    Abstract As the number of radiotherapy and radiology diagnostic procedures increases from year to year, so does the use of general volatile anaesthesia (VA). Although considered safe, VA exposure can cause different adverse effects and, in combination with ionising radiation (IR), can also cause synergistic effects. However, little is known about DNA damage incurred by this combination at doses applied in a single radiotherapy treatment. To learn more about it, we assessed DNA damage and repair response in the liver tissue of Swiss albino male mice following exposure to isoflurane (I), sevoflurane (S), or halothane (H) alone or in combination with 1 or 2 Gy irradiation using the comet assay. Samples were taken immediately (0 h) and 2, 6, and 24 h after exposure. Compared to control, the highest DNA damage was found in mice receiving halothane alone or in combination with 1 or 2 Gy IR treatments. Sevoflurane and isoflurane displayed protective effects against 1 Gy IR, while with 2 Gy IR the first adverse effects appeared at 24 h post-exposure. Although VA effects depend on liver metabolism, the detection of unrepaired DNA damage 24 h after combined exposure with 2 Gy IR indicates that we need to look further into the combined effects of VA and IR on genome stability and include a longer time frame than 24 h for single exposure as well as repeated exposure as a more realistic scenario in radiotherapy treatment.

    Abstract Background: Hairdresser apprentices (HAs) are at high risk of developing occupational contact dermatitis.
    Objectives: To assess skin characteristics of HAs, using genotyping, clinically observed and self-reported skin symptoms, and skin bioengineering methods at the beginning of apprenticeship.
    Methods: During the screening phase of a prospective cohort study, we recruited 352 HAs in 24 Croatian towns. The protocol included the following: questionnaires with self-reported skin and atopy symptoms evaluation, Osnabrueck Hand Eczema Severity Index (OHSI) for clinical skin assessment, genotyping FLG (filaggrin) gene mutations, skin pH, and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements.
    Results: Self-reported skin symptoms were reported by 12%, history of dry hands by 29%, and history of atopy by 46% of HAs. Skin changes were found at the clinical examination in 18% of the HA. The OHSI score was positively correlated with hand TEWL and hand skin pH in multiple regression linear models. An FLG gene mutation was found in 1 apprentice.
    Conclusions: Significant prevalence of clinically observed skin signs on the hands was observed in HAs at the beginning of training. The OHSI score was found to be an independent predictor of higher hand TEWL and skin pH values. The need to ameliorate preventive examinations before the enrolment to hairdressing schools was indicated.

    Abstract Severe obesity and its comorbidities relate to increased genomic instability/cancer risk. Obesity in Croatia is rapidly increasing, and long diets are sometimes the reason for obese to quit health improvement programs. A shorter diet with more strict calorie reduction could also lead to weight reduction and health improvements, but data are scarce. We tested for the first time if a very low-calorie diet (VLCD) can improve anthropometric, biochemical and genomic stability parameters in severely obese with BMI ≥ 35 kg m⁻². 22 participants were chosen among those regularly attending the hospital for obesity control, with no other previous treatment for bodyweight reduction. Under 24 h medical surveillance, patients received 3-weeks-567-kcal-hospital-controlled-VLCD composed of 50–60% complex carbohydrates, 20–25% proteins, and 25–30% fat, with the attention to food carbo-glycemic index, in 3 meals freshly prepared in hospital. We analyzed changes in body weight, BMI, basal metabolism rate, waist–hip ratio, visceral fat level, body fat mass, percent body fat, skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolism, energy intake, lipid profile, thyroid hormones, TSH, and genomic instability (alkaline and oxidative FPG comet assay) before and on the last VLCD day. Diet caused BMI reduction (in average 3–4 BMI units' loss), excessive weight loss (between 10 and 35%), significant weight loss (average 9 kg, range 4.8–14.4 kg) and a significant decrease in glucose, insulin, urea, cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, oxidative (FPG) and DNA damage (alkaline comet assay) levels. The diet can lead to ≥10% excessive weight loss, significant health, and genomic stability improvement, and keep severely obese interest in maintaining healthy habits. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT05007171 (10.08.2021).

    Title translation Genome instability and bleomycin sensitivity test.
    Abstract Estimation of individual susceptibility to mutagens is often a part of epidemiological studies monitoring the appearance of malignant disease in different populations. Genome exposure to mutagens can lead to DNA damage. The rate of damage depends on individual differences in response, which are usually associated with differences in DNA repair capacity. Cytogenetic studies have shown that the genome of tumour cells is less stable than normal cells and therefore accumulates more damage. Tumour patients show a higher frequency of chromatid and chromosomal aberrations and a predisposition to certain types of tumours. One of the common biomarkers used in monitoring tumour appearance and changed response to DNA damage is the bleomycin test. In its active form, bleomycin (glycopeptid) is a radiomimetic cytostatic that can damage the DNA molecule and cause multiple single and double strands. The bleomycin test is simple and inexpensive, and is based on scoring chromatid breaks in lymphocytes in vitro exposed to bleomycin during the late G2 phase of the cell cycle. This review looks into different factors that may affect test results and discusses its wide implementation in studies of genome instability usually caused by a combination of factors.
