Nuclear abnormalities and Oxidative Stress Induced by Hookah (Shisha) in Male Human in Erbil City [PDF]
Nowadays hookah smoking has dramatically increased especially in the Middle East. Because Hookah tobacco contains many harmful substances, it has dangerous impacts on human beings. The goal of the current study is to examine the oxidative stress in blood

Salivary ki-67 and micronucleus assay as potential biomarker of OSCC in betel nut chewers
Introduction: Oral cancer is often associated with various factors, such as betel nut consumption, which usually causes specific premalignant lesions. The most common oral cancer is oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) which has a low 5-year survivor rate

Evaluation of the genotoxic and teratogenic potential of a municipal sludge and sludge-amended soil using the amphibian Xenopus laevis and the tobacco: Nicotiana tabacum L. var. xanthi Dulieu [PDF]
The toxic, genotoxic and teratogenicpotential of amunicipal sewage sludge was assessed using the micronucleus assay on the larvae of the amphibianXenopuslaevis and with the tobacco somatic mutation test using the yellow–green xanthiDulieu mutant a1+/a1 ...

Reflections on the development of micronucleus assays [PDF]
These are personal reflections on the development of methods to use micronuclei as a measure of genetic damage and their use in research and in toxicology by four people who have been intimately involved with this work, a personal rather than a comprehensive history. About 6000 papers have been published using such methods in many tissues in vivo or in

Micronucleus Incidence and Their Chromosomal Origin Related to Therapy in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Patients: Detection by Micronucleus and FISH Techniques [PDF]
Micronucleus assay and dual color-fluorescence in situ hybridization (DC-FISH), using centromere-specific and whole chromosome-specific painting probes, are considered a useful screening test to determine the incidence of micronucleus, their origin and ...

Giemsa versus acridine orange staining in the fish micronucleus assay and validation for use in water quality monitoring [PDF]
This study concerns a comparative analysis of the acridineorange and Giemsastaining procedures for the fish erythrocyte micronucleusassay. The goal was to optimize the assay in the context of field watermonitoring. Fish (Carassius carassius) were exposed

Replication of somatic micronuclei in bovine enucleated oocytes
Background Microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT) was developed to introduce a low number of chromosomes into a host cell. We have designed a novel technique combining part of MMCT with somatic cell nuclear transfer, which consists of injecting a ...

Micronucleus test using formalin-fixed rat glandular stomach and colon
Background Genotoxicity in tissues other than hematopoietic tissues, such as the liver and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is an important focus in the risk assessment of chemicals in humans. We previously developed a rat micronucleus test for the GI tract,
