1. Oxidative origin of sperm DNA fragmentation in the adult varicocele
ABSTRACT Purpose: Sperm DNA fragmentation is a major cellular mechanism underlying varicocele-related male infertility. However, the type of DNA fragmentation - whether oxidative or of another nature - remains unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate single- and double-stranded sperm DNA fragmentation, and oxidative-induced sperm DNA damage in m

2. Deoxyribonucleic acid damage and repair response in the chemotherapy of lung cancer: cross-sectional study
Abstract: This study evaluated 24 patients with lung cancer (CA) and 23 individuals with no smoking history or cancer in the family and without respiratory disease in childhood (CO). Peripheral blood lymphocytes was used to perform alkaline comet assay and to assess DNA damage as well as to evaluate methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) DNA repair after one hour an

3. In vitro genotoxicity of nitroimidazoles as a tool in the search of new trypanocidal agents
BACKGROUND Only benznidazole (Bnz) (1) and nifurtimox (Nfx) (2) are licensed for the treatment of Chagas disease although their safety and efficacy profile are far from ideal. Farmanguinhos from Fiocruz has developed seven nitroimidazole compounds (4-10) analogs of megazol (3). OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the genotoxic effect of 3 was abolished in the

4. Genotoxic effect of Phenanthrene on Chironomus sancticaroli (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Phenanthrene, a Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon, remains adsorbed to sedimentary particles in aquatic environments. It affects mainly benthic organisms, and is considered potentially genotoxic. In ecotoxicology, species of Chironomus Meigen, 1803 are widely known as bioindicators of the effects of chemicals on aquatic organisms. This study investigates the e

5. RNAi-mediated knockdown of FANCF suppresses cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and drug resistance potential of breast cancer cells
Fanconi anemia complementation group F protein (FANCF) is a key factor, which maintains the function of FA/BRCA, a DNA damage response pathway. However, the functional role of FANCF in breast cancer has not been elucidated. We performed a specific FANCF-shRNA knockdown of endogenous FANCF in vitro. Cell viability was measured with a CCK-8 assay. DNA damage w

6. Influência da variabilidade genética sobre biomarcadores de dano oxidativo e não oxidativo em pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a slowly progressive condition of poor reversibility that is characterized by airflow limitation associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs. Its development and progression are related to increased oxidative stress, which is an important pathogenic component of airway inflammation in this di

7. Estudo das alteraÃÃes hematolÃgicas, bioquÃmicas e genotÃxicas induzidas por agrotÃxicos em agricultores do estado do Piauà / STUDY OF POSSIBLE GENETIC CHANGES INDUCED BY PESTICIDES IN FARMERS IN THE STATE OF PIAUÃ
Exposure to pesticides represents a potential risk to human health. In addition to poisoning, these compounds may interact with DNA, causing degenerative diseases, including cancer. The risk assessment for pesticides was conducted in the municipalities of Picos, Piripiri, Barras and Josà de Freitas with farm workers (exposed group) and 55 administrative off

8. Estimates of DNA damage by the comet assay in the direct-developing frog Eleutherodactylus johnstonei (Anura, Eleutherodactylidae)
The aim of this study was to use the Comet assay to assess genetic damage in the direct-developing frog Eleutherodactylus johnstonei. A DNA diffusion assay was used to evaluate the effectiveness of alkaline, enzymatic and alkaline/enzymatic treatments for lysing E. johnstonei blood cells and to determine the amount of DNA strand breakage associated with apop

9. Genotoxic potential of Cotinus coggygria Scop. (Anacardiaceae) stem extract in vivo
The intention was to evaluate the possible in vivo genotoxic potential in different cell-types, of a methanol extract obtained from the plant stem of Cotinus coggygria Scop., using the sex-linked recessive lethal (or SLRL) test and alkaline comet assay. The SLRL test, revealed the genotoxic effect of this extract in postmeiotic and premeiotic germ-cell lines

10. Investigations on DNA damage and frequency of micronuclei in occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from video display terminals (VDTs)
The potential effect of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from video display terminals (VDTs) to elicit biological response is a major concern for the public. The software professionals are subjected to cumulative EMFs in their occupational environments. This study was undertaken to evaluate DNA damage and incidences of micronuclei in such professionals.

12. Biomonitoramento genotÃxico e genÃtico como indicador de risco à saÃde por exposiÃÃo ao urÃnio de residentes dos municÃpios de Monte Alegre, Prainha e Alenquer no estado do ParÃ. / Genotoxic and genetic biomonitoring as a health risk indicator for uranium exposition of residents in Monte Alegre, Prainha, and Alenquer municipalities in the state of ParÃ, Brazil.
Radiation is considered a risk factor for the development of several types of cancers caused by damage into the DNA molecule and is of extreme importance, therefore, the monitoring of human populations exposed to it. The municipality of Monte Alegre in the state of Parà in Brazil has one of the largest uranium mining areas of the world, which extends to the
