چکیده
BACKGROUND Metal alloys utilized in the management of jaw fractures may exert genotoxic effects. Our purpose was to compare the genotoxicity of intermaxillary fixation devices containing nickel and chromium to that of titanium miniplates utilized in treatment of jaw fractures through the analysis of sister chromatid exchange. METHODS In this prospective study, in a total of 28 non-smoker patients (10 females, 18 males; mean age 33.43±10.76; range 15 to 60 years) with jaw fractures, 14 were treated with intermaxillary fixation by administration of nickel-chromium wire and arch bar and 14 with titanium miniplates to investigate the genotoxicity of different metal alloys. The outcome variable was the frequency of sister chromatide exchange in peripheral lymphoctyes, determined through the analysis of venous blood samples obtained preoperatively and 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS The frequency of the average sister chromatid exchange was found to be significantly higher in patients treated with the nickel-chromium intermaxillary fixation devices than those treated by titanium miniplates (1.29±0.29 vs. 0.46±0.39, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Although titanium miniplate osteosynthesis is an invasive technique in comparison with the nickel-chromium-containing intermaxillary fixation devices, titanium seems to exert less genotoxic effect than the nickel-chromium alloy. However, this finding should be supported in clinical studies with a larger sampling size.

Chromosomal appearance of 12 Holstein bulls selected for artificial inseminations were examined bysister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). For differential staining of sister chromatids bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)was inoculated in lymphocyte cultures. The mean, maximum and minimum number of SCE per cell weredetermined 6.8 ± 1.14, 8.3 ± 1.1 and 5.7 ± 1.5, respectively. SCE frequencies of all animals were...
متن کاملAssessment of genotoxicity of waterpipe and cigarette smoking in lymphocytes using the sister-chromatid exchange assay: a comparative study.
Tobacco smoking is a major world health problem. Recently, waterpipe smoking has become more popular in many countries. Although the genotoxicity associated with cigarette smoking has been extensively investigated, studies evaluating such toxicity in waterpipe users are still lacking. In this study, we examined the genotoxicity of waterpipe smoking in lymphocytes compared with the genotoxicity ...

Paclitaxel (PAC) is an anticancer drug used for treatments of breast, ovarian and lung cancers. However, little data is available in the literature on its potential genotoxicity on healthy human cells. On the other hand, boron deficiency and supplementation exert important biological effects in human and animal tissues. The biological effects of dietary boron are defined, but its interaction wi...

Sister-chromatid exchange and chromosome aberrations for 4 aliphatic epoxides in mice.
Sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) and chromosome aberrations (CA) in bone marrow cells were analyzed after in vivo exposure in mice to 4 aliphatic epoxides, namely 1-naphthyl glycidyl ether (NGE), 1-naphthyl propylene oxide (NPO), 4-nitrophenyl glycidyl ether (NPGE) and trichloropropylene oxide (TCPO). These compounds were selected as being among the most mutagenic aliphatic epoxides in our previ...
