Article Abstract
Background: Oxidative stress is conjectured to be related to many diseases. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that radiofrequency fields may induce oxidative stress in various cell types and thereby compromise human and animal health. This systematic review (SR) aims to summarize and evaluate the literature related to this hypothesis.
Objectives: The main objective of this SR is to evaluate the associations between the exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and oxidative stress in experimental models (in vivo and in vitro).
Methods: The SR framework has been developed following the guidelines established in the WHO Handbook for Guideline Development and the Handbook for Conducting a Literature-Based Health Assessment). We will include controlled in vivo and in vitro laboratory studies that assess the effects of an exposure to RF-EMF on valid markers for oxidative stress compared to no or sham exposure. The protocol is registered in PROSPERO. We will search the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and the EMF-Portal. The reference lists of included studies and retrieved review articles will also be manually searched.
Study Appraisal And Synthesis Method: Data will be extracted according to a pre-defined set of forms developed in the DistillerSR online software and synthesized in a meta-analysis when studies are judged sufficiently similar to be combined. If a meta-analysis is not possible, we will describe the effects of the exposure in a narrative way.
Risk Of Bias: The risk of bias will be assessed with the NTP/OHAT risk of bias rating tool for human and animal studies. We will use GRADE to assess the certainty of the conclusions (high, moderate, low, or inadequate) regarding the association between radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and oxidative stress.
Funding: This work was funded by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Registration: The protocol was registered on the PROSPERO webpage on July 8, 2021.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Ambroxol (AMB), a common expectorant, enters aquatic environments via wastewater, yet its ecological risks remain unclear. Under UV exposure (15 mJ·cm, λ = 185-400 nm), AMB undergoes photolysis, among the photoproducts, 4-((2-amino-3-bromobenzyl)amino) cyclohexanol (P1) and 2-amino-3,5-dibromobenzaldehyde (DBA) are major species, comprising over 50% of the total photoproduct peak area at the photolytic plateau. Acute toxicity tests with AMB, P1, and DBA in four aquatic species at different trophic levels revealed: the highest sensitivity in (LC = 0.

Background And Aims: Adolescent hypertension is a growing public health concern, with oxidative stress emerging as a pivotal factor in its development. Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) consists of 20 components, including 16 nutrients (such as carotenoids, riboflavin, copper, etc.) and 4 lifestyle factors (physical activity, BMI, alcohol consumption, and smoking), with higher scores indicating increased exposure to antioxidants.

The failure of the therapeutic administration of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzymes to prevent oxidative stress has fostered the development of metal complexes that are capable of mimicking their activity. In the present work, two new pyridine azacyclophane ligands capable of coordinating Cu and Fe to give rise to mimetics with high activities toward disproportionation of the superoxide anion or hydrogen peroxide, depending on the metal ion, have been prepared. Although the Cu complexes have some of the highest SOD activities reported to date, they are completely inactive toward HO disproportionation.
