Oral Cancer Induced by Betel Quid with C ytochrome P450 Gene Family: A Mini Review

Authored by Aniket Adhikari


Abstract
 
Betel quid (BQ) products have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as group 1 human carcinogens that are associated with an elevated risk of oral cancers. The human genome encodes fifty-seven cytochrome P45O (P45O, or CYP) proteins. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during betel quid chewing in the oral cavity. The present mini review focuses on the mechanism of CYP450 with betel quid which induces oral cancer. Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are the sixth leading cancer by incidence worldwide. The annual incidence of head and neck cancers worldwide is more than 5,50,000 cases with around 3,00,000 deaths each year. Male to female ratio ranges from 2:1 to 4:1. About 90% of all head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). HNSCCs arise in larynx and hypo pharynx, the epithelial lining of the oral cavity and oropharynx. In South Central Asia 80% of head and neck cancer are found in oral cavity and oropharynx.

Clinical And Evolutive Characteristics in Acute Toxic Methemoglobinemia in Children

  Abstract Introduction: Acquired or toxic methemoglobinemia is the result of exposure by swallowing, inhalation or dermal absorbtion of medicines or non-drug chemicals with oxidizing properties. The main objectives of the study were to highlight the main causes of methemoglobinemia in children, to identify the associated factors and their influence on the clinical form of the disease as well as the response to antidote treatment with methylene blue. Methods: All patients with acute toxic methemoglobinemia hospitalized over a period of six years were included in the study, the inclusion criteria being: age < 18 years, suggestive symptomatology (generalized cyanosis, asthenia, dyspnea) and methemoglobin values >3%. Results: 82 patients with acute toxic methemoglobinemia were identified of which the majority (94%) were between 0-5 years. 69 cases were secondary to exposure to nitrates from water used to prepare food. The severity of methemoglobinemia was ...

Further Studies in Translatable Model Systems are Needed to Predict the Impacts of Human Microplastic Exposure

Open Access Journal of Toxicology Abstract Microplastics are a pervasive environmental contaminant that have been found in many media including water sources, soils, and foodstuff. Due to the worldwide presence and persistence of microplastic debris, human exposure is inevitable. Human exposure occurs predominantly through ingestion, although dermal and inhalation exposures are probable. Microplastic single exposure studies in aquatic species and fish have shown various toxic effects including those on reproduction and survival. In addition to potential intrinsic toxicity, microplastics often have chemicals adsorbed to their surfaces. Studies report that these chemicals can have innate toxicity that is modulated by the composition of microplastics. Both the impacts of microplastics alone and co-exposures with adsorbed chemicals exhibit size dependent effects. Analysis of the current literature has revealed published studies predominantly investigate the toxicity of micropl...
