“…The microvasculature plays a significant role in buffering fluctuations in blood pressure and blood flow to maintain a dynamic equilibrium. It has been hypothesized that stressors of ambient noise and sleep deprivation have adverse effects on human vascular health . Noise pollution can cause high‐stress levels, sleep disturbances, among other harmful effects.…”

The Barker Hypothesis states change to the maternal environment may have significant impacts on fetal development, setting the stage for adult disease to occur. The development of the materno-fetal vasculature during implantation and maintenance during pregnancy is extremely precise, yet dynamic. Delays or dysfunction in the orchestration of anatomical remodeling, maintenance of blood pressure, or responsiveness to metabolic demand may have severe consequences to the developing fetus. While these intermissions may not be fatal to the developing fetus, an interruption, reduction, or an inability to meet fetal demand of blood flow during crucial stages of development may pre-dispose young to disease later in life. Maternal inability to meet fetal demand can be attributed to improper placental development and vascular support through morphological change or physiological function will significantly limit nutrient delivery and waste exchange to the developing fetus. Therefore, we present an overview of the uteroplacental vascular network, maternal cardiovascular adaptations that occur during pregnancy, placental blood flow, and common maternal comorbidities and/or exposures that may perturb maternal homeostasis and affect fetal development. Overall, we examine uterine microvasculature pathophysiology contributing to a hostile gestational environment and fetal predisposition to disease as it relates to the Barker Hypothesis.

Objective To evaluate the immunotoxicity and effects of noise and/or low‐concentration carbon monoxide (CO) exposure on immune organs and immune functions in rats. Methods Male Wistar rats exposed to 98 dB(A) white noise and/or 100 ppm CO 4 h/d for 30 d were used to determine the pathological changes in the thymus and spleen, and variations in leukocyte counts, inflammatory factors, and immunoglobulin (Ig) concentrations. Results The boundaries of the cortex and medulla of the thymus were unclear following noise and combined exposure. The pathological changes in spleen after CO and combined exposure included blurred boundaries of red‐pulp and white‐pulp, disappearance of normal splenic nodules and neutrophil infiltration. After exposure to noise and in combination, leukocyte and lymphocyte counts decreased significantly. After exposure to low‐concentration CO and in combination, serum IgM and IgG levels decreased significantly, but the levels of tumor necrosis factor‐α and interferon‐γ levels increased significantly. Eosinophils and IgA levels decreased significantly following exposure to noise and/or low concentration of CO, while the level of interleukin‐1 increased significantly. Monocytes increased significantly only under noise or CO exposure, but not under combined exposure. Conclusions Noise and/or low‐concentration CO exposure may suppress innate and adaptive immune functions and induce inflammatory responses. Noise exposure mainly affected the innate immune function of rats, whereas low‐concentration CO exposure mainly affected adaptive immune functions. Combined exposure presented higher immunotoxicity than noise or CO alone, suggesting that exposure to noise and low‐concentration CO in the living and working environments can affect the immune system.

Acoustic materials embed with inorganic fillers in viscoelastic polymers have promising applications in industrial settings. However, optimizing the sound insulation of composites by adjusting the microstructure of nanofillers remains a challenge. In this study, we synthesize adjustable hollow hierarchical Zeolite Socony Mobil #5 (ZSM-5) which can be used as nanofillers in a sound insulation nanocomposite based on the polyacrylate (PA). The results show that the nanocomposites with 0.5 wt% hierarchical hollow ZSM-5 can increase the sound transmission loss (STL) by 33.4%. The maximum STL value reaches as high as 40 dB. The damping properties of the nanocomposites were also improved by adding ZSM-5 into the PA matrix. When the loading of hollow ZSM-5 is 0.5 wt%, the storage modulus increased by 44%, as high as 4486.7 MPa. This strategy opens up a promising way for the sound insulation of composites based on controllable inorganic nanofillers.controllable filler, hierarchical hollow zeolite, sound insulator, viscoelastic | INTRODUCTIONNoise can greatly influence human health and the environment as a result of the growth of modern industrial and transportation systems. The application of sound insulation materials is widely regarded as an effective method to reduce noise. [1][2][3] The lightweight and high performance of polymeric materials are designed to address the typically conflicting engineering requirements encountered in many situations compare to traditional high quality, high density sound insulation materials such as reinforced concrete walls, 4,5 gypsum boards, 6 wood
