Non-cancer disease mortality and risk analysis among medical X-ray workers in China
The non-cancer disease mortality (1950-1995) among 27 011 medical diagnostic X-ray workers was compared to that of 25 782 other medical specialists employed between 1950 and 1980 to provide evidence of human non-cancer disease death produced by protracted and fractionated exposure to ionising radiation and assess the resultant non-cancer disease death risk. The total non-cancer disease mortality ...

The Significance of Post-Translational Modification in Pharmaceutical Industry
Post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthesis. PTMs can alter the physicochemical properties of the peptide by changing the electrostatic charge, hydrophilicity, and conformation, thereby modulating their ability to specifically bind to the protein of interest. And PTM can also regulate protein folding, target ...

Mitochondrial Proteomics
Mitochondria are important organelles of eukaryotic cells and play a key role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism, biosynthesis and cell death (including apoptosis and programmed cell necrosis). In addition, mitochondria are involved in important physiological processes such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid and amino acid oxidation, and regulation of calcium ion homeostasis. ...

Dietary fibre and human health
Food habits of new lifestyle have contributed to the appearance of chronic diseases such as obesity or cardiovascular diseases, which are mainly due to bad eating habits. Solutions can be found in providing the consumers with functional foods and health capability. Such food is rich in dietary fibre, with specific physicochemical behaviour and healthy properties. Dietary fibre rich food products ...

New Findings about BRD4 Protein You May Want to Know
A new study clarifies how BRD4 (a protein that scientists have studied for many years) directs the spatial organization of DNA in the cell nucleus (a key function of stem cells to differentiate into muscle cells), which promotes the understanding of certain cancers and complex congenital diseases. Since the way DNA is folded is essential for gene regulation, this research not only has ...

Environmental Policies to Reduce Cancer Risk
Untitled Document Cancer is the second most prevalent cause of death in the United States, behind heart diseases. The lifetime risk of contracting cancer is roughly 1 in 3 for women and 1 in 2 for men. It is therefore not surprising that U.S. legislators and policy-makers continue to seek avenues for addressing cancer risks attributable to environmental ...

Delhi’s Pollution can Reduce 6 Years from Your Life
Air pollution is often based on the values of particulate matter of size less than 2.5 micrometers(PM 2.5) and particulate matter of size less than 10 micrometers (PM10).PM 2.5 reduces visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when the levels are elevated. It is the most harmful pollutant to human health which can lead to respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and heart attacks. The World Health ...
