The objective of this study was to assess the effects of nickel chloride on human and rainbow trout erythrocytes in vitro. The cells were incubated with 0, 0.5 and 1 mM nickel chloride for 1 h at pH 7.40 and 25 degrees C, then K(+) efflux, SO (4) (2-) uptake and GSH and GSSG concentrations were measured. In both kind of cells, "high concentration" nickel treatment increased KCl efflux with respect to the control. The SO (4) (2-) uptake was not significantly different at "low nickel concentration" but was lower in erythrocytes treated with 1 mM nickel chloride; the rate constant of SO (4) (2-) uptake decreased by 35% in human erythrocytes and by 44% in fish erythrocytes. Nickel chloride also acts on cellular metabolism and in particular on erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase with consequent increase in oxidative stress; the data show a significant decrease in intracellular GSH in both human (25%) and fish erythrocytes (18%) after treatment with nickel chloride, with concomitantly high GSSG concentrations and lower GSH/GSSG ratios.

Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is preferred for its affordability and environmentally friendly approach. This study explored the synthesis and characterization of silver NPs (AgNPs) and examined their impact on the growth of Zea mays, both alone and in combination with nickel chloride (NiCl). A methanolic leaf extract was combined with silver nitrate to synthesize AgNPs.

A two-step method for the synthesis of C/Ni/N nanocomposites based on hydrolysis lignin from wood chemical processing waste is proposed. These nanocomposites were found to have a well-developed porous structure with a wide pore size distribution. It was shown that doping hydrolysis lignin with urea-derived nitrogen leads to the appearance of ferromagnetic behavior in the carbon material.

Article Synopsis
- Hydrogel-based sensors are gaining importance for health monitoring, particularly in motion and breathing detection, but traditional hydrogels face issues like poor mechanical properties and complicated fabrication.
- This study introduces a new conductive hydrogel (P(AA-UH)-OGG-CS/NiCl) that gels in just 3 minutes at room temperature, thanks to a unique redox reaction involving nickel chloride and urushiol.
- The new hydrogel exhibits excellent adhesion to pig skin and enhanced tensile strength, making it highly sensitive and stable for use in human health monitoring applications.

In α-diimine nickel catalyst-mediated ethylene polymerization, adjusting catalytic parameters such as steric and electronic factors, as well as spectator ligands, offers an intriguing approach for tailoring the thermal and physical properties of the resulting products. This study explores two sets of -symmetric α-diimine nickel complexes-nickel bromide and nickel chloride-where -steric and electronic substituents, as well as nickel halide, were varied to regulate simultaneously chain walking, chain transfer, and the properties of the polymers produced. These complexes were activated with EtAlCl, resulting in exceptionally high catalytic activities (in the level of 10-10 g (PE) mol (Ni) h) under all reaction conditions.

Although the human body needs nickel as a trace element, too much nickel exposure can be hazardous. The effects of nickel on cells include inducing oxidative stress, interfering with DNA damage repair, and altering epigenetic modifications. Glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism are closely related to oxidative stress; however, their role in nickel-induced damage needs further study.
