Effect of PAHs on Routine Blood and Immunoglobulin Indices of Residents Living in Areas Polluted by Coking

正Incomplete combustion of bituminous coal will produce a large number of coke oven emissions(COEs). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)account for the largest proportion of these COEs.PAHs enter the human body mainly through the respiratory tract, digestive tract, and skin~([1]),becoming hydroxyl PAHs(OH-PAHs) following their metabolism by the human body and are ultimately excreted mainly in urine. OH-PAHs in urine can effectively reflect the internal exposure to PAHs and

Mitotic and meiotic detection of radiation-induced translocations in mouse stem cell spermatogonia using fluorescencein situ hybridization

The efficiency of two methods of detection of translocations induced in mouse stem cell spermatogonia by X-ray doses of 2, 5 and 7 Gy was compared: classical multivalent analysis at diakinesis-metaphase I of meiosis and observation via fluorescencein situ hybridization analysis of mitotic or meiotic stages. Specific DNA libraries for chromosomes 1, 11 and 13 were used. The results obtained indicate that (a) chromosomes 1, 11 and 13 are more involved in multivalent formation than expected on the basis of DNA content and (b) if the mitotic FISH analysis data are corrected for the observed over-representation, the frequencies of induced translocations are similar to those recorded in the classical multivalent studies, suggesting equal scoring efficiencies in both systems.     

对Hazelton等提出的云锡矿工肺癌主要危险来自砷的商榷

Using two-stage clonal expansion model with data-base provided by Lubin, WD Hazehon et al indicated the high risk of arsenic, but not radon, in the etiology of Yunnan tin miner' s lung cancer. The author of this review iterated the problems in the data-base of Lubin,and considered that it may result in low estimate for the risk of radon in paper of Hazehon et al. Attributable risk was estimated by them with changing exposure patterns of each individual, but the efficacy of this two-stage model will be violated by the invariability of appointed radon/arsenic exposures. Risk comparison was used to distinguish the contribution from radon/arsenic, which was hampered by the high correlation between their joint exposures. As Lubin, Hazehon et al neglected the confounding from environmental arsenic pollution in early years. From all of above, their viewpoint is worth to be deliberated.

AT base pairs are the main target for mutations at the hprt locus of rat skin fibroblasts exposed in vitro to the monofunctional alkylating agent N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea

Spectra of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutations differwidely among various in vitro and in vivo mutational systems.To investigate possible reasons for these differences, a mutationalsystem is needed in which the same target gene is used for comparisonin the same type of cells in vitro and in vivo. In the presentstudy, this was achieved by analysing at the molecular level35 hprt mutant rat fibroblast clones obtained from cell populationsexposed in vitro to ENU and comparing the mutational spectrumwith the previously determined spectrum of ENU-induced hprtmutants in the same target cells exposed in vivo. Twenty-eightmutants contained a single base pair alteration in the hprtcoding sequence. Most of these changes were found at AT basepairs (19/28), the AT to TA transversion being the most frequentkind of mutation (12/19), which is probably caused by O²-ethylthymine.Transversions at AT base pairs showed all mutated T's to belocated in the nontranscribed strand of the hprt gene, suggestinga strand specific fixation of mutations induced by O²-ethylthymine,which appears to be a general feature of ENU- and ENNG-inducedhprt mutations in mammalian cells. GC to AT transitions, probablycaused by O⁶-ethylguanine, were detected at a lower frequency(7/28). This in vitro mutational spectrum was very similar tothat of the same target cells exposed in vivo to ENU. A comparisonof the mutational spectra in AGT-proficient and AGT-deficientrodent cells exposed to ethylating agents showed that in contrastto the situation in AGT-proficient rat fibroblasts, GC to ATbase pair changes (and not AT to TA) are the predominant mutationsin AGT-deficient hamster cells. ⁴To whom correspondence should be addressed

The Chinese hamster V79 cell mutant V-H4 is phenotypically like Fanconi anemia cells

It has been shown by genetic complementation analysis that a mitomycin C-sensitive mutant (V-H4) of Chinese hamster V79 cells is the first rodent equivalent of Fanconi anemia (FA) group A. The V-H4 mutant shows many typical characteristics of cells derived from FA patients. V-H4 cells exhibit increased sensitivity towards cross-linking agents as MMC (30-fold), cis-DDP (10-fold), DEB (10-fold), and PUVA (1.6-fold), but an only slightly increased sensitivity to monofunctional alkylating agents (EMS and MMS) and actinomycin D. V-H4 cells are also moderately sensitive to adriamycin (1.6-fold), and not sensitive to H₂O₂. The levels of chromosomal aberrations induced by MMC and cis-DDP treatment are higher (4- to 6-fold) in V-H4 cells than in the wild-type V79 cells. Genetic complementation analysis with other Chinese hamster mutants hypersensitive to MMC (irs1, irs1SF, UV20 and UV41) indicates clearly that V-H4 belongs to a different, new complementation group. This unique mutant is very stable and can serve as a vehicle to isolate the complementing FA-A gene from normal human DNA.     

Genetic diversity of mitomycin C-hypersensitive Chinese hamster cell mutants: A new complementation group with chromosomal instability

A Chinese hamster cell mutant (V-C8) isolated previously, which is 100 fold more sensitive to mitomycin C (MMC) than its parental wild-type V79 cells (judged by D₁₀ values), was further characterized. V-C8 cells exhibit an increased sensitivity towards other cross-linking agents, such ascis-DDP (40-fold), DEB (30-fold), and also to adriamycin (5-fold), and the monofunctional alkylating agents: MMS (5-fold) and EMS (6-fold). V-C8 cells show a higher level induction of chromosomal aberrations by cross-linking agents (MMC,cis-DDP, and DEB) and an increased level of spontaneous chromosomal aberrations in comparison to the wild-type V79 cells. To determine whether the V-C8 mutant represents a new complementation group among Chinese hamster cell mutants that also display the extreme sensitivity to MMC, V-C8 cells were fused withirs1, irs1SF, UV20, UV41, and V-H4 cells. In all cases, the derived hybrids regained the MMC sensitivity similar to wild-type cells, indicating that the V-C8 mutant belongs to a new sixth complementation group.
