Evaluation of arsenic metabolism and tight junction injury after exposure to arsenite and monomethylarsonous acid using a rat in vitro blood–Brain barrier model

Plos.org 

by Hiroshi Yamauchi, Toshiaki Hitomi, Ayako Takata

Experimental verification of impairment to cognitive abilities and cognitive dysfunction resulting from inorganic arsenic (iAs) exposure in children and adults is challenging. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of arsenite (iAsIII; 1, 10 and 20 μM) or monomethylarsonous acid (MMAIII; 0.1, 1 and 2 μM) exposure on arsenic metabolism and tight junction (TJ) function in the blood–brain barrier (BBB) using a rat in vitro-BBB model.

by Mei Yang, Vagheesh M. Narasimhan, F. Benjamin Zhan

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer among both men and women and is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. It is important to identify risk factors that may be used to help reduce morbidity and mortality of the disease. We used a case-control study design to explore the association between CRC, polygenic risk scores (PRS), and other factors. We extracted data about 2,585 CRC cases and 9,362 controls from the UK Biobank... Читать дальше...

Experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic as a homeless person in Chennai, India: An interpretative phenomenological analysis

Limitations in predicting reduced susceptibility to third generation cephalosporins in Escherichia coli based on whole genome sequence data

Plos.org 

by Anna Heydecke, Hong Yin, Eva Tano, Susanne Sütterlin

Prediction of antibiotic resistance from whole genome sequence (WGS) data has been proposed. However, the performance of WGS data analysis for this matter may be influenced by the resistance mechanism’s biology. This study compared traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing with whole genome sequencing for identification of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) in a collection of 419 Escherichia coli isolates. BLASTn-based prediction... Читать дальше...

Relationship between the evaluation of agricultural scientific and technological innovation capacity and the influencing factors of green agriculture

Plos.org 

by Mei Zhang, Kai Fang, Danting Zhang, Dejie Zeng

China has limited arable land area, and its output value is increased with enhanced agricultural inputs such as machinery, irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides. However, this mode is accompanied by an increase in agricultural carbon emissions. With the aim to further examine the driving effect of scientific and technological innovation on economic growth and green agriculture, this study uses the Solow growth model coupled with the Cobb–Douglas...
