Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) are an increasing threat to global health initiatives. Efforts to prevent the development of ADRD require understanding behaviors that increase and decrease risk of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, in addition to uncovering the underlying biological mechanisms behind these effects. Stress exposure and alcohol consumption have both been associated with increased risk for ADRD in human populations. However, our ability to understand causal mechanisms of ADRD requires substantial preclinical research. In this review, we summarize existing human and animal research investigating the connections between lifetime stress and alcohol exposures and ADRD.

Background: Competing definitions of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been proposed by ICD-11 and DSM-5; it is unclear which diagnostic model works best for children and adolescents. Although other studies have predicted the impact of these models by approximating the criteria using older measures, this study advances the research by comparing measures designed to assess ICD-11 and DSM-5 criteria in hurricane-exposed youth. This study evaluates ICD-11 and DSM-5 (both the standard and preschool-age) diagnostic models by identifying diagnostic rates, evaluating diagnostic concordance, investigating the predictive value of constructs associated with PTSD (demographics, disaster threat and exposure, functional impairment), and examining model fit.

Amino acid starvation by the chemotherapy agent asparaginase is a potent activator of the integrated stress response (ISR) in liver and can upregulate autophagy in some cell types. We hypothesized that autophagy related 7 (ATG7), a protein that is essential for autophagy and an ISR target gene, was necessary during exposure to asparaginase to maintain liver health. We knocked down Atg7 systemically (Atg7) or in hepatocytes only (ls-Atg7KO) in mice before exposure to pegylated asparaginase for 5 d.

The fate of the pollutants in aquatic environment is closely related to colloids, and the carrier effect of colloids on pollutants not only affects their bioaccumulation, but may also affect their toxicity. In this study, the effects of natural colloid with different components on the biological toxicity of benzophenone-3 (BP3) to zebrafish larvae (Diano rerio) were studied. BP3 caused oxidative stress damage, thyroid system disorders and neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae.

Dinotefuran (DIN) is toxic to non-target organisms and accelerates the evolution of antibiotic resistance, which poses a problem for the stable operation of the activated sludge process in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, the emergence and the transfer mechanism of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in activated sludge systems under DIN stress remains unclear. Thus, in the study, the potential impact of DIN on ARGs and virulence factor genes (VFGs) in aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was investigated in depth using metagenomic binning and functional modules.
