Lead exposure from the use of Lawsonia inermis (henna) in temporary paint-on-tattooing and hair dying.
This study reports the evaluation of a number of spectroscopic techniques used in identifying and quantifying the presence of lead in twelve commercial and traditional henna samples. The lead levels found in henna were low with concentrations ranging from 2.29 ppm to 65.98 ppm. Henna is used as a traditional cosmetic and remedy in the Middle East, Far East, and North Africa. The very low concentrations of lead measured in these henna samples were reassuring; however, the cumulative effects of prolonged lead exposure may be of concern. Thus, the use of henna especially among children may constitute a public health risk.
[Objective]To compare safety and immunogenicity of rhesus after vaccination of Hepatitis A(Live) Vaccine,freeze-dried manufactured by cell factories and roller bottles process.[Methods]Vaccine should be injected by intravenous injection,observe the clinical symptoms,signs,biochemical,immunological reactions and pathological changes of liver tissues of rhesus.[Results]No abnormal clinical signs were observed from both groups,ALT,anti-HAV antibody were persistently positive during the observation period,no viral hepatitis pathological changes on liver tissues.[Conclusion]The immune effect of manufacturing process of cell factories and roller bottles of Hepatitis A(Live) Vaccine,freeze-dried are the same,they all have good protective effect from Hepatitis A.
