چکیده
BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that some polymorphisms in diff erent interleukin genes may increase the risk of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the IL-8 (rs4073) –251A/T gene polymorphism and the risk of gastric cancer (GC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on patients with noncardia gastric cancer. DNA was extracted from leukocytes and the IL-8 (rs4073) –251A/T polymorphism was analyzed by PCR-RFLP. Infection with Helicobacter pylori was investigated in the serum by ELISA. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 104 patients with GC and 196 controls. Cigarette smoking (P=0.007) and high fat intake (P=0.01) were more frequent in patients with GC. The proportion of patients infected with H. pylori was similar in the two groups (P=0.101). The frequency of the genotype A/T was higher in the cancer group (P=0.008). An increased risk of GC was found in subjects carrying the genotype A/T (OR=2.50, CI: 1.27-4.90), subjects with high fat intake (OR=1.92, CI: 1.17-3.15), and smokers (OR=2.00, CI: 1.203.31). CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with the heterozygous A/T genotype, high fat intake and smokers or ex-smokers presented an increased risk of GC. Individuals with A/A genotype may have protective eff ect for GC.

The Permeability of Thin Lipid Membranes to Bromide and Bromine
Thin lipid (optically black) membranes were made from sheep red cell lipids dissolved in n-decane. The flux of Br across these membranes was measured by the use of tracer (82)Br. The unidirectional flux of Br (in 50-100 mM NaBr) was 1-3 x 10(-12) mole/cm(2)sec. This flux is more than 1000 times the flux predicted from the membrane electrical resistance (>10(8) ohm-cm(2)) and the transference nu...
متن کاملLocating the uracil-5-yl radical formed upon photoirradiation of 5-bromouracil-substituted DNA
In a previous study, we found that 2-deoxyribonolactone is effectively generated in the specific 5-bromouracil ((Br)U)-substituted sequence 5'-(G/C)[A]n = 1,2 (Br)U(Br)U-3' and proposed that a formed uracil-5-yl radical mainly abstracts the C1' hydrogen from the 5'-side of (Br)U(Br)U under 302-nm irradiation condition. In the present work, we performed photoirradiation of (Br)U-substituted DNA ...

The title compound, C(14)H(12)Br(4), crystallizes with imposed inversion symmetry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules pack in layers parallel to (10). The layers involve two Br⋯Br and one H⋯Br contact. Between the layers, one contact each of types Br⋯Br, H⋯Br and Br⋯π is observed.
متن کاملEffect of bromine and iodine in drinking water on production parameters of broilers
Levels of bromine (Br) in groundwater that exceeded guideline concentrations of 0.01 mg/L prompted the investigation of the effect Br and iodine (I) in drinking water on the production parameters of broilers. The research was done over a 42-day growth period, post-hatch, in which the trial design was: Control: 0 mg Br/L and 0 mg I/L; 1 mg Br/L and 0 mg I/L; 3 mg Br/L and 0 mg I/L; 0 mg Br/L and...
متن کاملAnalysis of blink rate in patients with blepharospasm.
The blink rate (BR) during rest, conversation, and reading was assessed in 50 patients with blepharospasm (BS) and in 150 healthy subjects. BR at rest and during conversation was higher in patients with BS. Moreover, 76% of patients had BR higher at rest than during conversation, whereas in 74% of controls, BR was higher during conversation than at rest. The sensitivity and specificity of two p...
