Summary: Recent studies have shown that the concentration of bisphenol F (BPF) in water has dramatically increased, raising concerns about its adverse effects on aquatic organisms and humans. This study conducted acute toxic exposure and developmental exposure experiments using Chinese medaka, and found that BPF at a concentration of 2000 ng/L significantly affected the development of Chinese medaka and caused endocrine-related abnormalities in the transcriptional network of genes.

Summary: Neural stem cells in the murine subventricular zone (SVZ) reactivate during postnatal development to generate neurons and glia throughout adulthood. We previously demonstrated that a postnatal thyroid hormone (TH) peak orchestrates this remodelling, rendering this process vulnerable to endocrine disruption. In this study, we exposed mice to low doses of BPF, a suspected TH-disruptor, and found that it disrupted SVZ remodelling and decreased adult neuron and oligodendroglia output. These findings highlight the potential harm of alternative bisphenol compounds for human fetal brain development.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of short-term dietary exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) on femoral morphology, metabolism, mineral content, and biomechanical behavior in rams aged 9-12 months. The results showed that BPA had no significant effects on most of the parameters studied, except for decreased manganese and increased copper content in the femurs of BPA-exposed rams. These findings indicate that a 2-month, low-dose exposure to BPA did not affect the histomorphology, metabolism, and biomechanical behavior of femurs in growing rams, but it did affect the composition of microelements, which could have long-term effects on bone.

Summary: DDT is a persistent organic pollutant that affects the development and function of rat adrenal zona glomerulosa, with low-dose exposure leading to slower development and lower functional activity, as well as increased expression of Oct4. The decrease in Oct4 expressing cells is associated with accelerated growth and restoration of hormone production in DDT-exposed rats.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the toxicity of BPA and/or DEHP on the central nervous system and neuroendocrine system in Sprague-Dawley rats during prenatal and lactational periods. The results showed that early-life exposure to these chemicals caused significant changes in lipid peroxidation, neurotransmitter levels, and apoptosis in the hippocampus. This suggests that alterations in oxidant/antioxidant status and neurotransmitters may be the underlying mechanisms of neurotoxicity induced by BPA and DEHP.

Summary: Exposure to BPA during fetal development can have lasting effects on adult behaviors and neural activity, with some phenotypes maintained transgenerationally. BPA increases vasopressin(+) neurons in the circadian center of the brain and promotes precocious neurogenesis, requiring co-antagonism of estrogen and androgen receptors to block its effects on neural progenitors. Overall, gestational BPA exposure affects the development of circadian centers and has lasting consequences across generations.

Summary: This study reveals a functional link between mast cell chymase and osteoblast function, suggesting that chymase may regulate bone formation by directly impacting osteoblasts. Chymase affects the morphological features of osteoblasts, reduces collagen output, degrades osteoblast-secreted fibronectin, and activates pro-matrix metallopeptidase-2. It also has a preferential impact on TGF beta-associated signaling molecules and affects the expression of genes important for bone metabolism.

Summary: Due to its simple process, environmental friendliness, and low operating costs, biometallurgy has become a popular technology for metals recovering from low-grade ores and tailings. An optimized agar was used to isolate and grow functional bacteria, resulting in the successful isolation of six functional stains. These strains were further tested for their ability to leach metals from polymetallic sulfide tailings, with significant improvements observed when the strains were mixed together. The selection of leaching process should be based on tailings composition and target metals.

Summary: This study examines the association between urban Green and blue spaces (GBS) exposure and Emotion and behavior problems (EBP) in youth populations. The findings suggest that higher exposure to GBS, particularly green spaces (GS) and blue spaces (BS), is associated with a decrease in the risk of developing total difficulties in young individuals. The joint effect of GS and BS may also contribute to the decrease in EBPs.

Summary: Air pollution is associated with a range of health issues and gestational exposure to environmental pollutants may be linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. This study investigated the effects of oral gestational exposure to particulate matter (PM) on ultrasonic vocalizations (USV). The findings suggest that this exposure may lead to social deficits and abnormal gene expression related to neurotransmitter systems. Further research is needed to better understand the effects of air pollution on neurodevelopmental disorders and the neurotransmission systems involved.

Summary: The selection of predictor variables is crucial in building a digital mapping model for potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil. Traditionally, spatial and spectral parameters have been used as predictor variables, but the temporal dimension is often overlooked. This study demonstrates the value of incorporating temporal indices in the model, leading to significant performance improvements. The temporal-spatial-spectral covariate combinations used in a random forest (RF) algorithm achieve satisfactory mapping accuracy and outperform other methods.
