Background: The paucity of empirical evidence supporting a correlation between the utilization of household chemicals and cognitive decline in Chinese older adults.
Methods: The data utilized for this study originated from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS 2018). Using regression models to investigate the relationship between exposure to household chemicals and cognitive decline, and evaluate the impact of different fields on cognitive function.
Results: The use of household chemicals was associated with a decline in cognitive function (anti-caries agent, OR = 1.68, P = 0.040; air freshener, OR = 2.48, P = 0.002; disinfectant, OR = 1.40, P = 0.033). The more frequent the use of household chemicals, the worse the cognitive function (Model1: OR = 2.54, P = 0.024; Model2: OR = 3.23, P = 0.006; Model3: OR = 3.59, P = 0.003).
Conclusion: The study has uncovered a correlation between the utilization of household chemicals and cognitive decline in individuals aged 65 years and over in China.

Etnopharmacological Relevance: The Convolvulaceae or morning glory family, with about 2000 species in the world's Tropics and subtropics, stands out among the plants used in traditional medicine. Medicinal plant complexes with important purgative properties have been developed in Mexico and Brazil from members of the genera Ipomoea and Operculina with storage roots. Popularly known as the jalap roots, their resin glycosides cause purgative and laxative activities that facilitate bowel movements.

Article Synopsis
- 0D hybrid metal halide (HMH) luminescent glasses are gaining popularity due to their unique chemical properties and connection to crystalline forms, but their glass-forming abilities and luminescent characteristics are not fully understood.
- The review discusses the formation of these glasses through melt-quenching, examines the current compounds that can create stable glassy phases, and explores their structural features, such as transparency and luminescence.
- Additionally, potential applications in areas like X-ray detection, anti-counterfeiting, and information encryption are highlighted, along with insights into future developments for 0D HMH glasses.

Unlabelled: The chemical substance bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in household products, and its effect on human health has frequently been the focus of research. The aim of this study was to explore the potential molecular regulatory mechanism of BPA on the proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells. In this study, the H1299 and A549 lung cancer cell lines were selected as the study objects.

Lead (Pb), a highly toxic heavy metal, poses a significant global health risk, particularly to children. Widely used in paint manufacturing for its remarkable corrosion-resistance properties Pb exposure has been linked to severe health issues, including reduced neurotransmitter levels, organ damage, potentially leading to death in extreme cases. Children Are particularly vulnerable, with Pb toxicity primarily affecting the brain, reproductive, kidneys, and cardiovascular systems.
