Fluoride contamination in water environment due to natural and artificial activities has been recognized as one of the major problems worldwide. Developing effective and robust technologies for excess fluoride removal from water environment becomes highly important. Among the commonly used treatment technologies applied for fluoride removal, adsorption technique has been explored widely and offers a highly efficient simple and low-cost process for fluoride removal from water. This review reports the recent developments in fluoride removal from water environment by adsorption methods. Studies on fluoride removal from aqueous solutions using various carbon materials are reviewed. It is evident that various adsorbents with high fluoride removal capacity have been developed, however, there is still an urgent need to transfer the removal process to industrial scale. Regeneration studies need to be performed in more extent to recover the adsorbent in field conditions, enhancing the economic feasibility of the process. Based on the review, four technical strategies of adsorption method including nano-surface effect, structural memory effect, anti-competitive adsorption and ionic sieve effect can be proposed. The design of adsorbents through these four strategies can greatly improve the removal efficiency of fluoride in water and provide guidance for the development of new efficient methods for fluoride removal in the future.

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic pathogenic fungus that often causes mucosal and systemic infections. Several pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), have been implicated in the host recognition of C. albicans. These PRRs recognize the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of C. albicans to activate innate immune cells, thereby rapidly inducing various inflammatory responses by activating intracellular signaling cascades. Herbal medicine and its active components deserve priority development due to their low toxicity and high antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activities. This review discussed the activities of herbal compounds against C. albicans and their related mechanisms, especially their regulatory role on innate immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs) implicated in C. albicans infections. Our work aims to find new therapeutic drugs and targets to prevent and treat diseases caused by C. albicans infection with the mechanisms by which this fungus interacts with the innate immune response.
