Abstract

The cadmium-polluted Jinzu River Basin in Toyama, Japan, where nephropathy and itai-itai disease were endemic among resident farmers decades ago, has been almost completely restored. The aim of this study is to investigate whether inhabitants there would still exhibit cadmium accumulation and its effects on kidneys, bones, and erythropoiesis. We performed a cross-sectional study of 150 subjects from the polluted area and 144 controls from the same prefecture. Participants included female inhabitants from 34 to 74 years of age who underwent examinations to gather anthropometrical and medical information, obtain rice, blood and urine samples, and measure bone mineral density. Cadmium concentration in rice from the polluted area was lower than the level in the control area. Blood and urinary cadmium and urinary β(2)-microglobulin levels were higher in subjects from the polluted area than controls, and the urinary β(2)-microglobulin was independently affected by urinary cadmium. Bone mineral density did not differ between the two areas, but it was affected by renal tubular function in subjects from the polluted area. Serum bone alkaline phosphatase was lower in subjects from the polluted area compared to controls. We detected three...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
