Efficacy of internet-delivered universal and tailored transdiagnostic interventions for anxiety and depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Internet-delivered transdiagnostic psychological interventions are promising approaches for the treatment of anxiety and depression. This study aimed to review and synthesize evidence related to the effectiveness of Internet-based transdiagnostic interventions for reducing anxiety and depression, and to compare the effects of universal versus tailored interventions.

Methods: A Systematic review search was conducted on the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PsychINFO, Medline, and CINAHL databases as of 28 March 2024.

Rewiring the nexus between urban traffic pollution-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure and DNA injury via urinary metabolomics.

Urban road traffic environmental stress impacts outdoor population health, with oxidative damage serving as an early indicator of xenobiotic exposure. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as priority carcinogens pose significant public health burden, yet knowledge remains limited regarding the endogenous metabolic alternations associated with oxidative DNA injury. This cross-sectional study focused on the cohort consisting of 109 sanitation workers ("traffic exposure group") and 112 demographics-matched common residents ("controls") in South China.

The effects of tele-based interventions for depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Depression and anxiety are common psychiatric symptoms in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). While face-to-face psychotherapy is a common option, tele-based interventions provide a more accessible alternative. However, a comprehensive synthesis of evidence from clinical trials for COPD patients has yet to be conducted.

Effectiveness of digital intelligence interventions on depression and anxiety in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Depression and anxiety are common mental disorders in later life. Digital intelligence interventions overcome the limitations of conventional psychotherapy and offer new treatments for depression and anxiety. However, the effectiveness among older adults remains unclear.

Uptake pathways of phthalates (PAEs) into Chinese flowering cabbage grown in plastic greenhouses and lowering PAE accumulation by spraying PAE-degrading bacterial strain.

Uptake pathway and accumulation variation of soil and airborne phthalates (PAEs) in plastic greenhouses by vegetables remains unclear. Here, pot experiments of Chinese flowering cabbage were designed to distinguish root or leaf uptake pathways of PAEs, and investigate the mitigation of spraying PAE-degrading strain in PAE accumulation by vegetables. The results showed that leaves of Chinese flowering cabbage grown in plastic greenhouses absorbed more PAEs from air than those of outside greenhouses.

Prevalent phthalates in air-soil-vegetable systems of plastic greenhouses in a subtropical city and health risk assessments.

Wide use of plastic greenhouses for vegetable production increases human exposure to phthalate (PAEs) through vegetable intake. However, little information is available about distribution of PAEs in air-soil-vegetable systems of plastic greenhouses and PAE estrogenic effects. This study was designed to investigate PAE distributions and corresponding health risk in plastic greenhouses in Guangzhou, a subtropical city in South China.

The Microenvironment of Tongue Cancer.

Cancer cells interact with and remodel the surrounding microenvironment. An increasing number of studies focus on tongue tumor microenvironment (TME) to find novel approaches to investigate tongue cancer, indicating that tongue tumor microenvironment is recognized as a critical element for tongue tumor development and metastasis and as a potential therapeutic target. In this paper, we review the extrinsic features of the tongue tumor microenvironment, including its various components, and the intrinsic characteristics of TME, including heterogeneity, cell death, and metastatic potential.

Occurrence and human health risks of phthalates in indoor air of laboratories.

Phthalate acid esters (PAEs) are of serious concern as a human health risk due to their ubiquitous presence in indoor air. In the present study, fifteen PAEs in the indoor air samples from physical, chemical, and biological laboratories in Guangzhou, southern China were analysed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Extremely high levels of PAEs of up to 6.

Effects of rice straw biochar on sorption and desorption of di-n-butyl phthalate in different soil particle-size fractions.

Sorption of organic contaminants by biochar greatly affects their bioavailability and fate in soils. Nevertheless, very little information is available regarding the effects of biochar on sorption and desorption of organic contaminants in different soil particle-size fractions. In this study, di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), a prevalent organic contaminant in agricultural soils, was taken as a model contaminant.

Variation in metabolism and degradation of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) by high- and low-DBP accumulating cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and crude enzyme extracts.

Crops can take up and accumulate di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), an extensively used plasticizer with endocrine disrupting effect, which poses potential risk to human health. Our previous study found the genotype variation in accumulation of DBP by different cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Occurrence and distribution of antibiotics and antibiotic resistant genes in water and sediments of urban rivers with black-odor water in Guangzhou, South China.

Urban rivers in some countries have been heavily polluted and the water became black and odor. Nevertheless, only few studies reported the occurrence of antibiotics and their corresponding antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in urban rivers with black-odor water with and without remediation. In this study, nine antibiotics (belonging to sulfonamides, tetracyclines, quinolones, and macrolides) and their corresponding ARGs in water and sediments of six urban rivers in Guangzhou, South China were analyzed to investigate their spatial distribution and the influence of water remediation.
