Abstract:
Endemic arsenicosis is one of the national key endemic diseases in our country. However, due to obscure mechanism of arsenic poisoning, lack of early diagnostic indicators and specific validated therapy, the ideal control of endemic arsenicosis has not yet been obtained. To date, considerable progress has been made to address endemic arsenic poising and also formed various hypotheses, whereas simultaneously there are some problems and the insufficiency such as unclear relationship among those hypotheses and the gap between mechanism studies and translational application. In consequence, enhancing the interactive effects among various mechanisms of arsenic poising and improving its translational application could have more realistic significance for scientific prevention and control of endemic arsenicosis.
