Abstract:
The substances associated with PM2.5-induced inflammatory response were investigated using an elimination method. PM2.5 were heated at temperatures of 120, 250, and 360°C. The results demonstrated microbial substances such as LPS and b-glucan, and chemicals including BaP, 1,2-NQ, and 9,10-PQ were reduced drastically in PM2.5 heated at 120°C. On the other hand, DBA, 7,12-BAQ, and BaP-1,6-Q were not noticeably reduced. Most of these substances had disappeared in PM2.5 heated at 250°C and 360°C. Metals (eg, Fe, Cu, Cr, Ni) in PM2.5 exhibited a slight thermo-dependent increase. RAW264.7 macrophages with or without NAC were exposed to unheated PM2.5, oxidative stress-related and unrelated inflammatory responses were induced. PM2.5-induced lung inflammation in mice is caused mainly by thermo-sensitive substances (LPS, b-glucan, BaP, 1,2-NQ, 9,10-PQ, etc.). Also, a slight involvement of thermo-resistant substances (DBA, 7,12-BAQ, BaP-1,6-Q, etc.) and transition metals was observed. The thermal decomposition method could assist to evaluate the PM2.5-induded lung inflammation.

Kinetics of Drug Elimination
Drug clearance depends on the rate of drug elimination and its plasma concentration. Another important parameter is the half-life of a drug, which is the time required for its concentration to decrease by half. In most cases, drug clearance follows first-order...
Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
