Development of a Mab-based heterologous immunoassay for the broad-selective determination of organophosphorus pesticides.
J Agric Food Chem 58(9):5658-63 (2010) PMID 20297814
A broad-selective monoclonal antibody (Mab) for organophosphorus (OP) pesticides was raised using heterologous indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to screen hybridomas. On the basis of this Mab, five coating antigens were used to develop homologous and heterologous indirect competitiv... -
Plasma organochlorines and subsequent risk of prostate cancer in Japanese men: a nested case-control study.
Environ Health Perspect 118(5):659-65 (2010) PMID 20435560
No statistically significant association with total prostate cancer was seen for any plasma organochlorine, although we did observe an insignificant inverse association for plasma HCB and beta-HCH. Total PCB in plasma was also inversely associated with advanced prostate cancer but without statistica... -
Lifestyle, occupational, and reproductive factors and risk of colorectal cancer.
Dis Colon Rectum 53(5):830-7 (2010) PMID 20389219 PMCID PMC3223860
We obtained detailed lifestyle information from 421 patients with colorectal cancer and 439 hospital-controls in Egypt. Logistic regression models were computed to evaluate the risk factors of colorectal carcinoma. A history of pesticide exposure and more frequently eating food direc... -
Fate of selected pesticides, estrogens, progestogens and volatile organic compounds during artificial aquifer recharge using surface waters
Chemosphere 79(8):7 (2010) PMID 20226495
The artificial recharge of aquifers has become a valuable tool to increase water resources for drinking water production in many countries. In this work a total of 41 organic pollutants belonging to the classes of pesticides, estrogens, progestogens and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been mo... -
Cholinesterase depression and its association with pesticide exposure across the agricultural season among Latino farmworkers in North Carol...
Environ Health Perspect 118(5):635-9 (2010) PMID 20085857
These data demonstrate that workers are experiencing pesticide exposure. Greater enforcement of existing safety regulations or strengthening of these regulations may be warranted. This study demonstrates that serial measurements of cholinesterase activity across an agricultural season can detect exp... -
Environmental factors and Parkinson's disease: a case-control study in Belgrade, Serbia.
Audio, Transactions of the IRE Profession... 120(5):361-7 (2010) PMID 20402575
A case-control study was performed in Belgrade in order to investigate the association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and some environmental factors. During the period 2001-2005, 110 new PD cases and 220 hospital controls were interviewed. Cases and controls were matched by sex, age (+/-2 years),... -
Functional assembly of bacterial communities with activity for the biodegradation of an organophosphorus pesticide in the rape phyllosphere.
FEMS Microbiol Lett 306(2):135-43 (2010) PMID 20529133
We examined changes in the bacterial community composition in the rape phyllosphere after treatment with dichlorvos, an organophosphorus pesticide. Results indicate that the bacterial community showed marked changes after treatment. We evaluated the rate of dichlorvos degradation by a natural microb... -
Botanical repellents and pesticides traditionally used against hematophagous invertebrates in Lao People's Democratic Republic: a comparativ...
J Med Entomol 47(3):400-14 (2010) PMID 20496588
We documented traditional knowledge on plants that are used to repel or kill hematophagous arthropods, including mosquitoes, bedbugs, human lice, mites and ticks, fly larvae, and blood-sucking leeches. Structured interviews were carried out in 66 villages comprising 17 ethnic groups, covering a rang... -

Organochlorine pesticides in umbilical cord blood serum of women from Southern Spain and adherence to the Mediterranean diet
Food Chem Toxicol 48(5):5 (2010) PMID 20188779
We investigated the presence of nine OC residues in the umbilical cord blood of newborns in Southern Spain and analyzed the relationship of this exposure with maternal and pregnancy variables, including maternal adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD). OCs were detected in 95% of umbilical cord blo...
