Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypoxanthine (Hx), produced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) metabolism, is a valuable indicator that determines the quality and degradation status of meat products and is also an important biochemical marker to certain diseases such as gout. The rapid emergence of paper-based enzyme biosensors has already revolutionized its on-site determination. But it is still limited by the complex patterning and fabrication, unstable enzyme and uneven coloration. This work aims to develop an eco-friendly method to construct engineered pap...

Size dependent ingestion and effects of microplastics on survivability, hematology and intestinal histopathology of juvenile striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)
Chemosphere. 2024 Apr 5:141827. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141827. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroplastic pollution is drastically increasing in aquatic ecosystems and it is assumed that different sizes of microplastics have diverse impacts on the physiology of aquatic organisms. Therefore, this study was intended to examine the ingestion and size specific effects of polyamide microplastic (PA-MP) on different physiological aspects such as growth, feed utilization, survivability, blood parameters and intestinal histopathology of juvenile striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). In a 28-day exposure, the fish...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 464: Different Nuclear Architecture in Human Sperm According to Their Morphology
Alexandre Rouen
Human sperm parameters serve as a first step in diagnosing male infertility, but not in determining the potential for successful pregnancy during assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) procedures. Here, we investigated the relationship between sperm head morphology at high magnification, based on strict morphologic criteria, and the nuclear architecture analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We included five men. Two of them had an elevated high-magnification morphology score of 6 points (Score 6) indicating high fertility potential, whereas three had a low score of 0 points (Score 0...

Exploring tradeoffs among diet quality and environmental impacts in self-selected diets: a population-based study
ConclusionThere are tradeoffs among the environmental impacts of diets. Thus, future dietary analyses should consider multiple sustainability indicators simultaneously. Cluster analysis is a useful tool to help design tailored, socio-culturally acceptable dietary transition paths towards high diet quality and lower environmental impact.

Structure and function of the larval teleost fish gill
AbstractThe fish gill is a multifunctional organ that is important in multiple physiological processes such as gas transfer, ionoregulation, and chemoreception. This characteristic organ of fishes has received much attention, yet an often-overlooked point is that larval fishes in most cases do not have a fully developed gill, and thus larval gills do not function identically as adult gills. In addition, large changes associated with gas exchange and ionoregulation happen in gills during the larval phase, leading to the oxygen and ionoregulatory hypotheses examining the environmental constraint that resulted in the evolutio...

Distribution and bioaccumulation of trace elements in two Cyprinidae fish species in the Indus river, Pakistan, including the impact of hydraulic structure on macroinvertebrates' biodiversity
Environ Res. 2024 Apr 4:118882. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118882. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe concentration of trace elements (chromium, lead, zinc, copper, manganese, and iron) was determined in water, sediment and tissues of two Cyprinidae fish species - Labeo rohita and Tor putitora - collected from the eight sampling stations of Indus River in 2022 for four successive seasons (autumn, winter, spring, summer), and also study the present condition of macroinvertebrates after the construction of hydraulic structure. The obtained results of trace element concentrations in the Indus River were higher than the accepta...

Current situation of lead (Pb) exposure in raptors and waterfowl in Japan and difference in sensitivity to in vitro lead exposure among avian species
Environ Pollut. 2024 Apr 4:123907. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123907. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough lead (Pb) poisoning in wild birds has been considered a serious problem in Japan for over 30 years, there is little information about Pb exposure and its sources throughout Japan except for Hokkaido. Furthermore, to identify and effectively prioritize the conservation needs of highly vulnerable species, differences in sensitivity to Pb exposure among avian species need to be determined. Therefore, we investigated the current situation of Pb exposure in raptors (13 species, N = 82), waterfowl (eight species, N = 44) ...

Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) as potential mechanical vectors of the protozoan cyst and helminthic eggs in Kashmir Himalaya, India
AbstractBlowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) are an important group of non-biting flies that are potential mechanical vectors of protozoan and helminthic pathogens. The present study was carried out to isolate and identify protozoan cysts and helminthic eggs transmitted by blowflies. Surveys were carried out at six different sites, viz., butcher shops, fish markets, garbage piles, water bodies, and open vegetation in the Kashmir Himalaya. The flies were collected with the help of a sweeping net and using day-old beef liver as bait from March 2021 to February 2023. A total of 968 blowflies were collected, out of which 83 were...
