Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the efficiency and mechanism of chilling tolerance induced by transient oxidative shock with H2O2 pretreatment in Phalaenopsis seedlings, finding that the pretreatment reduced chilling injury. Different concentrations and frequencies of H2O2 pretreatment had varying effects on chilling tolerance and plant morphology. The findings suggest that the exogenous H2O2-induced chilling tolerance in Phalaenopsis seedlings may involve the glutathione-related oxidant defense system.

Summary: The main damage in slices of full ripe tomatoes is more related to cutting than chilling injury due to storage temperatures, with differences related to the genotype. Slicing enhances membrane catabolism, ethylene production, and enzyme activity of phospholipases with a significant genotype effect.

Summary: The study investigated the integrated influence of pollutant concentrations on phytoremediation efficiency by aquatic macrophytes. Results showed that COD removal efficiency increased with pollutant concentration, while TN, NH4+-N and TP purification efficiencies were inhibited at high concentration levels. Physiological responses in submerged macrophytes were explored to estimate the correlation between them and pollutant concentrations, with oxidative stress proved by higher MDA content. Antioxidant enzyme responses were induced to maintain plant health, but were inhibited in high pollutant concentration levels, leading to unhealthy symptoms in plants. The study concludes that excessive concentrations of organics and nutrients may inhibit adaptive physiological regulations and reduce phytoremediation efficiency.

Summary: Oxidative stress is linked to various diseases, and studies have shown that raspberry ketone exhibits antioxidant properties by increasing total antioxidant capacity, upregulating antioxidant enzymes, and improving lipid peroxidation. Further clinical studies are needed to verify its value as an effective antioxidant and therapeutic agent.

Summary: This study analyzed the accumulation of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its clinicopathological significance. The results showed that relatively low levels of 4-HNE accumulation were an independent prognostic predictor in HCC tissues. Additionally, the study found that the SMARCA4 gene regulates 4-HNE metabolism in HCC, suggesting that targeting SMARCA4 could be a new therapeutic strategy for HCC.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of edible coatings such as chitosan, chitosan nanoparticles, and chitosan nanoparticles loaded with thyme volatile oil on preserving the quality of sweet basil leaves. Results showed that all coatings significantly extended the shelf life of basil leaves and reduced weight loss. Coatings with thyme volatile oil nanoparticles exhibited the highest shelf life extension and better preservation of photosynthetic pigments and volatile oil content. Additionally, coated leaves showed lower oxidative damage and maintained membrane functions, with increased activities of antioxidant enzymes.

Summary: Marine pollution from anthropogenic sources poses a growing problem for natural species. Sharks, being top predators and consuming polluted animals, are at risk of water contamination and subsequent bioaccumulation and biomagnification. The present study investigated the accumulation of trace elements and their potential impact on oxidative processes in the muscle of the lesser spotted dogfish. The results indicated that trace element accumulation in sharks may disrupt oxidant and antioxidant processes, with significant implications for their physiology and health.

Summary: The study evaluated the stress response in Vigna radiata caused by metribuzin and explored the ameliorative role of exogenous application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) by assessing important biochemical and yield parameters. The results showed that metribuzin treatment resulted in increased lipid peroxidation and decreased chlorophyll and carotenoid contents as well as yield parameters in V. radiata plants. However, proline accumulation and activity of antioxidant enzymes were induced in metribuzin-treated plants. Exogenous application of GA, IAA, and SA significantly reduced lipid peroxidation and increased contents of photosynthetic pigments, proline, and antioxidant enzymes, thereby improving yield parameters. Among the three exogenously applied PGRs, SA exhibited the best ameliorative response during metribuzin stress, while the combined use of all PGRs greatly improved the biochemical and yield parameters of plants.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the protective role of vitamin E in improving cardiotoxicity induced by cyclophosphamide in rats. The results showed that vitamin E could attenuate the elevation of cardiac markers, increase in lipid profiles, reduction in antioxidant enzyme activities, and increase in lipid peroxidation. In addition, vitamin E was found to improve the histopathological alterations caused by cyclophosphamide.

Summary: Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms are a global issue that negatively impacts the aquatic environment and human health. This study discovered that the bacterium Stenotrophomonas sp. KT48 exhibited strong algicidal activity against Microcystis aeruginosa, a type of cyanobacteria. The algicidal activity was mainly attributed to direct attack on M. aeruginosa cells, rather than the excretion of algicides. Additionally, the study found that the bacterium increased the production of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation in the algal cells, leading to inhibition of the antioxidant system. These findings provide insights into the potential use of strain KT48 as a bacterial agent for the control of cyanobacterial blooms.

Summary: The study showed that the foliar spray of chitosan lactate can enhance the accumulation of certain important compounds in herbal plants. For basil, a concentration of 100 mg/L of ChL increased the content of rosmarinic acid, while for lemon balm, both 100 mg/L and 500 mg/L of ChL increased the accumulation of certain phenolics and anthocyanins.

Summary: Different plant species have varying effects on the biological parameters of Tetranychus urticae and plant physiology, leading to different levels of oxidative stress. Among them, Salvia officinalis shows resistance to T. urticae, reducing the mite's demographic parameters. Ocimum basilicum, on the other hand, appears to be a suitable host for T. urticae development and increase in number.
