[Genomic dosages of active rRNA genes in coke-oven workers].

Genomic dosage (copy number) of active ribosomal genes was evaluated using visual semi-quantitative method determining the sizes of Ag-NORs in acrocentric chromosomes after selective silver nitrate staining. A relationship between the length of service and the active ribosomal gene copy number was established: the highest numbers of active rRNA genes were observed in coke-oven workers with a length of service exceeding 20 years. An inverse relationship between the individual doses of active ribosomal genes and toxicogenetic susceptibility of the workers to the occupational factors was also revealed.

[Genotoxic effects in workers engaged in ore mining and processing].

The authors studied frequencies of chromosomal aberrations (CA) in 48 ore mining and processing workers exposed to occupational hazards complex. Finding is significantly increased frequency of CA, when compared to that in reference groups. Level of structural CA in the main group appeared not to depend on age, sex and bad habits (smoking). The study revealed indirect dependence between cytogenetic disorders frequency and length of service.

[Cytogenetic disorders in workers of coal-tar chemical industry].

The authors studied frequencies of chromosomal aberration (CA) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in workers of coal-tar chemical plant (34 individuals). The studies revealed significant increase of CA frequency (7.97 +/- 0.63%), when compared with reference groups 3.37 +/- 0.39% and 3.64 +/- 0.37%.
