Effect of small boat engine noise on hearing loss of fishermen and efficiency of small boat engine silencer by S. Sinworn, N. Viriyawattana

“…The sound level of the small boat's engine was then measured using a type I sound-level meter positioned at a 45-degree angle behind the engine, and at a distance of 0.5 meter.FINDINGS: The results indicated that evaluating the risks associated with being exposed to high levels of noise from boat engines had an impact on the auditory capacity of fishermen. The right ear was more severely damaged than the left at frequencies of 6,000 (23 people) and 8,000 (20 people) Hertz at sound levels of 85 decibels A and above. …”

TGF-β induces cholesterol accumulation to regulate the secretion of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles by Dorival Mendes Rodrigues-Junior, Chrysoula Tsirigoti, Konstantina Psatha, Dimitris Kletsas, Michalis Aivaliotis, Carl-Henrik Heldin, Aristidis Moustakas

“…EV-associated latent-TGF-β1 activated SMAD signaling, even when EV uptake was blocked by heparin, indicating competent signaling capacity from target cell surface receptors. MMP inhibitor or proteinase treatment blocked EV-mediated SMAD signaling, suggesting that EVs require MMP activity to release the active TGF-β from its latent complex, a function also linked to the EV-mediated transfer of pro-migratory potential and ability of cancer cells to survive in the presence of cytotoxic drugs. …”
