Association between interleukin 1 gene cluster polymorphisms and bilateral distal interphalangeal osteoarthritis.

12 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of the interleukin 1 gene (IL1) cluster polymorphisms and their haplotypes with bilateral distal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis (DIP OA). METHODS: Radiographs of both hands of 295 dentists and 248 teachers ... Read more...

Association of genetic polymorphisms in GADD45A, MDM2, and p14 ARF with the risk of chronic benzene poisoning in a Chinese occupational population.

8 Jul 2009 Benzene reactive metabolites can lead to DNA damage and trigger the p53-dependent defense responses to maintain genomic stability. We hypothesized that the p53-dependent genes may play a role in the development of chronic benzene poisoning (CBP). In ... Read more...

[The dynamics of chromosomal aberration frequency in lymphocytes of the human peripheral blood after an acute irradiation]

29 Jun 2009 Biodosimetrical estimation of radiation body burden is based on the counting of chromosomal aberration frequency in lymphocytes of the peripheral blood. This counting was made during a period of time after radiation. However, this frequency differs ... Read more...
