1. The hepatotoxic response of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to a middle distillate (MD) and heavy distillate (HD) coal liquid was determined following administration by injection or in food. Hepatic aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity was compared to the known AHH inducer, benzo(a)pyrene. 2. Acute toxicities (LD50) of 1500 and 1410 mg/kg were obtained 120 hr after intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) for MD and HD coal liquids, respectively. Only the HD induced AHH activity when injected at 5% and 10% of the acute LD50. 3. Ingestion of 7 or 70 mg HD/kg body weight for 1 week resulted in AHH induction at 5-7 times that of control values. Levels of hepatic AHH activity in fish treated at 7 mg HD/kg declined to 2.6 times control values 7 days after exposure. Maximum induction was observed for the 70 mg HD/kg group that was provided control food for 1 week following 2 weeks of exposure. 4. The hepatic index (HI) or liver to body weight ratio generally increased along with increased activity in the enzyme response system.

Article Synopsis
- * While SG has few common complications, rare issues such as acute hiatal hernia (AHH) can occur and may need further surgical treatment.
- * This study presents a case of a female patient in Mexico who developed AHH post-surgery, which was successfully treated through reduction and omentopexy.

Improved recycling technologies can offer sustainable end-of-life options for plastic waste. While polyolefins can be converted into small hydrocarbons over acid catalysts at high temperatures, we demonstrate an alternative mechano-catalytic strategy at ambient conditions. The mechanism is fundamentally different from classical acidity-driven high-temperature approaches, exploiting mechanochemically generated radical intermediates.

Tumor-associated myeloid cells, including macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, can be highly prevalent in solid tumors and play a significant role in the development of the tumor. Therefore, myeloid cells are being considered potential targets for cancer immunotherapies. In this review, we focused on strategies aimed at targeting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) assembles into a contractile nanomachine to inject effectors across bacterial membranes for secretion. The species complex is a group of soil inhabitants and phytopathogens that deploys T6SS as an antibacterial weapon against bacterial competitors at both inter-species and intra-species levels. The strain 1D1609 genome encodes one main T6SS gene cluster and four genes (i.

Objective: Denmark went through various COVID-19 pandemic restrictions including periodic lockdowns from March 2020 to January 2022. All cancer screening programs were kept operational, yet access to clinicians for cervical screening was at times limited. We assessed the impact of the pandemic on cervical cancer screening activity in the Capital Region of Denmark.
