Micronucleus Assay in Exfoliated Buccal Epithelial Cells Using Liquid Based Cytology Preparations in Building Construction Workers
Background and objective:Cytogenetic damage in exfoliated buccal epithelial cells due to environmental and occupational exposure is often monitored by micronucleus (MN) assay using liquid based cytology (LBC) preparations. This study was performed to evaluate MN in exfoliated buccal epithelial cells of building construction workers using LBC preparations. <strong...
متن کاملMicronuclei and other nuclear anomalies in exfoliated buccal mucosa cells of Mexican women with breast cancer.
PURPOSE Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed form of cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among females in the world. RESULTS of several studies showed that the genome of primary cancer patients (naive for any treatment) is unstable. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the genomic instability in BC patients by means of buccal cells micronucleus (MN) ...
متن کاملFrequencies of nuclear anomalies in buccal mucosal cells of vegetarian and non-vegetarian subjects
The Buccal Micronucleus Cytome (BMCyt) in exfoliated buccal epithelial cells is a minimally invasive method for assessing chromosomal instability, DNA damage and cell death. It has been widely used in occupational and lifestyle related studies. For the present study 63 male subjects were taken out of which 32 were vegetarian and 31 subjects were nonvegetarian matched with respect to their age, ...
متن کاملIncreased micronucleus frequency in exfoliated cells of the buccal mucosa in hairdressers.
Hairdressers are exposed daily to chemical substances, such as dyes, chemical straighteners and curling chemicals, which can be absorbed, inhaled or possibly ingested. We analyzed the frequency of micronuclei (MNC) in exfoliated cells of the buccal mucosa of 50 hairdressers and 50 controls in Pelotas, RS, Brazil. An assessment was carried out on the incidence of MNC, binucleated cells (BNC), br...
متن کاملNuclear anomalies in exfoliated buccal cells in healthy and diabetic individuals and the impact of a dietary intervention.
This study aimed to compare the frequencies of nuclear anomalies in buccal cells between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals and to assess the impact of a 'healthy diet'-a cornerstone in the treatment of diabetes. Seventy-six diabetic and 21 non-diabetic individuals participated in this parallel, randomised, intervention trial. All participants received information about the importance of a h...
