Electro‐Oxidative Extraction of Methanol from Lignin Using a Three‐Dimensional Graphite Anode by Zichun Xiong, Kazuyo Kobayashi, Aki Miyawaki, Shinya Teranishi, Yoshiharu Sawada, Takashi Hibino

“…A graphite electrode fabricated in a sponge form provided sufficient reaction space for the lignin feedstock, efficiently generated active oxygen species from water, and considerably suppressed the overoxidation of methanol to carbon dioxide. As a result, the methanol yield reached approximately 70 % at a temperature of 75 °C, atmospheric pressure, and anode potential of +0.57 V. …”

Successful treatment of a keloid on the upper lip by trepanation and radiotherapy: a case report by Xianghui Li, Yong Wei, Zhuren Ruan, Gao Wei, Zhijian Yao

“…Traditional treatments, such as intralesional injections, laser therapy, and surgical excision, have shown limited efficacy and are associated with high recurrence rates.Materials and methods: In a recent case, a 19-year-old male with a keloid on the upper lip did not respond to local injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) or carbon dioxide ablative fractional resurfacing laser therapy.Results: A combined treatment approach involving trepanation and superficial radiotherapy successfully flattened the keloid tissue, with no recurrence observed during a 3-year follow-up period.Conclusions: This case underscores the potential efficiency and safety of combined therapeutic interventions and contributes valuable evidence towards the development of novel treatment strategies for keloids.…”
