Effect of Laser Posterior Nasal Neurolysis for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To determine the safety and efficacy of laser ablation of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) for the treatment of chronic rhinitis. Methods This study was a single‐center, prospective, single‐blinded, randomized sham‐controlled trial. Patients with a 24‐h reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) ≧ 5, rhinorrhea ≧ 2, and congestion ≧

Stabilization of Pd Active Sites by Defective NaY Zeolite Framework for Enhanced Stability in Dimethyl Carbonate Synthesis

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A tailored‐defect strategy employing sequential high‐temperature calcination and acetylacetone treatment was developed to generate framework defects in NaY zeolite while preventing the formation of strong acid sites. These defects facilitate electron transfer from Pd to the zeolite framework and stabilize the Pd2+ active sites, thereby conferring ...
