Article Abstract

Tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) has been received great concerns because of its increasing presence in various environmental compartments and toxicity. In the present study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of TCEP (0.2, 2, 20, 200 μg/L) from 3 to 120 h post-fertilization (hpf). The results showed that TCEP exposure (20, 200 μg/L) led to developmental toxicity including decreased body length and delay of hatching. Treatment with TCEP significantly decreased whole-body thyroxine (T4) levels and mRNA level of thyroglobulin (tg), and enhanced transcriptions of genes sodium/iodide symporter (nis), thyroid hormone receptor α (trα) and ugt1ab involved in thyroid synthesis and metabolism, respectively. Additionally, TCEP altered the transcription of α1-tubulin, gap43 and mbp related to nervous system development, even at relatively low concentrations. Overall, our results revealed that TCEP exposure can lead to developmental toxicity, thyroid endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity on early developmental stages of zebrafish.

Importance: Previous studies have suggested that social participation helps prevent depression among older adults. However, evidence is lacking about whether the preventive benefits vary among individuals and who would benefit most.

Objective: To examine the sociodemographic, behavioral, and health-related heterogeneity in the association between social participation and depressive symptoms among older adults and to identify the individual characteristics among older adults expected to benefit the most from social participation.

The environmental impact of Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP), arising from tire-road friction, has raised significant concerns. Like microplastics, TRWP contaminate air, water, and soil, with considerable annual emissions and runoff into freshwater ecosystems. Among TRWP compounds, 6PPD-Q, leached from tire particles, shows varying toxicity across species, notably affecting fish and invertebrates.

Fetal standard plane detection is essential in prenatal care, enabling accurate assessment of fetal development and early identification of potential anomalies. Despite significant advancements in machine learning (ML) in this domain, its integration into clinical workflows remains limited-primarily due to the lack of standardized, end-to-end operational frameworks. To address this gap, we introduce FetalMLOps, the first comprehensive MLOps framework specifically designed for fetal ultrasound imaging.
