Structural Defects Play a Major Role in the Acute Lung Toxicity of Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes: Physicochemical Aspects.

Description : Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been reported to elicit toxic responses in vitro and in vivo, ascribed so far to metal contamination, CNT length, degree of oxidation, or extent of hydrophilicity. To examine how structural properties may modulate the toxicity of CNT, one preparation of multiwall CNT has ...

Validation and clinical application of a high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantitative determination of 10 anti-retrovirals in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Description : This paper reports the validation of a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method that allows the quantification of 10 antiretroviral (ARV) drugs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using 6 different isotopic internal standards (IS) and its clinical application. PBMCs...

Epidemic of liver disease caused by hydrochlorofluorocarbons used as ozone-sparing substitutes of chlorofluorocarbons.

Description : BACKGROUND: Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are used increasingly in industry as substitutes for ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Limited studies in animals indicate potential hepatotoxicity of some of these compounds. We investigated an epidemic of liver disease in nine industrial worke...

Synthesis and Characterization of Stable Monodisperse Silica Nanoparticle Sols for in Vitro Cytotoxicity Testing.

Description : For the investigation of the interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules, cells, organs, and animal models there is a need for well-characterized nanoparticle suspensions. In this paper we report the preparation of monodisperse dense amorphous silica nanoparticles (SNP) suspended in physiological...

IL-9 protects against bleomycin-induced lung injury: involvement of prostaglandins.

Description : IL-9 is a Th2 cytokine that exerts pleiotropic activities, and might be involved in the regulation of lung inflammatory processes. To characterize the activity of IL-9 on lung injury, we compared the pulmonary responses to bleomycin (blm) in IL-9 transgenic (Tg5) and wild-type (FVB) mice. Following ...

Insertion polymorphism of CYP2EI and urinary N-methylformamide after N,N-dimethylformamide exposure in Japanese workers

Description : Objectives: This study examined whether consideration of the *1C/*1D CY-P2E1 insertion polymorphism is important for interpreting the biological monitoring of exposure to NN-dimethylformamide (DMF) in Japanese workers. Methods: The insertion genotype, airborne DMF exposure on the last day of a work ...

Epidemic of fatal encephalopathy in preschool children in Burkina Faso and consumption of unripe ackee (Blighia sapida) fruit

Description : Background On March 21, 1998, the Regional Health Authority of Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, asked the Centre Muraz to investigate an unexplained outbreak of epidemic fatal encephalopathy (EFE). We aimed to identify the cause of this epidemic. Methods We identified cases retrospectively through revi...

Urinary protein excretion in humans exposed to arsenic and cadmium.

Description : OBJECTIVE: In mice, the renal toxicity of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) has been shown to be exacerbated by the simultaneous administration of both elements. To verify the existence of such an interaction in humans, cohorts slightly (Belgian) and moderately (Chinese) exposed to both elements were ex...
