A New Method for the Selective Removal of Cadmium and Zinc Ions from Aqueous Solution by Modified Clinoptilolite by Saeed Hajialigol, M.A. Taher, A. Malekpour

“…Although clinoptilolite and its surfactant-modified form were not capable of the selective adsorption of the cations studied, on the basis of the results obtained it was possible to selectively remove Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution by modified clinoptilolite using a two-step process, i.e. initial treatment with BDTA followed by treatment with neothorin.…”

Research progress of Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy in downstaging and conversion of hepatocellular carcinoma by Licong LIANG, Yuchan LIANG, Wensou HUANG, Yongjian GUO, Jingjun HUANG, Liteng LIN, Mingyue CAI, Kangshun ZHU

“…Liver resection and liver transplantation are the primary radical treatments for HCC, although most patients are no longer able to meet the surgical requirements at initial diagnosis. Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (90Y-SIRT) has the advantages of shrinking tumors, enlarging residual liver, regressing portal vein tumor thrombus and improving the quality of life, which can be used for conversion, downstaging and bridging therapy for HCC before surgical treatment, enabling patients regain the chance of radical treatment and reducing the postoperative recurrence rate. …”
