Association Between Iodine Status and Prevalence of Hypothyroidism, Autoimmune Thyroiditis, and Thyroid Nodule: a Cross-Sectional Study in Shandong Province, China
This study identified associations between different UIC levels and the prevalence of thyroid disorders, with low UIC (< 100 μg/L) posing a risk for TN, and the detection rate of TN and hypothyroidism was the lowest in UIC (200-299 μg/L) group. Therefore, the acceptable UIC range of 'adequate' iodine intake among adults can be widened from 100-199 µg/L to 100-299 µg/L.PMID:38619679 | DOI:10.1007/s12011-024-04179-4 (Source: Biological Trace Element Research)

Influence of Silicon Supplementation on Growth, Immunity, Antioxidant, Hormonal Profile and Bone Health Biomarkers in Pre-ruminant Crossbred Calves
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04178-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSilicon (Si), a newer trace element, is believed to be important for healthy bone formation and to decrease bone resorption, improving the quality of bone by manipulating several hormones and enzymes. Therefore, the current investigation was conducted to determine the impact of Si supplementation on growth, immunity, antioxidant, hormonal profile and biomarkers of bone health in pre-ruminant crossbred calves. Twenty-four crossbred calves (5-7 days) were selected on the basis of their body weight (BW 31.65 ± 0.46 kg) and divide...

Relationship Between Arsenic in Biological Media and Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Apr 15. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04157-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArsenic (As) is an environmental pollutant with carcinogenic effects and breast cancer (BC) is a prevalent malignant tumor in women. The goal of this meta-analysis was to establish a connection between biological sample As levels and the risk of developing BC. Pub Med, Web of Science, Scopus, and Elsevier were used to systematically screen the literature published between 1990 and 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was also used in assessing the quality of publications. A random-effects model was used to assess the pertinent data...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe occurrence of antibiotic resistance on common bacterial agents and the need to use new generations of antibiotics have led to the use of various strategies for production. Taking inspiration from nature, using bio-imitation patterns, in addition to the low cost of production, is advantageous and highly accurate. In this research, we were able to control the temperature, shake, and synthesis time of the synthesis conditions of Bacillus megaterium bacteria as a model for the synthesis of magnetic iron nanoparticles and optimi...

Arsenic and Benzo[a]pyrene Co-exposure Effects on MDA-MB-231 Cell Viability and Migration
This study aimed to assess the combined impact of BaP and As on the viability and migration of MDA-MB-231 cells. The results indicated that even at low levels, both inorganic As (0.01 μM, 0.1 μM, and 1 μM) and BaP (1 μM, 2.5 μM), individually or in combination, enhanced the viability and migration of the cells. However, the cell cycle analysis revealed no significant differences between the control group and the cells exposed to BaP and As. Specifically, exposure to BaP alone or in combination with As (As 0.01 μM + BaP 1 μM) for 24 h led to a significant increase in vimentin gene expression. Interestingly, short-ter...
