Synergistic effects of cerium-containing bioactive glasses and apoptotic extracellular vesicles alleviate bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaw

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are commonly used to treat skeletal diseases. However, long-term use of BPs can lead to BP-related jaw bone necrosis (BRONJ), particularly in patients undergoing tooth extraction surgery. The treatment of BRONJ remains challenging due to the local inflammatory microenvironment. To address this issue, we developed...

Integrating hydrologic modeling and satellite remote sensing to assess the performance of sprinkler irrigation

Improving irrigation water management is a key concern for the agricultural sector, and it requires extensive and comprehensive tools that provide a complete knowledge of crop water use and requirements. This study presents a novel methodology to explicitly estimate daily gross and net crop water requirements, actual crop water use, and...

Research on preparation and properties of C-S-H /PEG1000 phase change composite

In this paper, composite material C-S-H/PEG1000 was prepared by multi-scale porous material C-S-H as support and phase change material (PCM) PEG1000 by melt blending, so that it can reduce hydration heat of cementitious system utilizing the characteristics of releasing and storing energy of PCM. TEM, IR, DSC-Tg, BET, MIP and various other...
