Levels of Urinary Metabolites of Organophosphate Flame Retardants, TDCIPP, and TPHP, in Pregnant Women in Shanghai.

Journal of environmental and public health
Flame retardants are widely used in consumer products to reduce their flammability. Previously used flame retardants have been sequentially banned due to their environmental and human toxicity. Currently, tris(1,3-dichloropropyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) a...

Maternal serum concentrations of perfluoroalkyl acids in five international birth cohorts.

International journal of hygiene and environmental health
BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are persistent and bioaccumulating compounds, which are spread all over the globe. We aimed to compare the PFAA concentrations in serum from pregnant women in five birth cohorts from four countries (Denmark, C...

The development of loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with lateral flow dipstick for detection of Karlodinium veneficum.

Harmful algae
The aim of this study was to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) combined with a chromatographic lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay to rapidly and specifically detect the Karlodinium veneficum ITS gene. Four groups of LAMP primers ...

Simultaneous Determination of Five Active Components in the Chinese Patent Medicine Niuhuang Jiangya Pill by HPLC-MS/MS.

Journal of AOAC International
Niuhuang Jiangya (NHJY) pill is one of the well-known Chinese patent medicines in China used in the treatment of high blood pressure. The primary purpose of this study was to establish and validate a method using HPLC with tandem MS for the quality e...

Plasma Transfusion in Patients With Cirrhosis in China: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study.

Transfusion medicine reviews
Patients with cirrhosis used to be associated with frequent use of blood components because of their complex disorder of hemostasis and bleeding complications. Recent findings have indicated that patients with cirrhosis have a state of "rebalanced" o...

Antihemolytic and antioxidant properties of pearl powder against 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride-induced hemolysis and oxidative damage to erythrocyte membrane lipids and proteins.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Pearl powder, a well-known traditional mineral medicine, is reported to be used for well-being and to treat several diseases from centuries in Taiwan and China. We investigated the in vitro antihemolytic and antioxidant properties of pearl powder tha...

Detecting negation and scope in Chinese clinical notes using character and word embedding.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Researchers have developed effective methods to index free-text clinical notes into structured database, in which negation detection is a critical but challenging step. In Chinese clinical records, negation detection is par...

Evaluating semantic similarity between Chinese biomedical terms through multiple ontologies with score normalization: An initial study.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Semantic similarity estimation significantly promotes the understanding of natural language resources and supports medical decision making. Previous studies have investigated semantic similarity and relatedness estimation between biomedic...

Evaluating the predictability of PM grades in Seoul, Korea using a neural network model based on synoptic patterns.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
As of November 2014, the Korean Ministry of Environment (KME) has been forecasting the concentration of particulate matter with diameters ≤ 10 μm (PM) classified into four grades: low (PM ≤ 30 μg m), moderate (30 < PM ≤ 80 μg m), high (80 < PM ≤ 150 ...

A Hybrid Short-Term Traffic Flow Prediction Model Based on Singular Spectrum Analysis and Kernel Extreme Learning Machine.

PloS one
Short-term traffic flow prediction is one of the most important issues in the field of intelligent transport system (ITS). Because of the uncertainty and nonlinearity, short-term traffic flow prediction is a challenging task. In order to improve the ...
