Coexposure to mercury increases immunotoxicity of trichloroethylene.
We have shown previously that chronic (32 weeks) exposure to occupationally relevant concentrations of the environmental pollutant trichloroethylene (TCE) induced autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in autoimmune-prone MRL+/+ mice. In real-life, individuals are never exposed to only one chemical such as TCE. However, very little is known about the effects of chemical mixtures on the immune system. The c...
متن کاملStudy on Mercury Distribution and Speciation in Urban Road Runoff in Nanjing City, China
The current study was aimed to investigate the mercury pollution in urban road runoff. A total of 34 rainfall events were monitored on 5 independent road catchments from 2015 to 2016 in Nanjing city, China. Events mean concentrations of mercury and the impact factors of mercury pollution in urban road runoff were also carried out in the current study. Results revealed that the concentration of ...
متن کاملInhibitory signal override increases susceptibility to mercury-induced autoimmunity.
After exposure to subtoxic doses of heavy metals such as mercury, H-2(s) mice develop an autoimmune syndrome consisting of the rapid production of IgG autoantibodies that are highly specific for nucleolar autoantigens and a polyclonal increase in serum IgG1 and IgE. In this study, we explore the role of two inhibitory immunoreceptors, CTLA-4 and FcgammaRIIB, in the regulation of mercury-induced...
متن کاملEffect of clear-cutting silviculture on soil respiration in a subtropical forest of China
Aims: Clear-cutting is a common forest management practice, especially in subtropical China. However, the potential ecological consequences of clear-cutting remain unclear. In particular, the effect of clear-cutting on soil processes, such as the carbon cycle, has not been quantified in subtropical forests. Here, we investigated the response of soil respiration (Rs) to clear-cutting during a 12...
متن کاملPlant Cover and Biomass Response to Clear-Cutting, Site Preparation, and Planting in Pinus elliottii Flatwoods.
Pine plantation management did not initially convert natural forests to monocultures; rather it increased plant species richness and diversity. During a 5-year study of two natural watersheds in Florida that were converted to plantations, woody species diminished, but herbaceous species increased. Number of plant species on permanent transects and plots increased. Diversity of cover, frequency,...
