Summary: This study investigated the effects of continuous 24-hour exposure to mobile communication electromagnetic fields on oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation in the liver of rat fetuses. The results showed that exposure to electromagnetic radiation increased oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation, but before a sensitive developmental stage, the mother may provide protection for the embryos.

Summary: The study found that cell phone waves have detrimental effects on sperm, leading to decreased viability and motility, increased apoptosis and DNA fragmentation. Other parameters like morphology, chromatin abnormality, and maturity showed no significant difference between the control and case groups. It is recommended to keep cell phones away from the pelvis as much as possible.

Summary: The mechanisms of how atmospheric electromagnetic phenomena act at the molecular and cellular level are explored, including the frequency range, magnetic field strength, and electric field strength. By reviewing the bioeffects of weak electric and magnetic fields and speculating on the biological effects linked to lightning or pyroelectricity, the importance of atmospheric electric fields in evolution is considered.

Summary: This study examined children's exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) in Japan and found that it was lower than in Europe. The most significant contributor to total exposure was the downlink signals from mobile phone base stations, while Wireless LAN and digital TV had minimal impact. Urban residence was consistently associated with increased exposure in four frequency bands. There was also a link between RF-EMF exposure and inattention/hyperactivity symptoms in children.

Summary: Researchers investigated the association between radiofrequency exposure from mobile-phone base stations (MPBSs) and self-reported non-specific and insomnia-like symptoms among people living in France. The study found no link between RF-EMF exposure from MPBSs and non-specific or insomnia-like symptoms in the overall population, but observed a positive association with insomnia-like symptoms among individuals reporting environmental concerns. Further studies are needed to explore this relationship.

Summary: Mobile telecommunications technologies have become an essential part of people's lives globally, impacting personal and social interactions, as well as serving as a valuable work tool. This study investigated the effect of a 900 MHz electromagnetic field on the locomotor behavior of female Ixodes ricinus ticks under laboratory conditions. The results showed that there were no differences in preference for irradiated and shielded areas in one test setup, while in another setup, the exposed part had significantly longer activity time and trajectory.

Summary: In response to concerns about the potential health impacts of RF-EMF, the French National Frequency Agency (ANFR) published a protocol for standardized in-situ measurements. Spot measurements conducted in urban areas near mobile-phone base stations (MPBS) found RF-EMF exposure was mainly from MPBS, and influenced by factors such as window position, antenna distance, and apartment floor. PEM surveys showed higher exposure during outings and day time, with a strong correlation between spot and PEM measurements.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of mobile phone RF-EMR on mouse embryo development and genetic toxicity. Results showed that exposure to RF-EMR led to delayed cleavage development and a longer time to reach the blastocyst stage. It also caused changes in the transcript levels of oxidative stress associated genes.

Summary: Rapid population aging has led to a global burden of late-life diseases, with aging being a major risk factor for age-related diseases and closely related to both genotype and external factors. Exposure to 10 Hz pulsed magnetic fields for 2 weeks induced DNA damage in cellular senescence, highlighting the potential impact of electromagnetic fields on aging.

Summary: This study investigated the neuronal effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from mobile phones on neonatal rat cortical neurons and the protective role of hispolon (HIS) and its derivatives. The results showed that pyrazole derivatives reduced apoptosis in EMR-exposed neurons by modulating the levels of pro and anti-apoptotic genes and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels via mitochondrial damage. The pyrazole compounds exhibited antioxidative and anti-apoptotic properties, suggesting their potential as lead compounds for developing neuroprotective formulations.

Summary: This study investigates the negative effects of x-ray radiation on the pituitary gland and the potential protective effects of the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonist dexmedetomidine. The results show that x-ray irradiation causes necrosis and damage to the pituitary gland, while dexmedetomidine treatment reduces necrotic cells and protects against apoptosis. These findings suggest that dexmedetomidine may be useful in preventing radiation-induced pituitary damage.

Summary: This study investigates the protective role of Hispidulin on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in rats. Rats were divided into three groups: control, ARDS, ARDS+ Hispidulin. The ARDS models were established by injecting rats with oleic acid. Hispidulin treatment resulted in a significant decrease in inflammatory cytokine levels, apoptosis, and ACE activity, suggesting a protective effect against ARDS.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the potential use of poppy seed oil as a main lipid source in common carp diets. Five different experimental diets with various proportions of fish oil and poppy seed oil were provided to common carp for 90 days. The results showed that feeding carp with diets consisting completely of poppy seed oil resulted in significantly greater growth and feed utilization performance, without negative effects on hematological or liver pathology.

Summary: The main hypothesis of this study is that paeoniflorin can inhibit cellular processes such as oxidative stress and inflammation. The protective effects of paeoniflorin on rat model of ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury were investigated by measuring oxidative stress and inflammatory process parameters. The results suggest that paeoniflorin has a potential dose-dependent protective effect on ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury, as it improved related parameters and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of flavonoid osajin (OSJ) on liver damage caused by sepsis. The results showed that sepsis induced elevated lipid peroxidation level and catalase activity and decreased glutathione level and superoxide dismutase activity in hepatic tissues. However, administration of OSJ significantly reduced lipid peroxidation level and increased glutathione level and superoxide dismutase activity. Furthermore, OSJ also reduced the expression of interleukin-33 and caspase-3 and improved histopathological integrity. In conclusion, OSJ has a hepatoprotective effect against sepsis-induced liver injury.
