文摘The issue of plastic pollutants has become a growing concern.Both microplastics(MPs)(particle size<5 mm)and nanoplastics(NPs)(particle size<1μm)can cause DNA damage,cytotoxicity,and oxidative stress in various organisms.The primary known impacts of microplastic/nanoplastic are observed in the liver and respiratory system,leading to hepatotoxicity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Although research on the effects of MPs and NPs on diabetes is still in its early stages,there are potential concerns.This editorial highlights the risk to diabetics from co-exposure to contaminants and MPs/NPs,supported by evidence from animal studies and the various chemical compositions of MPs/NPs.

文摘Harmful algal blooms(HABs)that are formed by cyanobacteria have become a serious issue worldwide in recent years.Cyanobacteria can release a type of secondary metabolites called cyanotoxins into aquatic systems which may indirectly or directly provide health risks to the environment and humans.Cyanotoxins provide some of the most powerful natural poisons including potent neurotoxins,hepatotoxins,cytotoxins,and endotoxins that may result in environmental health risks,and long-term morbidity and mortality to animals and humans.In this research,we used the chemcomputational tool Molinspiration for molecular property predictions,Pred-hERG 4.2 web software for cardiac toxicity prediction,and Pred-Skin 2.0 web software for predicting skin sensitization.We are predicting some toxicological aspects of cyanobacteria here using chemcomputational tools with the hypothesis that cyanotoxins are providing a risk to human health.We are using the tool Pred-hERG 4.2 to predict hERG channel blocking potential and the Pred-skin tool to predict skin sensitization due to cyanotoxins.The potential of anatoxin,ambigol,the microcystin group,and lyngbyatoxin A,lyngbyatoxin B,nodularin-R,and saxitoxin were predicted to cause skin sensitization in the final results(consensus model).Anatoxin-a and lyngbyatoxin were predicted to allow GI absorption and blood–brain barrier penetration.Among the 20 predicted cyanotoxins only aeruginosin 103-A,ambigol A,and ambigol were predicted by Pred-hERG 4.2 according to the applicability domain results as potential cardiotoxins with weak or moderate potency.Lyngbyatoxin shows activity through the GPCR ligand and protease,kinase,and enzyme inhibitor.

文摘Naznozymes have become an important alternative to natural enzymes for many sensing applications,due to their relatively high stability,easy synthesis,and cost-effectiveness.Nanozyme-based assays,especially paper-based assays are portable,and therefore,are convenient for use in field operations,especially in remote parts of the world.Decreasing water levels,depletion of water resources,and large scale mining create the need for rapid detection of heavy metal ions in various water samples.In comparison with traditional methods of heavy metal ion detection,nanozyme-based systems enable rapid and cheap screening on the spot with a very simple instrument such as a UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometer.The sensing mechanism of a nanozyme-based sensor is highly dependent on its surface properties.They often encounter selectivity issues,unlike natural enzyme-based assays.Therefore,different types of target recognition and inhibition/enhancement mechanisms have been reported to achieve high selectivity.In this short review,we mainly focus our discussion on various interaction of the heavy metal ions with the nanozyme,and their responses towards the catalytic activity in the sensing of target metal ions.

文摘Dothideomycetes comprise a highly diverse range of fungi characterized mainly by asci with two wall layers(bitunicate asci)and often with fissitunicate dehiscence.Many species are saprobes,with many asexual states comprising important plant pathogens.They are also endophytes,epiphytes,fungicolous,lichenized,or lichenicolous fungi.They occur in terrestrial,freshwater and marine habitats in almost every part of the world.We accept 105 families in Dothideomycetes with the new families Anteagloniaceae,Bambusicolaceae,Biatriosporaceae,Lichenoconiaceae,Muyocopronaceae,Paranectriellaceae,Roussoellaceae,Salsugineaceae,Seynesiopeltidaceae and Thyridariaceae introduced in this paper.Each family is provided with a description and notes,including asexual and asexual states,and if more than one genus is included,the type genus is also characterized.Each family is provided with at least one figure-plate,usually illustrating the type genus,a list of accepted genera,including asexual genera,and a key to these genera.A phylogenetic tree based on four gene combined analysis add support for 64 of the families and 22 orders,including the novel orders,Dyfrolomycetales,Lichenoconiales,Lichenotheliales,Monoblastiales,Natipusillales,Phaeotrichales and Strigulales.The paper is expected to provide a working document on Dothideomycetes which can be modified as new data comes to light.It is hoped that by illustrating types we provide stimulation and interest so that more work is carried out in this remarkable group of fungi.

文摘Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi,has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques,over the past 10–15 years,and continues to accelerate.Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic,and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended.New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera.The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011,has also caused changes in fungal generic names.In order to facilitate access to all important changes,it was desirable to compile these in a single document.The present article provides a list of generic names of Ascomycota(approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016),including those which are lichen-forming.Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of‘Ainsworth&Bisby’s Dictionary of the Fungi’in 2008 are provided.The notes include the number of accepted species,classification,type species(with location of the type material),culture availability,life-styles,distribution,and selected publications that have appeared since 2008.This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the"Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi"published in 2013,which will be developed into a list of protected generic names.This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists,and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi(NCF).The previously invalidly published generic names Barriopsis,Collophora(as Collophorina),Cryomyces,Dematiopleospora,Heterospora(as Heterosporicola),Lithophila,Palmomyces(as Palmaria)and Saxomyces are validated,as are two previously invalid family names,Bartaliniaceae and Wiesneriomycetaceae.Four species of Lalaria,which were invalidly published are transferred to Taphrina and validated as new combinations.Catenomycopsis Tibell&Constant.is reduced under Chaenothecopsis Vain.,while Dichomera Cooke is reduced under Botryosphaeria Ces.&De Not.(Art.59).
