Seasonal glyphosate and AMPA levels in urine of children and adolescents living in rural regions of Northeastern Slovenia by Anja Stajnko, Janja Snoj Tratnik, Tina Kosjek, Darja Mazej, Marta Jagodic, Ivan Eržen, Milena Horvat

“…There are extensive data on the toxicity of glyphosate (GLY) based herbicides (GBH), however the interpretation of some data (e.g. carcinogenic effect) are subject to controversy. For the appropriate health risk assessment more data on exposure levels in the general population, especially in susceptible groups such as pregnant women, the elderly and children are needed.The aims of the present study were to estimate the exposure to GLY and its major metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in children and adolescents living in agricultural areas, to identify possible determinants of the exposure, and to assess co-exposure with elements. …”

Mutagenic effect and antimutagenic potential of aqueous and methanol extracts from Hydrocotoyle bonariensis and Centella asiatica / Florinsiah Lorin by Lorin, Florinsiah

“…Since the mutagens are involved in the initiation and promotion of several human diseases, including cancer, the significance of novel bioactive phytocompounds in counteracting these pro-mutagenic and carcinogenics effects is now gaining attention. The aims of this study are to evaluate the phytochemical constituent, to determine the antioxidant capacity and to determine the mutagenic effect and antimutagenic potential in the absence and presence of metabolic activation (S9) in the plants extracts. …”

Synthesis and controlled release characterization of zinc-aluminium-herbicide hybrid nanomaterials / Sheikh Ahmad Izaddin Sheikh Mohd Ghazali by SHEIKH MOHD GHAZALI, SHEIKH AHMAD IZADDIN

“…This phenomenon leads to pesticide residues in the food chain, and this, in turn, has adverse effects in humans including carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. As a solution for this, we developed a controlled release agrochemical in which the herbicide is embedded into a matrix that can be released in a controlled condition manner. …”

Human immunodeficiency virus infection and cancer by Newton, R, Beral, V, Weiss, R

“…Understanding why immunosuppression increases the risk of certain, but not all, cancers that are known to be caused by infectious agents may lead to important insights into the carcinogenic process. In addition, understanding why certain viruses can be found in association with tumours in HIV seropositive subjects, but not in similar tumours in HIV seronegative subjects, may aid our understanding of the role of these infections in the aetiology of cancer in the general population. …”

Cancer modelling: Getting to the heart of the problem by Byrne, H, Alarcon, T, Maini, P

“…It remains unclear whether this phenomenon should be attributed to the ageing process itself or the cumulative effect of prolonged exposure to harmful environmental stimuli such as ultraviolet light, radiation and carcinogens (Franks and Teich, 1988). Equally, there is also compelling evidence that certain genetic abnormalities can predispose individuals to specific cancers (Ilyas et al., 1999). …”

Selected transcriptome profiles of oral cancer suggestive of field cancerisation using second generation sequencing by Zain, R.B., Anwar, A., Karen-Ng, L.P., Cheong, S.C., Zaini, Z., Prepagaran, N., Hercus, R., Idris, N.M., Saidin, A., Chia, J.Y., Merican, A.F., Abraham, M.T., Tay, K.K., Mustaffa, W.M.W., Norain, A.T., Rahman, Z.A.A., Jallaludin, A.

“…A similar pattern was also observed for other down-regulated genes such as the KRT2, KRT3, ANKS1B, CPLX2, FGB, HIST1H3A, HIST1H3G, HIST1H4I, LOR and ZFHX2.Conclusions: This pattern of partial cancerisation of proximal normal samples issuggestive of the possible presence of _field cancerisation’.Relevance: The ‘‘field cancerisation’’ theory was postulated by Slaughter whereby the occurrence of multiple independent primary tumours was explained by the fact that the upper aerodigestive tract is chronically exposed to carcinogens. Various conventional molecular methods including microarray based technologies have been applied. …”
