Quantitative models for lung cancer induced by cigarette smoke.
This discussion paper gives a limited history of work done at this Institute on quantitative modeling relating to lung cancer and cigarette smoking, a health hazard whose study has been given much encouragement by Norton Nelson. It first starts with the proposal that life shortening be considered as a measure of the impact of lung cancer using log normal and Weibull types of distributions of ti...

متن کاملAnimal models of cigarette smoke-induced COPD.
OBJECTIVES To review the animal models of COPD, and to compare these data to those found in humans. RESULTS Smoke-induced animal models can produce emphysema, although the lesions are not generally close mimics of human emphysema, as well as increases in mucous-secreting cells and vascular changes including pulmonary hypertension. There is considerable species-to-species variation in the degr...
متن کاملDNA fragmentation induced by cigarette smoke in oral cancer cells.
BACKGROUND/AIM Cigarette smoke (CS) is the main inducer of oral cancer, increasing the prevalence by 4-7 times. We examined induction of apoptosis by CS exposure of SCC-25 and SCC-15 oral cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS After controlled exposure to CS of various durations and at different time points we measured DNA fragmentation to assay apoptotic levels. RESULTS SCC-15 cells showed a ...
