Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been associated with shorter telomere length (TL), a marker of ageing at cellular level. However, the available evidence on this association among children is still scarce. We therefore aimed to assess, the relationship between urinary 1-hydroxipayrene (1-OHP), a marker of exposure to PAHs, and relative leukocyte TL (LTL) in children at preschool age. Our study was based on 200 children enrolled from 27 randomly-selected kindergartens in the city of Sabzevar, Iran (2017). 1-OHP levels in the participants' urine samples were measured using solid phase extraction (SPE) method and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Moreover, real-time PCR was used to measure the LTL in the participants' blood samples. Linear mixed effects models, controlled for relevant covariates, were applied to investigate the association of 1-OHP concentration and LTL. The median (interquartile range (IQR)) of relative LTL and urinary 1-OHP were 0.83 (0.7) and 257 (375.5) ng/L, respectively. In the fully adjusted model, an IQR increase in urinary 1-OHP was related to -0.05 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09, -0.01, P-value = 0.02) decrease in relative LTL. This association was similar among boys and girls; however, we observed indications for a stronger association for those children whose parents had university education. Our study suggested an inverse relationship between urinary 1-OHP and LTL in children at preschool age. However, further longitudinal research with repeated measures of PAHs and LTL are needed to confirm these findings.

Background: Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the urinary system. Despite significant advances in diagnosis and treatment, the compromised therapeutic effect of chemotherapeutic agents, such as Oxaliplatin (OXA), remains a major clinical challenge. Thus, a combination therapy is required to enhance the OXA's therapeutic effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are an organic chemical family produced during incomplete combustion of organic materials. Besides, PAHs are associated with different detrimental health effects. Therefore, this research was aimed to assess the association between PAHs exposure, metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence, and cardiovascular risk in a Mexican population.

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.

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,
