Article Synopsis
- PM-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are harmful to health, with higher concentrations found in Xi'an during winter, primarily from coal combustion.
- The research established a model to assess the effects of PAHs on respiratory and immune functions through sub-chronic inhalation exposure.
- Findings indicated that exposure resulted in significant lung inflammation and cellular damage, suggesting that PAHs pose a health risk and that action is needed to address PAH pollution.
THE THERAPEUTIC EVALUATION AND MECHANISM ON TREATING BRONCHIAL HYPER-RESPONSIVENESS COUGH BY ZIYINQINGRE PRESCRIPTION.

Objective: Discussing the effects of Ziyinqingre prescription on the level of airway resistance (Rrs), airway response threshold (Dmin), airway conductance (sGrs) and the level of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) of the bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) cough patients.
Method: 84 subjects diagnosed as BHR were randomly divided into 42 Chinese Traditional medicine group and 42 control group. The Chinese Traditional Medicine group received Ziyinqingre prescription twice a day and the control group received 10mg Montelukast Sodium tablets once a day for two weeks.
Aim: To identify the association of the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling with the development of benign lymphoepithelial lesions (BLEL) of the lacrimal gland.
Methods: We collected affected lacrimal gland tissues from 9 patients who underwent dacryoadenectomy in the Capital Medical University Beijing Tongren Hospital Eye Center between August 2010 and March 2013 and were confirmed to have lacrimal gland BLEL by histopathological analysis. Tumor tissues from 9 patients with orbital cavernous hemangioma were also collected and used as control.
