Summary: A new type of phosphorus-rich organic-inorganic flame-retardant hybrid silica sol was prepared for coating finishing of polyester/cotton (T/C) fabric. The hybrid sepiolite-based silica sol improved the flame retardancy and mechanical properties of the fabric. The prepared silica sol maintained the fibrous structure of sepiolite, reducing damage to the fabric's mechanical properties during flame-retardant finishing.

Summary: In this study, yarn samples with different ratios of Tencel, cotton, polyester, and recycled polyester fibers were prepared through ring spinning. These yarns were then converted into knitted fabrics, and their mechanical and comfort properties were investigated. It was found that Tencel/cotton and virgin polyester/recycled polyester with blended ratios of 40/20 and 20/20, respectively, exhibited superior mechanical and comfort properties compared to other blends and a conventional cotton/polyester blend. Additionally, these blends offer the potential to reduce the consumption of unsustainable virgin polyester and cotton fibers by 60%.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
