and must be performed routinely. Antibiotic therapy is transversal to both conservative and surgical approaches and must be initiated after etiological diagnosis. Indications for surgical treatment include neurological deficits or sepsis, spine instability and/or deformity, presence of epidural abscess and upon failure of conservative treatment.
Conclusions
A methodological assessment could lead to diagnosis effectiveness of spinal infection. Towards this, we present a management algorithm based on literature findings. 相似文献
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an immune-regulatory disorder characterized by excessive production of inflammatory cytokines. The treatment recommendations of the HLH- 1994 and HLH-2004 protocols have long been used in HLH therapy, but some patients still do not respond well to or have unacceptable side effects from conventional therapies. It is believed that cytokine-targeted strategies that directly target disease-driving pathways will be promising options for HLH. This prospective study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase 1/2 inhibitor, as a front-line therapy in children with secondary HLH. Twelve newly diagnosed patients without previous treatment were enrolled in this study with a median follow-up of 8.2 (range, 7.1-12.0) months, including eight cases of Epstein-Barr virus associated HLH (EBV-HLH), two cases of autoinflammatory disorder (AID)- associated HLH, and two cases of unknown etiology. Patients received oral ruxolitinib dosed on 2.5 mg, 5 mg or 10 mg twice daily depending on the body weight for 28 consecutive days. The overall response rate at the end of treatment (day 28) was 83.3% (ten of 12), with 66.7% (eight of 12) in complete response (CR), 8.3% (one of 12) in partial response (PR), and 8.3% (one of 12) in HLH improvement. Among the patients achieving CR, 87.5% (seven of eight) maintained CR condition more than 6 months, and one patient with EBV-HLH relapsed following CR. For the EBV-HLH subgroup, all eight patients responded to ruxolitinib, with a CR rate of 75% and a PR rate of 25%. Two patients with AID-associated HLH had quite different responses, with one showing reversal of the HLH abnormalities soon and the other showing no improvement, as did the two cases of unknown etiology. Patients who had no response or discontinued ruxolitinib all responded well to the subsequent HLH-1994 regimen. The expected 6-month event-free survival rate was 58.3±10.2%. No serious adverse effects were reported. Our study provides further support for the possibility of ruxolitinib targeted therapy for secondary HLH in children.
