Article Abstract
Besides cell death, nanoparticles (Nps) can induce other cellular responses such as inflammation. The potential immune response mediated by the exposure of human lymphoid cells to metal oxide Nps (moNps) was characterized using four different moNps (CeO, TiO, AlO, and ZnO) to study the three most relevant mitogen-activated protein kinase subfamilies and the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of the activated B-cell inhibitor, IκBα, as well as the expression of several genes by immune cells incubated with these Nps. The moNps activated different signaling pathways and altered the gene expression in human lymphocyte cells. The ZnO Nps were the most active and the release of Zn ions was the main mechanism of toxicity. CeO Nps induced the smallest changes in gene expression and in the IκBα protein. The effects of the particles were strongly dependent on the type and concentration of the Nps and on the cell activation status prior to Np exposure.

Surveillance monitoring of shallow groundwater revealed that redox conditions can vary on a small scale. Therefore, the aim of this study was to categorize redox conditions in the groundwater of Lower Saxony, Germany, and to analyze the spatial distribution and trends of parameters related to redox conditions during surveillance monitoring from 1957 to 2015 in Lower Saxony, Germany. Methodically, trends were considered by applying the Mann-Kendall test and redox conditions of groundwater were classified according to the scheme of Jurgens et al.

The decarboxylative amination of aryl carboxylic acids with low toxicity, structural diversity, and ready availability remains relatively underexplored. Current protocols typically require the use of overstoichiometric metal additives and/or strong oxidants as well as high reaction temperatures. Herein we report decarboxylative amination of aryl carboxylic acids with pyrazoles via synergistic organic-photoredox and copper catalysis under mild conditions, employing air as a green oxidant.
