The pollution of triadimefon (TDF) fungicides significantly hinders the "One Health" frame achievement. However, the enantioselective effects of chiral TDF on the circadian rhythm of fish remained unclear. Herein, TDF enantiomers (R(-)-TDF and S(+)-TDF) and racemic Rac-TDF were selected to investigate their enantioselective effects and mechanisms on circadian rhythm of goldfish (Carassius auratus) at an environmentally-relevant concentration (100 µg L⁻¹).

The widespread use of plasticizers like phthalate esters (PAEs) has led to environmental and health concerns. The neurobehavioral toxicity of these compounds in marine environments, particularly regulated by the "brain-gut" axis, remains unclear, especially concerning wild demersal fish of high ecological value. Our investigation into the behavioral effects of three common PAEs, i.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a brain tumor characterized by its aggressive and invasive properties. It is found that STAT3 is abnormally activated in GBM, and inhibiting STAT3 signaling can effectively suppress tumor progression. In this study, novel pyrimidine compounds, BY4003 and BY4008, were synthesized to target the JAK3/STAT3 signaling pathway, and their therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of action were evaluated and compared with Tofacitinib in U251, A172, LN428 and patient-derived glioblastoma cells.

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants found in aquaculture animals that may threaten human health through the food chain. However, there is a lack of effective methods for extracting MPs from aquaculture feeds containing complex components such as organic matter and fish bones. Therefore, in the present study, the extraction efficiency of three digestion methods using 30 % HO, Fenton reagent, and 30 % HO + HNO for different particle sizes and types of MPs in aquaculture feeds was investigated and compared.

Strict standards have been put forward for the treatment and discharge of dyeing wastewater worldwide. However, there are still traces amount of pollutants, especially emerging pollutants in dyeing wastewater treatment plant (DWTP) effluent. Few studies have focused on the chronic biological toxicity effect and mechanism of DWTP effluent.

The rapid development of the textile industry has resulted in a large influx of wastewater production. The "national discharge standards of water pollutants for dyeing and finishing of textile industry (GB4287-2012)" stipulates that the discharge of total Sb from textile industry effluent must be < 0.10 mg/L, but it is difficult to meet the standard at present.

The ever-increasing production and processing of textiles will lead to greater risks of releasing pollutants into the environment. Textile wastewater treatment plants (TWTPs) effluent are an important source of persistent toxic pollutants in receiving water bodies. The effects of specific pollutants on organisms are usually studied under laboratory conditions, and therefore, comprehensive results are not obtained regarding the chronic combined effects of pollutants under aquatic environmental conditions.

This study aims to characterize biomechanical behavior of various designs of posterior mandibular marginal resection under functional loadings using finite element method. The ultimate goal of this work is to provide clinically relevant information to prevent postoperative fracture and to stipulate prophylactic internal fixation for planning of marginal mandibulectomy. A 3D mandibular master model was reconstructed from cone beam computed tomography images.
