The incidence of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was investigated in lymphocyte chromosomes of 59 patients with oral leukoplakia and 65 age- and sex-matched nonsmoking controls. The frequency of SCE was found to be 8.61 +/- 1.89 in patients with oral leukoplakia, which was significantly higher than the mean SCE value of 5.58 +/- 1.26 observed in normal controls. The frequency of SCE in patients with oral leukoplakia addicted to the single habit of betel with tobacco chewing, bidi/cigarette smoking, and combined habits of chewing and smoking of tobacco were found to be 7.95 +/- 1.63, 8.17 +/- 1.66, and 9.23 +/- 2.14, respectively. These values were also significantly higher as compared to the SCE values observed in normal controls. 相似文献

Many studies are carried out regarding age incidence, tobacco smoking and sites of oral cancer, but in Gujarat tobacco chewing in form of Gutkha is more common than smoking and start during preteen years. Tobacco chewing causing chronic inflammation, submucous fibrosis and oral cancer. This study was conducted on 504 patients to find out if there is increasing incidence of oral cancer in lower age group and its relation with sex as well which site was commonly affected. There was statistically significant increase in oral cancer in lower age group, and anatomically anterior part of oral cavity showed involvement in 61.32% of cases. Though males were affected more but female cases were 25%. So tobacco chewing has got detrimental effect on oral cavity. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was evaluated in peripheral lymphocytes from 20 untreated patients with malignant lymphomas: 6 with Hodgkin's disease (HD), 14 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and 5 with lymphadenitis. The mean SCE frequency (+/- SE) was: 11.2 +/- 0.6, 11.0 +/- 0.6, and 7.2 +/- 0.3 for HD, NHL, and lymphadenitis patients, respectively, and 8.7 +/- 0.2 for the control group. No differences in SCE score were observed in HD and NHL. These results allowed us to consider both groups (HD and NHL) as a single neoplastic population (mean +/- SE, 11.0 +/- 0.4). No significant differences were found between the lymphadenitis and control groups. On the other hand, significantly higher SCE scores were seen in neoplastic populations than in the control and lymphadenitis groups (p less than 0.001 and p less than 0.01, respectively). When SCE was compared by chromosome number and group between neoplastic patients and controls, a higher SCE frequency was observed in chromosomes #1, #2, #3, and B, C + X, E, F chromosome groups than in controls. SCE levels were significantly higher in lymphoma patients in all chromosome numbers and groups mentioned than in patients with lymphadenitis. It is suggested that the high SCE rate in the malignant lymphoma population is possibly related to an increased chromosomal instability. 相似文献

The incidence of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was investigated in the lymphocyte chromosomes of 24 bidi smokers, 18 cigarette smokers, and 20 normal nonsmoking controls. Bidi and cigarette smokers had a mean SCE per cell of 10.12 +/- 2.41 and 8.15 +/- 1.62, respectively, which were significantly higher than the mean value of 5.48 +/- 1.29 found in controls. Higher frequencies of SCE were also observed in individuals who smoked more than ten bidis or cigarettes per day, compared with people who smoked less than ten bidis or cigarettes per day, respectively. Individuals who smoked bidis or cigarettes for more than 10 years also showed an increased frequency of SCE as compared with those who smoked bidis or cigarettes for less than 10 years. 相似文献

The frequencies of spontaneous and mitomycin C (MMC)-induced sister chromatid exchange (SCE) were examined in 35 patients with cancer of the cervix uteri (stage 0, eight cases; stage I, nine cases; stage II, nine cases, and stage III, nine cases) before they had undergone cancer treatment, as well as in seven patients with uterine myoma and 18 healthy women as controls. The frequency of SCE was analyzed in reference to the stage of cancer in the cancer group and in reference to chromosome group in the cancer and normal groups. The frequencies of spontaneous and MMC-induced SCE in the cancer group were 10.0 +/- 1.8 and 20.7 +/- 2.6, respectively, and both were significantly higher than in the myoma (8.1 +/- 0.8 and 17.6 +/- 1.8) and normal (7.6 +/- 0.8 and 17.6 +/- 2.3) groups. Furthermore, the frequency of SCE in the cancer group increased with cancer stage. All chromosome groups contributed equally to the increase in SCE in the cancer group. These results indicate that an increase in the frequency of SCE in patients with cervical cancer is related to the presence of cancer, but is not related to a predisposition to cancer. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchanges in leukemic patients 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was studied in PHA-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes from 36 newly diagnosed and untreated leukemic patients: 16 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 10 with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), and 10 with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML). The metaphases analyzed show no chromosomal abnormalities. The mean SCE frequency (mean +/- SE) for each group of patients was: 6.8 +/- 0.4, 6.6 +/- 0.3, and 7.0 +/- 0.6 per mitosis, respectively, which was significantly lower than the mean SCE score for 30 controls (8.7 +/- 0.2). No differences in SCE score among ALL, ANLL, and CML and a similar SCE frequency by chromosome number and group allowed consolidation of all the cases into a single group of 36 leukemic patients (6.8 +/- 0.3). When the frequency of SCE was compared by chromosome number and group between the leukemic patients with the control group, a significant decrease in SCE frequency was observed due to a low SCE score in almost all the complements, except chromosome #1. It is suggested that the low SCE rate is related to the leukemic process itself. 相似文献

The incidence of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) was investigated in the lymphocytes of control women, pregnant women, and women using oral contraceptives after culture at 37 degrees C and 40 degrees C. At 37 degrees C, the mean frequency of SCE (MEAN +/- S.E.) was found to be 7.91 +/- 0.30 in pregnant women and 8.53 +/- 0.29 in oral contraceptive users which were significantly higher than the SCE value of 5.56 +/- 0.21 found in control women. Increase in growth temperature to 40 degrees C elevated the SCE frequency to 11.86 +/- 0.44 in pregnant women, 12.76 +/- 0.46 in oral contraceptive users and 7.24 +/- 0.26 in control women. These data indicate that there is a differential induction of SCEs following increased cell culture temperature in the lymphocytes of pregnant women and oral contraceptive users, compared with control women. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in chromosomes from lymphocytes of a patient with dyskeratosis congenita was 12-2 per mitosis. Our 33 normal controls had a mean of 5-4 SCE per mitosis and 5 patients with Fanconi's anaemia averaged 7-6 SCE per mitosis. The rate of chromosome breakage was only 0-5% in the dyskeratosis congenita patient and 0 to 2-5% in controls, while the Fanconi's anaemia patients showed higher values. 相似文献

Oral habits like chewing and smoking are main causes of oral cancer, which has a higher mortality rate than many other cancer forms. Currently, the long term survival rate of oral cancer is less than 50%, as a majority of cases are detected very late. The clinician's main challenge is to differentiate among a multitude of red, white, or ulcerated lesions. Hence, new noninvasive, reliable, and fast techniques for the discrimination of oral cavity disorders are to be developed. This study includes autofluorescence spectroscopic screening of normal volunteers with and without lifestyle oral habits and patients with oral submucous fibrosis (OSF). The spectra from different sites of habitue?s, non-habitue?s, and OSF patients were analyzed using the intensity ratio, redox ratio, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The spectral disparities among these groups are well demonstrated in the emission regions of collagen and Flavin adenine dinucleotide. We observed that LDA gives better efficiency of classification than the intensity ratio technique. Even the differentiation of habitue?s and non-habitue?s could be well established with LDA. The study concludes that the clinical application of autofluorescence spectroscopy along with LDA, yields spontaneous screening among individuals, facilitating better patient management for clinicians and better quality of life for patients. 相似文献

The quantification of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) during mitosis is a useful index for evaluating genotoxic effects in subjects occupationally or incidentally exposed to potentially toxic substances. The authors investigated the hypothesis that ions released by corrosion from prosthetic components of fracture fixation devices are associated with change in SCE incidence. In the present study, ten patients with implants were examined, and fifteen subjects with no implants were used as controls. SCE and high frequency cell (HFC) numbers were evaluated in circulating lymphocytes. In addition, nickel (Ni) and chromium (Cr) ion values in the serum were measured because, after iron, these metals are major components of stainless steel. A significant increase in SCE numbers was observed in patients compared to the control population (4.9 +/- 1.3 vs. 3.5 +/- 1.4). Ni concentration was 1.71 +/- 1.49 ng/mL in patients and 0.72 +/- 0.52 ng/mL in control subjects; Cr concentration was, respectively, 1.01 +/- 0.77 ng/mL and 0.19 +/- 0. 27 ng/mL. The increase of serum Cr and Ni was statistically significant. No correlation was found between the increased Cr concentrations and SCE number while Cr ion levels were found to be significantly correlated to HFC. An inverse correlation between Ni level and SCE numbers was observed. Our findings suggest that Cr release by stainless steel implants could have a genotoxic effect; thus it would be useful to carefully monitor implanted subjects with regard to serum ion dosage, SCE analysis, and HFC evaluation. In any case, it would be appropriate to remove the implant when fracture fixation is reached. 相似文献

Fibroblast cultures of 16 basal cell epithelioma (basalioma, BCE) patients with an unusually young age at onset of disease (29-51 years; 42.5 +/- 7.04), and healthy normal controls (27-55 years; 40.73 +/- 9.52) were studied for chromosome instability induced by ultraviolet rays (UV). We used an UV source that emitted predominantly UV-A and UV-B at an intensity of 375 J/m2 and evaluated the induction of micronuclei (MN) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE). Young basalioma patients and normal controls showed no significant differences in MN and SCE frequencies, neither with respect to spontaneous nor to UV-induced values (MN spontaneous: 10.80 +/- 5.65 vs. 11.32 +/- 8.21; UV-induced increase: 7.36 +/- 4.40 vs. 9.93 +/- 7.55; SCE spontaneous: 10.28 +/- 1.61 vs. 10.72 +/- 1.09; UV-induced increase: 7.30 +/- 2.19 vs. 7.55 +/- 2.14). We conclude from these data that an enhanced UV sensitivity as observed in cells from patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma and xeroderma pigmentosum is not a constitutive risk factor in basalioma patients. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchanges in peripheral lymphocytes from women with carcinoma of the uterine cervix
Cortés-Gutiérrez EI Cerda-Flores RM Leal-Garza CH 《Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics》2000,122(2):121-123
Sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) are reciprocal exchanges between sister chromatids. It has been reported that in patients with cervical cancer, the frequency of SCE in peripheral lymphocytes is significantly higher than that in normal individuals; however, other studies have shown no significant difference. The aim of this unmatched case-control study was to compare the mean number of SCE per metaphase in lymphocytes from women with and without carcinoma of the cervix uteri. The SCE specimens were prepared by the fluorescence plus giemsa technique in peripheral lymphocytes from 28 women with carcinoma of cervix uteri and 28 controls. The mean number of SCE per metaphase in women with carcinoma of cervix uteri (7.80 +/- 1.05) was higher than the control group (6.98 +/- 1.13) (P < 0.05; t-test). This study had a statistical power of 0.80 and an alpha value of 0.05. This finding suggests that an increased number of SCE in peripheral lymphocytes is associated with cervical cancer. We consider that the lack of reported association of SCE and cervical cancer might be attributed to the none determination of the statistical power and sample size. 相似文献

Variation in sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in lymphocytes of 125 persons was compared using a multivariate general linear model. The study was performed to determine whether SCE frequency differs with respect to age, sex, smoking, and breast cancer status. Study subjects were divided into: members of two branches of families having an excess of cancer (primarily breast) including a brother and sister in one family who developed nonbreast malignancies within 1 yr of the study; women in both families successfully treated for breast cancer (all at least 5 yr posttreatment); and women from the general population with confirmed breast cancer.Controls consisted of spouses who married into the high-risk kindreds, hospital personnel, and others (primarily tradesmen without history of occupational exposure). Results show that: (1) Women with active breast cancer have a significantly higher mean SCE frequency than control women or women greater than 5 yr posttreatment for breast cancer; (2) Cigarette smokers show a significantly higher number of SCEs than was observed in nonsmokers; (3) The increase in SCE level in smokers is dose-related to exposure as measured by cumulative pack-years; (4) SCE values in both high-risk families are not significantly different from controls; (5) Neither the age nor sex of the individual affects SCE frequency; and (6) The observed distribution of exchanges agrees with that expected based on the proportion of the genome represented by each chromosome group. 相似文献

Betel-quid chewing, which is closely related to the high incidence of oral cancer, is prevalent in Sri Lanka. p63 has a remarkable
structural similarity to p53, suggesting an aberrant expression in oral cancer. Using anti-p63 antibody and immunohistochemistry,
the present study investigated the expression pattern of p63 in oral epithelial lesions, including different types of squamous
cell carcinoma (SCC), different grades of epithelial dysplasia, and submucosal fibrosis associated with betel-quid chewing.
Nuclear immunoreactivity for p63 was detected in all the cases, including normal oral epithelium and epithelial lesions. In
normal oral epithelium, nuclear positivity for p63 was observed in some of the basal cell layers and focally in the parabasal
layer. Nuclear positivity increased in the epithelial lesions. The percentage of positive nuclei in the epithelial lesions
was significantly higher than in normal epithelium (P < 0.01) and was also significantly higher in oral submucosal fibrosis than in epithelial dysplasia (P < 0.05). The results indicate that the overexpression of p63 in oral precancerous lesions and SCC in betel-quid chewers in
Sri Lanka may be a useful marker for oral precancerous lesions. 相似文献

To evaluate the genetic damage in leprosy patients, we carried out the alkaline Comet assay and chromosomal aberration (CA) and micronucleus (MN) tests in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 50 leprosy patients receiving multidrug treatment (MDT) and 50 healthy individuals. The Comet assay showed statistically higher mean values for length to width ratios of DNA mass (P < 0.01) and for mean frequencies of tailed cells (P < 0.001) in cells of leprosy patients than in those of controls. Similarly, the mean frequencies of micronucleated cells (per 1000 cytochalasin B-induced binucleated cells) were significantly greater (P < 0.001) in leprosy patients (19.92 +/- 2.564) than in controls (1.6 +/- 0.231). A statistically significant 10-fold increase in the frequency of CAs (11.16 +/- 0.411) was observed in leprosy patients compared with controls (1.28 +/- 0.242). In multiple regression analyses, when patients and controls were considered together, disease factor alone significantly influenced the genotoxicity markers. In the control group, age and alcohol consumption significantly influenced MN and length to width ratios and CA frequency, respectively. However, in MDT-treated leprosy patients none of the other confounding factors (sex, age, smoking and alcohol drinking) significantly affected the extent of genetic damage. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency has been studied from the peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures of 42 epileptic patients on the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin (PHT) for 3 months and their follow-up (6 and 9 months), of 33 epileptics who had not started therapy (PHT-untreated), and of 40 normal healthy controls, all in the same age group, i.e., 10-30 years. PHT-treated epileptic patients at all three durations of therapy (3, 6, and 9 months) showed higher SCE frequency (P < 0.001) than healthy controls and PHT-untreated patients. There was no significant difference in SCE frequency between control and PHT-untreated patients, suggesting that disease is not associated with an increased frequency of SCEs. The frequency of SCEs seems to be influenced by an age factor, when older treated patients (21-30 years) showed higher SCE frequencies at 3 and 6 months (P < 0.001) and 9 months (P < 0.05) than the younger age group (10-20 years). SCE frequency increased linearly with the duration of therapy, i.e., from 3 months to 9 months. No correlation was found between SCE frequency and sex with respect to controls, PHT-untreated, and PHT-treated subjects. In conclusion, the modulating effect on SCE frequencies elicited by age and duration of therapy has been clearly demonstrated by SCE mean analysis. Teratogenesis Carcinog.

In south-east Asia, Taiwan and Papua New Guinea, smoking, alcohol consumption and chewing of betel quid with or without tobacco or areca nut with or without tobacco are the predominant causes of oral cancer. In most areas, betel quid consists of a mixture of areca nut, slaked lime, catechu and several condiments according to taste, wrapped in a betel leaf. Almost all habitual chewers use tobacco with or without the betel quid. In the last few decades, small, attractive and inexpensive sachets of betel quid substitutes have become widely available. Aggressively advertised and marketed, often claimed to be safer products, they are consumed by the very young and old alike, particularly in India, but also among migrant populations from these areas world wide. The product is basically a flavoured and sweetened dry mixture of areca nut, catechu and slaked lime with tobacco (gutkha) or without tobacco (pan masala). These products have been strongly implicated in the recent increase in the incidence of oral submucous fibrosis, especially in the very young, even after a short period of use. This precancerous lesion, which has a high rate of malignant transformation, is extremely debilitating and has no known cure. The use of tobacco with lime, betel quid with tobacco, betel quid without tobacco and areca nut have been classified as carcinogenic to humans. As gutkha and pan masala are mixtures of several of these ingredients, their carcinogenic affect can be surmised. We review evidence that strongly supports causative mechanisms for genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of these substitute products. Although some recent curbs have been put on the manufacture and sale of these products, urgent action is needed to permanently ban gutkha and pan masala, together with the other established oral cancer-causing tobacco products. Further, education to reduce or eliminate home-made preparations needs to be accelerated. 相似文献

Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) analysis was carried out on peripheral blood lymphocytes of 20 familial malignant melanoma (FMM) and 39 sporadic malignant melanoma (SMM) untreated patients, belonging to 10 and 39 families, respectively. The study was extended to 39 unaffected close relatives of FMM patients, to 187 unaffected close relatives of SMM patients, and to 20 unaffected unrelated individuals (control group), all examined under the same conditions. The mean SCE rates/cell were significantly higher in MM families than in the control group, and in melanoma patients than in their close relatives. The mean SCE levels of FMM and SMM patients, (8.4 +/- 0.8 and 8.0 +/- 0.3, respectively) were similar, and so were the distributions of individuals in classes of increasing SCE values (with a modal value at 7-8 SCEs/cell). The mean SCE levels of close relatives of FMM and SMM patients were also similar (5.4 +/- 0.2 and 5.4 +/- 0.1, respectively, with a modal value at 4-5 SCEs/cell), and slightly higher than in the control group (4.7 +/- 0.2 SCEs/cell). More than 7 SCEs/cell were observed in the majority (41 of 59) of FMM or SMM patients, in a smaller fraction (25 of 227) unaffected relatives, and in none of 20 unrelated unaffected individuals. These observations favor the hypothesis that higher SCE levels may be an expression of constitutional lesions predisposing to this neoplastic disease. 相似文献

The sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency was investigated in normal bone marrow and Ph1-positive cells of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) patients with and without mitomycin-C (MMC) treatment in vitro. Even though the spontaneous SCE frequency was found to be significantly lower in CML cells, the absolute SCE values after MMC treatment did not differ between leukemic and normal cells, and this seems to indicate an equilization of SCE rates. However, the fact that leukemic cells with lower spontaneous SCE rates need a further increase of SCE to reach values equal to those of normal cells might indicate a somewhat higher susceptibility of leukemic cells to DNA damage by MMC. This interpretation appears to be confirmed by the fact that the inhibition of cellular proliferation at higher MMC doses considerably reduced the number of leukemic cells that was able to divide twice during a given culture time. 相似文献

Phenytoin (PHT) is a widely prescribed antiepileptic drug. Its potential to interact with genetic material was investigated in a set of 30 epileptic patients (age 10-30 years) prior to and following the administration of PHT over a period of 9 months (grouped in a multiple of 3 months) and 40 control subjects in relation to age, sex, duration of drug therapy, and plasma concentration of PHT, using the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency assay. Plasma levels of the phenytoin were measured by biochemical assay in epileptic patients before and after the PHT therapy. The peripheral blood lymphocytes were cultured and harvested at 72 h. The frequency of SCE was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in both age groups (10-20 and 21-30 years) for PHT-treated epileptics compared to PHT-untreated and control subjects. However, there were no considerable variations in SCE finding between the control and PHT-untreated patients. Between the two age groups, a significantly higher SCE frequency was observed in PHT-treated patients (P < 0.01) in the older age group (21-30 years). Mean SCE frequency did not differ between the male and female in the controls, PHT-untreated, or treated epileptics. Correlation between the plasma concentration of PHT and the incidence of SCE among 30 patients was insignificant. PHT monotherapy appears to have genotoxic effect as expressed by the induction of increased SCE rates in treated epileptics, while disease does not play any role in inducing genetic damage as shown by no difference in SCE frequencies between control subjects and PHT-untreated epileptic patients. 相似文献
