Magnitude 9 earthquake in Japan(1) Easily lead to nuclear radiation types of cancer?

Backgrounder: METI nuclear safety and security of homes 14 announced, Fukushima Nuclear Power Station Unit 3 in the first 11:01 local time, hydrogen explosion occurred, the reactor where the building was damaged, but placing the reactor vessel was not damaged. Currently, the Japan Atomic Safety and Security Institute called the first nuclear power plant in Fukushima within a 20 km radius around the 600 residents of the house quickly to the refuge.

As has happened in human history, the atomic bomb, nuclear power plant leaks and other serious accidents, it is more and more insight into the vast and cold nuclear radiation lethality. How terrible nuclear radiation in the end? Nuclear leakage, explosion, nuclear radiation on the environment, human health will bring a long time, an immeasurable impact, and because of cancer caused by nuclear radiation is the most significant of a performance.
Carcinogenic radiation path -
Nuclear radiation are α, β, γ are three forms of radiation. α radiation can be blocked as long as a piece of paper, but a large inhalation hazard; β radiation burns after skin is exposed to significant; γ radiation and X-ray similar to the human body and can penetrate buildings, hazard distance.
How does nuclear radiation damage the human body from? Human body there are a lot of various molecules, nuclear radiation on the human body is first expressed in the destruction of these molecules, causing molecular properties change. However, the damage does not necessarily mean "cancer."
Only when the molecules can not repair damaged cells remained alive and the case of eventual uncontrolled cell replication, and finally grow into cancer cells, are considered because the occurrence of nuclear radiation causes cancer. However, it is undeniable that for a long time to accept a higher intensity of radiation will increase the possibility of human cancer.
Hot friends: Japan nuclear leak would cause a new round of cancer highlight?
Easily lead to nuclear radiation types of cancer?
According to the information retrieval found that the current radiation foreign pathogenic events occurring in patients with multiple manifestations of fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, skin redness, ulcers, bleeding, hair loss, leukemia, vomiting and diarrhea. Serious nuclear radiation will increase the cancer, distortion, the incidence of hereditary disease. In general, the body more energy radiation received, the more serious symptoms of radiation sickness, carcinogenic, teratogenic risk is also greater. Among them, those most vulnerable to nuclear radiation leukemia, lymphoma, skin cancer, thyroid cancer and other cancers.
Leukemia: high frequency radiation may be due to microwave radiation causes cells to change the DNA sequence or mutations, in particular the dramatic increase in white blood cells may lead to sudden imbalance of the immune system. After the atomic bombings in Japan, a sharp rise in leukemia patients that are powerful burst of nuclear radiation effects on human cells.
Lymphoma: Radioactive substances that can cause chromosome changes in lymphocytes a long period of radioactive material if the chronic injury state, cell survival is still difficult to repair themselves, the increased chance of cancer cells.
Skin cancer: in the nuclear radiation environment for people, human contact with the outside skin is the most widely used place. The face of volatile substances or diffuse radiation material, the skin will bear the brunt of exposure to risk. In addition, the yellow and white compared to white skin are more susceptible to radiation damage.
Thyroid cancer: If a large number of radioactive material released into the atmosphere, easy to mess with hair thyroid cancer, because these radioactive materials represent a large share of radioactive iodine, and iodine in human thyroid is the main gathering place, when the body is eating or inhalation of radioactive iodine, accumulation in the thyroid dose of radioactive iodine can damage the thyroid gland or surrounding tissue, a dose may induce thyroid cancer.

Housewives alert! Cleaning agents may cause infertility

Opportunities for women housework more than men in every day clothes washing, scrubbing pots and pans and disinfection, indoor insecticide and other household chores in addition to offensive, their skin and are suffering physical and mental health may be subtle influence of these chemicals infringement.
Skin damage
Washing powder, detergents, insecticides, toilet and other household spirits containing alkaline cleaning chemicals, blowing agents, fatty acids, protein and other organic matter, in which acid from the skin to suck out the water, so that protein coagulation; and alkali In addition to absorbing water exceptionally substances, but also enable organizations to protein denaturation and damage cell membranes, damage is more severe than acid.
Detergent contained in the cationic, anionic surfactant, to remove the oily protective layer of skin surface, and then the skin corrosion, damage to the skin are also high. Commonly used detergents can also cause facial appear Hudie Ban.
Immune dysfunction
Variety of chemicals in detergents can cause human allergic reactions. Some chemical substances into the human body can affect the lymphatic system, causing the body defenses are weakened; use clear fleas, termites, bedbugs and cockroaches in the pharmaceutical, would cause increased risk of lymphoma, human suffering; some of bleach, detergents, cleaning agents contain fluorescent agents, whitening ingredients, invades the human body, not - as easy as chemical composition is broken down, but accumulate in the human body, greatly reducing the human immune system.
Impede wound healing
Fluorescent agent but also to variability in human cells tend to occur, the cumulative toxicity in the liver or other vital organs, will be a potential carcinogen. Blood system damage: chemical substances easily contaminated human blood, although the blood has a certain self-purification capacity, into which small amounts of harmful substances will be diluted, decomposition, adsorption and discharge.
But the long-term, large amounts of toxic substances poured into the room will come to the qualitative change. Cleaning products in the chemicals into the blood circulation, will destroy the red blood cell membrane, causing hemolysis.
The source of blood contamination
Many compounds containing the essence of natural biological bath liquid, which often contain preservatives and other chemical substances, but also the source of blood contamination. Anti-moth-eaten clothes for the "camphor ball", the main component of coal tar naphthalene in isolated sperm. Long-term inhalation of camphor ball naphthalene gas, can cause chronic poisoning the body, inhibiting bone marrow function, people suffered from anemia, liver dysfunction and so on.
Increased risk of leukemia
According to the data show that women in the family placement of pesticides, the risk of leukemia than the absence of such items at home twice as high. Damage to the nervous system: some of the air cleaner in the synthetic aromatic substances contained in the nervous system can cause chronic poisoning, cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and other symptoms.
Pyrethrum insecticides containing toxic substances used to kill flies and other insects in the resin generally treated with dichlorvos, these toxic substances can be neurotoxic and induce cancer. Mix different types of cleaning agents may lead to more serious consequences. Reproductive system damage: chemical thinners, detergents containing chlorides most. Chloride in excess, can damage the female reproductive system.
Infertility
Detergents hydrocarbons, can cause loss of function of ovary; alkyl sulfonates such as chemical composition can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membrane. If pregnant women are often used, can cause degeneration of the egg, egg death. Scientists in the study of infertility process, discovered that many women are closely related infertility and long-term use of detergents. In the early stages of pregnancy, detergent chemicals also caused some of the risk of fetal malformations.
In view of household cleaners are many health hazards for women, women should pay attention to self-protection, usually should minimize the chance of exposure to chemicals. When using cleaning products, should take appropriate protective measures, such as wearing rubber gloves, use detergent laundry; physical contact with chemicals, to be more clean water; room and more windows open for ventilation and so on. When using cleaning products if dizziness, allergies and other adverse reactions, should be timely medical treatment.

15 early symptoms of cancer, do you know? part 2

Men and women should be noted:
1. Breast lumps. When women find the breast skin redness, lumps, will exceptionally careful. Non-lactating women, nipple retraction, and often out of the liquid, but also a bad signal. For men, if the breast skin wrinkling, shrinkage or asymmetrical nipples, nipple size and shape of changes, breast swelling, lumps appear, are inflammation of the performance of the nipple is breast cancer symptoms.
2. Pain. With increasing age, pain will increase. However, certain parts of the body and inexplicable pain for more than a week, find out the cause as soon as possible, because the reason the pain may be signs of cancer. For example, long-term pain is a symptom of colorectal cancer, chest pain may be caused by lung cancer, bone pain may be symptoms of cancer metastasis.
3. Lymph node changes. Experts point out that no matter which part of the body, especially the axillary lymph nodes or Jingbo appears, must not be taken lightly. If the lymph nodes is increasing steadily, more than 1 month, it is likely that the symptoms of breast cancer or brain cancer.
4. Fever. Fever usually caused by influenza, pneumonia, or inflammation caused by other, however, unexplained fever, it could be a dangerous sign. American Cancer Society, said the spread of cancer to other body organs, usually results in fever. Lymphoma, leukemia and other blood cancer also have a fever. Need to examine include: X-ray chest, CT scan, MRI and so on.
5. Weight inexplicably reduced. You can lose weight without strenuous indeed gratifying, but if neither increase physical activity within one month, was not any reduction of diet, body weight decreased by 10% but somehow, you should consult a doctor immediately. Sharp decline in body weight, anorexia, recurrent diarrhea and constipation are the most common form of lung, stomach, kidney cancer and colorectal cancer symptoms for women may also be hyperthyroidism.
6. Continued abdominal pain and with depression. If persistent pain and abdominal symptoms associated with depression, most likely with pancreatic cancer. Experts found significant relationship between depression and pancreatic cancer. Other symptoms include: jaundice or abnormal stool was gray.
7. Fatigue. In general, the feeling of fatigue, is a sign of cancer have been developed, but for leukemia, colon cancer and gastric cancer, it may be the early onset of fatigue. Cancer fatigue and general fatigue what is the difference? General fatigue rest will disappear, and no matter how off the fatigue of cancer, will find it difficult to improve.
8. Coughing. Unexplained persistent cough if more than 3-4 weeks, you should see a doctor promptly, it may be a sign of lung cancer or throat cancer.
9. Dysphagia. Long-term swallowing difficulties may be laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer symptoms, it should be as early as possible chest X-ray or gastroscopy. The so-called dysphagia, generally refers to chest pain when eating, esophageal foreign body sensation, even if some people do not eat, food will feel like a wall of leaves, debris or grain-like material attached, will feel after swallowing the food under the food down slow, or even stay in the esophagus.
10. Skin changes. Mass or the sudden appearance of skin pigmentation, and changes significantly, may be a sign of skin cancer was observed after a few weeks should seek medical care immediately. In addition, both young and old, once a sudden hemorrhage or abnormal skin peeling off, it should see a doctor.
11. Abnormal bleeding. Blood in the stool in addition to hemorrhoids, the symptoms of colorectal cancer is likely to be necessary, should accept the colon cancer screening colonoscopy. In the elderly over the age of 40, in addition to women outside the menstrual period, such as painless hematuria or dysuria should be wary of bladder cancer or kidney cancer. In addition to colorectal cancer than blood in the stool, if tumor growth near the anus may also occur thinning stool, increased frequency and other symptoms, or even cause bowel problems.
12. Oral changes. Smokers should pay special attention to the oral cavity and tongue, white patches appear, which may be a precursor to oral cancer --- leukoplakia.
13. Indigestion. Men (especially older men) and women (excluding pregnancy) for a long time unexplained persistent indigestion may be esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer, stomach cancer symptoms.
With the progress and development of medicine for cancer treatment has been expanded from a simple surgical treatment to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy and combination therapy in many ways, a lot of 5-year survival rate of malignant tumors has increased every year, and the quality of life also significantly improved the prognosis for most patients as healthy people can live a normal life, work and study. But these good results will depend on the treatment of cancer, early detection and standardized treatment.

Pregnant women often fish can reduce postpartum depression

Is that people like to eat fish fish food, it is nutritious, containing a large number of high quality protein and less fat, tender and tastes but also detailed, easy to digest. Recent studies have found that women are more suitable to eat more fish, less fat, which in addition to fish, eat fish low in calories, and women often difficult to gain weight, the fish of the women have the following number of "special" benefits.
First, the fetus during pregnancy good for fish
Danish scientists found that pregnant women eat fish frequently occur in preterm and low birth weight infants are not likely much lower than normal pregnant women eat fish or little fish. If once a week to eat fish during pregnancy, the possibility of preterm birth was only 1.9%, and never fish the possibility of premature delivery in pregnant women was 7.1%. The reason is the fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the effective increase to prevent preterm birth and the role of birth weight.
Second, pregnant women often fish can reduce the occurrence of depression
U.S. doctors found that pregnant women in the first 3 months of pregnancy from the fish intake of omega-3 more (of a fish 2 to 3 times per week), during pregnancy and after birth the less likely depression. Scientists explained that, omega-3 fatty acids in the brain is key "building blocks", the lack of food omega-3, a brain chemical called serotonin will be a corresponding small, low serotonin levels may cause or worsen depression .
Third, the fish can prevent breast cancer
Studies have said that in Japan, Korea, Scandinavia, Iceland low incidence of breast cancer in women, which they often eat the deep-sea fish related. Finnish researchers found that fish contains essential amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids can inhibit cancer cell formation, prevent cancer cell reproduction. If you eat fish twice a week can reduce the recurrence rate of breast cancer. Studies have shown that fish oil is better for breast cancer and lymphoma. Cancer can often choose food, sardines, herring, fish, squid and so on.
Fourth, slow down girl dysmenorrhea
Danish experts found that each day has a history of dysmenorrhea girl eating two grams of fish oil, after three months, these girls get improved dysmenorrhea. Experts believe that fish oils (including fish) rich in omega-3 fatty acids do for the Alleviation of dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, this fatty acid intake of young girls and more often is to eat fish, it is best to eat deep-sea salmon, tuna fish.
In addition, women eat more fish can reduce the incidence of stroke, diabetes, women who often eat fish can prevent heart disease and other complications appear. It should be noted: risk of bleeding sexually transmitted diseases (including blood of patients), gout, allergies to fish for pregnant women, it is best not to eat fish.
