Prenatal Exposure, Maternal Sensitization, and Sensitization In Utero To Indoor Allergens in an Inner-City Cohort
Rachel L. Miller,Ginger L. Chew,Courtney A. Bell,Stephanie A. Biedermann,Maneesha Aggarwal,Patrick L. Kinney,Wei-Yann Tsai,Robin M. Whyatt,Frederica P. Perera,Jean G. Ford +9 more
TL;DR: In utero sensitization to multiple indoor antigens is common, occurs to a different degree than maternal sensitization, and may involve IL-5 upregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomarkers of Environmental Tobacco Smoke in Preschool Children and Their Mothers
Florence G. Crawford,J. Mayer,Regina M. Santella,Thomas B. Cooper,Ruth Ottman,Wei-Yann Tsai,Gabriela Simon-Cereijido,Margaret Wang,Deliang Tang,Frederica P. Perera +9 more
TL;DR: ETS exposure of young children via their mothers' smoking is associated with increases not only in the internal dose of cotinine, which has been previously reported, but also in the biologically effective dose of the carcinogenic (PAH) components of ETS ( PAH-albumin adducts).
Journal ArticleDOI
PAH-DNA adducts in cord blood and fetal and child development in a Chinese cohort.
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between prenatal PAH exposure and fetal and child growth and development in Tongliang, China, where a seasonally operated coal-fired power plant was the major pollution source was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Epidemiology: On the Path to Prevention?
TL;DR: Progress toward that goal is evaluated by using as examples well-studied environmental exposures-i.e., tobacco smoke, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aflatoxin B(1), benzene, and hepatitis B virus-and their roles in lung, breast, and liver cancers and leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal acetaminophen exposure and risk of wheeze at age 5 years in an urban low-income cohort
Matthew S. Perzanowski,Rachel L. Miller,Deliang Tang,David Ali,Robin Garfinkel,Ginger L. Chew,Inge F. Goldstein,Frederica P. Perera,R. Graham Barr +8 more
TL;DR: Prenatal exposure to acetaminophen predicted wheeze at age 5 years in an inner-city minority cohort and the risk was modified by a functional polymorphism in GSTP1, suggesting a mechanism involving the glutathione pathway.
