Each concentration was replicated four times and applied on twenty specimens of A. aegyptiat the third larval stage. The results showed that M.leucadendra has a lethal ability against A.aegypti.

Histological examination of the epithelium covering both filiform and circumvallate papillae of subgroup I showed few epithelial cells vacuolations and signs of degeneration. Meanwhile the taste buds’ cells of the circumvallate papillae also showed signs of degeneration together with amalgamated, illdefined serous acini of Von Ebner Salivary Gland (VESG). Subgroup II showed that the histological features of both tongue papillae were nearly comparable to that of the control group. Immunohistochemical examination showed minimum apoptotic changes in subgroup II as compared to subgroup I and nearly comparable to that of the control group. vitamin E showed an apparent protective role against the histological and apoptotic alterations caused by the toxic effect of AgNPs on both tongue papillae.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":"11 1","pages":"63-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42594067","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 study was conducted on 30 adult male rats that were divided into six groups, including one as the control group, and five as the experimental groups (Ahvaz, Ramhormoz, Andimeshk, Abadan, and Susangerd). Results showed that alanine aminotransferase increased in the groups of Ramhormoz, Andimeshk, Abadan, and Susangerd while Ahvaz showed a decrease. Alkaline phosphatase activity in all treated groups showed a significant increase compared to the control group. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase decreased in all samples, but only in Ahvaz and Susangerd groups it was significant compared to control group. Alpha-amylase activity was significantly increased in the groups of Ramhormoz, Andimeshk, Abadan, but decreased significantly in Ahvaz group, indicating a different value of harmful substances in dust particulates of these five cities. Serum urea level increased in all groups except Ahvaz, which was only significant in the group of Ramhormoz. Also, creatinine level decreased in all groups except Ahvaz. The results of this study showed that, the effect of fine dust was more evident in three cities of Ahvaz, Andimeshk and Ramhormoz due to the large amounts of total concentrations of heavy metals. Also, both the liver and the kidney were affected by both particulate matter, but it seems that the effect on the liver was more than the kidney.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":"10 1","pages":"315-326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44857437","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}

This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 60 water samples (30 samples of bottled water from 10 distribution brands of Ardabil city and 30 samples of inlet and outlet of household water treatment system). The concentration of fluoride was measured using the SPADNS standard method and spectrophotometer techniques. The SPSS version 22 software was used for analyzing the data. The concentration of fluoride in all samples was obtained to be in the range of 0 to 0.87 mg.l, with an average of 0.35 mg.l, which was less than the standard. According to the results, the concentration of fluoride in the studied groups was significantly different (P = 0.001). Moreover, the efficiency of the household water treatment system in the reduction of fluoride was observed to be 67.25%. Although the concentration of fluoride in most samples was lower than standard, further studies on other sources of fluoride, such as vegetables, tea, and so on, are required for accurate comment on fluoride deficiency in drinking water of one area.","PeriodicalId":15347,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Health Risks","volume":"10 1","pages":"327-335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46366315","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}
