An evolutionary model and classification scheme for nephrite jade based on veining, fabric development, and the role of dissolution–precipitation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Although nephrite jade has been collected and treasured since the Stone Age, we lack a clear understanding of how it forms during deformation and metasomatism in shear zones.

Prediction of pneumoconiosis by serum and urinary biomarkers in workers exposed to asbestos-contaminated minerals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Workers processing nephrite, antigorite, or talc may be exposed to paragenetic asbestos minerals. An effective screening method for pneumoconiosis in workers exposed to asbestos-contaminated minerals is still lacking.

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2020 Nephritic syndrome is a constellation of hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and in some cases acute kidney injury and fluid retention characteristic of acute glomerulonephritis. Infection-related glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated ...

Progress on the nephrite sources of jade artifacts in ancient China from the perspective of isotopes
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The use of isotopes is crucial for understanding the origin of jade/nephrite. This article first contrasts recent studies on the radioisotopes and stable isotopes of contemporary nephrite deposits in China, Baikal region, and South Korean Peninsula.
