New insights on physicochemical features and toxicological outcome provided from incineration of nanocomposites by Claire Longuet, Carine Chivas-Joly, Nora Lambeng, Valérie Forest, Lara Leclerc, Gwendoline Sarry, Jérémie Pourchez, José-Marie Lopez-Cuesta

“…A specific management of nanocomposites end-of-life should be implemented as recommended by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in order to limit nanoparticles dissemination by landfilling and particularly in incineration facilities where their presence is significantly increasing. The aim of our study was to expand the current knowledge of the partition of nanowaste, mainly in case of nanocomposites mixture, and the potential synergetic or antagonistic impact of potential hazardous nanowastes on the toxicological profile. …”

Gut opportunistic pathogens contribute to high-altitude pulmonary edema by elevating lysophosphatidylcholines and inducing inflammation by Xianduo Sun, Gaosheng Hu, Yuting Li, Wenjing Li, Yong Wang, Hui Yan, Guoqing Long, Long Zhao, Anhua Wang, Jingming Jia

“…In conclusion, this study describes a gut microbiota-LPCs/inflammation-HAPE axis, an important new insight into HAPE that will help open avenues for prevention and treatment approaches.IMPORTANCEThe role of the gut microbiota in high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is currently unknown. This study found that intestinal Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli contribute to HAPE by inducing inflammation and increasing lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) levels under hypoxic conditions. …”
