Adsorptive removal of bisphenol-A (BPA) using a MOF, Cr-benzenedicarboxylate (MIL-53), has been studied to understand the applicability MOFs for hazardous endocrine disturbing chemicals from water. MIL-53 shows very fast adsorption in an hour and capacity is higher than that activated carbon. Importantly, BPA over favorable especially at low concentrations BPA. Therefore, such as can be one adsorbents may used adsorptive contaminated
Considering the high morbidity and mortality of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with malignancy, they are regarded as a priority for COVID-19 vaccination. However, general vaccine uptake rates among cancer known to be lower than their healthy counterparts. Thus, we aimed investigate attitude acceptance identify predictive factors vaccination that could modified increase rates, via paper-based survey (58 items over six domains). A total 1001 participated this nationwide,...
Recent studies suggest that high pre-diagnostic serum concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) might result in the development cancers general population. However, association between POP and lung cancer risk has not been studied. Here, we evaluated associations low-dose environmental exposure to POPs using samples a case-cohort study based on population-based prospective cohort. We conducted Korean National Cancer Center Community Cohort, from which included 118 cases 252...
The sirtuins (SIRTs), a family of NAD + -dependent class III histone deacetylase, are involved in various biological processes including cell survival, division, senescence, and metabolism via activation the stress-response pathway.Recently, inhibition SIRTs has been considered promising anticancer strategy, but their precise mechanisms action not well understood.In particular, relevance p53 to SIRT-induced effects fully elucidated.We investigated novel SIRT inhibitor, MHY2256, its efficacy...
We investigated the independent and combined effects of alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking metabolic syndrome on abnormal liver function, i.e., elevation serum enzyme levels. Participants a Korean population-based prospective cohort aged ≥30 years without disease, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases were included. Information status, syndrome, defined as per criteria Adult Treatment Panel III, applied to evaluate their impact levels aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine (ALT),...
Abstract The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index was suggested as a novel reliable surrogate marker for insulin resistance and related cardiovascular-metabolic diseases. We aimed to evaluate the association between TyG environmental exposure lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd). A total of 9645 adults who enrolled in Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2005, 2008–2013, 2016 were included. Fasting plasma levels used calculate index. Multivariate logistic regression model estimate...
Little attention has been paid to levels of trust in online sources health information. The objective this study was investigate various information (interpersonal channels, traditional media, and Internet media), examine the predictors available on Internet.A questionnaire administered 1,300 people (20 years age or older), evaluating information.The highest level expressed regarding interpersonal with hospital physicians regarded as most trusted source income showed an association sources....
To develop effective intervention programmes to control Clonorchis sinensis infection, three interventions were evaluated in a clonorchiasis-endemic area of Korea.Four thousand two hundred and sixty-seven voluntary participants Sancheong county tested at baseline follow-up surveys after 1 3 years. Faecal samples examined for C. eggs using the Kato-Katz method. Participants divided into groups by areas year recruited: national prevention programme only (mass health campaign praziquantel...
Abstract The prevalence of stress and distress has been increasing being important public health issues; nevertheless, few studies have assessed the factors associated at population level. This study identified how they differentially influence distress. A total 35,105 individuals aged 19 years older using nationally representative data from Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (2007–2012) were included in study. Subjects differentiated by gender psychological state (no...
Toluene is classified as a possible carcinogen, but its role on thyroid cancer not well established. Vehicle emissions are one of the largest contributed sources toluene, no studies evaluating influence living near road association between toluene and incidence have been reported. Therefore, we examined potential associations blood concentrations risk cancer, an effect modification road. We conducted prospective cohort study using data from South Korean "Monitoring Project for Exposure to...
In the present study, antiproliferative effects of ethanol extract Artemisia princeps Pampanini (EAPP) and mechanism involved were investigated. Of various cancer cells examined, human neuroblastoma A172 most sensitive to EAPP, their proliferation was dose- time-dependently inhibited by EAPP. DNA flow cytometry analysis indicated that EAPP notably induced G1 phase arrest in cells. cycle-related proteins expressions cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, CDK4, CDK6 cyclin D1, D2, D3 found be...
