Microcystin-producing Microcystis bloom is a severe water problem in the world. Some reports indicate that chronic exposure to microcystin may result liver damage adults, but information on effects children limited.We investigated relationship between and children.We measured concentrations drinking aquatic food (carp duck) from two lakes four wells. Participants were 1,322 7-15 years of age who obtained one tested sources, completed questionnaires, provided blood samples for serum enzymes...

Data concerning the effects of phthalate exposure on preterm delivery and fetal growth are limited in humans. In this paper, we assessed relationship between 15 levels cord blood parameters 207 Chinese women going into labor. Exposure to phthalates except DCHP was associated with gestational age reduction (p<0.05). There were associations parameters, many which disappeared when analyses adjusted for age, especially male infants (Only DEEP birth weight; DEP, DNHP, BBP, DNP abdominal...

Microcystins have been reported to be carcinogenic by animal and cell experimentation, but there are no data on the linkage between serum microcystins hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in humans. We conducted a clinical case-control study investigate association HCC after controlling several known factors, such as hepatitis B virus, alcohol, aflatoxin. From December 2013 May 2016, 214 patients newly diagnosed with along controls (frequency-matched age sex) were recruited from three...

Although the nephrotoxicity of microcystin and aflatoxin has been observed in animal clinical cases, few population data are available. We conducted a cross-sectional study Southwest China to investigate association renal function indicators (RFIs, including BUN, SCr, eGFR) with exposure 5493 members general population. Microcystin-LR levels water aquatic products B1 daily foods were measured by ELISA, individual estimated intake (EDI) was assessed on basis measurement questionnaire. found...

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactorial chronic lung disease of premature infants. BPD can be attributed to the dysregulation normal development due ventilation and oxygen toxicity, resulting in pathologic complications impaired alveolarization vascularization. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally implicated diverse biological processes diseases. The objectives this study identify changed miRNAs their target genes...

Three liver hazards, two confirmed-hepatitis B virus (HBV) and aflatoxin (AFB), one rarely studied in populations-microcystin (MC), simultaneously exist tropical humid areas; however, there are no epidemiological data on their risks the same population. We conducted a community-based cross-sectional survey among 5493 adults rural towns statistically analyzed comparative combinative effects of three factors after detecting HBsAg HBV DNA titers, determining estimated daily intakes (EDIs) AFB1...

To investigate whether microcystin-LR (MC-LR) influences children's cognitive function and memory ability, we measured serum MC-LR whole blood lead levels in 697 primary students, collected their academic neurobehavioral test scores. The median of was 0.80 µg/L (the value below the limit detection to 1.67 µg/L). shapes associations (cut-point: 0.95 µg/L) with scores on achievements, digit symbol substitution long-term were parabolic curves. Logistic regression analysis showed that at...
