Chromosomal aberrations in Perinatal Asphyxia
نویسنده
چکیده
This study was conducted to evaluate the level of chromosomal damage in perinatal asphyxia and correlate it with severity of asphyxia. Fourty term neonates with asphyxia and twenty term babies without asphyxia were included in this case control study. Blood samples were collected within 24 hours of birth for karyotyping and oxidative stress by serum malondealdehyde (MDA) estimation. The degree of chromosomal damage and MDA level were significantly associated with severity of hypoxia. There was significant difference in mean frequency of chromosomal aberration and MDA level in controls ( 3.4 ± 0.280 vs 0.95±0.198 ) and cases (6.749±1.818 vs 3.687±0.156) respectively. Chromosomal aberrations also significantly correlated with Apgar score, HIE stages, seizure and serum MDA level.

Association between serum interleukin-1β levels and perinatal asphyxia
Objective: Asphyxia is a major cause of acute mortality and chronic neurologic disability in neonates. We sought to define the predictive values of serum concentrations of interleukin-1β in newborns with perinatal asphyxia to see if there is a relation between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels to the short term neurological deficit. Methods: This was a prospective (case-co...

Background: Rapidly increasing possibilities of exposure to environmental extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) have become a topic of worldwide investigation. Epidemiological and laboratory studies suggest that exposure to ELF-EMF may increase cancer risk therefore assessment of chromosomal damage in various cell lines might be of predictive value for future risk es...
متن کاملComparison of the Incidence of Perinatal Asphyxia before and after the Health Improvement Program in Bentolhoda Hospital of Bojnurd, Iran
Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a common cause of infant morbidity and mortality and long-term neurological disabilities. Due to the high costs of admission, a large proportion of births and neonatal deaths occur in non-hospital settings. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence rate of perinatal asphyxia before and after the implementation of the health improvement program. Methods: This d...

Background: Nonlethal genetic damage is the basis for carcinogenesis. As various gene aberrations accumulate, malignant tumors are formed, regardless of whether the genetic damage is subtle or large enough to be distinguished in a karyotype. The study of chromosomal changes in tumor cells is important in the identification of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes by molecular cloning of genes in...

Background and purpose : Ït is clearly shown that ionising radiations induce various kinds of DNÂ damages majority of which as sub-lethal damages, are repaired but still some of them are left urepaired and lead to chromosomal aberrations. These chromosomal aberrations in radiation workers, who are occupationally exposed to radiation,could be assayed with cytogenetic evaluation methods.These c...
