    Abstract Background This study aimed to examine the association of suspended particulate matter (SPM) with outpatient attendance for allergic conjunctivitis. Methodology The information on air pollution, encompassing total hydrocarbons, non-methane hydrocarbons, methane, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, nitric oxide, oxidants, and SPM alongside data concerning daily weather conditions such as temperature, wind speed, and humidity, was gathered. Subsequently, the weekly mean values for outpatient visits, air pollution, and weather parameters were computed. Results The number of outpatient visits for allergic conjunctivitis was significantly associated with SPM levels (r = 0.70, p = 0.0037), oxidant levels (r = 0.70, p = 0.0038), wind speed (r = 0.48, p = 0.0472), and humidity (r = 0.77, p = 0.0009) from January to March, as well as SPM levels (r = 0.53, p = 0.0309) and carbon monoxide (r = 0.56, p = 0.0230) from April to June. Multivariate analysis showed that SPM (odds ratio = 1.37, p = 0.0161) and wind velocity (odds ratio = 1.52, p = 0.0038) were significant predictors of the number of outpatient visits from January to December. Conclusions SPM levels were the only independent predictor of outpatient visits for allergic conjunctivitis, suggesting that SPM contributes to the pathophysiology of this condition.

    Abstract This study compared the variability in mean arterial pressure (MAP) during drainage of ascites in patients with cancer who underwent drainage of a large (5-10 L) or small (<5 L) volume of ascites. We prospectively enrolled 50 patients scheduled for cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy. Equivalence was considered to be established if the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for the highest variability rate of MAP was within ±20%. The median volume of ascites removed was 3.30 L (95% CI [2.84, 4.40]) in the small-drainage-volume group (

    Abstract The combined toxicological effects of airborne particulate matter (PM), such as PM2.5, and Asian sand dust (ASD), with surrounding chemicals, particularly quinones, on human airway epithelial cells remain underexplored. In this study, we established an in vitro combination exposure model using 1,2-naphthoquinones (NQ) and 9,10-phenanthroquinones (PQ) along with heated PM (h-PM2.5 and h-ASD) to investigate their potential synergistic effects. The impacts of quinones and heated PM on tetrazolium dye (WST-1) reduction, cell death, and cytokine and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were examined. Results revealed that exposure to 9,10-PQ with h-PM2.5 and/or h-ASD dose-dependently increased WST-1 reduction at 1 μM compared to the corresponding control while markedly decreasing it at 10 μM. Higher early apoptotic, late apoptotic, or necrotic cell numbers were detected in 9,10-PQ + h-PM2.5 exposure than in 9,10-PQ + h-ASD or 9,10-PQ + h-PM2.5 + h-ASD. Additionally, 1,2-NQ + h-PM2.5 exposure also resulted in an increase in cell death compared to 1,2-NQ + h-ASD and 1,2-NQ + h-PM2.5 + h-ASD. Quinones with or without h-PM2.5, h-ASD, or h-PM2.5 + h-ASD significantly increased ROS production, especially with h-PM2.5. Our findings suggest that quinones, at relatively low concentrations, induce cell death synergistically in the presence of h-PM2.5 rather than h-ASD and h-PM2.5 + h-ASD, partially through the induction of apoptosis with increased ROS generation.
