Erosion and leaching are important processes of mercury release from superficial soil. However, experimental studies have shown that mercury emissions by degassing of contaminated and non-contaminated soils play an important role on mercury transfer from soil to air. Therefore, the objective of this work was to estimate the emission of Hg0 from soils under different uses (pasture and forest). And yet, compare t...
Chronic inflammation is involved in the initiation and progression of various cancers, including liver cancer. The current study focuses on the characterization of the peripheral immune response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients, before and after surgical procedure, in order to assess the effect of tumor resection in the immune system homeostasis and to determine possible p...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) represent the most common primary liver malignancies whose outcome is influenced by the immune response. In the present study, we evaluated the tumor-infiltrating leukocyte (TIL) populations in 21 HCC patients and 8 CCA patients by flow cytometry immediately after the surgical procedure. Moreover, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, monocytes, and macrophages ...
