This kind of study, additionally, demands robust multi-factorial statistical designs that can accurately characterize the individual and combined relationship between variables. In this research, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to calculate the individual and interaction effects of NaCl concentration and pH value of a Simulated Textile Effluent (STE) on the development rate (DR) of the bioindicators: <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> bacteria and <i>Lactuca sativa</i> lettuce. The results demonstrated that the bioindicators were sensitive to both NaCl and pH factors, where the relative sensitivity relationship was <i>B. subtilis</i> > <i>L. sativa</i>. The quadratic equations generated in the experiments indicated that increased concentrations of 50-250 mg L<sup>-1</sup> of NaCl caused a perturbance of 1.40%-34.40% on the DR of <i>B. subtilis</i> and 0.50%-12.30% on <i>L. sativa</i>. The pH factor at values of 3-11 caused an alteration of 27.00%-64.78% on the DR of the <i>B. subtilis</i> and 51.37%-37.37% on the <i>L. sativa</i>. These findings suggest that the selected bioindicators could serve as effective tools to assess the ecotoxicological effects of textile effluents on different ecological systems, and the RSM was an excellent tool to consider the ecotoxicological effects of the parameters and to describe the behavior of the results. In conclusion, the NaCl and pH factors may be responsible for disrupting different ecosystems, causing imbalances in their biodiversity and biomass.

In this study, we investigated the effect of TCE-induced KCs polarization on liver function and signal transduction pathways using the TCE sensitization model developed by our group.

When using low doses of gadolinium trichloride (GdCl<sub>3</sub>), the expression of these proteins and mRNA was significantly reduced. This phenomenon indicates that GdCl<sub>3</sub> blocks TCE-induced polarization of KCs and suggests that the IFN-γ/STAT1 signaling pathway may be involved in the polarization process of KCs.

Three metals with reported effects on the cardiovascular system (CVS) were identified, and these metals were copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and mercury (Hg). In Sprague-Dawley rats, the adverse effects of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and mercury (Hg), alone and as part of mixtures, on the blood parameters, the aorta and heart were investigated. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into eight groups (<i>n</i> = 6): control, Cu, Mn, Hg, Cu + Mn, Cu + Hg, Mn + Hg and Cu, Mn + Hg. The seven experimental groups received the metal mixtures at 100 times the World Health Organisation (WHO) safety limit for drinking water (2 mg/L for Cu, 0.4 mg/L for Mn and 0.06 mg/L for Hg) via oral gavage for 28 days. After 28 days, compared with the control, red blood cell levels were increased for Cu + Hg. All other measured blood parameters were unchanged. Morphological changes in the tunica media were connective tissue deposition and an abundance of collagen type I in the metal exposed aortic tissues. In the cardiac tissue of metal-exposed rats, changes in the cardiomyocyte and myofibrillar arrangement, with an increase in collagen type I and III was observed. Ultrastructurally, the aortic collagen and elastin band arrangement and the cardiac mitochondrial and myofibrillar arrangement and structures were altered in the experimental groups.
