While some diseases stem solely from environmental factors, others like atopic eczema, also known as neurodermatitis or atopic dermatitis, are multifaceted, with environmental variables playing a significant role in its initiation and severity. Atopic eczema is a prevalent chronic condition observed globally, particularly in Western industrialized nations where its prevalence is estimated to range from 2.5% to 3.5% in adults and 10% to 15% among children. The increasing incidence of atopic eczema in industrialized countries over recent decades suggests that this trend may be due to environmental changes rather than genetic predispositions. Therefore, by thoroughly examining environmental factors and their role in atopic dermatitis, one may be able to gain a better understanding of its disease pattern and develop possible preventative measures.

The nation's energy use is increasing progressively. One of the greenest forms of energy is LNG. Natural gas, a liquefied gas, uses ultra-low temperatures and purification. In this study, the assessment of LNG carrier vehicles was evaluated from the perspective of Bangladesh. A cryogenic liquid tanker truck, called an LNG carrier vehicle, was found in the survey to carry liquefied natural gas in an environment with extremely low temperatures. Even though LNG is flammable, explosive, cryogenic, and has other characteristics, the safety design of an LNG carrier vehicle is crucial for the security of road transportation. Time consumption analysis and economic section analysis were conducted, and the truck was found to be the ultimate solution. LNG cryogenic liquid storage tanks, trailer running gear, piping systems, a control box, and other parts are often found in LNG carrier vehicles. Utilizing statistical tools, the validity of the survey and its findings will be evaluated by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The safety design study for these two systems was the topic of this work. A report on the compatibility of the best method for transporting LNG within all feasible safety conditions will be made possible by the research.","PeriodicalId":73740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental science and public health","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134996685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although experimental and circumstantial data suggest that PFOS induces endothelial dysfunction, leading to decreased uterine arterial blood flow and gestational hypertension, the precise regulatory mechanisms responsible for this effect remain unknown. To address this issue, we treated human uterine artery endothelial cells (hUAECs) isolated from pregnant women with 10 μmol/L PFOS or vehicle and conducted comparative transcriptomic analyses. We identified a total of 19 differentially expressed genes, 9 of which were upregulated and 10 were down-regulated in PFOS-treated pregnant hUAECs. Pre-ranked gene set enrichment analysis unveiled a distinct set of activated genes involved in osmotic stress, cellular stress response, translation regulation, metabolic regulation, and oxidation-reduction processes in PFOS-treated pregnant hUAECs. Furthermore, PFOS treatment resulted in the downregulation of genes implicated in cardiac muscle cell proliferation, embryonic morphogenesis, and muscle cell proliferation. In addition, we observed differential splicing events in 2678 genes in hUAECs exposed to PFOS, with cross-comparison analysis revealing 4 genes that were both differentially expressed and alternatively spliced and were implicated in oxidative stress and cardiac development. In conclusion, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PFOS-induced gestational uterine artery endothelial dysfunction during pregnancy, offering a valuable resource for future research in this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":73740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental science and public health","volume":"7 2","pages":"79-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10388705/pdf/nihms-1906236.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9922381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research conducted thus far, has raised questions regarding the unique influences that the pandemic imposed on individuals with anorexia and those at risk for developing it. This opinion article offers a psychoanalytic understanding for the increased morbidity of anorexia following the outbreak of COVID-19. It argues that the encounter between an external reality saturated with restrictions and prohibitions and the anorexic internal reality intensified the anorexic symptomology. The authors present explanations regarding the ways in which the pandemic undermined the anorexic defenses and contributed to the increase of anorexia. They conclude that COVID-19 has led to the exacerbation of anorexia through employment of two key defense mechanisms of anorexia, which are: 1. Implementation of prohibitions, reductions, and restrictions. 2. Having an omnipotent sense of self, in which the body is regarded as controllable.","PeriodicalId":73740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental science and public health","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135446572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"PFOS Impairs Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Dynamics and Reduces Oxygen Consumption in Human Trophoblasts.","authors":"Alissa Hofmann,&nbsp;Jay S Mishra,&nbsp;Pankaj Yadav,&nbsp;Sri Vidya Dangudubiyyam,&nbsp;Chellakkan S Blesson,&nbsp;Sathish Kumar","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a synthetic chemical used in various commercial applications and industrial settings, has led to contamination of drinking water and has been detected in the bloodstream of pregnant women with gestational complications. Recent investigations have indicated that PFOS disrupts placental function; however, the mechanism remains elusive. Given the significant abundance of mitochondria in the placenta, which play a pivotal role in fulfilling the heightened energy requirements of pregnancy, our research aimed to examine the repercussions of PFOS exposure on mitochondrial dynamics within placental trophoblasts. Specifically, human trophoblasts (HTR-8/SVneo) were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of PFOS ranging from 0.1 to 50 μM for 48 hours. Findings revealed that PFOS exposure elicited a concentration-dependent decrease in basal, maximal, and ATP-linked respiration. PFOS inhibited the activity of electron transport complexes I, II, and III, resulting in diminished ATP production. Furthermore, PFOS reduced mitochondrial DNA copy number, indicating less mitochondrial content. Concurrently, there was a downregulation in the expression of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes, including <i>PGC-1α, NRF1,</i> and <i>NRF2</i>. Notably, PFOS perturbed mitochondrial dynamics by suppressing the expression of fission-related genes (<i>FIS1</i> and <i>DRP1</i>) and fusion-related genes (<i>MFN1</i> and <i>MFN2</i>). In summary, our findings suggest that PFOS exposure leads to a decline in mitochondrial content and compromises the bioenergetic capacity of trophoblasts by impairing cellular respiration. This reduction in mitochondrial biogenesis and alterations in fission/fusion dynamics induced by PFOS may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in trophoblasts. Consequently, strategies that preserve mitochondrial function in trophoblasts may mitigate PFOS-induced impairment of placental energy metabolism.</p>","PeriodicalId":73740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental science and public health","volume":"7 4","pages":"164-175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10621633/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71429923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
