Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative and nitrosative stress markers in bus drivers.
Pavel Rossner,Vlasta Svecova,Alena Milcova,Zdena Lnenickova,Ivo Solansky,Regina M. Santella,Radim J. Sram +6 more
TL;DR: Exposure to PM2.5 and PM10 results in increased oxidative and nitrosative stress in bus drivers, and Vitamin E levels also positively correlated with 8-oxodG and protein carbonyl levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health impact of air pollution to children.
Radim J. Sram,Blanka Binkova,Miroslav Dostal,Michaela Merkerova-Dostalova,Helena Libalova,Alena Milcova,Pavel Rossner,Andrea Rossnerova,Jana Schmuczerova,Vlasta Svecova,Jan Topinka,Hana Votavova +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the distinct molecular phenotype of asthma bronchiale in childrenliving in polluted Ostrava region compared to children living in Prachatice, and the effect of exposure to air pollution to biomarkers in newborns was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
PAH–DNA adducts in environmentally exposed population in relation to metabolic and DNA repair gene polymorphisms
Blanka Binkova,Irena Chvatalova,Zdena Lnenickova,Alena Milcova,Elena Tulupova,Peter B. Farmer,Radim J. Sram +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that polymorphisms of DNA repair genes involved in nucleotide excision repair may modify aromatic DNA adduct levels and may be useful biomarkers to identify individuals susceptible to DNA damage resulting from c-PAHs exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomarkers of exposure to tobacco smoke and environmental pollutants in mothers and their transplacental transfer to the foetus. Part I: Bulky DNA adducts
Jan Topinka,Alena Milcova,Helena Libalova,Zuzana Novakova,Pavel Rossner,Ivan Balascak,Radim J. Sram +6 more
TL;DR: A protective effect of the placental barrier against the genotoxic effect of some tobacco smoke components between the circulation of mother and child is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variability of oxidative stress markers in city bus drivers. Part I. Oxidative damage to DNA.
TL;DR: Investigation of the seasonal variability of 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a marker of oxidative damage to DNA, in urine of 50 bus drivers and 50 controls in Prague, Czech Republic, in three seasons with different levels of air pollution found 8-OxodG levels were higher in bus drivers than in controls in all seasons.
