  16. Carbonized silk fibers for in‐tube solid‐phase microextraction to detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples

    • Journal of Separation Science

    • Silk fibers were carbonized to develop a biomass carbon material as an adsorbent for solid‐phase microextraction. The surface structure of the carbonized silk fibers was characterized by scanning electron microscope, and the graphitization degree was determined by Raman spectrometer. After the carbonization under high temperature, the orderliness and structural regularity of carbon atoms on silk fibers were promoted.

  17. Safety Concerns of Diamide Insecticides

    • Toxicological Sciences

    • The recently published study by Truong and Pessah (2018) raised severe food safety concerns about the application of the diamide pesticides chlorantraniliprole and flubendiamide. In the present letter we wish to share our thoughts provoked by their paper and provide important future research perspectives.

  18. Atropselective Oxidation of 2,2′,3,3′,4,6′-Hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 132) to Hydroxylated Metabolites by Human Liver Microsomes and Its Implications for PCB 132 Neurotoxicity

    • Toxicological Sciences

    • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. Several neurotoxic congeners display axial chirality and atropselectively affect cellular targets implicated in PCB neurotoxicity. Only limited information is available regarding the atropselective metabolism of these congeners in humans and their atropselective effects on neurotoxic outcomes.

  19. Cadmium Exposure Impairs Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis

    • Toxicological Sciences

    • Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant of considerable interest throughout the world and potentially a neurotoxicant. Our recent data indicate that Cd exposure induces impairment of hippocampus-dependent learning and memory in mice. However, the underlying mechanisms for this defect are not known. The goal of this study was to determine if Cd inhibits adult neurogenesis and to identify underlying signaling pathways responsible for this impairment.

  20. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Can Trigger Hepatocyte Release of Extracellular Vesicles by Various Mechanisms of Action Depending on Their Affinity for the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

    • Toxicological Sciences

    • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanostructures released by cells into the extracellular environment. As major actors of physiological intercellular communication, they have been shown to be pathogenic mediators of several liver diseases. Extracellular vesicles also appear to be potential actors of drug-induced liver injury but nothing is known concerning environmental pollutants.

  25. Toxicological Potential of Cadmium Impact on Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Early Development

    • Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

    • Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic element widely distributed in the aquatic environment and producing a wide variety of harmful effects. In this study, the acute toxicity (96 h LC50) of Cd to rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss embryos and larvae was determined. The obtained results showed that hatched larvae were the most sensitive to Cd exposure. After 4 days of exposure, embryos were found to have accumulated greater concentrations of Cd than larvae.
