Article Abstract

The soil contaminated with heavy metals requires special attention due to its adverse effects on health of human and animals. The effects of simulated acid rain with different pH values on transport of heavy metal in contaminated soil of Phyllostachys pubescens forest were studied by indoor leaching column test. The results revealed that particle size of soil was mainly concentrated in range of more than 50 μm. The content of heavy metals in particles less than 50 μm was relatively high. The Pb and Zn were mainly adsorbed on colloidal particles and were transported during simulated acid rain. The release of Fe and Al increased the release of particulate matter in soil leaching solution. The mobility of Zn was increased at low pH.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are responsible for the oxidative truncation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The products of these reactions have been implicated in many diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis. As increasing attention is directed toward these oxidized phospholipids (oxPLs), higher throughput methods are needed to examine interactions between oxPLs and scavenger receptors in the immune system.

Background: Prostate cancer (PRAD) is a common malignancy in men, and exposure to soil pollutants may contribute to its development. And exposure to soil pollutant has been linked to its development, as well as to other diseases including cardiovascular disorders, neurological conditions, and additional cancers.

Methods: This study integrates network toxicology, machine learning, and advanced technologies to investigate the mechanisms through which soil pollutants affect prostate cancer.

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, anthocyanins, and urolithins, which contribute to its broad pharmacological potential. This review summarizes evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as clinical studies, highlighting pomegranate's therapeutic effects in inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, microbial infections, and skin conditions. Mechanistic insights show modulation of pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2).
