    Abstract Background: Superficial lymphatic malformation (SLM) is a congenital disorder of the lymphatic channels. It usually appears as clusters of vesicles filled with lymphatic fluid and blood on the skin that resemble frogspawn, making it difficult to distinguish from haemangiomas, angiokeratomas, and pyogenic granulomas. Although pathological results have diagnostic values, the significance of noninvasive examination in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis is also worth exploring.
    Materials and methods: A 24-year-old female presented with a history of multiple asymptomatic, pink lesions located on the chest since age 10. Histopathological examination was performed, and results informed the diagnosis of SLM. Lesions were detected by dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM).
    Results: Dermoscopy (polarized, 30×) revealed multiple yellowish-red lacunae in a light red background that were separated by pale septa and "hypopyon sign" was observed. RCM displayed a honeycomb pattern and multiple dark cavities in the upper dermal layers separated by thin septa with a few hypo-refractile cells at the periphery that demonstrated slow fluid flow via dynamic scanning.
    Conclusion: We described a case of SLM detected by dermoscopy and RCM. Dermoscopic and RCM features may provide a potentially powerful, noninvasive instrument for the recognition and differentiation of SLM.

    Abstract The α-1 antitrypsin Z-mutant protein (ATZ) is the primary cause of α-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). Studying the ubiquitination modification and degradation of ATZ protein is importance for developing treatments for AATD. STUB1 is an important E3 ubiquitin ligase that regulates ubiquitination modification of various proteins. However, whether STUB1 in involved in the ubiquitination modification of ATZ has not been fully elucidated. In this study, the ATZ and STUB1 coding genes were first cloned into the pET28a plasmid, constructing 2 protein expression plasmids. The recombinant plasmids were then transferred into the

    Abstract Peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based Fenton-like reactions are promising advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to degrade recalcitrant organic water pollutants. Current research predominantly focuses on augmenting the generation of reactive species (e.g., surface-activated PDS complexes (PDS*) to improve treatment efficiency, but overlooks the potential benefits of enhancing the reactivity of these species. Here, we enhanced PDS* generation and reactivity by incorporating Zn into CuO catalyst lattice, which resulted in 99% degradation of 4-chlorophenol within only 10 min. Zn increased PDS* generation by nearly doubling PDS adsorption while maintaining similar PDS to PDS* conversion efficiency, and induced higher PDS* reactivity than the common catalyst CuO, as indicated by a 4.1-fold larger slope between adsorbed PDS and open circuit potential of a catalytic electrode. Cu-O-Zn formation upshifts the d-band center of Cu sites and lowers the energy barrier for PDS adsorption and sulfate desorption, resulting in enhanced PDS* generation and reactivity. Overall, this study informs strategies to enhance PDS* reactivity and design highly active catalysts for efficient AOPs.

    Abstract Adding organics in the process of geopolymer synthesis can combine the functional groups of organics with the three-dimensional structure of geopolymer, thus changing the properties of geopolymer such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and acid resistance. In this work, excellent mechanical properties and acid resistance of metakaolin-blast furnance slag (Mk-BFS)-based geopolymer were synthesized by the incorporation of chitosan. The formation of sodium-alumino-silicate-hydrate (N-A-S-H) gel and calium-alumino-silicate-hydrate (C-A-S-H) gel in geopolymerization were characterized by

    Abstract Coexistence of the skin manifestations of systemic sclerosis and psoriasis is rare. The link between systemic sclerosis and psoriasis has been poorly investigated. We report a case of a 70-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis and psoriasis vulgaris and was treated with oral azathioprine (50 mg/d) and prednisolone (10 mg/d), topical corticosteroids, and calcipotriols. The erythema and plaques almost disappeared after 1 week, and the symptoms of discoloration in cold, regurgitation, and dysphagia abated after 3 months.

    Abstract Geopolymers show great potential in complex wastewater treatment to improve water quality. In this work, general geopolymers, porous geopolymers and geopolymer microspheres were prepared by the suspension curing method using three solid waste products, coal gangue, fly ash and blast furnace slag. The microstructure, morphology and surface functional groups of the geopolymers were studied by SEM, XRD, XRF, MIP, FTIR and XPS. It was found that the geopolymers possess good adsorption capacities for both organic and inorganic pollutants. With methylene blue and potassium dichromate as the representative pollutants, in order to obtain the best removal rate, the effects of the adsorbent type, dosage of adsorbent, concentration of methylene blue and potassium dichromate and pH on the adsorption process were studied in detail. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency of the geopolymers for methylene blue and potassium dichromate was in the order of general geopolymers < porous geopolymers < geopolymer microspheres, and the removal rates were up to 94.56% and 79.46%, respectively. Additionally, the competitive adsorption of methylene blue and potassium dichromate in a binary system was also studied. The mechanism study showed that the adsorption of methylene blue was mainly through pore diffusion, hydrogen bond formation and electrostatic adsorption, and the adsorption of potassium dichromate was mainly through pore diffusion and redox reaction. These findings demonstrate the potential of geopolymer microspheres in adsorbing organic and inorganic pollutants, and, through five cycles of experiments, it is demonstrated that MGP exhibits excellent recyclability.

    Abstract Background: Sebaceous gland hyperplasia (SGH) is a benign cutaneous proliferation of the sebaceous glands that are mostly present on the face or the neck of older adults. They typically appear as single or multiple soft umbilicated papules; however, in challenging cases, it can be difficult to distinguish them from trichoepitheliomas, base cell carcinomas, or other tumors. Although pathological results have diagnostic value, the significance of non-invasive examinations in diagnosis and differential diagnosis is also worth exploring.
    Objectives: This study aimed to describe the dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of SGH.
    Methods: A total of 31 patients diagnosed with SGH, according to clinical and histopathological standards, were examined using dermoscopy and RCM between March 2018 and January 2022.
    Results: Dermoscopically, lesions revealed a yellowish-red background and a faint-yellow background in 25 (80.65%) and six cases (19.35%), respectively. White-yellowish lobulated structures in the center of the lesion were present in 31 patients (100%) and umbilications in 19 patients (61.29%). Crown vessels at the periphery of the lesions were observed in 11 patients (35.48%), whereas irregular linear vessels were observed on the surface of the lesions in 18 patients (58.06%). Under RCM, all lesions presented a honeycomb pattern in the epidermis and the typical morulae-shaped sebaceous lobules in the dermis. A dilated follicular infundibulum was observed in 15 patients (48.39%) and dilated vessels in 26 patients (83.87%).
    Conclusion: Dermoscopy and RCM enabled us to describe the imaging features of SGH. Combining these two useful tools provides a non-invasive basis for accurate clinical diagnosis.
