- Abstract:
- ... Arsenic species and a possible source of methylated arsenic in a Panax Notoginseng (PN) medicinal plant were explored to further understand the change of inorganic arsenic to the less toxic methylated form to minimize the health risks associated with its medicinal use. Arsenic speciation in PN from major planting areas was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with hydrid ...

- Abstract:
- ... Human activities contribute greatly to heavy metal pollution in soils. Concentrations of 15 metal elements were detected in 105 soil samples collected from a typical rural-industrial town in southern Jiangsu, China. Among them, 7 heavy metals—lead, copper, zinc, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, and nickel—were considered in the health risk assessment for residents via soil inhalation, dermal contact, a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Urbanization, which is characterized by population aggregation, industrial development, and increased traffic load, may change local polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) emissions and their associated health risks. To investigate these changes, we collected soil samples in 2009 and 2014 in a rapidly developing small town in Southern Jiangsu (China) and measured the concentrations of 16 PAHs via ...

- Abstract:
- ... Enterocytozoon bieneusi is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of mammal hosts and birds. Previous genotypic surveys were limited to measure the polymorphisms at the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) that evolved slowly. Data on population structure are available only on E. bieneusi isolates from primates. This study explored the genotypic and phylogene ...

This study screened 151 pet-derived fecal specimens randomly collected from four commercial markets in northeast China for the presence of Cryptosporidium by genus-specific nested PCRs of the small subunit rRNA gene. Of these, 14 specimens (9.3 %) from nine species of birds, two types of rodents, and a hedgehog were positive for Cryptosporidium. Sequence analysis on the PCR-positive isolates facil ...

- Abstract:
- ... Panax notoginseng (P. notoginseng) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicinal herb. Due to elevated arsenic (As) levels in some planting area, P. notoginseng and its derivatives are contaminated, and the As concentration in these products exceeds the standard limit (As concentration < 2 mg/kg). In this study, the effects of sulfate (S) application on As uptake and the physicological response of ...

Cadmium (Cd) contamination has been reported to be a problem for the safe usage of Panax notoginseng (Sanchi); thus, it is necessary to elucidate the Cd accumulation in Sanchi and to assess its associated health risk. Samples were collected from major producing areas in Yunnan, China. The average concentration of Cd in Sanchi was 0.43 mg/kg, which exceeds the standard level for herbal medicine in ...

- Abstract:
- ... Despite the rapid and extensive advances in molecular epidemiology of Cryptosporidium in humans and a variety of animals, the prevalence and genetic traits of the parasite in wildlife bred in captivity and the role of the neglected hosts in zoonotic transmission of human cryptosporidiosis are rarely understood. This study investigated the prevalence, species/genotype, and subtype of Cryptosporidiu ...
