- 环境流行病学环境流行病学
- 狗的健康 狗的健康
背景情况:
- 狗的多中心淋巴瘤 (ML) 与人类非霍奇金淋巴瘤 (NHL) 有相似之处.
- 人类NHL与和挥发性有机化合物 (VOC) 等环境因素有关.
研究的目的:
- 调查狗ML与环境暴露之间的关联.
- 为了确定是否与石油和天然气"压裂"地点的邻近,这是VOC污染的来源,与狗的ML有关.
主要方法:
- 利用黄金回归犬终身研究的数据,将具有ML (n=52) 的狗与匹配的对照 (n=104) 进行比较.
- 评估环境子区域和县平均子水平.
- 通过使用地理数据,评估住宅附近的"压裂"和废水井.
主要成果:
- 在ML病例和对照组之间,没有发现县级子测量的显著差异.

Cancer Prevention
6.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Types of Toxins
1.7K
Humans continually engage with an environment rich in potentially harmful chemicals. These are introduced to our bodies through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. These chemicals exist in various forms, such as air and environmental pollutants, agricultural chemicals, organic solvents, and heavy metals.
Air pollutants, primarily gases, pose significant threats to respiratory health, leading to conditions like hypoxia, lung cancer, and in extreme cases, death.

The Tumor Microenvironment
6.6K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Biological Effects of Radiation
15.4K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...
