Study of Ultrasound-Assisted Low-Pressure Closed Acid Digestion Method for Trace Element Determination in Rock Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry by Xijuan Tan, Yunxiu Ren, Ting Liang, Denghong Wang

“…By using 1.5 mL of a binary acid mixture of HNO₃–HF with a ratio of 2:1, rock powder samples of 50 mg were completely decomposed in 12 h at 140 °C after 4 h of ultrasonic treatment with or without pressure relief procedure. The element extraction efficiency of this method was evaluated via the yielded relative errors (REs) of the trace elements in a series of geological standard reference materials (SRMs) with compositions from basic to acidic. …”

Biologics for eosinophilic oesophagitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Beibei Zeng, Doudou Jia, Shengen Li, Xuna Liu, Boxu Zhu, Yanqi Zhang, Yan Zhuang, Fei Dai

“…Key outcomes of this meta-analysis include the following: Anti-IL-5 biologics exhibited statistically significant benefits in histological remission (RR 2.03 [CI 1.45–2.85]; p < 0.0001) compared to the placebo, but there was no significant difference in symptom relief (RR 1.06 [CI 0.88 to 1.28]; p = 0.53); anti-IL-4/13 biologics had significant effects on histologic improvement (RR 10.48 [CI 5.54–19.82]; p < 0.00001) and symptom related score reduction (RR 1.44 [CI 1.08–1.93]; p = 0.01), with a better outcome for endoscopic remission than with placebo (SMD–1.06 [CI–1.26–0.86], p < 0.00001); no statistically significant differences in adverse effects were observed between the intervention and control groups.Conclusions Our findings suggest that the biologics currently being investigated are considered safe and effective treatments for EoE, while their efficiency varies. …”
