Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) concentrations between coke oven workers and non-occupational exposed individuals and to investigate the possible impact factors.
Methods: Spot end-of-shift urine samples were collected in 265 coke oven workers and spot morning urine samples in 226 non-occupational exposed individuals. External exposure levels and possible confounding factors were assessed by environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) monitoring and uniform questionnaire, and the urinary 1-OHP concentrations determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), were used to compare the different urinary 1-OHP levels between different research populations and to explore the effects of several factors such as external exposure levels, smoking habits, alcohol consumptions, age and body mass index (BMI).
Results: The urinary 1-OHP concentrations in coke oven workers were significantly higher than those in non-occupational exposed individuals (13.49, 6.56, 1.38 and 0.35 micromol/mol creatinine for topside workers, side-oven workers, bottom side workers and references, respectively, P < 0.001; the same trends for the percentage of the level over 2.3 micromol/mol creatinine: 94.81%, 84.73%, 35.09% and 0.88%, P < 0.001). The control individuals who smoked over 20 cigarettes per day possessed higher urinary 1-OHP concentrations than the non-smokers (adjusted geometric mean: 0.47 and 0.31 micromol/mol creatinine, respectively, P < 0.05). Alcohol drinking references possessed lower urinary 1-OHP levels than the non-drinkers (adjusted geometric mean: 0.33 and 0.47 micromol/mol creatinine, respectively, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Coke oven workers should be exposed to a high level of urinary 1-OHP, especially for topside workers and side-oven workers. Background urinary 1-OHP levels in non-occupational exposed individuals should be related to smoking habits and alcohol consumptions.

Prognostic model based on disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs for predicting survival and therapeutic response in bladder cancer.

Background: With poor treatment outcomes and prognosis, bladder cancer remains a focus for clinical research in the precision oncology era. However, the potential of disulfidptosis, a novel cell death mechanism, and its related long non-coding RNAs to support selective cancer cell killing in this disease is still unclear.
Methods: We identified key disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs in bladder cancer, constructed a prognostic risk model with potential therapeutic targets, and confirmed the findings through quantitative PCR analysis.
Associations among urinary 1-hydroxypyrene level, oxidative stress, and high blood pressure: A panel study among elderly Koreans.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental carcinogens. However, there is limited evidence for the relations between PAHs exposure and blood pressure (BP) with the mediating role of oxidative stress. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated relations among PAHs exposure, oxidative stress, and BP in the elderly population.

Article Synopsis
- Biomonitoring of Benzo(a)Pyrene (BaP) exposure in workers is typically based on urinary 3-hydroxybenzo(a)pyrene (3-OHBaP), but the new metabolite TetraolBaP has potential as an additional biomarker, yet remains unstudied in occupational contexts.* -
- In a study of 118 aluminium smelting workers, high levels of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) and 3-OHBaP were frequently found, suggesting significant exposure to PAHs, with notable correlations among the three biomarkers measured.* -
- TetraolBaP appears to be a promising biomarker for BaP's metabolic activation,

Oxaliplatin is a common drug used in the management of colorectal malignancies. Rare neurological side effects including amaurosis fugax, urinary retention, stroke, cranial nerve palsy, dysarthria, and dysphagia have been reported in the literature. Usually, such incidences are reported immediately after 1st dose of oxaliplatin infusion.

Restricted fetal growth (RFG) is a leading contributor to perinatal mortality and has been associated with gestational exposure to air pollution, such as fine particulate matter (PM), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This study examines the association between trimester-specific and weekly means of air pollution throughout gestation and placental inflammatory markers at delivery. In a prospective cohort study of 263 pregnant women in Rochester, NY, we measured interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in placental tissue and estimated gestational exposure to PM and NO using a high-resolution spatial-temporal model.
