Abstract

Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are an emerging class of tobacco goods that claim to have lower health risks than those of smoking combustible tobacco products. In this study, we exposed human lung epithelial cell lines to extracts prepared from HTP aerosols and combustible cigarette smoke to compare cytotoxicity. We focused on the effects of aldehydes present in the aerosols of HTPs at levels close to those in combustible cigarette smoke. Significant toxicity was confirmed for the HTP extract, albeit to a lesser extent than that with the combustible cigarette extract. When redox balance was evaluated by the oxidative loss of low-molecular-weight thiols in the cells, we found that total glutathione (GSH) contents and low-molecular-weight thiol levels were significantly decreased after exposure to the aerosol extract of HTPs. These results indicated that GSH is rapidly consumed during the detoxification of xenobiotics, such as aldehydes from tobacco extracts. Accordingly, exposure to the aerosol extract of HTPs resulted in the enhanced carbonylation of many proteins. In a simple comparison, the results for HTPs were significantly different from those obtained with combustible cigarette smoke, suggesting reduced toxicity of HTPs. However, we found significant and harmful effects after exposing lung epithelial cells to the aerosol extract of HTPs. Thus, a further comprehensive study is needed to clarify the lung damage induced via the long-term inhalation of aerosols from HTPs. [Display omitted] • Aerosol extract of heated tobacco product (HTP) is cytotoxic to lung epithelial cell. • Total GSH contents were drastically decreased by exposure to aerosol extract of HTPs. • Exposure to aerosol extract of HTPs causes protein carbonylation in human lung cells.

Abstract

Electron reemission following photoelectron recapture due to post-collision interaction has been studied at 0.7 eV the inner-shell photoionization threshold of water molecules, using a multi-electron coincidence method. Electron reemissions after single Auger decay occur from O and OH fragments which are produced by the dissociations of high-n Rydberg H2O+ states populated through photoelectron recapture. In addition, electron reemissions after double Auger decay are identified in triple coincidence events, where autoionization lines from O and O+ fragments are observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Abstract Purpose The current definition of menstrual cycle length in a Japanese woman is different from those of WHO definition, and the original data are outdated. We aimed to calculate the distribution of follicular and luteal phases length in modern Japanese women with various menstrual cycles. Methods This study determined the lengths of the follicular and luteal phases of Japanese women using basal body temperature data collected via a smartphone application from 2015 to 2019, and the data were analyzed using the Sensiplan method. Over 9 million temperature readings from more than 80 000 participants were analyzed. Results The mean duration of the low‐temperature (follicular) phase averaged 17.1 days and was shorter among participants aged 40–49 years. The mean duration of the high‐temperature (luteal) phase was 11.8 days. The variance and maximum‐minimum difference of the length of the low temperature period were significant in women under 35 years old than women aged more than 35 years. Conclusions The shortening of the follicular phase in women aged 40–49 years implied a relationship with the rapid decline of ovarian reserve in these women, and the age 35 years old was turning point of ovulatory function.
