Microbiome analysis of the restricted bacteria in radioactive element-containing water at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station
This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of microbial communities, utilizing meta 16S amplicon sequencing, with a focus on environmental samples collected from the radioactive element-containing water in the torus room, including the surrounding environments. Some of the identified microbial genera are shared with those previously identified in spent nuclear fuel pools in countries such as France and Brazil. Moreover, our discussion in this paper elucidates the correlation of many of these bacteria with metal corrosion.PMID:38470121 | DOI:10.1128/aem.02113-23 (Source: Applied and Environmental Microbiology)

Epilepsy-related functional brain network alterations are already present at an early age in the GAERS rat model of genetic absence epilepsy
Discussionrs-fMRI, MEMRI, and volumetric data collectively suggest the significance of cortical networks in GAERS, which correlates with an increased fronto-central connectivity in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE). Our findings also verify involvement of basal ganglia and limbic regions. Epilepsy-related network alterations are already present in juvenile animals. Consequently, this early condition seems to play a greater role in dynamic brain function than chronic absence seizures. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Synergistic Effect of Co ‐Mo Pinning in Lay‐Structured Oxide Cathode for Enhancing Stability toward Potassium‐Ion Batteries
The [Mn-Co-Mo]O6 octahedra are introduced into P3-K0.45MnO2 to optimize the local electron structure. The [MoO6] propose an empty outermost electrons (4d05s0) orbitals structure and the smaller ionic radius and higher oxidation state can induce a second-order JTE distortion in the adjacent [MnO6] octahedra. Co3+ do not induce Jahn-Teller effects due to the empty electron in eg orbital. AbstractOwing to the high economic efficiency and energy density potential, manganese-based layer-structured oxides have attracted great interests as cathode materials for potassium ion batteries. In order to alleviate the continuous phase t...

Joint and interactive effects of metal mixtures on liver damage: Epidemiological evidence from repeated-measures study
CONCLUSION: Exposure to heavy metals (Cr, Cd, Mn, Pb) is associated with liver function markers, potentially leading to liver damage. Moreover, there are joint and interaction effects among these metals, which warrant further investigation at both the population and mechanistic levels.PMID:38461577 | DOI:10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116178 (Source: Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety)

The effects of heavy metal exposure on brain and gut microbiota: A systematic review of animal studies
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 8:123732. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123732. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe gut-brain axis is a crucial interface between the central nervous system and the gut microbiota. Recent evidence shows that exposure to environmental contaminants, such as heavy metals, can cause dysbiosis in gut microbiota, which may affect the gut-brain communication, impacting aspects of brain function and behavior. This systematic review of the literature aims to evaluate whether deleterious effects on brain function due to heavy metal exposure could be mediated by changes in the gut microbiota profile. Animal studie...

Manganese accumulation in red blood cells as a biomarker of manganese exposure and neurotoxicity
Neurotoxicology. 2024 Mar 8:S0161-813X(24)00023-8. doi: 10.1016/j.neuro.2024.03.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough overexposure to manganese (Mn) is known to cause neurotoxic damage, effective exposure markers for assessing Mn loading in Mn-exposed workers are lacking. Here, we construct a Mn-exposed rat model to perform correlation analysis between Mn-induced neurological damage and Mn levels in various biological samples. We combine this analysis with epidemiological investigation to assess whether Mn concentrations in red blood cells (MnRBCs) and urine (MnU) can be used as valid exposure markers. The results sh...
