Activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), and nonspecific esterase (NE) were studied in blood lymphocytes of healthy men and chronic alcoholics. SDH activity was notably decreased, while the levels of alpha-GPDH and NE were increased in alcoholics. The detected metabolic changes suggest lymphocyte dysfunction and hence, impairment of neuroimmune relationships, which may be the central component in the pathogenesis of chronic alcoholism.

    No difference was observed in fracture rates between groups (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.9-1.3). The protective effect of tamoxifen was not statistically significant (HR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.6-1.2). CONCLUSION: Long-term survivors of early-stage breast cancer diagn...

    We have previously reported that this assay is sensitive to genetic damage caused by the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), and that binucleated cells with micronuclei, nucleoplasmic bridges and nuclear buds are strong predictors of lung cancer risk.
