PMID: J Thorac Dis. 2019 Jun ;11(6):2617-2627. PMID: 31372298 Abstract Title: Particulate matter disrupts airway epithelial barrier via oxidative stress to promoteinfection. Abstract: Background: Airborne particulate matter (PM) is associated with increasing susceptibility to respiratory bacterial infection. Tight junctions (TJs) are protein complexes that form airway epithelial barrier against infection. This study aimed to investigate …

Curcumin has proven anti-inflammatory effects, and new research confirms that curcumin supplementation is an effective tool for pain management in patients with knee osteoarthritis
miRNAs deregulation in serum of mice is associated with lung cancer related pathway deregulation induced by PM2.5.
PMID: Environ Pollut. 2019 Nov ;254(Pt A):112875. Epub 2019 Jul 17. PMID: 31377334 Abstract Title: miRNAs deregulation in serum of mice is associated with lung cancer related pathway deregulation induced by PM2.5. Abstract: Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) as an environmental pollution has been associated with the lung cancer. However, the mechanism of epigenetics such …

These findings further suggest air pollution may affect the development of hypertension in pregnancy.
PMID: Hypertension. 2019 08 ;74(2):384-390. Epub 2019 Jun 24. PMID: 31230552 Abstract Title: Differential Effect of Ambient Air Pollution Exposure on Risk of Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia. Abstract: Although ambient air pollution may increase hypertension risk through endothelial damage and oxidative stress, evidence is inconsistent regarding its effect on hypertension in pregnancy. Prior research has …
Long-term exposure to PM2.5 is an important risk factor for stroke.
PMID: Environ Res. 2019 Oct ;177:108587. Epub 2019 Jul 15. PMID: 31326714 Abstract Title: Long-term exposure to PMand stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.
