Summary: This study aimed to determine the validity and threshold value of self-estimated intravaginal ejaculation latency time (PIELT) in the diagnosis of premature ejaculation (PE). The results showed that a PIELT of <= 3.5 minutes predicts PE, indicating the need to revise the taxonomy and definition of PE.

Summary: This study utilized nationally representative data to evaluate the extent and associations of disruptions to cancer treatment and care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings indicate that approximately one-third of patients experienced disruptions, with younger and female patients more likely to be affected. Patients experiencing disruptions also had higher rates of anxiety.

Summary: Delayed responses in experience sampling studies show significant decreases in positive affect and increases in negative affect as the delay increases. Participants without depression exhibit higher within-person variability in delayed answers and an initial strengthening in the relationships between affect and contextual stress, while participants with depression show the opposite pattern. Further research is needed to understand the qualitative differences between delayed and timely responses.

Summary: The study found that nearly one in five caregivers delayed seeking emergency department care for their sick or injured child due to fear of contracting COVID-19 in the hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors such as being a mother, younger caregiver, caring for a child with chronic illness, and concerns about lost work during the pandemic were independently associated with delaying emergency department presentation.

Summary: This study aimed to develop HA-based, RA-containing nanomicelles and investigate their effects on regeneration of the vaginal epithelium and AQP3 expression in a murine menopause model. After 4 weeks of treatment, the thickness of the vaginal mucosal epithelial layer and AQP3 expression was increased in the HA-C18-RA group compared with the HA-C18 vehicle group.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate kidney outcomes after laparoscopic adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism, finding that postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) was not directly correlated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Preoperative albuminuria may be an independent predictor of CKD progression in patients without preoperative CKD.

Summary: A temperature-modulated sensing strategy was proposed to identify and determine BTEX compounds. Highly effective identification of BTEX was achieved using linear discrimination and convolutional neural network analyses. Additionally, quantitative analysis of concentration was accomplished by establishing the relationship between concentration and response.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Co/NC/PAC electrode was prepared by compounding ZIF-67 with powder-activated carbon for the electrocatalytic treatment of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. The degradation efficiency of the four compounds reached 90.2-93.7% under optimal conditions, and the degradation order was pyridazine < pyrimidine < pyrazine < pyridine.

Summary: This study analyzes the properties of bauxite residue samples and explores the influence of bauxite ore origin, storage conditions, and storage time. The results show that the speciation of yttrium is related to the origin of bauxite ore, while no significant variation was observed with storage conditions or aging of the residues.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This review investigated and analyzed the distribution, composition, and abundance of heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in landfill. The results showed that heavy metals have lasting effects on ARGs, and complexes of heavy metals and organic matter are common in landfill. This study provides a new basis to better understand the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of ARGs in landfill.

Summary: Efficient and environmentally friendly porous hybrid adsorbent beads have been developed for the removal of arsenic from drinking water. The structural tuning of the adsorbents has been shown to have a significant impact on their adsorption performance, with high crystallinity leading to increased adsorption capacity and selectivity towards As5+.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.

Summary: Ocean depth affects microbial diversity, composition, and co-occurrence patterns of microplastic microbial communities. Deterministic processes dominate the assembly of mesopelagic plastisphere microbial communities, while stochastic processes shape the assembly of bathypelagic microbial communities. The relationships between microorganisms in the mesopelagic layer are more complex and stable, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota playing important roles.

Summary: Based on the efficiency of catalytic ozonation techniques in enhancing sludge dewaterability, this study investigated its effectiveness in simultaneous reduction of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes. The results showed that catalytic ozonation conditioning changed the distribution of antibiotics and achieved high degradation rates. It also significantly reduced the abundance of ARGs, inhibited horizontal gene transfer, and decreased the signal transduction of typical ARGs host bacteria.

Summary: This study utilized Mo powder and STPP to enhance the performance of the sodium percarbonate system in pollutant degradation. The presence of Mo and STPP resulted in a higher degradation rate of the model pollutant SMX, with low oxidant consumption. The system generated multiple active species through a series of chain reactions at different pH values, exhibiting excellent performance towards electron-rich pollutants. Furthermore, Mo demonstrated excellent stability and reusability.
