As the main building materials for highway construction, asphalt and asphalt mixture will
release large quantities of highly hazardous fume at high temperatures. Due to possible …

Human malignancies are often hallmarked with genomic instability, which itself is also
considered a causative event in malignant transformation. Genomic instability may manifest …

Some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are known carcinogens and workplace PAH
exposure may increase the risk of cancer. Monitoring early cancer-related changes can …

Background Asphalt workers are exposed to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from hot
mix asphalt via both inhalation and dermal absorption. The use of crumb rubber modified …

Purpose: We investigated the association between occupational radiation exposure and
DNA methylation changes in nuclear power plant workers. We also evaluated whether …

Purpose Deficiencies of folate, vitamins B 12 and D are common age-related conditions.
Vitamin B 12 and folate are necessary for DNA methylation. Telomeres appear to be …

Global DNA hypomethylation is proposed as a potential biomarker for cancer risk associated
with genomic instability, which is an important factor in radiation‐induced cancer. However …

DNA damage and unrepaired or insufficiently repaired DNA double-strand breaks as well as
telomere shortening contribute to the formation of structural chromosomal aberrations (CAs) …

The alteration of DNA methylation patterns are a key component of disease onset and/or
progression. Our objective was to evaluate the differences in Long Interspersed Nuclear …

Non-specific chromosomal aberrations (CAs) are microscopically detected in about 1% of
lymphocytes drawn from healthy persons. Causes of CAs in general population are not …
