These findings demonstrated that fine particulate matter promoted the invasion of lung cancer cells.

PMID:  J Biomed Nanotechnol. 2018 Dec 1 ;14(12):2172-2184. PMID: 30305224 Abstract Title:  Fine Particulate Matter (PM) Promoted the Invasion of Lung Cancer Cells via an ARNT2/PP2A/STAT3/MMP2 Pathway. Abstract:  Accumulating evidence indicates that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure is associated with many cardiopulmonary diseases, particularly lung carcinoma. Nevertheless, the underlying biological mechanisms by which PMexposure initiates …

Exposure to fine particulate matter contributes to a considerable burden of lung cancer in Canada.

Abstract:  BACKGROUND: In this study the effect of photodynamic therapy on chemotherapy induced mucositis was evaluated.METHODS: This randomized single blind clinical pilot evaluation …

Low-level laser therapy prevents muscle oxidative stress in rats subjected to high-intensity resistance exercise.

PMID:  Lasers Med Sci. 2020 Jan 10. Epub 2020 Jan 10. PMID: 31925594 Abstract Title:  Low-level laser therapy prevents muscle oxidative stress in rats subjected to high-intensity resistance exercise in a dose-dependent manner. Abstract:  High-intensity resistance exercise (RE) increases oxidative stress leading to deleterious effects on muscle performance and recovery. The aim of this study …

Photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy for the treatment of oral mucositis in patients with cancer.

PMID:  Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther. 2019 Dec 10:101621. Epub 2019 Dec 10. PMID: 31841687 Abstract Title:  Photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy for the treatment of oral mucositis in patients with cancer. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM-T) can penetrate soft tissues and exert analgesic and healing effects, and is thus a promising alternative for prevention and treatment of …

C-reactive protein (CRP) and long-term air pollution with a focus on ultrafine particles.

PMID:  Int J Hyg Environ Health. 2018 04 ;221(3):510-518. Epub 2018 Jan 31. PMID: 29428699 Abstract Title:  C-reactive protein (CRP) and long-term air pollution with a focus on ultrafine particles. Abstract:  BACKGROUND: Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution contributes to the global burden of disease by particularly affecting cardiovascular (CV) causes of death. We investigated …

These findings provide evidence in support of the hypothesis that air pollution increases systemic inflammation.

PMID:  Environ Int. 2018 10 ;119:264-273. Epub 2018 Jul 5. PMID: 29982129 Abstract Title:  Short- and long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in non-smokers: A hospital-based cohort study in South Korea. Abstract:  Despite increasing epidemiological evidence of an association between air pollution and adverse health outcomes, the detailed mechanisms underlying …

Ambient air pollution is associated with high-density lipoprotein dysfunction in healthy adults.

PMID:  Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2019 03 ;39(3):513-522. PMID: 30700134 Abstract Title:  Ambient Air Pollution Is Associated With HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Dysfunction in Healthy Adults. Abstract:  Objective- We aimed to assess whether exposure to higher levels of ambient air pollution impairs HDL (high-density lipoprotein) function and to elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms potentially involved. Approach …
