Background: Increasing evidence suggests that environmental factors play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Humans are simultaneously exposed to multiple brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in the environment. However, the relationship between BFRs and PD remains unclear.

- Epidemiological studies indicate that air pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide (NO), is linked to fetal growth restriction (FGR), particularly when exposure occurs during the second trimester.
- A retrospective analysis of nearly 29,000 newborns showed a positive correlation between maternal NO exposure and the risk of having small-for-gestational-age babies, with a specific odds ratio calculated.
- Animal studies further confirmed that maternal NO inhalation affects embryonic development and the hematopoietic system, with findings suggesting that this exposure leads to placental hypoxia, thereby activating certain biological pathways that contribute to FGR.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the impact of low dietary fiber on cardiovascular disease (CVD) among adults aged 60 and older using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.
- Findings showed a decrease in CVD mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) related to low fiber intake from 1990 to 2019, with the most significant improvements seen in high and high-middle sociodemographic index regions.
- CVD risks associated with low fiber intake were highest in adults aged 85-89 and showed greater prevalence in men, indicating that inadequate dietary fiber remains a major contributor to CVD-related mortality and disability in older populations.
In this work, an efficient method for the rapid extraction and separation of antioxidant phenols was developed and optimized. The method was then applied to extract and separate nine phenols from 37 varieties of raspberry, in which their antioxidant activities were further investigated. First, the extraction was conducted using ultra-sonication, which was then further separated using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet (RP-HPLC/UV) analysis.
