In vitro inhalation bioaccessibility and health risk assessment of difenoconazole in the atmosphere.

Background: Assessment of the risk of pesticide inhalation in populations around farmland is necessary because inhalation is one of the ways in which pesticides can risk human health. This study aimed to identify the inhalation risk of difenoconazole on humans by using dose-response and exposure assessments.

Results: In the field simulation application, respiratory exposure in populations around farmland ranged from 71 to 430 ng/m .

Water-Stable Hybrid Lead-Free Perovskite for Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermistors.

Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors feature higher sensitivities and faster response speeds and thereby have particular applications in many fields. However, current NTC thermistors are mostly based on inorganic ceramic materials, which show obvious drawbacks in material synthesis, property modulation, and flexible film fabrication. Herein, we report, for the first time, the promising application of an inorganic-organic hybrid NTC thermistor.

Ultrathin covalent and cuprophilic interaction-assembled copper-sulfur monolayer in organic metal chalcogenide for oriented photoconductivity.

We report the thinnest copper sulfur atomic monolayer in an organic copper chalcogenide [Cu(CMP)] (CMP = 5-chloro-2-mercaptopyridine). The layer features a new type of copper sulfur structure woven by both covalent bond and cuprophilic interaction and shows an intriguing oriented photoconductivity.

Potential effects of exploiting the Yunfu pyrite mine (southern China) on soil: evidence from analyzing trace elements in surface soil.

Trace element contamination caused by mining is a serious environmental problem. The potential effects of exploiting the Yunfu pyrite mine (southern China) on soil were investigated by determining trace elements in 56 surface soil samples from the vicinity of the Yunfu pyrite mine. The samples were acid dissolved and measured by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

A Meta-analysis of the Value of vWF in the Diagnosis of Liver Cirrhosis with Portal Hypertension.

Studies have indicated that serum von Willebrand factor (vWF) has a positive correlation with hepatic venous pressure gradient. However, information on the value of vWF in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension has been lacking. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to assess the value of vWF in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension.

OncoBase: a platform for decoding regulatory somatic mutations in human cancers.

Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing have revealed millions of somatic mutations associated with different human cancers, and the vast majority of them are located outside of coding sequences, making it challenging to directly interpret their functional effects. With the rapid advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies, genome-scale long-range chromatin interactions were detected, and distal target genes of regulatory elements were determined using three-dimensional (3D) chromatin looping. Herein, we present OncoBase (http://www.
