Chromosome rearrangement induced by bleomycin were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probe for chromosome 4. The frequency of color junctions, translocations, dicentric and acenttic fragments increased with bleomycin dose. Different types of balanced translocation and dicentric were scored and compared. The frequency of cells exhibiting multiple aberration was higher compared to that of cells exposed to Gamma radiation suggesting that effect of bleomycin might be similar to that of high LET radiation.

발생중인 계배의 날개형성에 미치는 retinoic acid(RA)의 효과를 알아보았다. RA처리는 날개원기의 전단부로 부처 거울상을 띤 지골의 복제를 유발하였다. 이러한 RA처리에 따른 지골의 복제 효과는 발생시기 및 처리량에 의존적이었다. 즉 stage 18시기의 날개원기에 RA를 처리했을 때 최대의 지골 복제 효과가 유발되었으며, 20mg/ml 의 RA 용액으로 처리했을 때 최대의 지골 복제 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 실험결과는 RA 처리가 날개원기 세포의 positional value를 전후축 상에서 후위화하기 때문에 나타나는 것으로 해석될 수 있으며, 후위화의 정도는 발생단계 및 처리량에 의존적임을 시사하고 있다.

출생직후부터 새끼쥐에 유발시킨 납중독이 중추의 특정 신경계에 미치는 신경독성의 선택성 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 특정 신경계의 한 예로 모노아민성 신경계를 선택하여 납중독의 지표로 모노아민성 신경계의 효소인 MAO (mono-amine oxidase)의활성을 측정하였으며, 비특정 조직의 지표로 Na+K+-ATPase의 활성을 측정하였다. Wistar계의 흰쥐에서 태어난 새끼들에게 출생직후부터 전실험기간을 통해 0.05% 혹은 0.2% 초산납 (PbAc2)용액을 식수로 공급하여 납중독을 유발시켰다. 생후 2, 4, 6 및 8주된 새끼쥐의 MAO 및 Na+K+-ATPase활성을 대뇌, 간뇌, 중뇌, 뇌교-연수 및 다섯부위에서 각기 측정하였다.

일반적으로 노동의 주무대인 작업장의 작업환경은 주거실내환경과는 다르다. 작업장에서는 유해물질을 다량으로 사용하거나 농축된 상태로 사용하므로 납과 수은, 카드뮴, 먼지 등 발암물질이나 인체에 유해한 물질에 노출이 용이함으로서 근로자들의 건강을 크게 위협하고 있다(김, 1999). 노동자는 작업환경에서 발암물질과 유해물질이 포함된 각종 먼지를 흡입하기 때문에 폐에 섬유증식을 일으키거나 폐기능을 저하시키는 직업병을 겪기도 한다. (중략)

Antimutagens, including diverse compounds of botanical origin, offer some promise of reducing the risk posed by exposure to mutagens. Caution is warranted, however, as there may sometimes be a delicate balance between antimutagenic effects and potentiating effects of the same compounds. We studied effects of the antimutagens spermidine (SPD) and cysteamine (CSM) on the genetic activity of the radiomimetic cancer chemotherapy drug bleomycin (BLM).(omitted)

Kimchi is a major Korean traditional fermented food, as a supplying source of vitamin and minerals which is prepared with various vegetables and condiments such as red pepper, garlic and salted fish etc. There are many types of Kimchi depending on the ingredients and preparation methods used. To investigate the clastogenicity and anticlastogenicity of Baechu (Chinese cabbage) Kimchi and Buchu (leek, Allium odorum) Kimchi in mouse, it was performed acridine orange supravital staining of micronucleus (AOSS-MN) assay using mouse peripheral reticulocytes. Baechu Kimchi and Buchu Kimchi were cultivated by organic agricultural technique, and Kimchi samples were prepared by methanol extraction and lyophilization. First of all, it was studied the clastogenicity of two Kimchi samples themselves (250-1,000 mg/kg) after oral adminstration in mouse. And also to study the anticlastogenic effect of oral administration of Kimchi samples, mitomycin C (MMC, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) was used as micronucleus inducing agent in this study. Dosing scheme was performed as simultaneous (co-treatment), 3 hr before (pre-treatment) and 3 hr after (post-treatment) with MMC treatment. Two Kimchi samples in the range of 250-1,000 mg/kg did not reveal any clastogenic effect in AOSS-MN assay in mouse. They also revealed anticlastogenic effects in post-treatment of Baechu Kimchi (1,000 mg/kg), and in pre-treatment of Buchu Kimchi (500 and 1,000 mg/kg) with statistical significance. The anticlastogenic effect revealed 1 and 6 hr after treatment of Baechu Kimchi, and Buchu Kimchi with 3 and 6 hr pretreatment. Consequently, it is suggested that antimutagenic and anticlastogenic mechanisms of Baechu and Buchu Kimchi in vivo attributed to sipindle formation and kinetic behavior of mutagens such as absorption and metabolism etc.

This study aimed to evaluate the antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic activity of turmeric essential oil as well as to establish biochemical mechanisms of action. Antimutagenicity testing was accomplished using strains and known mutagens with and without microsomal activation. Anticarcinogenic activity was assessed by topical application of 7, 12 - dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) as initiator and 1% croton oil as promoter for the induction of skin papillomas in mice. Inhibition of p450 enzymes by TEO was studied using various resorufins and aminopyrene as substrate. Turmeric essential oil (TEO) showed significant antimutagenic activity (p<0.001) against direct acting mutagens such as sodium azide ($NaN_3$), 4-nitro-O-phenylenediamine (NPD) and N-methyl-N-nitro N'nitrosoguanine (MNNG). TEO was found to have significant antimutagenic effect (>90%) against mutagen needing metabolic activation such as 2-acetamidoflourene (2-AAF). The study also revealed that TEO significantly inhibited (p<0.001) the mutagenicity induced by tobacco extract to Salmonella TA 102 strain. DMBA and croton oil induced papilloma development in mice was found to be delayed and prevented significantly by TEO application. Moreover TEO significantly (P<0.001) inhibited isoforms of cytochrome p450 (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP2B1/2, CYP2A, CYP2B and CYP3A) enzymes in vitro, which are involved in the activation of carcinogens. Results indicated that TEO is antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic and inhibition of enzymes (p450) involved in the activation of carcinogen is one of its mechanisms of action.

To investigate the level of genotoxicity over Bangkok atmosphere, $PM_{10}$ samples were collected at the Klongchan Housing Authority (KHA), Nonsree High School (NHS), Watsing High School (WHS), Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Chokchai 4 Police Station (CPS), Dindaeng Housing Authority (DHA) and Badindecha High School (BHS). For all monitoring stations, each sample covered a period of 24 hours taken at a normal weekday every month from January-December 2006 forming a database of 84 individual air samples (i.e. $12{\times}7=84$). Atmospheric concentrations of low molecular weight PAHs (i.e. phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene and fluoranthene) were measured in $PM_{10}$ at seven observatory sites operated by the pollution control department of Thailand (PCD). The mutagenicity of extracts of the samples was compared in Salmonella according to standard Ames test method. The dependence of the effects on sampling time and on sampling location was investigated with the aid of a calculation of mutagenic index (MI). This MI was used to estimate the increase in mutagenicity above background levels (i.e. negative control) at the seven monitoring sites in urban area of Bangkok due to anthropogenic emissions within that area. Applications of the AMES method showed that the average MI of $PM_{10}$ collected at all sampling sites were $1.37{\pm}0.10$ (TA98; +S9), $1.24{\pm}0.08$ (TA98; -S9), $1.45{\pm}0.10$ (TA100; +S9) and $1.30{\pm}0.09$ (TA100; -S9) with relatively less variations. Analytical results reconfirm that the particulate PAH concentrations measured at PCD air quality monitoring stations are moderately low in comparison with previous results observed in other countries. In addition, the concept of incremental lifetime particulate matter exposure (ILPE) was employed to investigate the potential risks of exposure to particulate PAHs in Bangkok atmosphere.
