Within recent years, hormones have become emergent contaminants in the water environment. They easily accumulate in living organisms which in effect leads to numerous health problems (endocrine-disrupting mechanism is one of the most known toxic effects). Microbial resistance to antibiotics also became one of the emergent issues related to hormone presence. It was shown that the most common in the environment occur estrogens (E1, E2, E3, and EE2). It has been proven that large amounts of hormones are released from aquaculture as well as from wastewater treatment plants (due to the relatively low separation efficiency of conventional wastewater treatment processes). Within the article's scope, the literature review was performed. The analysis was regarding the characterization of the hormone substances present in the environment, their influence on living organisms and the environment, as well as its potential sources classification.

Gradient disparities in allergy and the gut microbiome among rural, migrant, and urban populations across China.

World Allergy Organ J

January 2025

Department of Respiratory Medicine, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, China State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease, National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Disease, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, China.

Background: While much of the evidence linking the rapid urbanization and the increasing prevalence of allergen sensitization, but little is known regarding rural-to-urban migrants. The aim of this study was to identify the disparities in allergy, the gut microbiome and factors among native urban, migrating, and native rural Chinese.

Methods: We redesigned the dataset of the China Alliance of Research on Respiratory Allergic Disease secondary survey, and after stratified sampling, a subsample of 2422 subjects were enrolled for the analysis of a questionnaire, skin prick tests (SPT), and specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) titer measurements against 8 common allergens.

Introduction: Organ donation is the transplantation of tissues or organs from one person to another, and it is considered a method to save lives when a patient has end-stage organ failure. Community willingness to engage in organ donation programs is imperative in promoting successful organ transplantation.

Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional study design involving 420 adult participants from the Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia.

Metabolite levels and turnover rates are necessary to understand metabolomic dynamics in a living organism fully. Amino acids can play distinct roles in various cellular processes, and their abnormal levels are associated with pathological conditions, including cancer. Therefore, their levels, especially turnover rates, may provide enormous information about a phenotype.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a significant global health challenge, with approximately 1.8 million new cases diagnosed annually and a mortality toll exceeding 881,000 lives each year. This study aimed to evaluate the chemoprotective efficacy of Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) in a rat model of CRC induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH).

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is essential for DNA synthesis and repair in all living organisms. The mechanism of RNR requires long-range radical transport through a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) pathway spanning two different protein subunits. Herein, the direct PCET reaction between the interfacial tyrosine residues, Y356 and Y731, is investigated with a vibronically nonadiabatic theory that treats the transferring proton and all electrons quantum mechanically.
