Serum screening for oncogene proteins in workers exposed to PCBs.
A cohort of 16 municipal workers engaged in cleaning oil from old transformers was examined for possible health effects from exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In addition to the evaluation of routine clinical parameters (history, physical examination, liver function tests, serum triglycerides, serum PCB values), a new screening technique for the presence of oncogene proteins in seru...
متن کاملKidney cancer in utility workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
We wish to report a cluster of kidney malignancies (adenocarcinoma) that has occurred among three young male utility workers who were responsible for maintaining electrical transmission equipment including power transformers. Each was employed by a single public utility company during the same period and worked at some time repairing and maintaining transformers. The most common coolants used i...
متن کاملHealth status and PCBs in blood of workers exposed to PCBs and of their children.
A follow-up study of capacitor manufacturing workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their children was conducted since 1973. PCB levels in whole blood of workers as well as in breast milk of the exposed lactating mothers were approximately 10 to 100 times those of nonexposed Japanese. Blood PCB levels had a statistically significant correlation with the duration of PCB handling...
متن کاملSerum immunoglobulin E and immunoglobulin G reactivity to Agaricus bisporus proteins in mushroom cultivation workers
Background and Purpose: Although molds are regarded as the main fungal allergen sources, evidence indicates that spores of Basidiomycota including Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus) can be also found at high concentrations in the environment and may cause as many respiratory allergies as molds. The aim of the present study was to evaluate specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) ...
متن کاملSerum endothelin concentrations in workers exposed to vibration.
OBJECTIVES Endothelin 1 (ET1) is one of a newly discovered family of potent naturally occurring vasoconstrictors produced by the endothelium. A few publications indicated that the peptide may have a role in idiopathic Raynaud's phenomenon and Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to connective tissue disease. The aim of this study was to compare serum endothelin concentrations in people with vibration...
