چکیده
The dental professionals including dental X-ray technicians compass a variety of occupational risks including X-ray radiation. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of X-ray radiations on the phagocytic activity of Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in dental X-ray

Hazards of X-ray radiation on the quantitative and phagocytic functions of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in X-ray technicians.
Over exposure to X-ray radiation is detrimental to the living cells and may lead to development of life-threatening diseases. It is intuitive to postulate that a low level exposure may lead to functional abnormalities in human immune cells. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to study the effects of X-ray radiation on the total leukocyte count (TLC) and phagocytic activity of Poly...
متن کاملHuman neutrophil migratory function: modulatory effect of interactions with opsonized particles.
Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils preexposed to cytotaxin or to phagocytizable particles exhibited reduced spontaneous and chemotactic migratory responses. This influence of cytotaxin appears to be related to toxic effects of by-products of hexose monophosphate shunt stimulation. To determine whether a phagocytic stimulus may inhibit subsequent neutrophil migratory functions by the same mecha...
متن کاملThe Effect of Long-Term X-Ray Exposure on Human Lymphocyte
The aim of the paper is to investigate effects of long term x-ray exposure on the human lymphocyte, reactive lymphocyte parameters and morphology of lymphocytes in x-ray technicians at Kirkuk hospitals. The study included 54 apparently healthy male x-ray technicians were matched with another 54 apparently healthy control to show any alteration in the lymphocytes, reactive lymphocytes and morpho...
متن کاملRespiratory morbidity in a population of French dental technicians.
AIMS To compare wage earner dental technicians with non-exposed salaried subjects for the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and function, and chest x ray abnormalities. METHODS A total of 134 dental technicians and 131 non-exposed subjects participated. A medical and an occupational questionnaire were filled in to evaluate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and occupational exposures. Su...
متن کاملFunction of Neutrophils in Different Phases of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. In the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 CML p...
