2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a prototype of many halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, is a ubiquitous, persistent environmental contaminant and the most powerful carcinogen categorized by IARC. It is display high toxicity in animals and is associated with several cancers in human. Although the mechanism of carcinogenesis by TCDD is unclear, it is considered to be a non-genotoxic and rumor promoter.(omitted)

We investigated the effects of gestational and lactational exposures to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on the differential induction of CYP1A1 in the levels of protein and gene expression in the liver and brain regions of offspring rats. For this study, pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were orally exposed to TCDD (1 or 10 ng/kg body weight/day) starting at Day 1 of gestation up to Day 20 of postpartum. (omitted)

Exposure of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) causes a variety of biological and toxicology effects, most of which are mediated by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). The ligand-bound AhR as a heterodimer with AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT) binds to its specific DNA recognition site, the dioxin-responsive element (DRE), and it results in increased transcription of CVP1A1 gene.(omitted)

The present main research direction of waste treatment is the development of incineration system for low pollution. Also, heat value of waste is increased because of the rising of living standard, environmental consideration and collection of sorted waste for recycling. Therefore, many researches have been continued for solving ash problem including heavy metals, dioxin problem and high energy efficiency by use of high heat value. This study is described for the facilities of pyrolysis system, pyrolysis-melting system, pyrolysis-gasification melting system.

A simple and reproducible pretreatment method was developed for the determination of dioxins in milk sample. Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was used for the initial extraction of the analyte from milk. For the elimination of interferences coextracted from milk, acid treatment followed by multilayer silica gel, and then alumina column clean-up were performed. The clean extract could be obtained without carbon column or high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) clean-up procedure. Polychlorinated biphenyles (PCBS) and dioxins were separated on neutral alumina activated at 180 ℃ for 12 hours. The final extract was analyzed by HPLC and high resolution gas chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/HRMS). The recovery of dioxins spiked in milk at 75-300 ppt level was 83.3-98.9% and their relative standard deviation was 4.1-14%.

The present study was performed to examine mitogen-activated protein kinase associated pathways in mediation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced cell apoptosis in cultured Jurkat T cells. TCDD significantly decreased cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner (p<0.05 at 10-300 nM). TCDD (10 nM) also time-dependently decreased cell viability (p<0.05 at 12-48 h). c-Jun NH$_2$-terminal kinase was significantly phosphorylated with TCDD treatment in a time dependent manner.

The ligand-bound AhR as a heterodimer with AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT) binds to its specific DNA recognition site, the dioxin-responsive element (DRE), and it results in increased transcription of CYP1A1 gene. Retinoic acid (RA) regulates the transcription of various genes for several essential functions through binding to two classes of nuclear receptors, the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR).

Saururus chinensis Baill (Saururaceae) is a perennial plant that has been used in the treatment of edema, jaundice and gonorrhea in Korean folk medicine. This study was carried out to investigate the inhibitive effects of Saururus chinensis Baill (SCB) on lipid metabolism in Sprague-DaweIy rat(SD-rat) accutely exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD). After 7 days from TCDD(1$\mu$g/kg) injection, SCB(200mg/kg) was administered into rats intraperitoneally for 4 weeks. (omitted)
