Abstract. Physicochemical properties of aerosol were investigated by analyzing the inorganic water soluble content in PM2.5 samples collected eastern part Po Valley (Italy). In this area EU limits for many air pollutants are frequently exceeded as a consequence local sources and regional-scale transport secondary precursors. Nine PM2.5-bound major ions (F−, Cl−, NO3−, SO42−, Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+) monitored over one year three sites categorized semi-rural background, urban background...
With the increasing use and incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs) into consumer products, screening for potential toxicity is necessary to ensure customer safety. NPs have been shown translocate bloodstream following inhalation ingestion, such studies demonstrate that liver an important organ accumulation. Silver (Ag) are highly relevant human exposure due their in food contact materials, dietary supplements, antibacterial wound treatments. Due large number different already used various...
Increased use of nanomaterials has raised concerns about the potential for undesirable human health and environmental effects. Releases into air may occur and, therefore, inhalation route is specific interest. Here we tested copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) after repeated as hazard data this material exposure currently lacking risk assessment.Rats were exposed nose-only to a single concentration by varying time, different dose levels obtained (C × T protocol). The expressed 6...
Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) and copper carbonate (Cu2CO3(OH)2 NPs have applications as antimicrobial agents wood preservatives: an application that may lead to oral ingestion via hand mouth transfer. Rats were exposed by gavage CuO Cu2CO3(OH)2 for five consecutive days with doses from 1 512 mg/kg 4 128 per day, respectively, toxicity was evaluated at 6 26. Both induced changes in hematology parameters, well clinical chemistry markers (e.g. increased alanine aminotransferase, ALT)...
Heteroaggregation of engineered nanoparticles with suspended particulate matter in theory and practice: a roadmap for understanding determining attachment efficiencies.
Efficacy of epidural local anesthetics plus steroids for the treatment cervicobrachial pain is uncertain.A prospective study randomized 160 patients with resistant to conventional therapy. Patients were divided into 4 groups on basis time between onset and initiation: group A, 40 15 30 days; B, from 31 60 C, patients, 61 180 D, >180 days. each receive an block bupivacaine methylprednisolone at intervals 5 days (Single injection) or continuous every 6, 12, 24 hours (Continuos epidural). The...
<b>Background:</b> Illness severity scores are increasingly used for risk adjustment in clinical research and quality assessment. Recently, a simplified version of the score neonatal acute physiology (SNAPPE-II) revised index babies (CRIB-II) have been published. <b>Aim:</b> To compare discriminatory ability goodness fit CRIB, CRIB-II, SNAPPE-II cohort neonates < 1500 g birth weight (VLBWI). <b>Methods:</b> Data from 720 VLBWI, admitted to 12 units Lombardy (Northern Italy)...
Abstract Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) are one of the most widespread-engineered particles in use for drug delivery, cosmetics and electronics. However, TiO NP safety is still an open issue, even ethical reasons. In this work, we investigated sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus immune cell model as a proxy to humans , elucidate potential pathway that can be involved persistent NP-immune interaction vivo . Morphology, phagocytic ability, changes activation/inactivation few...
We studied the effects of preconceptional exposure to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs): mature, female C57BL/6J mice were intratracheally instilled with 67μg NM-400 MWCNT, and following day co-housed mature males, in breeding pairs. Time delivery first litter, litter parameters, maternal inflammation histopathology lung liver recorded. In male offspring, locomotor activity, startle response, daily sperm production (DSP) assessed. dams, bore evidence MWCNT when assessed 6 weeks 4 months...
Although several studies have shown that immune cells stimulated by in vitro stress are capable to produce neurotrophins, there is still no evidence whether physiological stress, such as exercise, can modulate the vivo levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs).This work investigated acute exercise modulates expression BDNF, pro-BDNF, and p75(NTR) PBMCs 10 healthy young men who performed a cycling incremental test exhaustion (MAX) or exercised at...
The Tai–Kadai (TK) language family is thought to have originated in southern China and spread Thailand Laos, but it not clear if TK languages by demic diffusion (i.e., a migration of people from China) or cultural diffusion, with native Austroasiatic (AA) speakers switching languages. To address this other questions, we obtained 1234 complete mtDNA genome sequences 51 AA groups Laos. We find high genetic heterogeneity across the region, 212 different haplogroups, significant differentiation...
With the advance in material science and need to diversify market applications, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are modified by different surface coatings. However, how these modifications influence effects of AgNPs on human health is still largely unknown. We have evaluated uptake, toxicity pharmacokinetics coated with citrate, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrolidone branched polyethyleneimine (Citrate AgNPs, PEG PVP BPEI respectively). Our results demonstrated that depends intracellular...
Tai-Kadai (TK) is one of the major language families in Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA), with a concentration area Thailand and Laos. Our previous study 1234 mtDNA genome sequences supported demic diffusion scenario spread TK languages from southern China to Laos as well northern northeastern Thailand. Here we add an additional 560 genomes 22 groups, focus on TK-speaking central Thai people Sino-Tibetan speaking Karen. We find extensive diversity, including 62 haplogroups not reported...
The human demographic history of Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) has not been well studied; in particular, there have very few sequence-based studies variation the male-specific portions Y chromosome (MSY). Here, we report new MSY sequences ∼2.3 mB from 914 males and combine these with previous data for a total 928 belonging to 59 populations Thailand Laos who speak languages three major families: Austroasiatic, Tai-Kadai, Sino-Tibetan. Among 92 haplogroups, two main lineages (O1b1a1a*...
