The control of waterborne diseases through water disinfection is a significant advancement in public health. However, the disinfection process generates disinfection by-products (DBPs), including trihalomethanes (THMs), which are considered to influence the occurrence of cancer. This analysis aims to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between blood concentrations of THMs and cancer.

This study investigated the protective effect of Dai Bai Jie (DBJ) extract against acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) and elucidated its potential mechanism. The total saponin level in the DBJ extracts was measured using vanillin-chloroform acid colorimetry. To observe the preventive and protective effects of DBJ on AML-12 cells in an ethanol environment, the effective components of DBJ were identified.

Background: Anti-angiogenesis or inhibition of blood vessel formation is the best way to prevent the growth and metastasis of tumors. Natural sources like plants are currently being explored for its antiangiogenic activity as they are factories of various phytochemicals. The goal of the current study is to investigate the antiangiogenic potential of () by using chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and molecular docking.

Study Design: Meta-analysis was conducted on 17 studies involving 1,251,426 neonates, revealing a higher risk of PTB with exposure to total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and chloroform. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis confirmed a causal relationship between chlorides and PTB.
