The study shows that plant growth regulators (PGRs) have estrogenic effects, which may disrupt the normal physiological functions of endogenous estrogen in organisms. This study used electrochemical methods to investigate the electrochemical behavior and estrogenic effects of PGRs gibberellic acid (GA), ethylene (ETH), and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on estrogen-free human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) cells when exposed individually or in combination. The results indicate that GA, ETH, and NAA, whether used alone or in combination, exhibit estrogenic effects on MCF-7 cells.

Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCPP), a prevalent organophosphorus flame retardant in aquatic environments, has raised significant concerns regarding its ecological risks. This study aims to explore the impacts of TCPP on the reproductive functions of zebrafish and delineate its gender-related toxic mechanisms. By assessing the effects on zebrafish of 10 mg/L TCPP exposure from 30 to 120 days post-fertilization (dpf), we thoroughly evaluated the reproductive capability and endocrine system alterations.

Article Synopsis
  • This text discusses a sonic anemometer designed to measure wind speed on Mars, where conditions include low CO2 pressure and extreme temperatures.
  • The study evaluates four different transducers to identify their performance, revealing how temperature and pressure impact measurement accuracy.
  • Findings suggest that while some transducers show higher measurement errors, others perform better, with potential applications also including stratospheric anemometry for Earth's high-altitude balloon missions.

Objective: Lindqvist-type polyoxometalates (POMs) exhibit potential antitumor activities. This study aimed to examine the effects of Lindqvist-type POMs against breast cancer and the underlying mechanism.

Methods: Using different cancer cell lines, the present study evaluated the antitumor activities of POM analogues that were modified at the body skeleton based on molybdenum-vanadium-centered negative oxygen ion polycondensations with different side strains.

In the context of an aging population and escalating work pressures, cardiovascular diseases pose increasing health risks. Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring presents a preventive tool, but conventional devices often compromise comfort. This study proposes an approach using Ag NW/TPU composites for flexible and breathable epidermal electronics.

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are promising inorganic drug candidates for cancer chemotherapy. They are becoming attractive because of their easy accessibility and low cost. Herein, we report the synthesis and antitumor activity studies of four Lindqvist-type POMs with mixed-addenda atoms Na[VWO{(OCH)CR}] (R=-CHOH, -CH, -CHCH) and (BuN)[VW{(OCH)CHOOCCHCH}].

Frequent toxic gas leakage accidents in urban environments cannot be timely controlled and often cause great harm due to the many factors affecting gas diffusion. In this study, based on the coupling method of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) and the open source OpenFOAM software platform, the chlorine gas diffusion process at different temperatures, wind speeds, and wind directions in a chemical laboratory and nearby urban areas in Beijing was studied numerically. A dose-response model was used to calculate chlorine lethality and assess exposure risk at the pedestrian level.

As an important organophosphate flame retardant, tris(1-chloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TCPP) is ubiquitous in the environment leading to inevitable human exposure. However, there is a paucity of information regarding its acute/chronic effects on obesity, lipid homeostasis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, especially regarding the underlying molecular mechanisms in humans. Herein, we investigated the effects of TCPP exposure (5-25 mg/L) on lipid homeostasis in larval and adult zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Using density functional theory calculations, the adsorption of gaseous molecules (NO, NO, NH, SO, CO, HCN, O, H, N, CO, and HO) on the graphitic SiC monolayer and bilayer has been investigated to explore the possibilities in gas sensors for NO, NO, and NH detection. The strong adsorption of NO and SO on the SiC monolayer precludes its applications in nitride gas sensors. The nitride gases (NO, NO, and NH) are chemisorbed on the SiC bilayer with moderate adsorption energies and apparent charge transfer, while the other molecules are all physisorbed.

Hydrogen storage properties of the pure Si2BN monolayer were studied using density functional theory calculations. The interaction of H2 molecules with the Si2BN monolayer is weak and of electrostatic nature. The average hydrogen adsorption energies are within the ideal range of practical applications (0.
