- Abstract
Backgrounds: Freezing of gait (FOG) and cognitive impairment are serious symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Understanding the association between FOG and cognition may help formulate specific interventions for PD individuals., Objectives: We aimed to investigate the associations of cognitive impairment in different domains with FOG status using multiple neuropsychological tests., Methods: Two cohorts including 691 and 104 participants were recruited from Parkinson's progression markers initiative (PPMI) and central China, respectively. All participants underwent FOG assessment and neuropsychological tests, and 595 individuals from PPMI and 51 from central China were enrolled for longitudinal observation. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between cognition and FOG status were evaluated using multivariable-adjusted models., Results: Worse cognitive performances were observed in patients with FOG compared to those without FOG in both cohorts (β = - 0.020, p < 0.001) using multivariate-adjusted models. Moreover, patients with progressive FOG during follow-up manifested more serious cognitive declines (HR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.07-1.80). The FOG was mainly associated with the decline of executive, attention, and orientation. Furthermore, FOG was associated with higher levels of cognition-related biomarkers including T-tau, P-tau, and NfL in cerebrospinal fluid (p < 0.050)., Conclusions: FOG is a risk factor for cognitive decline in PD, which emphasizes the need for early detection and monitoring of cognitive changes and interventions on cognitive impairments in PD patients with FOG., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Alkyl-substituted PAHs may be present in certain petroleum-derived products and in the environment and may eventually end up in consumer products, such as foodstuffs, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Safety concerns over possible exposure to alkylated PAHs have emerged. Bioactivation is a prerequisite for the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of PAHs and has been extensively studied for non-substituted PAHs, while data on the bioactivation of alkyl-substituted PAHs are scarce. The present study investigated the effect of alkyl substitution on the CYP 450-mediated metabolism of phenanthrene and eight of its alkylated congeners by quantifying metabolite formation in rat and human liver microsomal incubations. Furthermore, the mutagenicity of four selected methylated phenanthrenes was compared to that of phenanthrene using the Ames test. The obtained results support the hypothesis that alkyl substitution shifts the oxidative metabolism from the aromatic ring to the alkyl side chain. Increasing the length of the alkyl chain reduced overall metabolism with metabolic conversion for 1-n-dodecyl-phenanthrene (C12) being negligible. 1- and 9-methyl-phenanthrene, in which the methyl group generates an additional bay region-like structural motif, showed mutagenicity toward Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA 100, whereas phenanthrene and also 2- and 3-methyl-phenanthrene, without such an additional bay region-like structural motif, tested negative. It is concluded that the position of the alkylation affects the metabolism and resulting mutagenicity of phenanthrene with the mutagenicity increasing in cases where the alkyl substituent creates an additional bay region-like structural motif, in spite of the extra possibilities for side chain oxidation., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Developmental toxicity testing is an animal-intensive endpoints in toxicity testing and calls for animal-free alternatives. Previous studies showed the applicability of an in vitro-in silico approach for predicting developmental toxicity of a range of compounds, based on data from the mouse embryonic stem cell test (EST) combined with physiologically based kinetic (PBK) modelling facilitated reverse dosimetry. In the current study, the use of this approach for predicting developmental toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was evaluated, using benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) as a model compound. A rat PBK model of BaP was developed to simulate the kinetics of its main metabolite 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene (3-OHBaP), shown previously to be responsible for the developmental toxicity of BaP. Comparison to in vivo kinetic data showed that the model adequately predicted BaP and 3-OHBaP blood concentrations in the rat. Using this PBK model and reverse dosimetry, a concentration-response curve for 3-OHBaP obtained in the EST was translated into an in vivo dose-response curve for developmental toxicity of BaP in rats upon single or repeated dose exposure. The predicted half maximal effect doses (ED
50 ) amounted to 67 and 45 mg/kg bw being comparable to the ED50 derived from the in vivo dose-response data reported for BaP in the literature, of 29 mg/kg bw. The present study provides a proof of principle of applying this in vitro-in silico approach for evaluating developmental toxicity of BaP and may provide a promising strategy for predicting the developmental toxicity of related PAHs, without the need for extensive animal testing., (© 2021.
