Mortality by cancer in groups of the Belgian population with a moderately increased intake of arsenic.
Description :
OBJECT: The dose-response relationship for lung carcinoma and other cancers at low doses of As is highly uncertain because it is based on modeling data collected in populations with a high daily intake of the element. The finding of a slightly increased exposure to arsenic in certain groups of the B...

Sulfur mustard upregulates the expression of interleukin-8 in cultured human keratinocytes.
Description :
Although the morphological description of sulfur mustard (SM) injury is well characterised, little is known of the molecular mediators involved in cutaneous toxicity. Since infiltration by lymphocytes and PMNs represents one of the very first events observed in vivo upon exposure to SM, this study e...

The role of vitamin E in the susceptibility of rat lung and liver microsomes to iron-stimulated peroxidation.
Description :
The production of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS) and ethane, two markers of the lipid peroxidation process, was evaluated in rat lung and liver microsomal membranes incubated in the presence of either ferrous ions or a mixture of ferric ions and ascorbate. Microsomal fractions isol...

Induction of macrophage plasminogen activator by asbestos is independent of PKC activation.
Description :
This study was undertaken to assess whether plasminogen activator (PA) induction in macrophages exposed to chrysotile fibers is mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) activation. In PKC depleted J774 cells, PA induction could be elicited by chrysotile whereas, as expected, the response to phorbol myrist...

Respiratory toxicity of carbon nanotubes: How worried should we be?
Description :
The synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their actual and potential industrial uses have attracted the attention of many scientists world wide but relatively little attention has been paid, so far, to their potential detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Here, we briefly sketc...

Description :
The induction of cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) is believed to play a role in the development of fibrosis in hepatitis C patients. However, information about CYP2E1 activity in chronic hepatitis C patients is fragmentary and the relationship between CYP2E1 activity and mRNA expression is unknown in thi...

Pulmonary overexpression of IL-10 augments lung fibrosis and Th2 responses induced by silica particles.
Description :
Chronic inflammation and proinflammatory cytokines as well as T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokines have been involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary injury and lung fibrosis. The actual role of IL-10 in lung fibrosis is still unclear because this cytokine has been identified as Th2 but possesses strong...

A systematic review of myeloid leukemias and occupational pesticide exposure.
Description :
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analyses of published studies examining the association between myeloid leukemias (ML) and occupational pesticide exposure. METHODS: Studies were identified from a MEDLINE search through 31 May 2006 and from the reference lists of identified publica...

Carcinogenic potential of formaldehyde in occupational settings: a critical assessment and possible impact on occupational exposure levels.
Description :
OBJECTIVES: To review epidemiological studies which led to a change in the classification of formaldehyde by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2004 as well as studies published thereafter, with the objective to examine whether occupational exposure levels for formaldehyde sho...
