Epigenetic alterations may regulate temporary reversal of CD4(+) T cell activation caused by trichloroethylene exposure.
Previous studies have shown that short-term (4 weeks) or chronic (32 weeks) exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) in drinking water of female MRL+/+ mice generated CD4(+) T cells that secreted increased levels of interferon (IFN)-γ and expressed an activated (CD44(hi)CD62L(lo)) phenotype. In contrast, the current study of subchronic TCE exposure showed that midway in the disease process both of t...
متن کاملAmyloid polyneuropathy caused by wild-type transthyretin.
INTRODUCTION Amyloidosis derived from transthyretin (TTR) molecules is typically caused by mutations of the TTR gene. METHODS We describe an elderly patient with a severe length-dependent polyneuropathy that unexpectedly proved to be caused by wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis. RESULTS The diagnosis was made by muscle biopsy, because no amyloid deposits were found in the biopsied nerve se...

متن کاملMyoclonic encephalopathy after exposure to trichloroethylene.
Trichloroethylene is a widely-used industrial solvent that is absorbed through the digestive or respiratory tracts or cutaneously. It has a selective tropism for the cardiovascular and central nervous systems and may cause death due to cardiac arrest or neurological sequelae. We present the case of a 25-yr-old women who was exposed to trichloroethylene in the workplace for 18 months and who dev...
متن کاملExposure assessment of trichloroethylene.
This article reviews exposure information available for trichloroethylene (TCE) and assesses the magnitude of human exposure. The primary sources releasing TCE into the environment are metal cleaning and degreasing operations. Releases occur into all media but mostly into the air due to its volatility. It is also moderately soluble in water and can leach from soils into groundwater. TCE has com...
