We have looked at how CML affects the soil microenvironment, plant growth, and productive behaviour. The Times of India reported on a study that served as the study's basis. The NCR Gurgaon farmers produced the CML in order to cultivate the brinjal harvest. According to reports, the application of CML raised brinjal production six or eight times. The resulting brinjal was said to be of excellent quality and beauty. Previously, brinjal (Solanum melongena Var BR112) was studied for productivity and growth behaviour. Our study's foundation is the questionnaire that farmers in the National Capital Region who produced crops utilising CML. They combined CML. with gibberellic acid. The crop's yield has increased because of this combination. We employed CML. as a solvent. They claimed that the treatment improved the flavour of the okra (Abelomoschus esculentus L.) and brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) in some way. Prior to this, an experiment was carried out with okra to investigate the impact of CML on its growth and production. Brinjal (Solanum melongena VAR BR112), was studied for its productivity and growth behaviour under field conditions.  Analysis of the soil microflora under various treatments is another aspect of the study. A comparative examination of the microclimate of the soil and the crops will be compiled in this paper. The study reveals that Brinjal showed a stronger response to CML in terms of growth and productive behaviour than Okra did.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Detection of Candida in Cervical Cancer Tissue by Periodic Acid Shiff and Gomori Methenamine Silver Staining","authors":"","doi":"10.52783/jchr.v13.i1s.529","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52783/jchr.v13.i1s.529","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction and Aim: Cervical cancer is a global health burden. Of all the cancer incidences reported in Indonesia, cervical cancer occupies the second position as the highest contributor to the incidence throughout the year, and the third position is the leading cause of death. Tissue culture and staining methods were used to diagnose the cervical cancer. This study aimed to compare Candida detection and the possibility of vulvovaginal candidiasis risk factors in cervical cancer tissue blocks stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Gomori methenamine silver (GMS). Methods: This was an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional approach. This study compared PAS and GMS staining to detect Candida fungi in paraffin block tissue from individuals diagnosed with cervical cancer at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Kediri Regency Regional General Hospital in 2021–2022. The sampling used Total sampling was carried out from March to December 2022. Data analyses were descriptively performed. Results: The incidence of cervical cancer was dominated by patients aged 51–60 years who belonged the decade 6. In this study, 32 blocks of cervical cancer tissues were deparaffinized and analyzed. A histopathological diagnosis of the examined cervical biopsy samples was obtained. A total of 81.25% had cervical squamous cell carcinoma, in 18.75% of the patients and cervical adenocarcinoma. The findings of this study show that staining with GMS can detect more Candida fungi than PAS staining. Microscopic examination showed that GMS staining had a more obvious contrast, marked by black structures in the green area. Thirteen samples (40.7%) of the 32 examined for vulvovaginitis. However, this study did not show that Candida invasion of the cervix is a risk factor for cervical cancer. Conclusion: PAS and GMS staining can be used to detect Candida fungi in cervical cancer tissue. GMS staining has higher accuracy in detecting Candida in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma. The risk factors for fungal infections and the occurrence of cervical cancer require further investigation.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135261629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary aim of this study was to examine potential health risks for national (adults and children) and international (Arab population) inhabitants that were exposed to heavy metals (Cd and Pb) through ingestion of wheat flour. A total of 300 wheat flours samples (<0.25 mm) of five commercial brands have been collected from 2016 to 2018 from Khuzestan province, Iran. The possible health risk was estimated based on the Hazard Quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI or non-carcinogenic risk), and carcinogenic Risk (CR) indices. The average concentrations of the Pb and Cd were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than the safety limit in all seasons for three years. However, 2.3% of Pb in the total samples exceeded the European Commission and FAO/WHO standards. All estimated values for non-carcinogenic risk were in the safe range (HQ < 1) among all consumers. The mean value of total CR for Pb was 1.23×10−6, 1.75×10-6, and 8.03 × 10-7 for adult, children, and Arab populations, respectively. For Cd exposure, the total CR value was 2.2×10−4, 3.13×10−4 and 1.44 ×10−4 for adult, children, and Arab populations, respectively. Cancer risk values determined for Cd were generally in the unsafe range during three years, indicating that there was CR for all consumers by ingestion intake of Cd contained in wheat flour in this study area. The results obtained indicated that the government requires implementing more remediation or intervention to control and mitigate the contamination burden of Cd in agricultural crops to reduce its associated carcinogenic risks.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44852161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Iran, traditional foods constitute a major portion of peoples’ daily diet. Hence, the present study has attempted to evaluate the levels of heavy metals and their carcinogenicity and non-carcinogenicity in traditional foods served in the restaurants of Isfahan, Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 20 different types of food were selected from 19 restaurants. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to measure the levels of heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) in the prepared samples. Moreover, the risk non-carcinogenicity of heavy metals in traditional foods was determined for children and adults by applying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) method. Among the heavy metals studied, only Ni and Cu had lower levels than permissible limits. Also, the Pb levels in the examined foods range from 0.05 to 0.79 m m-1; which are higher than the safe limits proposed by FAO/WHO. On the other hand, the mean concentration of Fe was higher than the maximum permissible limit (48 m m-1) in 4 food samples only. The target hazard quotient (THQ) values range from 0.005–53.65 and 0.01–156.50, for adults and children, respectively.  Hence THQ for adults and children was found to be above 1 in 64% and 75% of food samples, respectively. This study recommends that food consumers in Iran should be careful about the overconsumption of traditional foods.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41963403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this research was done to evaluate the effect of zeolite and seed pre-treatment with salicylic acid on reducing the Cd sorption by ornamental sunflower under drought stress. Treatments (48 treatments) consisted of applying zeolite (0 and 5 % (W/W)) in the Cd (0 and 15 mg Cd (kg soil)-1) polluted soil under cultivation of ornamental sunflower that was inoculated with P.indica in normal and intensive drought stress condition. The plants seeds were pretreated with salicylic acid (0, 0.5 and 1 mM). After 90 days, plants were harvested and atomic absorption spectroscopy (Perkin-Elmer 3030) was used for determining the Pb and Zn concentration. Application of zeolite in the soil significantly decreased and increased the plant Cd and Zn concentration by 11.3 and 14.2%, respectively. Seed priming with salicylic acid at the rate of 1 mM significantly increased the plant Zn and Cd concentration by 12.7 and 14.2%, respectively. In addition, plant inoculation with P.indica significantly decreased the catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activity which indicate the plant resistance to abiotic stress. However, drought stress had adverse effect on the Cd sorption by plants. Moreover, the CAT and APX enzymes activities were increased. The results of this study showed that applying zeolite and seed priming with salicylic acid had additive effects on decreasing the Cd sorption by ornamental sunflower that was inoculated with P.indica fungus under drought stress.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47503037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
