The potent peroxisome proliferator hepatocarcinogens WY-14,643, BR-931, and nafenopin, as well as mono(ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP), the principle metabolite of the weaker hepatocarcinogen di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate) (DEHP), were evaluated in the in vitro rat hepatocyte DNA repair assay by quantitative autoradiography. None of these carcinogens induced unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS). These results failed to confirm the previously reported induction of UDS by WY-14,643 and BR-931 as determined by nuclear liquid scintillation counting. Hydroxyurea (HU, 10 mM) is commonly employed to inhibit replicative DNA synthesis (RDS) when using scintillation counting techniques for UDS. Autoradiographs revealed incomplete inhibition of RDS by HU.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is the third most common cardiovascular disease. A low amount of mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) reflects mitochondrial dysfunctions and has been associations with arterial cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of mtDNA-CN in venous cardiovascular disease was unclear.

Association of COMT genetic polymorphism with neuromodulation treatment response in women with fecal or urinary incontinence.

Am J Obstet Gynecol

March 2025

Social, Statistical, & Environmental Sciences, RTI International, Research Triangle Park, NC, United States.

Background: Prior studies have failed to demonstrate clinical or statistical difference in fecal incontinence (FI) symptom improvement with neuromodulation by percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) vs sham. The results of these studies may be indicative of a placebo or sham effect and led us to investigate possible genetic biomarkers of placebo response among women with FI.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between response to PTNS or sham and genetic polymorphisms associated with placebo response in women with FI.

Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) is an aggressive T-cell lymphoma affecting children and young adults. About 30% of patients develop therapy resistance therefore new precision medicine drugs are highly warranted. Multiple rounds of structure-activity optimization of Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester have resulted in CM14.

Antibiotic resistance has been recognized as one of the most prevalent public health problems. The bioaerosol-mediated spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is an important but underrated pathway. Therefore, this work investigated the comprehensive resistome and pathogen-induced risk in bioaerosols released from anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process under antibiotic stress.

Ammonia fertilizer, primarily composed of ammonium chloride, is widely used in pond fish farming throughout Asia. Despite the belief that it possesses antiviral properties, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) has been demonstrated to act as a potent inhibitor of autophagy, which is used by many fish viruses to promote their proliferation during infection.
