Abstract
Small-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (SCNECs) of the female genital tract are rare and aggressive tumors that are characterized by a high rate of recurrence and poor prognosis. They can arise from various sites within the female genital tract, including the cervix, endometrium, ovary, fallopian tube, vagina, and vulva. They are composed of cells with neuroendocrine features, such as the ability to produce and secrete hormones and peptides, and a high mitotic rate. Immunohistochemical staining for neuroendocrine markers, such as chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and CD56, can aid in the diagnosis of these tumors. This article provides an overview of the epidemiology, etiology, and risk factors associated with these tumors, as well as their clinical presentation, cellular characteristics, diagnosis, and finally the current treatment options for SCNECs, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, alone or in combination.

Abstract
In this study for the very first time, zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP) was loaded into MIL-101 (Zn[TPP]@MIL-101) to perform an adsorptive and photocatalytic dye removal. The physicochemical attributes of the catalyst were thoroughly determined by the usage of XRD, FTIR, FESEM, BET, UV-vis, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The obtained XRD pattern exhibited the phase purity of MIL-101 and its structural stability. The solid-phase diameter of the catalyst was observed to be ~ 270.76 ± 119.95 nm, while its gas adsorption data was indicative of a decrease in the specific surface area after the loading of ZnTPP. The ICP analysis displayed the amount of encapsulated Zn[TPP] (~ 17%) in MIL-101. The UV-vis confirmed the presence of Zn[TPP] in MIL-101 with the lack of any interferences or overlaps with the λmax of methylene blue (MB) with the support. The dye removal of MB was investigated under dark conditions (adsorption) and UV light (photodegradation). The observed adsorption under dark conditions using Zn[TPP]@MIL-101 (99.27% yield) demonstrated a superior dye removal in comparison to the cases of photodegradation of MB by MIL-101 and Zn[TPP]@MIL-101 or adsorption by MIL-101. In conformity to the gathered results, [ZnTPP] was able to increase the adsorption capacity at pH = 7 at room temperature.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Studies investigating the effect of social mobility on mortality in Sweden have used socioeconomic position (SEP) at only two time points and traditional methodological approaches. Our recent study has used SEP at four time points, but not employed latent class analyses when investigating the relationship between SEP trajectories and mortality in later life.
Methods
A cohort of 14,192 live births at Uppsala University Hospital between 1915-1929, of whom 97% were traced through parish records until routine registers became available in the 1960s. 5729 men and 5607 women were alive and living in Sweden in 1980. SEP was measured as social class of the head of household: at birth, in childhood (age 10, +/- five years), in adulthood (age 30-45, in the 1960 Census), and in later life (age 50-65, in the 1980 Census). Latent class analysis was employed to identify social class trajectories and Cox proportional hazard models used to estimate all-cause and cause-specific mortality (data from Causes of Death Register).
Results
Compared to men and women with stable high SEP trajectories, we found a higher risk of death from circulatory disease among men with stable low (HR 1.56, 95%CI 1.29-1.87), stable middle (HR 1.28, 95%CI 1.06-1.55) and upwardly mobile from low (HR 1.35, 95%CI 1.10-1.66) SEP trajectories, as well as in women with stable low or mobile from low to middle SEP trajectory (HR 1.27, 95%CI 1.02-1.59). SEP trajectories and total mortality showed similar, albeit, weaker associations in both genders. SEP trajectories were gender-specific and associations of SEP trajectories with circulatory disease mortality tended to be weaker in women.
Conclusions
Men's and women's socioeconomic position during childhood and over the life course affect their risk of late life all-cause mortality, and death from circulatory disease in particular. Improvements in social conditions at early stages of the life course are likely to contribute to reducing mortality at old age.
Key messages
Men’s and women’s socio-economic position during childhood and over the life course affect their risk of late life all-cause mortality and mortality from circulatory disease in particular. Trajectories of socioeconomic position across life course appear to be related to cause specific and total mortality in a gender specific pattern.

Abstract
Background: Dried fruit is one of the main sources of sulphur dioxide (SO2) exposure. The major goal of the current study was to determine SO2 concentration in some widely consumed dried fruits in Hamadan, Iran. In addition, an estimate of sulphite intake was made through the aforementioned dried fruit.
Methods: Totally, 126 dried fruit samples were randomly collected from local market in Hamadan, Iran. The sulfur dioxide, moisture contents, and pH of dried fruit samples were measured by iodometric titration, gravimetric method, and pH meter, respectively. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software.
Results: The mean sulphite residue in raisin, sultana, half-dried apricot, whole-dried apricot, dried prune, peach fruit leather, and apricot fruit leather was 236.49±231.34, 485.84±217.55, 1204.00±750.21, 2257.78±1406.63, 597.32±401.82, 84.74±109.22, and 38.28±32.40 mg/kg, respectively. Eleven out of 18 (61.11%) whole-dried apricot samples and 3 out of 18 (16.66%) half-dried apricot samples had unacceptable level of sulphite. The moisture contents and pH of all dried fruit were at an acceptable level. The amount of daily sulphite exposure through the consumption of dried fruits for preschool children, adult females, and adult males were 0.53, 0.35, and 0.30 mg/kg body weight/day, respectively.
Conclusion: As the intake of sulphite through the dried fruit in Iran was lower than acceptable daily intake, it appears that the content of this food preservative in dried fruits consumed in Iran has no serious risk for Iranian consumers. However, consumers should be advised to avoid excessive consumption of dried fruits, especially whole-dried apricot.

Abstract
Removal of 2-chlorophenol by ultrasonic waves (sonolysis), inorganic catalyst, and a combination of the two processes was tested and compared with each technique. In sonolysis, 2-chlorophenol mostly degraded indirectly in the bulk of solution by the radicals produced in the cavitation process. In catalyst treatment, the removal was performed in the presence of Al2O3, TiO2 and CuO. The highest removal was achieved in the presence of TiO2 for this pollutant. In the combined method an enhancement was observed for the removal of 2-chlorophenol. This could be attributed primarily to the continuous cleaning and chemical activation of the catalyst by acoustic cavitation. The mass transfer between the liquid phase and the catalyst and also the surface area of the catalyst are accelerated by the ultrasonic waves. The removal of 2-chlorophenol was performed under different intensities of irradiation, temperatures and quantities of catalyst. Some experiments were conducted in the presence of a Fenton reagent. In kinetic point of view, the removal of pollutant showed a pseudo-first order behavior. The combined method had a higher rate coefficient than sonolysis and catalyst treatment individually. Under some conditions, the presence of ultrasound has increased the rate coefficient of removal to about 10 times that in the absence of ultrasound.
