Effect of Exposure to Ionizing Radiation on Biomarker of Oxidative Damage of DNA

Introduction: one of the most important complications of exposure to ionizing radiation is emergence of cancer tumors, which happens as a result of oxidative DNA.  Therefore, the present study was conducted, aimed to measuring 8-DIHYDROxy- 2’- DEOXYGUANOSINE (8-OHdG) level in radiographers’ urine as oxidative damage biomarker, as well as comparing this biomarker with cumulative effective doses....

Personal Exposure to Ultrafine Particles and Oxidative DNA Damage

Exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) from vehicle exhaust has been related to risk of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease and cancer, even though exposure assessment is difficult. We studied personal exposure in terms of number concentrations of UFPs in the breathing zone, using portable instruments in six 18-hr periods in 15 healthy nonsmoking subjects. Exposure contrasts of outdoor polluti...

Exposure to Antineoplastic Agents Induces Cytotoxicity in Nurse Lymphocytes: Role of Mitochondrial Damage and Oxidative Stress

Cytotoxicity and mitochondrial parameters were studied in isolated lymphocytes and their mitochondria obtained from occupationally exposed nurses through inhalation exposure to antineoplastic drugs and results were compared to those of unexposed nurses. The group of occupationally exposed nurses consisted of 50 individuals ranging in age from 30 to 35 years. The control group included 50 nurses...

dust exposure and respiratory health effects in cement production

dust can be produced by almost all production processes in portland cement factory. dust exposure potentially can affect respiratory function. but evidence for respiratory effect of cement dust exposure has not been conclusive. in this study we assessed effect of cement dust exposure on respiratory function in a cement production factory. a respiratory symptoms questionnaire was completed and p...

Association of Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Inflammation, Oxidative DNA Damage and Renal-pulmonary Dysfunctions in Barbecue Makers in Southern Nigeria

Background: Multiple organ dysfunctions have been linked to exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and oxidative stress (OS), oxidative DNA damage, and inflammatory response to PAH have been implicated. The biomarkers of OS (malondialdehyde (MDA), total plasma peroxide (TPP), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO), oxidative stress index (OSI)); 8-hy...
