9 ± 2.8 ng/mL) and serum (124.6 ± 46.7 ng/mL) samples of women with miscarriage were significantly lower of those with preterm delivery (180.6 ± 54.4 ng/mL; 18.1 ± 4.4 ng/mL) and of those with term delivery (20.4 ± 8.5 ng/mL; 208.7 ± 114.3 ng/mL). Successful pregnancy after IVF procedure is predictable by measuring of urine and serum PIBF concentrations and could be important for predicting of early implantation and pregnancy outcome after IVF procedure and maybe to protect the risk pregnancy.A series of ruthenium(II)-arene complexes of several bipyridine and phenanthroline derivatives have been synthesized by employing a green and efficient protocol involving water as a solvent under sonication. Complement System inhibitor The structures of all the complexes were elucidated by the spectroscopic analysis. The geometry of the chlorido and PTA (1,3,5-Triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) complexes were further confirmed by DFT and single crystal XRD. The stability study in various solvents, specifically in the intracellular one was conducted. Most of the compounds exhibited significant potency and selectivity against MCF7 and HeLa cell lines with respect to normal HEK-293 cells compared to cisplatin and RAPTA-C (Ruthenium(II)-arene PTA complex). Complex [(η6-hexamethylbenzene)RuCl(κ2-N,N-4,4'-di-n-nonyl-2,2'-bpy)]Cl (3e) presented best anticancer profiles against all the human cancer cells. Interestingly, few complexes turned up to be highly fluorescent depicted by the quantum yield values. Remarkably, [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl(κ2-N,N-bpy)]Cl (3i) was identified as most significant anticancer theranostic agent interms of potency, selectivity and fluorescence quantum yield. This complex also represented itself as significant cellular imaging agent in live U-87 MG cells which was monitored by confocal microscope. Absorption and emission spectral studies of bypyridine and phenanthroline complex series revealed that the complexes interacted with calf thymus DNA through groove binding as well as intercalative mode. In addition to this, strong binding efficacy of these scaffolds wih BSA (Bovin Serum Albumin) also enhanced their transportation property inside the cells.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants in atmosphere, which attracted more attentions due to their influence on human health. In this study, a national scale cancer risk (CR) assessment with atmospheric PAHs were conducted based on one year monitoring program at 11 cities across China. The annual mean concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and BaP equivalency (BaPeq) were 4.56 ± 7.78 ng/m3 and 8.45 ± 14.1 ng/m3, respectively, which were both higher than the new ambient air quality standards of China (GB 3095-2012, 1 ng/m3). Concentrations of BaP and BaPeq in northern Chinese cities were almost 2 times higher than those in southern Chinese cities. The CR values induced by the dermal contact exposure were two orders of magnitude higher than that by the inhalation exposure. Children and adults were the most sensitive age groups with the dermal contact exposure and the inhalation exposure to atmospheric PAHs, respectively. For the total CR values, 99.7% of its values were higher than the reference level of 10-6. No significant difference of the total CR values was observed between northern Chinese and southern Chinese cities for children and adults. In order to quantify the uncertainties of CR assessment, Monte Carlo Simulation was applied based on the specific distributions of the exposure factors cited from the Exposure Factors Handbook of Chinese Population. The results indicated that almost 90% probability of the total CR values were higher than 10-6, indicating potential cancer risk. Sensitive analysis indicated that atmospheric concentration, outdoor exposure fraction, particle amount adhered to skin, and cancer slope factor should be carefully considered in order to increase the accuracy of CR assessment with PAHs in atmosphere.In recent years, with the
