Juvenile and Pubertal Exposure to Polystyrene Nanoplastics Impairs Epididymal Structure and Sperm Quality in Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are emerging environmental contaminants capable of crossing biological barriers, accumulating in tissues, and disrupting physiological pathways. The male reproductive system is particularly vulnerable during the postnatal period, a developmental window characterized by intense testicular differentiation and epididymal ...

Microplastics and the Endocrine–Metabolic Interface: Novel Diagnostic Tools Targeting Thyroid–Adipose Axis

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as major environmental contaminants that can affect organisms directly and act as carriers of particles and chemical additives, thereby aggravating endocrine networks that coordinate metabolic homeostasis.

Processing Stabilization of Polyolefin Recyclates Using Alditols in Combination With α‐Tocopherol: A Sustainable Alternative to Phosphites

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
A novel bio‐based stabilizer system significantly improves the quality of polyolefin recyclates during multiple recycling cycles. ABSTRACT This study introduces a novel bio‐based stabilizer system for polyolefin recyclates that combines alditols with small amounts of α‐tocopherol as a sustainable alternative to conventional phosphite additives.

Posidonia oceanica Leaves as a Natural Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) Composites: Characterization and Biodegradation Assessment in Seawater

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
This study shows that incorporating 5–10 wt.% Posidonia oceanica, with or without micro‐talc, in PBSA preserves thermal stability, modifying crystallization behavior, and maintains good filler dispersion and interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties are moderately stiffened.

Inflammatory Shift in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Amidst Guangzhou's Urbanization (2000–2018)

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) exhibits temporal and geographic diversity in pathological endotypes with progressive eosinophilic infiltration, while the underlying causes remain unclear. Current pathological endotypes determination relies on mean cell count per high‐power field, requiring accuracy optimization.
