[Socioeconomic sequelae to hand injuries].

Remote results of hand injuries in 78 patients (93% males, 7% females) aged 16-82 (mean 39 years) were analyzed statistically and economically. Injuries sustained at work constituted 61%. All patients were operated on emergency basis, hospital stay ranged 1-93 days (mean 14 days). Further treatment on an outpatient basis lasted 4.5 months on an average. According to own 3-grade scale 24% results were rated good, 33%-fair and 43%-poor. Fifty-one per cent of patients resumed previous occupation, 17% found less demanding work and 15% were unable to work. Accident compensation fund was granted to 56% of patients.

Inhibitory effect of the antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole on the activation of the carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene.

The effect of the antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) on benzo(a)pyrene (BP) metabolites binding to DNA, percentage of diols and phenols in the total amount of BP metabolites extracted to organic solvent, were studied in : incubation mixture of rat liver microsomes, cultured mouse embryo cells, human skin, and human lymphocytes. The amount of BP metabolites bound to DNA in mouse embryo cells and human skin decreased in the presence of BHA. No effect was found in human lymphocytes. Percent of phenols increased in mouse embryo cell cultures; percent of diols decreased in cultures of human skin and lymphocytes.
