Summary: Amyloid plaques in the cortex of patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease have been characterized into two types: fibrillary plaques with iron accumulation mainly in Fe2+ form, and nonfibrillary plaques with a mixture of beta-sheet and unordered structures where Fe3+ predominates over Fe2+. This distinction in plaque types and metal composition could play a key role in understanding the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Summary: This study developed a sensitive method to measure the metallic components of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and compared the results with different analysis methods. The concentrations of metallic components in personal PM2.5 samples were found to be significantly different from corresponding fixed-site samples. Personal sampling can reduce exposure misclassifications, and measuring metallic components is useful for exploring health risks and identifying sources of PM2.5.

Summary: X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful tool for elemental analysis, but it traditionally cannot quantify light elements. The use of scattering X-ray radiation is becoming popular in X-ray studies, with the trend being towards standard XRF instrumentation. This study explores the use of monochromatic radiation and varying incident angles to obtain physical and chemical information on plastic samples, utilizing machine learning techniques for regression modeling.

Summary: Electrocatalysis is crucial for advancing renewable energy technologies, and understanding the structure and reaction mechanisms of electrocatalysts at electrode-electrolyte interfaces is fundamental. In situ and operando techniques, such as operando synchrotron-based X-ray techniques and in situ atomic-scale scanning transmission electron microscopy, provide valuable insights into the interfacial structural and compositional changes under reaction conditions, aiding in the study of charge transfer kinetics and reaction mechanisms. The continuous development of these techniques will contribute significantly to establishing structure/composition-reactivity correlations of electrocatalysts at unprecedented atomic-scale and molecular levels under realistic, real-time reaction conditions.

Summary: Pollutants released from pharmaceutical, steel, paper, and battery industries into water cause irreparable damage to the biotic system by entering the natural ecosystems and human food chain. Monitoring and determining heavy metal levels in water are crucial for human beings. In this study, TXRF spectrometry technique was used to assess the contaminant levels in water samples from an industrial area. The elemental concentrations were compared to the guidelines from WHO and BIS, and water quality parameters were assessed. The results showed that some water samples were unfit for drinking with high levels of lead and other heavy metals.

Summary: Transition metals have essential roles in biological tissues, but some, like cadmium, can be highly toxic. Disturbances in metal balance caused by micronutrient deficiency, pollution or genetic factors can lead to malfunction and diseases. This study used synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy and mice with altered antioxidant enzyme functions to demonstrate the potential of SXRF as a powerful tool for studying biologically relevant metal balance in the pancreas and liver of mice models with disturbed glucose homeostasis.

Summary: The animal models of seizures and epilepsy are important for studying disease mechanisms and testing new therapies. Using FT-IR microspectroscopy, significant biomolecular anomalies were detected in electrically stimulated rats, including increased proteins, decreased cholesterol/esters and compounds with phosphate groups, and increased carbohydrates and carbonyl-containing compounds. These abnormalities appear to be related to lipid peroxidation and increased energy demand during postelectroshock seizures.

Summary: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a malignant brain tumor with limited treatment options. Animal models are commonly used to study the pathology of GBM and evaluate the efficacy and safety of therapies. In this study, synchrotron radiation-based X-ray fluorescence microscopy was used to investigate elemental changes in the rat brain with glioblastoma. The results showed that elemental changes were strongly correlated with the regions of tumor growth, providing insights into the pathogenesis and progression of GBM and potential biomarkers for its extension.

Summary: Transport is a significant source of environmental pollution, and microplastics released from tires are one of the most underestimated emissions. A study analyzing environmental samples found a large number of microplastic fragments in soil and road dust, with most of them originating from tires. The road dust samples contained more microplastics than the soil samples, and there was a noticeable difference in particle size between the two. This could be attributed to the distance of particle transportation and the degradation process in the soil.

Summary: Anti-seizure medications used during pregnancy may have an impact on the offspring's nervous system. The ketogenic diet (KD) may be an alternative therapy for pregnant women with seizures, but its risks during pregnancy are unknown and further investigation is needed. This study found that prenatal exposure to KD did not cause brain biochemical anomalies in 2 and 6-day-old rats, but abnormalities were observed in the 14-day-old rats, including increased levels of compounds containing carbonyl groups and decreased lipid content in the brain. These changes may be due to elevated exposure to ketone bodies and disturbance of lipid metabolism after prenatal exposure to KD.

Summary: This study investigated the transport of selenium through the soil-crop-human chain in regions with different selenium levels. It found that the residents' dietary selenium intake was related to the selenium content in soil, with one village within the WHO recommended intake range while the other village was at risk of selenium deficiency. There were significant positive correlations between residents' dietary selenium intake and the three selenium biomarkers.

Summary: C57BL/6 mice and BALB/c mice showed different expression profiles of selenoprotein P after a high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6 mice in the HFD group had higher body weight, fasting plasma glucose levels, and plasma selenoprotein P levels compared to the ND group. However, BALB/c mice did not show significant differences in fasting plasma selenoprotein P levels between the HFD and ND groups.

The results demonstrate that Vit E improves behavioral disorders, attenuates the loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons, and restores mitochondrial function. Additionally, the protective effect of Vit E may be associated with the upregulation of CHRM1 and KCNJ4 mRNA.

Summary: The study illustrates the changes in iodized salt usage, goiter rate, and median urinary iodine concentration in school-aged children in Chongqing over the past 21 years. Adequate iodized salt consumption can eliminate iodine deficiency disorders in children, but excessive iodine intake from salt can lead to high urinary iodine excretion and even goiter. Continuous monitoring and adjustment of iodine fortification levels in household table salt is crucial.

Summary: The zinc coordination complex ZnMD, synthesized in this study, showed promising effects in treating hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. It was more effective than the antihypertensive drug MD in reducing blood pressure and preventing myocardial hypertrophy. ZnMD also exhibited protective effects on the heart by reducing oxidative damage and regulating the expression of oxidative enzymes. These findings suggest that ZnMD has the potential to be developed as a therapeutic drug for hypertension and cardiac dysfunction.

Treatment with cerium nanoparticles or lanthanum causes a significant decrease in norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, accompanied by a significant increase in 5-hydroxyl indoleacetic acid levels. Moreover, cerium nanoparticles exhibit high activity in scavenging free radicals.
