The changes in the glutathione-dependent and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymatic activity in the rat lungs and liver tissues have been studied after the administration of plague murine toxin (LD100). It has been found out the early toxic effect in 1h in the lungs: 35% SOD and glutathione peroxidase (tributyl hydroperoxide) (GP) decrease, 87% glutathione reductase (GR) increase along with two-hold ascent of ratio GR/Glutathione-S-transferase (GT), GR/GPs. The fundamental ratio GR/GT.GPs rises in 1h 3.7 times and then falls below standard rate (5h). This is the evidence of the lungs antioxidant system potential power exhaustion. It has been established that in the liver, 4 times SOD activity increases in 2h after the toxin injection, and 1.5 times GP (tributyL) hydroperoxide) activity ascends in 1h. The ratio increase (150% for SOD/GP-H2O2 in 2h, 114% for GR/GP (tributyl hydroperoxide) and 61% for GR/GT in 5h) indicates the stable unbalance of this system. The pathogenetic significance of detoxication system disturbances in the lungs and liver tissues under the murine toxin influence is discussed.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the roles of EGR1 and NR4A3 in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) to understand intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and seeks new treatment strategies for the condition.
- - Bioinformatics and various experimental methods established that NR4A3 is a direct target gene of EGR1, and both proteins are more expressed in severely degenerated discs compared to mildly degenerated ones.
- - The findings highlight that the EGR1-NR4A3 axis is crucial in mediating NPC apoptosis and extracellular matrix impairment, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for IVDD.

To improve the adsorption and catalytic performance of heterogeneous Fenton-like catalysts for oil wastes, amino acids were used to modify nanoscale zero-valent iron (AA@Fe), which were applied in the Fenton-like degradation of organic solvents (tributyl phosphate and n-dodecane, named TBP and DD). Twelve amino acids, i.e.

In nuclear industry, tributyl phosphate (TBP) is used as organic extracting solvent to separate uranium and plutonium. The spent TBP is finally discarded as the radioactive organic waste, which should be treated due to its potential risk. In this study, TBP degradation by Fenton oxidation was investigated in detail, including the optimization of operational conditions, degradation kinetics and degradation products.

While activated sludge treatment is currently the preferred process for the removal of tributyl phosphate (TBP) at the mg.L level, it is well known that this recalcitrant molecule is incompletely degraded, stimulating research into alternative approaches, such as advanced oxidation. The aim of this study was to characterize the degradation mechanism of TBP during ultraviolet/HO treatment using P NMR, ionic chromatography and total organic carbon analysis.
