Exposure effect to cement dust pollution: a mini review

Neuregulins Response to Exercise: a Mini Review

The Neuregulin is a member of the epidermal growth factors (EGF) family of receptor kinases, was originally identified as the product of the transforming gene derived from chemically induced rat neuroblastoms. A variety of different protein isoforms are produced from single Neuregulin gene. Four distinct vertebrate gene encode Neuregulin, prosaically named NRG1, NRG2, NRG3, and NRG4. Most of bi...

Effect of cement dust exposure on phagocytic function of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in cement mill workers.

OBJECTIVES Exposure to cement dust can cause various occupational health problems due to its increasing incidence and long-term complications. However, the influence of cement dust on phagocytic function of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), has not as yet been investigated. Therefore, the aim of the study was to measure the phagocytic activity of PMNs by assessing chemilumiscence (CL) respo...

The Effect of Cement Dust Exposure on Hematological and Cytogenetic Studies of Cement Workers

The study measured haematological and cytogentic parameters in workers occupationally exposed to cement dust in order to test the hypothesis that cement dust exposure may perturb these functions. Assessments of haematological, and cytogentic were performed in 30 workers occupationally exposed to cement dust and 30 matched unexposed controls. The RBC level has no significant change and WBC level...

Exposure to cement dust at a Portland cement factory and the risk of cancer.

The relation between exposure to cement dust and cancer was examined in a population of 546 cement workers and a reference population of 858 randomly sampled men of similar age and area of residence. In 1974 all men gave lifelong occupational and smoking histories; information on incidence of cancer in the period 1974-85 was obtained from the Danish Cancer Registry. No increased risk of overall...
