Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely spreading environmental endocrine disruptor . Its characteristics, including small doses and frequent contact, make it easy to enter human body through drinking water, food, air and other pathways, leading to tumors, infertility, and liver damage. The present review summarizes the underlying mechanism of oxidative stress and its related effects induced by BPA in the liver. The progress of the mechanism for oxidative stress induced by BPA is summarized, including mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation and inflammation reaction, liver dyslipidemia, apoptosis, and cell death mechanism. In the future, it is necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and timing of oxidative stress to clarify the effects on different exposures to different genders and growth stages. Besides, studying the toxic effects on BPA surrogates, BPA metabolites and BPA combined with other pollutants in the environment is beneficial to clarify the environmental and human health effects of BPA and provide technical reference for the development of practical control measures.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), is a common contaminant in diverse environmental compartments and its endocrine disruptive effect on living organisms has been widely reported. Further works are still required to facilitate the research on cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. In the present study, grass carp ovary (GCO) cells were used to investigate cellular oxidative stress and genomic DNA methylation under BPA exposure. Results showed that BPA exposure for 48 h arrested cell proliferation and viability. The oxidative stress was distinctly enhanced with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde level, and oxidation of reduced glutathione (GSH) in 30 μM BPA group. Furthermore, the global 5-methylcytosine (5 mC) level was elevated and showed inverted U-shaped responses to the BPA doses. Besides, one-carbon metabolism and de novo GSH synthesis were disrupted at 30 μM BPA. Current data suggested that low dose of BPA exposure could exhibit hormesis in recycling circular biosynthesis of GSH and scavenging ROS to create a relatively reductive intracellular environment, and up-regulate transcripts of methyltransferases that increased the 5 mC level in GCO cells. While high dose of BPA distinctly induced oxidative stress, elevated de novo GSH synthesis, and then attenuated transmethylation activity and decreased 5 mC level. Current study highlighted the discrepant dose responses of BPA in fish ovary cells that facilitated the understanding of pleiotropic consequences in organisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Due to increasing of aesthetic demand, ceramic crowns are widely used in different situations. However, to obtain long-term prognosis of restorations, a good conversion of resin cement is necessary. To evaluate the degree of conversion (DC) of one light-cure and two dual-cure resin cements under a simulated clinical cementation of ceramic crowns. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prepared teeth were randomly split according to the ceramic's material, resin cement and curing protocol. The crowns were cemented as per manufacturer's directions and photoactivated either from occlusal suface only for 60 s; or from the buccal, occlusal and lingual surfaces, with an exposure time of 20 s on each aspect. After cementation, the specimens were stored in deionized water at 37°C for 7 days. Specimens were transversally sectioned from occlusal to cervical surfaces and the DC was determined along the cement line with three measurements taken and averaged from the buccal, lingual and approximal aspects using micro-Raman spectroscopy (Alpha 300R/WITec®). Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Tukey test at =5%. RESULTS Statistical analysis showed significant differences among cements, curing protocols and ceramic type (p<0.001). The curing protocol 3x20 resulted in higher DC for all tested conditions; lower DC was observed for Zr ceramic crowns; Duolink resin cement culminated in higher DC regardless ceramic composition and curing protocol. CONCLUSION The DC of resin cement layers was dependent on the curing protocol and type of ceramic.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) has become a target of intense public scrutiny since concerns about its association with human diseases such as obesity, diabetes, reproductive disorders, and cancer have emerged. BPA is a highly prevalent chemical in consumer products, and human exposure is thought to be ubiquitous. Numerous studies have demonstrated its endocrine disrupting properties and attributed exposure with cytotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic effects; however, the results of these studies are still highly debated and a consensus about BPA's safety and its role in human disease has not been reached. One of the contributing factors is a lack of molecular mechanisms or modes of action that explain the diverse and pleiotropic effects observed after BPA exposure. The increase in BPA research seen over the last ten years has resulted in more studies that examine molecular mechanisms and revealed links between BPA-induced oxidative stress and human disease. Here, a review of the current literature examining BPA exposure and the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or oxidative stress will be provided to examine the landscape of the current BPA literature and provide a framework for understanding how induction of oxidative stress by BPA may contribute to the pleiotropic effects observed after exposure.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a commonly used material in daily life, and it is argued to cause oxidative stress in liver and ovarian tissue. α-Lipoic acid (ALA) and α-tocopherol (ATF), two of the most effective antioxidants, may play a role in preventing the toxic effect. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the beneficial effects of ALA, ATF, and that of ALA + ATF combination on oxidative damage induced by BPA. Female Wistar rats were divided into five groups (control, BPA, BPA + ALA, BPA + ATF, and BPA + ALA + ATF). BPA (25 mg/kg/day), ALA (100 mg/kg/day), and ATF (20 mg/kg/day) were administered for 30 days. The levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), liver malondialdehyde (L-MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (L-GPx), and ovarian malondialdehyde (Ov-MDA) and nitric oxide (Ov-NO) were significantly higher in the BPA-treated groups compared with the control group. The levels of AST and ALT decreased in the BPA + ALA, BPA + ATF, and BPA + ALA + ATF groups compared with the BPA group. Similarly, BPA + ALA or BPA + ATF led to decreases in L-MDA and Ov-MDA levels compared with the BPA group. However, the BPA + ALA + ATF group showed a significant decrease in L-MDA levels compared with the BPA + ALA group and the BPA + ATF group. The levels of L-GPx decreased in the BPA + ATF and the BPA + ALA + ATF groups compared with the BPA group. The administration of ATF and ALA + ATF significantly decreased the Ov-NO levels. This study demonstrates that BPA causes oxidative damage in liver and ovarian tissues. ALA, ATF, or their combination were found to be beneficial in preventing BPA-induced oxidative stress.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well known endocrine disruptor. Significantly less is known about its ability to induce antioxidant defense and oxidative stress in aquatic organisms. This is an interesting subject because BPA can act both as a prooxidant (induces the formation of reactive oxygen species) and an antioxidant. The aim of the present study was to elucidate if BPA induces changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and the level of lipid peroxidation in crustacean Daphnia magna. These biomarkers were followed after acute (48h) and chronic (21d) exposure period. Interestingly, CAT and GSTs were changed in the same manner after both exposure durations. The most observable change in daphnids was the increase of GSTs activities, measured with 1,2-chloro-4-dinitrobenzene as a substrate. No GSTs activities with ethacrynic acid and 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene as substrates were detected. The activity of CAT and the level of lipid peroxidation remained unchanged in daphnids exposed to sublethal concentrations of BPA. The reproduction rate was considerably affected already at 1.73mg/L while the growth was only affected at the highest concentration (13.8mg/L), where also significant mortality was observed.

Abstract
Waterborne polyurethane-acrylic hybrid nanoparticles for application as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) were prepared by one-step miniemulsion polymerization. The addition of polyurethane to a standard waterborne acrylic formulation results in a large increase in the cohesive strength and hence a much higher shear holding time (greater than seven weeks at room temperature), which is a very desirable characteristic for PSAs. However, with the increase in cohesion, there is a decrease in the relative viscous component, and hence there is a decrease in the tack energy. The presence of a small concentration of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the acrylic copolymer led to phase separation within the particles and created a hemispherical morphology. The tack energy was particularly low in the hybrid containing MMA because of the effects of lower energy dissipation and greater cross-linking. These results highlight the great sensitivity of the viscoelastic and adhesive properties to the details of the polymer network architecture and hence to the precise composition and synthesis conditions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bisphenol-A (BPA) is used to manufacture dental materials such as sealants, fillings and cements. There is evidence of its estrogenic effects on recipients after the placement of dental sealants. Pituitary and especially prolactin (PRL) cells are targets for estrogens. OBJECTIVES The aim of this research was to determine if BPA eluted from dental resins can alter the proliferation of pituitary cells and PRL cells in the short, medium and long term in a case-control assay. METHODS Two dental fillings were inserted in the lower incisors of Wistar rats divided into groups sacrificed after one, three, five and seven months. Immunocytochemical treatment was carried out in order to determine proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) positive cells, PRL-positive cells, PRL- and PCNA-positive cells. RESULTS A significant increase of PCNA-positive cells after one (p < 0.05), three (p < 0.01) and five months (p < 0.01) was recorded. PRL-positive cells showed no statistically significant difference between intervened animals and controls. PRL- and PCNA-positive cells manifested a significant increase after five months (p < 0.05). A significant decrease in proliferating cells was observed after seven months (p < 0.05) for PCNA-positive cells and (p < 0.01) for PRL- and PCNA-positive cells. CONCLUSION Low quantities of BPA eluted during mastication can affect immunocytochemical patterns of pituitary cells, increasing cellular proliferation in the short, medium and long term although PRL cell population remained unaffected after dental fillings.

Abstract
To clarify the mechanism of phenol toxicity, the radical-scavenging activity of 2- or 2,6-di-tert-butyl- and 2-methoxy-substituted phenols was investigated by combining two distinct approaches: first, the induction period method for methacrylate polymerization initiated by benzoyl peroxide or 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile; and secondly, 1,1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging test. The homolytic bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) and ionization potential (IP(koopman)) were calculated by the DFT/B3LYP method. The cytotoxicity was investigated using tumor cells (human submandibular gland carcinoma cells, HSG; human promyelocytic leukemia cells, HL-60) and primary cells (human gingival fibroblasts, HGF; human periodontal ligament fibroblasts, HPLF; human pulp fibroblasts, HPF) derived from oral tissues. The cytotoxicity between tumor and primary cells was similar, except for eugenol dimer showing less toxicity for primary cells. The DPPH assay was not useful for tert-butylphenols due to their steric hindrance. For both HSG and HGF cells, a linear relationship was found between 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC(50)) and inhibition rate constant (k(inh)), but not BDE, IP, or logP. The acceptable quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) obtained for cytotoxicity vs. k(inh) suggested that the cytotoxicity of phenols may be dependent on radical reactions. The cytotoxicity of vanillin and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-benzaldehyde with large k(inh) values, weak antioxidants was markedly less than that of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol and curcumin with small k(inh) values, potent antioxidants.

Abstract
Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a well-known xenoestrogen in mammalian systems that can affect reproduction also in aquatic organisms. In this work the possible effects of BPA were investigated in the hepatopancreas of the bivalve mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis: mussels were injected with different amounts of BPA (3-60ng/g dw tissue) and tissues sampled at 24h post-injection. Expression of different Mytilus genes was evaluated by RT-Q-PCR: BPA exposure increased the expression of MeER2 and induced downregulation of antioxidant genes, catalase and metallothioneins. Moreover, BPA induced changes in activity of catalase, GSH transferase (GST) and GSSG reductase (GSR), and in total glutathione content. A decrease in lysosomal membrane stability and increased neutral lipid accumulation were also observed. The results were compared with those obtained with similar concentrations of 17beta-estradiol. These data demonstrate that BPA can alter gene expression, activities of enzymes involved in redox balance, and lysosomal function in molluscan hepatopancreas, a tissue involved in the control of metabolism and gamete maturation. Overall, these data indicate that BPA, at environmentally relevant concentrations, can have both estrogen-like and distinct effects in invertebrates like in vertebrates.

Abstract
The lipid antioxidative activities of polyphenols with high oxygen radical capacities need to be measured at low oxygen tensions. In this study, differences in the reactivity of catechins and resveratrols towards alkyl (R*) and peroxy (PhCOO*) radicals were observed at lower oxygen pressures. The radical scavenging activities for catechin, epicatechin, resveratrol and n-propyl gallate with or without 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI), a thiol were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) monitoring of the polymerization of methyl methacrylates (MMA) initiated by 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, an R* radical) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO, an PhCOO* radical) at 70 degrees C under nearly anaerobic conditions. Catechin, epicatechin and resveratrol with MMI, but not n-propyl gallate showed the less length of induction period than that for corresponding ones without MMI, probably resulting from the reaction of MMI radicals with molecular oxygen in the system. Also, the inhibitory rate of propagation (R(inh)) for catechin and resveratrol in the BPO system was much more greater than that in the AIBN system. The reactivity of catechins and resveratrol with R() or PhCOO* radical was considerably different, whereas n-propyl gallate did not different between radicals under nearly anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
The color of mammalian skin is determined by many factors, for which visible ones are the degree and distribution of melanin pigmentation. Because tyrosinase, (polyphenol oxidase) is the key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, the use of various tyrosinase inhibitors is a common practice for whitening purpose in cosmetics. In the present study, the inhibition of tyrosinase by 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl (44'-BP) was investigated. In addition to tyrosinase inhibiting activity, melanin biosynthesis was assessed in B16F10 melanoma cells (B16 cells). The results showed that 44'-BP exhibits a strong anti-tyrosinase activity with IC50=1.91 microM. The kinetic analysis of tyrosinase inhibition revealed that 44'-BP acts a competitive inhibitor (Ki=4.0 x 10(-4) M at 2.5 microM and Ki =21 x 10(-5) M at 5 microM). Furthermore, data on melanin biosynthesis indicated that the amount of melanin was clearly suppressed by 44'-BP.

Abstract
To clarify the radical-scavenging activity of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a food additive, stoichiometric factors (n) and inhibition rate constants (kinh) were determined for 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and its metabolites 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone (BHT-Q), 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (BHA-CHO) and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-one (BHT-OOH). Values of n and kinh were determined from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) monitoring of the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO) at 70 degrees C in the presence or absence of antioxidants (BHT-related compounds). The n values declined in the order BHT (1-2) > BHT-CHO, BHT-OOH (0.1-0.3) > BHT-Q ( approximately 0). The n value for BHT with AIBN was approximately 1.0, suggesting dimerization of BHT. The kinh values declined in the order BHT-Q ((3.5-4.6) x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)) > BHT-OOH (0.7-1.9 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)) > BHT-CHO ((0.4-1.7 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)) > BHT ((0.1-0.2 x 10(4) M(-1)s(-1)). The kinh for metabolites was greater than that for the parent BHT. Growing MMA radicals initiated by BPO were suppressed much more efficiently by BHT or BHT-Q compared with those initiated by AIBN. BHT was effective as a chain-breaking antioxidant.

Abstract
In this work, the photooxidation of bisphenol A (BPA), a suspected endocrine disruptor (ED), in water in the presence of ferric and oxalate ions was investigated in a concentric reactor under a 125 W high-pressure mercury lamp (lambda> or = 365 nm). The photooxidation efficiencies were dependent on the pH values and ferric/oxalate concentration ratios (Fe(III)/Ox) in the water, with higher efficiency at pH 3.50+/-0.05 and Fe(III)/Ox 10.0/120.0 micromol l(-1). The initial rate of photooxidation increases with increasing the initial concentration of BPA from 2.0 to 5.0 mg l(-1) while do not change at 5.0 and 10.0 mg l(-1). However, higher removal efficiency of BPA is archived at lower BPA initial concentration over range of 2.0 to 10.0 mg l(-1). For 2.0 mg l(-1) BPA, the initial rate of photooxidation is 0.06 mg l(-1)min(-1). By using UV-Vis spectrum and LC-MS techniques, the predominant photooxidation product BPA-o-catechol was identified and the mechanisms for the oxidative degradation were proposed. When BPA reacted with OH radicals, C atoms in 3-position were added with OH radicals followed by O2 peroxidation and HO2 radical escape. Then catechol derivatives were produced. After that, the two H atoms on the hydroxy group were extracted in two individual steps to form intermediates semiquinone radical and o-quinone. The intermediates underwent further oxidation, benzene ring cleavage and decarboxylation, up to mineralization ultimately.

Abstract
Identification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that contribute to bisphenol-A (BPA) degradation and monitoring of BPA at various concentrations in human serum under Fenton reaction conditions were carried out using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). BPA recovery decreased with increasing Fe concentration and time, both with a Fenton reaction using Fe(II), and with a Fenton-like reaction using Fe(III). In these reactions, BPA dose-dependently decreased the intensity of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO)-*OH, up to 1 microg/ml BPA, and no change in DMPO-O(2)(?-) intensity was observed. The decrease in BPA recovery was inhibited strongly by addition of serum under Fenton-like reaction conditions, and there was a negative correlation between turbidity and BPA recovery. To clarify the mechanism by which serum inhibits BPA degradation, the relationship between BPA recovery and sample turbidity, and characteristics of the precipitates were investigated using spectrophotometry and X-ray analysis. The precipitate formed in the serum-containing sample consisted of C, S, O, P and Fe. BPA degradation was also inhibited under Fenton-like reaction conditions in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and a precipitate consisting of O, P, and Fe appeared. Precipitates also appeared in authentic albumin and gamma-globulin when sulfate was added with Fenton reagents. After precipitate removal, both Fe and protein concentrations in the supernatant of the protein solutions with sulfate decreased with increasing Fe addition. We demonstrate here that hydroxyl radical generation from Fenton or Fenton-like reactions can degrade BPA, and that serum strongly inhibits BPA degradation, not only by competing with BPA for hydroxyl radicals, but also by trapping Fe with oxidative components present in the serum.

Abstract
We investigated the modifications in endogenous antioxidant capacity and oxidative damage in the brain, liver, kidney and testis in mice exposed to bisphenol A (BPA), an environmental endocrine disrupter. Mice were exposed to BPA throughout embryonic/fetal life and during lactation by feeding their pregnant/lactating mothers BPA at 5 or 10 microg per milliliter of drinking water. At the age of four weeks, male mice were sacrificed. Exposure to BPA increased the activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the liver and kidney, respectively. It also increased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in the brain, kidney and testis, and decreased the wet weight of the brain, kidney and testis. Our results suggest that exposure to BPA throughout embryonic/fetal life and during infancy induces tissue oxidative stress and peroxidation, ultimately leading to underdevelopment of the brain, kidney and testis.

Abstract
To investigate bisphenol-A (BPA) degradation in seawater using Fenton reagents, changes in the BPA recovery and in the concentration of BPA metabolite, BPA-o-quinone in the three water samples; BPA free deionizad water (control water), 3% aq. NaCl and seawater as a function of time after BPA fortification in the presence of radical oxygen species (ROS) at 20 degrees C were investigated. The BPA recoveries were lower in both 3% aq. NaCl and seawater than in the control water. The BPA recovery in aq. NaOCl decreased as a function of NaOCl concentration, indicating that BPA could be degraded by the potent radical ion (OCl-) at the concentration of above 2 microM. A BPA metabolite, BPA-o-quinone was formed in all the water samples after addition of ROS which was produced by Fenton reaction (reaction of 0.11 M H2O2 and 0.44 mM FeCl3.6H2O). These results indicated that BPA degradation could occur by an addition of ROS and further accelerated by the formation of OCl- in salt containing water samples. BPA recovery was the highest in seawater immediately after addition of Fenton reagents and the amount of BPA-o-quinone was very low, which suggests that seawater possesses an inhibitory system on BPA degradation. There was a positive correlation (p<0.01) between the fortified iron concentration and turbidity in seawater. Turbidity might be originated from iron-binding substances. Degradation threshold of BPA was observed when Fenton reaction was employed in seawater fortified with high amount of BPA. The present study suggested that iron trapping caused an inhibition on BPA degradation by Fenton reagents.

Abstract
The metabolism of bisphenol A (BPA), a suspected endocrine disruptor, should be considered for monitoring human exposure to BPA, because the conjugation with beta-D-glucuronide and sulfate reduces the estrogenic activity. In this study, BPA levels in 30 healthy Koreans (men, N=15, 42.6+/-2.4 years; women, N=15, 43.0+/-2.7 years) were analyzed from urine treated with/without beta-glucuronidase and/or sulfatase by an RP-HPLC with fluorescence detection. The total BPA concentrations including free BPA and the urinary conjugates were similar in men and women (2.82+/-0.73 and 2.76+/-0.54 ng ml(-1), respectively), but gender differences were found in the levels of urinary BPA conjugates. Men had significantly higher levels of BPA-glucuronide (2.34+/-0.85 ng ml(-1)) than women (1.00+/-0.34 ng ml(-1)), whereas women had higher levels of BPA-sulfate (1.20+/-0.32 ng ml(-1)) than men (0.49+/-0.27 ng ml(-1)).

Abstract
We investigated the modifications in endogenous antioxidant capacity, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase, oxidative stress index, reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulfide (GSSG), and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) in the brain, liver, kidney, and testes of mice under bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupter, treated for 5 days. BPA was administrated intraperitoneally at doses of 25 and 50mg/kg/day. The TBARS levels were not affected by BPA administrations. The SOD activities increased and the catalase activities decreased in the liver after BPA administration. The GPx activity decreased in the kidney. The levels of GSH+GSSG increased in the brain, kidney, liver, and testes, while, the levels of GSH decreased in the testes. SOD converts superoxide into hydrogen peroxide, and catalase and GPx convert hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen oxide. Our results suggest that the injection of BPA induces overproduction of hydrogen peroxide in the mouse organs. Hydrogen peroxide is easily converted to hydroxy radical. The decrease of GSH and the increase of GSSG may be caused by the hydroxy radical. BPA may show its toxicity by increasing hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
In this study, (1) change in the concentration of bisphenol A (BPA) leached from polycarbonate (PC) tube to control water (BPA free), seawater and river water at 20 and 37 degrees C as a function of time, (2) the fate of BPA caused by addition of H(2)O(2) and Fe(3+) to seawater containing BPA leached from PC tube were assessed. BPA leached from PC tube to all water samples increased with the ascendant of temperature and with the passage of time. The BPA leaching velocity in seawater was the fastest in three samples (11 ng/day for seawater, 4.8 ng/day for river water 0.8 ng/day for control water at 37 degrees C).BPA leaching velocity from PC tube was significantly high at pH 8 (50 mM Na(2)HPO(4)) and increased dose-dependently. There was no difference in the velocity of BPA among the 50 mM phosphate-buffers at pH 6.5, 7.0 and 7.5. BPA was leached three times higher by addition of Na(+) than K(+). However, the higher the K(+) concentration, the larger the BPA leached from PC tube. Na(+) mixed with PO(4)(-) was effective on BPA leaching from PC tube, but not with SO(4)(-) or Cl(-). The results suggested that BPA leaching from PC tube would be attributed to the concentration of bibasic phosphate such as Na(2)HPO(4) and K(2)HPO(4) in water samples. BPA was degraded in both control water and seawater in the presence of radical oxygen species, but the degradation rate was lower in seawater than in control water, suggesting that anti-oxidative system exists in seawater. Neo-synthesized substance in both control water and seawater in the presence of reactive oxygen species was identified as BPA-quinone by LC-MS.

Abstract
The reactivity of flavonoids as radical scavengers was investigated under kinetic considerations using radical polymerization of methyl methacrylates initiated by benzoyl peroxide. The number of radicals which are trapped by each molecule of phenol (the stoichiometric factors, n values) decreased in the order of epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (ECG) (5.5) > catechin (3.5) > resveratrol (2.4) > quercetin (1.9) > n-propylgallate (1.5) > hesperetin (1.0). The inhibition rate constants (k(inh)) (1-3 x 10(3) 1/(mol s)) for the flavonoids were not different from each other, and, therefore, the radical scavenging activity depend on n values. The n values of the fully oxidized flavonoids were estimated from the frontier orbital theory, using PM3 semiempirical molecular orbital calculation. The experimental n values were consistent with the calculated values.

Abstract
To clarify the possible link between radicals and the cytotoxicity of eugenol-related compounds, 2-allyl-4-X-phenols (2-allyl-4-chlorophenol (1), 2-allyl-4-phenylphenol (2), 2-allyl-4-methoxyphenol (3), 2-allyl-4-acetylphenol (4), 2-allyl-4-nitrophenol (5), 2-allyl-4-t-butylphenol (6), 2-allyl-4-methyphenol (7), 2-allyl-4-bromophenol (8), 2,4-dimethoxyphenol (9)), and dimeric compounds from eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol), BHA (2-t-butyl-4-methoxyphenol) or MMP (2-methoxy-4-methylphenol); bis-EUG (3,3'-dimethoxy-5,5'-di-2-propenyl-1, 1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol) (10), bis-MMP (3,3'-dimethoxy-5,5'-dimethyl-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol) (11) bis-BHA (3,3'-di-t-butyl-5,5'-dimethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-diol) (12) were synthesized. The radical production, radical-scavenging activity and the cytotoxicity of these synthetic compounds and conventional antioxidants (i.e. butylhydroxytoluine, BHT; butylhydroxyanisole, BHA; alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc); eugenol, phenol) were studied. Erectron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy suggested that compounds of 3, 6, 9, eugenol and BHA, but not compounds of 10, 11, and 12 produced radicals in alkaline solutions (pH>9.5) and compounds, 3, eugenol and 9 most efficiently scavenged reactive oxygen species (ROS, O(2)(-)). The cytotoxic activity of 6 toward human submandibular gland carcinoma (HSG) cells was the highest and was 1000-fold greater than that of eugenol and 100-fold greater than that of BHA, possibly due to the high hydrophobicity and stable phenoxy radicals of this compound. The kinetic polymerization method in the presence of methyl methacrylate (MMA), an antioxidant, and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was developed for the measurements of the number of moles of peroxy radicals trapped by moles of the relative phenols (stoichiometric factors, n), the inhibition rate of polymerization (R(inh)), and the inhibition rate constants (k(inh), the rate constants for scavenging of radicals by an antioxidant). The n values of conventional phenolic antioxidants decreased in the order: alpha-Toc>BHT>eugenol>phenol. Those for eugenol and phenol, less hindered phenols, were much less than two, whereas those for alpha-Toc and BHT, hindered phenols, were approximately two. The R(inh) of alpha-Toc significantly increased tcompared with that of BHT, eugenol and phenol. The k(inh) of the polymer radicals of the MMA reaction with conventional phenolic antioxidants was a low value of 1-2x10(2) M(-1) s(-1), suggesting that the antioxidants trapped radicals quickly. The comparative cytotoxicity of methoxyphenols against HSG cells was investigated. The cytotoxic activity of dimers of 10 and 12 was markedly lower than that of their corresponding monomers, whereas that of the dimer of MMP, 11 was not reduced even after the dimerization. In particular, visible-light (VL) exposure enhanced the cytotoxicity of 11 similar to the monomers of eugenol, BHA and MMP. Changes in BDE (ph(O-H)) (homolytic bond dissociation energy) for phenols is well known to be associated with the n and k(inh) values, and consequently the cytotoxic activity. Thus, the BDE was calculated using a PM3 semiempirical method. The n and k(inh) values for monophenols, but not for dimers were correlated to the BDE, possibly due to the steric hindrance of orthosubstituents of dimers. The quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of eugenol-related compounds was investigated, indicating that logP (octanol-water partition coefficients), the redox potential measured in culture medium, was effective as a term for QSAR. A parabolic relation between the cytotoxic activity and the logP or the redox potential, but not the BDE was observed with an optimum value. In conclusion, the cytotocity of eugenol-related compounds was significantly associated with the activity of the production of phenoxyl radicals, their stability of the subsequent quinonemethide (QM) and the hydrophobicity.

Abstract
In this study, (1) change in bisphenol-A (BPA) leached from polycarbonate (PC) tube to water samples at 37 degrees C, (2) effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by Fenton reaction on BPA recovery and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value with or without generally existing environmental substances such as alcohol, lipids and NaCl, were investigated. Amounts of BPA leached from PC tube to water samples containing lipids possessing unsaturated fatty acid with high TBA values were significantly lower than the amount of BPA to water only, and addition of NaCl to lipid containing water further decreased BPA concentration. The result indicates that BPA could be degraded by lipoperoxides formed by auto-oxidation of lipid, and NaCl plays an important role in BPA degradation. In the presence of ROS, BPA recovery was the lowest in water and addition of EtOH increased in both BPA recovery and TBA value, suggesting that EtOH could play a role as scavenger of ROS on the oxidative BPA degradation. Furthermore, the higher the concentration of lipid and/or NaCl, the lower the BPA recovery and TBA value. Physiologically and environmentally important concentrations of NaCl could enhance oxidative degradation of BPA in the presence of ROS.

Abstract
A change in bisphenol-A (BPA) concentration leached from polycarbonate (PC) tube to the phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PhE)-containing water was compared to water only. Time-dependent increase in BPA concentration was observed in both samples at 37 degrees C. The leaching velocity of BPA to water was three times faster than that to PhE-containing water and BPA concentration in water reached to 55.8 ng/ml 5 weeks later. When BPA was determined immediately after BPA addition of various concentration of PhE up to 2.5mg/ml to water, the BPA recoveries were over 93%. But, when incubated at 37 degrees C for a special time, BPA concentration in PhE-containing water in glass tube decreased time-dependently. In the presence of H2O2, time and Fe3+ dose-dependent decrease in the BPA concentration particularly, a drastic decrease above 0.44 mM Fe3+ was observed. These results suggest that BPA would be decomposed by radical oxygen including lipoperoxides. An addition of serum prevented BPA decrease from radical oxygen to a great extent but could not recover the BPA decrease. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, a good parameter of lipid oxidation, decreased gradually in the mixture of H9O2 and Fe3+ in the presence of BPA, implying an inhibition of lipid oxidation due to BPA oxidation by radical oxygen.
