high certainty in three of the four exposure-outcome combinations.
Positive associations were found between short-term exposure to ambient SO2 and all-cause and respiratory mortality. These associations were robust against several sensitivity analyses, and were judged to be of moderate or high certainty in three of the four exposure-outcome combinations.
Air pollution is a major environmental hazard to human health and a leading cause of morbidity for asthma worldwide.

To assess the current evidence on short-term effects (from several hours to 7days) of exposure to ozone (O
), nitrogen dioxide (NO
), and sulphur dioxide (SO
) on asthma exacerbations, defined as emergency room visits (ERVs) and hospital admissions (HAs).

We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and other electronic databases to retrieve studies that investigated the risk of asthma-related ERVs and HAs associated with short-term exposure to O
, NO
, or SO
. We evaluated the risks of bias (RoB) for individual studies and the certainty of evidence for each pollutant in the overall analysis. A subgroup analysis was performed, stratified by sex, age, and type of asthma exacerbation. We conducted sensitivity analysis by excluding the studies with high RoB and based on the E-value. Publication bias was examined with the Egger's test and with funnel plots.

Our literature search retrieved 9,059at no unmeasured confounders were expected. There was no major evidence of publication bias. Based on the adaptation of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation, the certainty of evidence was high for 8-hour or 24-hour O
and 24-hour NO
, moderate for 24-hour SO
, 1-hour O
, and 1-hour SO
, and low for 1-hour NO
.

Short-term exposure to daily O
, NO
, and SO
was associated with an increased risk of asthma exacerbation in terms of asthma-associated ERVs and HAs.
Short-term exposure to daily O3, NO2, and SO2 was associated with an increased risk of asthma exacerbation in terms of asthma-associated ERVs and HAs.Monitoring of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate accumulation and changes in its relative contents in biomass of the plant-growth-promoting bacteria Azospirillum brasilense (strains Sp7, Cd and Sp245) was performed during aerobic cultivation for 1 to 8 days at various initial concentrations of bound nitrogen (0.1 to 0.5 g∙L-1 NH4Cl) in the culture medium using in-situ transmission FTIR spectroscopy. A methodology has been proposed based on calculating band areas in FTIR spectra (instead of band intensities commonly used earlier) for determining relative contents of PHB in dry bacterial biomass, using the ester ν(C=O) band as a PHB marker (in the region 1750-1720 cm-1) and amide II band of cellular proteins (at ca. 1540 cm-1). Differences in PHB accumulation levels and their changes in the course of cultivation under various trophic stress for the three strains are discussed in relation to their different ecological niches which they occupy in the rhizosphere.Novel color-adjustable phosphors Sr8MgCe(PO4)7Tb3+ were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction was used to characterize the phase formation. The host shows blue emission under 310 nm excitation, ascribed to the 5d-4f transitions of Ce3+, while Sr8MgCe(PO4)7xTb3+ phosphors exhibit the emission band of Ce3+ as well as the characteristic lines of Tb3+ under 310 nm excitation. The color variation was observed as the concentration of Tb3+ changes. Moreover, the host sensitizes the emission of Tb3+ through the energy transfer process, and the mechanism is the dipole-dipole interaction. In addition, the emission of the host declines with the increase of the temperature while that of Tb3+ increases. This anti-thermal quenching behavior was interpreted by the configurational coordinate diagram. In addition, the temperature sensing behavior based on the emission peaks of the host and Tb was studied in the range 298-523 K, and the largest sensitivity is 0.379% K-1. The results indicate that Sr8MgCe(PO4)7Tb3+ is an attractive color-tunable phosphor for solid state lighting and temperature sensing.
As key components of DNA repair pathways, DNA ligases catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between DNA single strands, which function as a "glue" to seal the DNA breaks. DNA ligases play important roles in almost all the normal physiological processes for maintaining the stability of genomic DNA, but their functions in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are still unclear.

Immunoblotting was used to determine protein level. DNA damages were examined by comet assay and cell viability was quantified by MTT assay. Oseltamivir clinical trial The cell apoptosis and cell cycle were examined by flow cytometry. The LIG4 mRNA degradation was quantified by qRT-PCR after actinomycin D treatment. The interactions between miRNAs and LIG4 were predicted by TargetScan and confirmed by dual luciferase assay.

LIG1 and LIG4 were downregulated in RPL patients, while γH2AX level was upregulated. Knockdown LIG1 and LIG4 increased DNA damages in trophoblasts, which further induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1(SRSF1) was reduced in RPL patients and positively correlated with LIG1. Knockdown SRSF1 increased the degradation of LIG1 mRNA which further repressed LIG1 expression. MiR-383 was upregulated in RPL patients and repressed LIG4 expression through interacting with 3'UTR of LIG4 mRNA. The level of miR-383 was found negatively correlated with LIG4 protein level in trophoblasts from RPL patients.

LIG1 and LIG4 are downregulated in patients with RPL owing to abnormal RNA degradation and dysregulated miRNA expression. LIG1 and LIG4 downregulation might contribute to the pathophysiological processes of RPL by increasing DNA damages.

Although the mechanisms leading to pregnancy complications in women with AMA are not fully understood, it has been well established in the literature that offspring exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions in utero, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and/or intrauterine growth restriction during the early stages of development are subject to long-term health consequences. Additionally, angiogenic growth mediators, which drive vascular development of the placenta, are imbalanced in pregnancies with AMA. These same imbalances also occur in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and obesity. This review discusses the impact of AMA on pregnancy and offspring health, and the potential mechanistic role of placental angiogenic growth mediators in the development of pregnancy complications at AMA.
