Background: Mast cells in the gut play an important role in the innate and adaptive immune responses that are relevant to human inflammatory bowel disease. However, the contribution of mast cells to the development of inflammatory bowel disease is not well understood. This study aimed to determine the role of mast cells in oxazolone-induced colitis and to explore whether the mast cell membrane stabiliser tranilast could ameliorate colonic inflammation.

Objective: To explore the toxicity of joint exposure to diazinon, propoxur and bisphenol A on phagocytosis.

Methods: Flow cytometer was employed to detect the influence of diazinon and bisphenol A, propoxur and bisphenol A in mixture (mixed according to ratio of IC(50)) on mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells' function to phagocyte fluorescent microspheres, adopting the percentage of phagocytic cells (PP) and the phagocytic index (PI) as measurement indicators.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare gene expression in rats exposed to La(NO(3))(3) with control rats.
  • The research involved administering La(NO(3))(3) daily to rats and analyzing hepatocyte gene expression through mRNA differential display and cDNA microarray techniques.
  • The findings revealed significant changes in gene expression, with 136 differentially expressed genes identified—most related to cell signaling, metabolism, and protein synthesis—suggesting that La(NO(3))(3) alters gene expression and has potential broader biological effects.
