The Ginkgo biloba Extract Reverses the Renal Effects of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles in Adult Male Rats by Carlos Enrique Escárcega-González, Irma Guadalupe Reynoso-Andeola, Fernando Jaramillo-Juárez, Haydée Martínez-Ruvalcaba, Francisco A. Posadas del Rio

“…The GbE protected renal cells against the effects of TiO2-NPs because it reversed the increased activity of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase and the enzymatic activity of dipeptidylaminopeptidase IV at all times tested (0–5, 5–24, 24–48, and 48–72 h). Also it reversed the glucosuria, hypernatriuria, and urine osmolarity at three times tested (5–24, 24–48, and 48–72). …”

Elevation-dependent shift of landslide activity in mountain permafrost regions of the Qilian Mountains by Jie Chen, Jing Zhang, Tong-Hua Wu, Lin Liu, Fan-Yu Zhang, Jun-Ming Hao, Ling-Cao Huang, Xiao-Dong Wu, Peng-Ling Wang, Zhuo-Xuan Xia, Xiao-Fan Zhu, Pei-Qing Lou

“…While previous studies have linked permafrost degradation to slope instability, the elevation-dependent effects of this degradation on landslide occurrences in the high-mountain regions of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) remain poorly understood, particularly concerning their spatial distribution and timing. This study addresses this gap by investigating the distribution and timing of landslides in the Babao River catchment, located in the southeastern Qilian Mountains of the northeastern QTP. …”

AEOS: Transport of Metals from Minihalos following Population III Stellar Feedback by Jennifer Mead, Kaley Brauer, Greg L. Bryan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low, Alexander P. Ji, John H. Wise, Andrew Emerick, Eric P. Andersson, Anna Frebel, Benoit Côté

“…This prevents self-enrichment and results in a nonmonotonic increase in metallicity at early times. Most minihalos ( M _dm  ≳ 10 ^5 M _⊙ ) do not retain significant fractions of the yields produced within their virial radii until they have grown to halo masses of M _dm  ≳ 10 ^7 M _⊙ . …”
