Objective: To investigate the expression of apoptosis and caspase-8, cyt c in the skin of the BALB/c mice exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE).
Methods: 30 BALB/c mice were divided in random into the solvent control group, 10% TCE group, 20% TCE group, 40% TCE group, 80% TCE group and 100% TCE group. Apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL and EM. The expressions of caspase-8 and cyt c were detected with immunohistochemical method.
Results: EM showed that the apoptosis of cells was found in the high dosage groups. The immunohistochemical results showed that there were significant differences in the apoptosis rate and the activity of cyt c between the different dosage groups. There was the significant difference in the apoptosis rate between the 40%, 80%, 100% TCE groups the control group (P < 0.01). There was the significant difference in the expression of cyt c between the 20%, 40%, 80%, 100% TCE groups [(2.60 +/- 0.54), (3.42 +/- 0.56), (5.81 +/- 1.30) and (6.00 +/- 0.70), respectively] and the control group (P < 0.01). The expressions of caspase-8 had no significant differences (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: Apoptosis plays an important role in trichloroethylene induced irritant injury in skin and the apoptosis may be related with the mitochondrial injury.

Nitrogen (N) doping of biomass prior pyrolysis has been identified as an effective approach for enhancing biochar catalytic reactivity. However, high-temperature pyrolysis of N-rich biomass may produce N-devoid biochars with high reactivity, calling for attention to the true causes of the reactivity increases and the role of nitrogen. In this study, N-doped wheat straw biochar (N-BC) materials were produced using urea as N dopant and different pyrolysis conditions, and their catalytic reactivity assessed for the reduction of trichloroethylene (TCE) by green rust (GR), a layered Fe(II)Fe(III) hydroxide.

While vegetable uptake of traditional metal contaminants is a well-studied pathway to human exposure and risk, a paucity of information exists on the uptake of emerging metal contaminants. This study evaluated the uptake of the Technology-critical elements (TCEs) gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), thallium (Tl), and rare earth elements (REEs) into lettuce cultivated in 21 European urban soils. For comparison, the uptake of cadmium (Cd) was also analysed.

Despite recent advances in immunotherapy against B cell malignancies such as BCMA (B cell maturation antigen) and CD19-targeted treatments using soluble T cell-engaging (TCE) antibodies or chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), there is still an important number of patients experiencing refractory/relapsed (R/R) disease. Approaches to avoid tumor-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance such as immune pressure-mediated antigen downmodulation, are being broadly investigated. These strategies include BCMA/CD19 dual-targeting therapies, which may be of particular interest to patients with B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma, where a specific double-positive immature subpopulation is commonly associated with poor prognosis and poor response to current treatments.

Introduction: Teclistamab, the first approved B-cell maturation antigen-directed bispecific antibody for treatment of triple-class exposed relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, demonstrated deep, durable responses with a manageable safety profile in the pivotal MajesTEC-1 cohort (NCT03145181/NCT04557098). Efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics from the MajesTEC-1 China cohort are reported.

Article Synopsis
- Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury negatively impacts the ovaries, and this study examined the potential benefits of Tarantula cubensis extract (TCE) on this condition in female rats.
- The rats were divided into seven groups, where some received TCE or ethanol before or after being subjected to ischemia (lack of blood flow) and reperfusion (restoration of blood flow) while others acted as controls.
- Results showed that TCE treatment improved the histopathological condition of the ovaries, particularly when administered before ischemia, despite not significantly lowering certain oxidative stress markers; additionally, inflammatory cytokine levels decreased with TCE treatment.
