Mitigation of environmental impacts in ornamental rock and limestone aggregate quarries in arid and semi-arid areas by M.A. Peñaranda Barba, V. Alarcón Martínez, I. Gómez Lucas, J. Navarro Pedreño

“…FINDINGS: According to the environmental impact assessment studies analysed, the importance of the most significant environmental impacts has been calculated, indicating whether the impacts are critical, severe, moderate or compatible, and based on it, preventive and corrective measures are proposed together in an impact mitigation management system based in flow charts that will serve to more easily apply and control these measures, in order to prevent them from causing significant or irreversible damage to the environment. Analysing these measures, it has been observed that 90% of the measures applied to control the different negative environmental factors in this type of quarry are the same.CONCLUSION: Open-pit mining extraction systems have a series of similar characteristics that allow a systematic approach to be established when analysing the impacts. …”

Astaxanthin-loaded brain-permeable liposomes for Parkinson’s disease treatment via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses by Thai-Duong Nguyen, Shristi Khanal, Eunhee Lee, Jinsol Choi, Ganesh Bohara, Nikesh Rimal, Dong-Young Choi, Soyeun Park

“…In a 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson’s disease mouse model, treatment with Lf-ASX-LPs resulted in 5.0-, 3.1-, and 5.6-fold increases in dopamine levels, TH+ fiber density, and TH+ neurons, respectively, restoring dopaminergic neuron damage. The developed formulation also alleviated behavioral impairment and neuroinflammation, reducing astrocyte and microglial activation in the striatum and substantia nigra of the MPTP-treated animals. …”
