Frequency of human parasites in selected populations of Silesian region. Epidemiological evaluation of the most frequent human parasitoses in the group of children at age of seven years, in adult patients and in group of Polish citizens coming back from tropics between 1999-2003 was performed. All examined people were Silesian region inhabitants. The biggest average infection prevalence in children from all examined years concerned Enterobius vermicularis, in adult - Giardia intestinalis, while in group of population coming back from tropics - Entamoeba histolytica-like. High percentage of anti-Toxocara canis and Toxoplasma gondii antibodies presence can result from non randomly study group recruitment.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are DNA adducts forming carcinogens. The DNA adducts, especially 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), are the established biomarker of environmental genotoxic compounds exposure. The aim of this study was to determine the 8-oxoG presence in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 27 coke oven workers and 21 rural area inhabitants comparison. The study and control groups were not significantly different according to %8-oxoG-positive lymphocytes. In the control group the difference between smokers and non-smokers was significant (p<0,01). %8-oxoG in non-smokers from the study and control groups were significantly different (p<0,009). The occupational exposure and smoking cigarettes are important oxidative DNA damage causing factors.
Oxidative stress is one of several factors which contribute to the development of colorectal carcinogenesis. The aim of the study was an assessment of the activity of antioxidant enzymes in tumour and corresponding normal distal mucosa in a group of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Samples of tumour and corresponding normal mucosa were obtained during a resection of colorectal cancer from 47 patients aged between 26 and 82 years. The average distance of corresponding normal distal mucosa from the tumour was 4.49 cm. Activities of antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and catalase (CAT) were measured in tissue homogenates. The patients were grouped according to the tumour stage (Duke's staging), grading, localization, and size of tumour, as well as age and sex. Statistical analysis was performed. The activity of SOD and GPx was considerably increased, while the activity of GST decreased significantly in tumour as compared with normal mucosa. GR activity in colorectal cancer was evidently higher in tumours of proximal location compared with the distal ones. The distance of corresponding normal distal mucosa from the tumour was analyzed and related to all assayed parameters. A decreased GST activity was observed in corresponding normal mucosa more than 5 cm distant from the tumour in patients with CD Duke's stage. The higher activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in tumour compared to corresponding normal mucosa could indicate higher oxidative stress in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.
