Benzene-induced chromosome aberrations: a follow-up study.
To study the evolution of cytogenetic damage from past exposure to high concentrations of benzene and its health significance, chromosome aberrations (CA) in lymphocytes were reinvestigated after approximately 20 years in four subjects with past severe hemopathy and in seven controls studied in the late 1960s. Increased chromosome-type aberrations were still present up to 30 years after benzene...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of radiation-induced chromosome aberrations.
We review chromosome aberration modeling and its applications, especially to biodosimetry and to characterizing chromosome geometry. Standard results on aberration formation pathways, randomness, dose-response, proximity effects, transmissibility, kinetics, and relations to other radiobiological endpoints are summarized. We also outline recent work on graph-theoretical descriptions of aberratio...
متن کاملQuantification of High LET Induced Chromosome Aberrations
The classical cytogenetic assay relies on the scoring of chromosomal damage in cells at metaphase. According to the standard protocol the analysis is confined to cells at the 1st post-irradiation mitosis collected at one, early sampling time. For sparsely ionizing radiation this protocol allows a reasonable estimate of chromosomal damage, because in all commonly used cell system no or only a sl...
متن کاملExperimentally Induced Chromosome Aberrations in Plants
The discovery of Lilly and Thoday, that the presence of potassium cyanide (KCN) increases the production of chromosome aberrations by x-rays in anoxia, but has no effect on the production of chromosome aberrations by x-rays in air, was confirmed. In the presence of cyanide, the effect of a given dose of x-rays in nitrogen was found to be even greater than the effect of the same dose of x-rays i...
متن کاملThe Follow-up Study of Chromosomal aberrations in Chernobyl Clean-up Workers
A cytogenetic study was carried out on 359 clean-up workers who worked at the Chernobyl station in 1986-1989. The investigation was performed 6-12 years after irradiation. Chromosome type damages, i.e. double fragments, dicentrics and rings were significantly increased in the cleanup workers compared to the control. Chromatid exchanges were found only in the clean-up workers. A temporal change ...
