Ganglioside GM3 is implicated in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Due to GM3 exposes on the outer surface of cell membranes, it is strongly associated with cell adhesion, motility and differentiation. Neurite outgrowth is a key process in the development of functional neuronal circuits and regeneration of the nervous system after injury. In the present study, we used enzymatic hydrolysis and chemical synthesis to obtain novel galactose containing GM3 analogues. By enzymatic hydrolysis to prepare GM3 building block, we can avoid multiple chemical procedures. Next, we employed the PC12 cells as a model to evaluate the effects of GM3 analogues on neurite outgrowth with or without NGF induction. The biological tests showed that GM3 analogues could induce neurite outgrowth, which provides the valuable sights for potential nervous system treatment after injury.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how exercise and vitamin D supplementation affect arterial stiffness and lipid metabolism in Type 2 diabetes patients.
- A 12-week program involved participants engaging in moderate to vigorous exercise with some receiving vitamin D.
- Results showed that vitamin D helped prevent decreases in ankle-brachial index and highlighted that certain lipid predictors could significantly improve predictions related to blood pressure changes and arterial stiffness.
- Overall, vitamin D supplementation was beneficial in reducing arterial stiffness compared to conventional clinical methods.

A high polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) producing strain of Bacillus natto UV-40-50 was screened by ultraviolet mutagenesis treatment and identified as still belonging to the Bacillus specie. The optimal fermentation medium composition for solid state fermentation (SSF) of B. natto strain UV-40-50 strain was determined by one-way analysis of variance, under which the yield of γ-PGA was 55.

Department of Neurology, Hebei General Hospital, Shijiazhuang, China.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated neuropathy characterized by prolonged clinical progression, with a subset known as acute-onset CIDP (A-CIDP) presenting rapid weakness similar to Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
- A case study of a 56-year-old woman highlighted the complexities of diagnosing A-CIDP, particularly when she exhibited anti-GM3 and anti-sulfatides antibodies, which are rarely seen in A-CIDP.
- The findings emphasize the importance of identifying specific antibodies in understanding CIDP's pathogenesis and the need for careful monitoring of symptoms during treatment to prevent further complications.
Benzene Exposure in Workers From a Waste Oil Regeneration Plant During Ordinary Activities by Air and Biological Monitoring.

EPIGET - Epidemiology, Epigenetics, and Toxicology Lab, Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health, University of Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on assessing benzene exposure among plant workers involved in the regeneration of waste oil, a key part of the EU's circular economy initiative.
- The research involved monitoring 59 workers using personal air samplers and analyzing urine samples for benzene and its metabolites, finding that exposure levels were consistently below occupational limits.
- Results indicated no significant differences in benzene exposure based on job tasks or worker type, although smokers exhibited higher exposure levels than non-smokers, suggesting that routine activities in this industry do not pose significant health risks from benzene.
Ozone and Laser Effects on Dentin Hypersensitivity Treatment: A Randomized Clinical Study.

Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila, Italy.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of diode laser and ozone gas in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DHS).
Methods: One hundred thirty-two teeth from 44 patients with moderate DHS were randomized into 3 groups according to a split-mouth design. In the diode laser group, the operator irradiated the superficial dentin exposed with an 808-nm wavelength and incremental power from 0.
