Summary: This study reported the germicidal effect of 222 nm UVC and the critical role of bandpass filters in reducing the harmful effects of wavelengths outside of 222 nm on mammalian cells. Mice exposed to UVC emitted from a filtered lamp showed significantly lower levels of DNA damage compared to those exposed to UVC emitted from an unfiltered lamp.

Summary: The study found that microplastic fibers can cause intestinal damage and toxicity in zebrafish, with longer fibers producing more serious effects. Metabolomics analysis revealed that microplastic fibers can up-regulate glycerophospholipids metabolism, exacerbating oxidative damage and inflammation, while down-regulating fatty acyls metabolism related to nutritional deficiency.

Summary: Radiotherapy is commonly used for cancer treatment, and this study aimed to investigate the effects of melatonin on liver tissues exposed to radiation. Rats were divided into different groups and received radiation with or without melatonin treatment. Histological and biochemical analyses were performed on the liver tissues. The results showed that melatonin treatment attenuated the structural and immunoreactive changes caused by radiation, and it also decreased biochemical markers of liver damage. Administration of melatonin before radiation showed more beneficial effects. In conclusion, daily use of melatonin could mitigate radiation-induced damage in the liver.

Summary: This post-hoc analysis of the RADIANCE-HTN SOLO study found that predictors of response to renal denervation (RDN) included higher baseline daytime ambulatory diastolic blood pressure and use of antihypertensive medications, with orthostatic hypertension potentially predicting response. Obese females also appeared to have a better response to RDN in an interaction model.

Summary: This research investigates the impact of 1,25VitD3 on the regulatory T cells/Th17 axis and the expressions and concentrations of related cytokines in women with URSA. The results suggest that 1,25VitD3 plays a role in modulating immune responses by strengthening Tregs function and inhibiting inflammatory responses of Th17 cells, which may be beneficial for successful pregnancy outcomes.

Summary: Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are an important component of airborne particulate matter and may have adverse effects on respiratory health. This study found that IONPs interact with pulmonary surfactant, leading to reduced cellular uptake and increased cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies showed that IONPs react with intracellular hydrogen peroxide, generating hydroxyl radicals and causing oxidative stress, lipid accumulation, and inflammation.

Summary: Black adults in the United States have a higher incidence of peripheral artery disease and limb amputations compared to White adults. Racial differences exist in the incidence and outcomes of peripheral endovascular intervention (PVI). Black adults who undergo PVI are younger, more likely to be female, and have a higher burden of comorbidities. They are also more likely to undergo PVI for chronic limb-threatening ischemia. The association between Black race and adverse outcomes is driven by a higher burden of comorbidities. Early identification and aggressive management of risk factors and comorbidities are important in reducing racial disparities in peripheral artery disease and adverse events after PVI.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the transformation of tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone (TCBQ) under UV irradiation. The findings show that the first triplet state of TCBQ can react with bisulfide anion (HS-) to form primary dechlorination product (HS-TriCBQ). The addition of nucleophiles (OH- or HS-) to the hydroxyl or thiol group is the most efficient pathway for dechlorination, and electron transfer from HS- can generate hydrosulfide radical for the dechlorination of TCBQ.

Summary: In this study, a novel copper loaded nitrogen-rich mesoporous carbon nitride material was designed and synthesized as a highly efficient photocatalyst for the selective cleavage of inert C-C bonds of amines under blue light irradiation. With the use of benign oxidant oxygen, good to excellent yields were achieved for various functionalized amines at room temperature, including sluggish aliphatic amines. This method offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative for the direct oxidative cleavage of amines.
