Four kinds of solvent extracts from three Chinese barley varieties (Ken-3, KA4B, and Gan-3) were used to examine the effects extraction mixtures on antioxidant activity evaluation their capacity selectivity for free phenolic compounds in through radical scavenging activity, reducing power metal chelating individual total contents. Results showed that had significant impacts estimation, as well different barley. The highest DPPH• ABTS•+ activities found 80% acetone extracts, whereas strongest...
Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a significant health issue in Chinese megacities. However, little information available regarding the PM ‐bound toxic organics, especially their sources, atmospheric transformations, and implications. In this study, we assessed levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) nitrated, hydroxylated, oxygenated derivatives (i.e., NPAHs, OHPAHs, OPAHs, respectively) collected Beijing over 1 year period. The median concentration 23 PAHs, 15 16 7...
A decreased ability to repair oxidative DNA damage, due melatonin suppression, is a compelling mechanism by which night shift workers are at an increased risk of cancer. We sought determine if supplementation would improve damage among workers. conducted parallel-arm randomised placebo-controlled trial 40 Supplements were consumed before engaging in day sleep over 4-week period. All urine excreted during representative and work period the intervention was collected for measurement...
Abstract. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in South China is one of the most economically developed regions China, but it also noted for its severe air pollution due to industrial/metropolitan emissions. In order continuously improve understanding and quantification this region, an intensive campaign was executed PRD during October–November 2008. Here, we report analyze Aerodyne High-Resolution Aerosol Mass Spectrometer measurements at Kaiping, a rural site downwind highly-polluted central...
Despite the growing public interest in perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), very few studies have reported sources and pathways of human exposure to these China. In this study, concentrations 10 PFCs were measured blood, water (tap surface water), freshwater fish, seafood samples collected from On basis data, we calculated daily intakes PFCs, regional differences exposures, potential risks associated with ingestion diet, drinking water, indoor dust for Chinese population. Perfluorooctane...
Although levels of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in human maternal neonatal blood have been widely reported the literature, relationship maternal-fetal transmission PFASs with carbon chain length is presently not well understood. In this study, 11 were analyzed matched samples, including only (MB, n = 31) cord (CB, 30), but also placenta (n 29) amniotic fluid (AF, 29). Except for perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), detection frequencies similar among placenta, MB, CB (>80% 8 PFASs,...
Yungui Plateau is rich in fungal diversity. Hyphomycetes, growing on submerged wood, can promote the degradation of organisms and reuse rotten wood energy. During an investigation hyphomycetes this region, 19 species dematiaceous were collected Plateau. Both morphological identification multi-gene phylogenetic analyses ITS, tef 1 LSU sequences supported Coryneum sevenseptatis as a new species. Phaeoisaria guizhouensis Pleurothecium yunanensis introduced, based morphology. Morphological...
Lifestyle and cardiovascular mortality all-cause have been exhaustively explored by traditional methods, but the advantages of machine learning (ML) over methods may lead to different or more precise conclusions. The aim this study was evaluate effectiveness learning-based lifestyle factors in predicting compare results obtained methods. A prospective cohort conducted using a nationally representative sample adults aged 40 years older, drawn from US National Health Nutrition Examination...
Exposure to air pollution increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Preventing chronic diseases caused by relies on detecting the early effects of pollutants risk disease development, which is limited lack sensitive biomarkers. We have previously identified promising biomarkers in experimental animals but comparable evidence humans lacking.Air substantially worse Beijing than Los Angeles. collected urine blood samples from 26 nonsmoking, healthy adult residents Angeles (mean age,...
Negative ion air purifiers (NIAPs), as a less costly alternative to the HEPA filtration, have been increasingly deployed in China and potentially elsewhere. While reducing indoor concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ), NIAPs generate massive amounts negative ions that may be health concern. We performed week-long interventions with dormitories 56 healthy college students living Beijing. In randomized order, each student underwent true sham NIAP session. Cardiorespiratory outcomes...
Air pollution is among the top threats to human health in China. As air toxicants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) could bring significant risks population; however, exposure PAHs China and its impact are not fully understood. In 2012, a summer exchange program allowed 10 students travel from Los Angeles Beijing stay there for weeks. Based on program, this study investigated difference urinary concentration of 12 hydroxylated-PAHs (Σ12OH-PAHs) malondialdehyde (MDA) between two...
Purpose: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hucMSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are natural nanocarriers with promising potential in treating liver fibrosis and have widespread applications the fields of nanomedicine regenerative medicine. However, therapeutic efficacy hucMSC-sEVs is currently limited owing to their non-specific distribution vivo partial removal by mononuclear macrophages following systemic delivery. Thus, can be improved through development...
Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Chinese population was among highest globally and associated with various adverse effects. This study examines impact of China's two-phase clean air initiatives, namely Air Pollution Prevention Control Action Plan (APPCAP) 2013-2017 Blue-Sky Defense War (BSDW) 2018-2020, on PAH levels human exposures Beijing. To evaluate effects APPCAP, we measured 16 PAHs 287 PM
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are important pollutants, yet few data on ambient BFRs levels have been available for North China, one of the most developed regions country. In this study, we investigated and spatial distributions based gridded field observations coupled with passive air sampling in aforementioned region. A model incorporating both point nonpoint sources was to simulate distribution achieve source apportionment. Although high...
Commuters who spend long hours on roads are exposed to high levels of traffic related air pollutants (TRAPs). Despite some well-known multiple adverse effects TRAPs human health, limited studies have focused mitigation strategies reduce these effects. In this study, we measured fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations inside outside 17 taxis simultaneously while they were driven roadways. The drivers’ urinary monohydroxylated polycyclic aromatic...
