Background: Vitiligo, a prevalent acquired depigmentation condition, involves a progressive melanocyte loss, posing significant treatment challenges. Excimer light has been employed in vitiligo treatment, while trichloroacetic acid (TCA) has been noted to induce chemical trauma, leading to perifollicular pigmentation and perilesional repigmentation in vitiligo. This study aims to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of using 308 nm monochromatic excimer light alone versus combining it with 50% TCA in treating vitiligo.

Pine needles are suitable biomonitors of airborne semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). However, the various pine species, each with unique distribution and ecological traits, may differ in their ability to retain pollutants. The SVOC uptake capacities between different vegetation species remain largely unknown, and this study seeks to address this gap.

This study was conducted at Fildes Bay, King George Island, Antarctica, from November 30th, 2019, to January 30th, 2020. We determined the concentrations of Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in phytoplankton, and zooplankton. The most abundant compounds found were hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in phytoplankton and γ-HCH in zooplankton.

Background: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a common continuous inflammation dermatosis requiring efficacious therapeutic intervention. Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex-Cnidii Fructus (PC) herb pair has shown effectiveness and security in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical applications, yet its pharmacological constituents and mechanisms are not fully elucidated.
Purpose: This study used serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology, and validation experiments to examine the impact of PC in the treatment of AD.

A total of 242 processing factors (Pf) were determined for 34 pesticides studied in milling products (flour, semolina, bran, middlings, fine bran), in refined and wholemeal pasta. The durum wheat cv Platone was grown in the field and was treated with formulations containing acetamiprid, λ-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, benzovindiflupyr, and prothioconazole, at dosages 5 times higher than the label. Part of the untreated wheat was fortified in the laboratory with a mixture of 31 pesticides (organophosphates, organochlorines, pyrethroids, and others) at spiking levels of 1.
