Lip-1 seemed to attenuate BLM-induced fibrosis by targeting ROS/p53/α-SMA signaling both in vivo and in vitro. In summary, this study demonstrates that Lip-1 administration performs a protective role in against pulmonary fibrosis and lights up the potential of Lip-1 treatment for patient with IPF in future.
To identify sexist violence features on different technological generations (Millennials and Generation X).
Descriptive cross-sectional study. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/p22077.html SITE Region of Murcia, Spain.
A total of 1269 users of social networks belonging to the Millennials generation (19-38 years) and Generation X (39-54 years) who are in a romantic relationship.
The instrument "Questionnaire about new technologies to transmit gender violence", analyzes the use of social networks, suffered and exercised violence on couples. The study variables have been the generational group, age, sex, alcohol and drug consumption, the level of formal education, origin and residence country and sexual orientation.
Millennials show a statistically significant association with the items on risk patterns in networks related to phising, sexting, flaming, false offers, cyberstalking, and webcam hijacking (p<0.05), while regarding violence suffered only has been observed association in items related to flaming (OR 0.405) (95% CI 0.226-0.726) and ser hand, there are differences between the behaviors and violence suffered and practiced according to the different sexes, where the violence suffered by women is related to fear and activities of a sexual nature.Decentralised wastewater management (DWM) systems are deployed in areas where the topography does not allow for gravity flow to a centralised system, or requires a complex and expensive pumping station network. Also, DWM systems are often the only option in rural areas where there are no sewage transport networks. This paper aims at addressing the question of the degree to which DWM systems can be considered as viable alternatives from an environmental point of view using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. First, the environmental sustainability is investigated to identify environmental hotspots in two (nature-based and engineered) onsite DWM systems. Second, DWM scenarios are compared against centralised wastewater management (CWM) scenarios using a whole-systems approach. Finally the boundary conditions under which a given DWM scenario performs better than a CWM scenario are discussed. Results show CWM scenarios were less sustainable than DWM scenarios on the resources endpoint due to their sewer infrastructures, however CWM scenarios performed better than DWM scenarios on the ecosystems quality endpoint due to their well-managed air emissions and discharges. While on human health no clear conclusion could be drawn. Finally, for relatively few households (subject of the study in rural areas) CWM scenarios did not score superior performances compared to DWM scenarios on all three endpoint indicators. Yet for a greater number of households it was impossible to decide in favour of decentralisation because of a lack of favourable consensus on all three endpoint indicators.The transport of microplastics in porous media is attracting increasing attention. However, to date, research is limited to polystyrene microplastics. Meanwhile, surfactants can promote solid dispersion to form a stable suspension, possibly allowing microplastics to migrate when attached to a surfactant, which would increase the scope and degree of microplastic pollution, further endangering human health and the stability of the ecological environment. Therefore, in this study, the transport behavior of microplastics in porous media was explored in the presence of surfactants. Herein, polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) were evaluated while dispersed by two ionic surfactants cationic surfactant-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and anionic surfactant-sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS). The influence of different factors (surfactant concentration, ionic strength, pH, flow rate, and multivalent cations) on the transport of microplastics in porous media was explored via quartz sand packed-column expebehavior of microplastics in CTAB and SDBS well. This research highlights that surfactant has a significant impact on the transport ability of microplastics, and provides a comprehensive understanding of the migration and fate behaviors of microplastics affected by surfactants, which is necessary to prevent and reduce the environmental hazards of microplastics.Lakes are important sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. Factors controlling CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes include eutrophication and warming, but the integrated influence of climate-warming-driven stratification, oxygen loss and resultant changes in bloom characteristics on GHGs are not well understood. Here we assessed the influence of contrasting meteorological conditions on stratification and phytoplankton bloom composition in a eutrophic lake, and tested for associated changes in GHGs inventories in both the shallow and deep waters, over three seasons (2010-2012). Atmospheric heatwaves had one of the most dramatic effects on GHGs. Indeed, cyanobacterial blooms that developed in response to heatwave events in 2012 enhanced both sedimentary CH4 concentrations (reaching up to 1mM) and emissions to the atmosphere (up to 8 mmol m-2 d-1). That summer, CH4 contributed 52% of the integrated warming potential of GHGs produced in the lake (in CO2 equivalents) as compared to between 34 and 39% in years without cyanobacterial blooms. High CH4 accumulation and subsequent emission in 2012 were preceded by CO2 and N2O consumption and under-saturation at the lake surface (uptakes at -30 mmol m-2 d-1 and -1.6 µmol m-2 d-1, respectively). Fall overturn presented a large efflux of N2O and CH4, particularly from the littoral zone after the cyanobacterial bloom. We provide evidence that, despite cooling observed at depth during hot summers, CH4 emissions increased via stronger stratification and surface warming, resulting in enhanced cyanobacterial biomass deposition and intensified bottom water anoxia. Our results, supported by recent literature reports, suggests a novel interplay between climate change effects on lake hydrodynamics that impacts both bloom characteristics and GHGs production in shallow eutrophic lakes. Given global trends of warming and enrichment, these interactive effects should be considered to more accurately predict the future global role of lakes in GHG emissions.
