Summary: A chronic toxicity test was conducted using Daphnia magna as the model organism to investigate the effects of four fragrance materials (MX, ADBI, HHCB, and MT). The study found that MX, ADBI, and HHCB had adverse effects on development and reproduction, while MT had no effect. Gene expression analysis showed that ADBI and MX significantly altered gene expression in juvenile D. magna, but HHCB did not. The mixture of the four fragrance materials showed effects at lower concentrations and increased gene expression, suggesting a possible additive or synergistic effect.

Summary: The salinization of freshwater systems is a common problem caused by human activities and climate change. It threatens freshwater biodiversity and resources, particularly affecting cladocerans at individual and population levels. Different-sized cladocerans have different sensitivities to salinization, with smaller species being more sensitive. Freshwater salinization may lead to the replacement of smaller, salt-intolerant cladocerans with larger, salt-tolerant ones, significantly impacting freshwater communities and ecosystems. Population levels of cladocerans are more susceptible to salinity stress than individual levels.

Summary: Many scientific studies have found a significant link between human intestinal microbiota, eating habits, and the development of chronic-degenerative diseases. The composition and function of microbiota can affect chronic inflammatory mechanisms. This paper focuses on the changes in the gut microbiota of MS patients, its implications for health and disease, and the variables that influence it. It also discusses the role of microbiota in modulating immune responses in both the intestine and the brain, as well as the potential of microbiota modulation as a therapeutic approach for MS. Additionally, a case study evaluates the significance of gastrointestinal pains indirectly related to dysbiosis and the willingness of MS patients to use probiotics to modulate gut microbiota.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease characterized by chronic inflammation and immune-driven demyelination of the central nervous system. Changes in gut microbiome driven by dietary habits may contribute to the increase in MS cases. This review explores the impact of diet on the development and course of MS by feeding the gut microbiome, discussing the role of nutrition, gut microbiota, and potential microbiome-targeted therapies.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of early-life arsenic exposure on mice. The results showed that arsenic ingested early in life is more readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, leading to higher oral bioavailability. Although there were differences in gut microbiota between weanling and adult mice, it did not significantly affect arsenic biotransformation or overall gut metabolite composition. The small intestine of weanling mice had more defined intestinal villi, providing a greater surface area for arsenic absorption.

Summary: This study investigated how Daphnia transmit predation risk information to their offspring through a prolonged experiment. The results showed that the offspring's inducible defensive traits were mainly determined by their own environment rather than their mothers' experience. Moreover, as the mothers produced more broods of offspring, the inducible defensive traits of the offspring gradually increased and then decreased.

Summary: Predation risk and crowding can induce sexual reproduction in Daphnia. This study investigated whether sexual reproduction is caused directly by fish kairomones or indirectly through kairomone-induced crowding. The results showed that population density, rather than fish kairomone, was the significant factor promoting sexual reproduction in Daphnia populations.

Summary: In eutrophic freshwaters, Microcystis becomes dominant in phytoplankton communities due to its unique traits and environmental factors. Colony morphology protects it from grazing and unicellular Microcystis has a competitive advantage in nutrient absorption and toxin production. However, its direct competition with green algae without grazing pressure shows that Scenedesmus eventually outcompetes Microcystis. Microcystins inhibit the growth of green algae but stimulate Microcystis, and phosphorus limitation enhances microcystin production. The role of colonies and microcystins in the competition between Microcystis and other phytoplankton is clarified.

Summary: The rising concentration of microplastics and nanoparticles in marine environments can have joint harmful effects on zooplankton. This study focused on the effects of nano-sized microplastics and ZnO nanoparticles on the life history parameters and population dynamics of rotifers. The results showed that increasing concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles and microplastics led to prolonged maturation time and decreased offspring in rotifers, with significant interaction between the two pollutants. At the population level, ZnO nanoparticles exacerbated the delayed effect of microplastics on the elimination of harmful algae by rotifers. This study provides important insights into the comprehensive impact of mixed pollutants on marine ecosystems.

Summary: Polystyrene microplastics are found widely in freshwater ecosystems and have significant impacts on freshwater organisms. Stable interspecific relationships play a crucial role in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated the effects of polystyrene microplastics on the predator-induced defenses of Daphnia magna, a zooplankton, exposed to predation risks from Rhodeus ocellatus, a zooplanktivorous fish. Results showed that polystyrene microplastics weakened the predator-induced defenses of D. magna, including morphology, reproduction, and behavior.

Summary: This study investigated the response of the mixotrophic organism Ochromonas to cadmium exposure and its capacity to remove cadmium. The results showed that mixotrophic Ochromonas enhanced photosynthetic performances and resistance to cadmium. Transcriptomic analyses revealed upregulated genes related to photosynthesis, ATP production, ECM components, and scavenging of reactive oxygen species and damaged organelles. Approximately 70% of cadmium was removed by mixotrophic Ochromonas, benefiting from upregulated genes associated with the transport of metal ions.

Summary: This study used Daphnia pulex as a model organism to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying anti-predation defensive responses to cyanobacterial stress. The researchers found that Daphnia pulex developed adaptive morphological and reproductive responses to fish kairomone, but at a cost of decreased somatic growth rate. Transcriptome analysis revealed the involvement of neuronal signals, cuticle development, and metabolic processes in these responses. This work advances our understanding of zooplankton-fish coevolution dynamics under eutrophic conditions.

This study examined the effects of predation risk signals and population crowding signals on the hatching of cladoceran resting eggs and the defensive traits of hatched offspring. The results showed that the hatching time of resting eggs was delayed and the body length of offspring increased at birth but decreased at first reproduction in response to these signals.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
