Effect of Physical Exercise on Executive Functions Using the Emotional Stroop Task in Perimenopausal Women: A Pilot Study.

Unlabelled: Exercise has beneficial effects on emotional cognitive control for the majority of the population. However, the impact of exercise on cognitive processes in perimenopausal women remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of aerobic exercise on the cognitive processes of perimenopausal women using an emotional Stroop task (EST).

A detection model of testis-derived circular RNAs in serum for predicting testicular sperm retrieval rate in non-obstructive azoospermia patients.

Background: Microdissection testicular sperm extraction is an effective method to retrieve sperm from non-obstructive azoospermia patients. However, its successful rate is less than 50%.

Objectives: To identify the predictive value of circular RNAs in serum for sperm retrieval rate in non-obstructive azoospermia patients.

Exposure to melamine and its derivatives in Chinese adults: The cumulative risk assessment and the effect on routine blood parameters.

Melamine (MEL) and its derivatives, ammeline (AMN), ammelide (AMD), cyanuric acid (CYA) are widely existed in environmental media. Animal studies have reported the cumulative risk assessment (CRA) of simultaneous exposure to MEL and its derivatives and explored the associations between exposure and routine blood parameters. Such information is largely unknown in human studies.

[Characteristics and Source Apportionment of Ambient VOCs in Lhasa].

Due to the high altitude of plateau cities and strong ultraviolet radiation, the sources and fates of volatile organic compounds show unique characteristics. In this study, the atmospheric volatile organic compound (VOCs) samples were collected at two urban sites and one background site using tank sampling in Lhasa in 2019, and then the composition, concentration, and sources were characterized. The results showed that the average (VOCs) in Lhasa was 49.

Enrichment of cadmium in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown under different exogenous pollution sources.

In order to unravel the cadmium (Cd) enrichment patterns in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown under different exogenous exposure pathways, the pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse. Cd was added to the soil-rice system via mixing soil with Cd-containing solution, irrigating the pots with Cd-containing water and leaf-spraying with Cd solution to simulate soil pollution (SPS), irrigation water pollution (IPS), and atmospheric deposit pollution sources (APS), respectively.

Highly time-resolved characterization of water-soluble inorganic ions in PM in a humid and acidic mega city in Sichuan Basin, China.

To investigate the characteristics of water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs) in Chongqing, a well-known foggy and acid region in southwestern China, hourly real-time concentrations of five cations (Na, K, NH, Ca, and Mg) and six anions (F, Cl, NO, NO, PO, and SO) in PM during winter (from Dec. 18, 2015 to Mar. 20, 2016) in Chongqing were collected by applying In-situ Gas and Aerosol Compositions Monitor.
