Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

A short history of the toxicology of inhaled particles

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2012
Particle toxicology arose in order to understand the mechanisms of adverse effects of 3 major particle types that had historically exerted the greatest toll of ill-health—quartz, coal and asbestos. By the middle of the last century rat inhalation studies

Epigenetically Regulated NOX4/NRF2 Axis Mediates PM2.5‐Induced Ferroptosis and Inflammatory Response in Membranous Nephropathy

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the involvement and mechanism of ferroptosis in particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)–induced membranous nephropathy (MN) progression. A cationic bovine serum albumin (cBSA)–induced mouse model of MN was established, followed by PM2.5 exposure.

Therapeutic‐dose verapamil‐induced cardiogenic shock in an older patient: a case report

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Calcium channel blocker (CCB) toxicity most commonly follows deliberate overdose. However, severe toxicity at therapeutic doses may occur in susceptible individuals. Severe CCB toxicity often presents with clinical features of bradycardia, hypotension, hyperglycaemia, and lactic acidosis.

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Chronic, Environmentally Relevant PM2.5 Exposure Exacerbates Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Early‐Stage Renal Dysfunction in a Rodent Model

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While epidemiological studies link fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and renal dysfunction, a translational gap exists, as most animal models utilize acute, high‐dose exposures that poorly reflect chronic, moderate‐level human scenarios.

Paraben Exposure in the General Taiwanese Population: Reference Values, Personal Care Products, and Cumulative Risk Assessment

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parabens (parahydroxybenzoates), which are frequently used as preservatives in pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and personal care products, have recently attracted considerable attention due to their adverse health effects and endocrine‐disrupting properties.

Safety evaluation and toxicokinetics of repeated inhalation exposure to pegylated interferon α-2b

Frontiers in Pharmacology
This study aimed to evaluate the safety profile and toxicokinetic (TK) characteristics of pegylated interferon α-2b (PEG IFNα-2b) following repeated nebulized inhalation exposure in juvenile Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, and to establish the no-observed ...

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Feasibility and SNR Performance of Hyperpolarized 129Xe Gas Exchange Imaging Using a Balanced SSFP Sequence

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a balanced SSFP (bSSFP) sequence for pulmonary 129Xe dissolved‐phase imaging based on a previously described double‐echo sequence facilitating separation into red blood cell and membrane signals, to test its feasibility and compare its SNR performance and imaging results to an analogous FLASH sequence.
