Exposure of bus and taxi drivers to urban air pollutants as measured by DNA and protein adducts.

Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene, lymphocyte DNA adducts, serum protein-bound PAH and hemoglobin-bound alkene adducts were analysed from 4 groups of non-smoking men: urban and suburban bus drivers, taxi drivers and suburban controls. The only differences between the groups were in DNA adducts between suburban bus drivers and controls, and in DNA adduct and plasma protein PAH-adducts between taxi drivers and controls.

DNA adducts among personnel servicing and loading diesel vehicles.

The levels of aromatic DNA adducts were compared by the 32P-postlabeling assay between the lymphocytes isolated from bus maintenance and truck terminal workers, using hospital mechanics as a control group. The adduct levels were elevated in all the bus and truck terminal workers. Within the bus maintenance personnel, garage workers had the highest levels of adducts.

'Person under train' incidents from the subway driver's point of view--a prospective 1-year follow-up study: the design, and medical and psychiatric data.

Unlabelled: From the subway driver's point of view, a 'person under train' (PUT) incident is a serious life event. This study focuses on the 1-yr consequences of such events. Follow-up was made 3 wk, 3 months and 1 yr after the event.

Effects of intravenous nutrition on lipoprotein metabolism, body composition, weight gain and uremic state in experimental uremia in rats.

The effect on serum lipids, lipoprotein fractions, body composition, weight gain and uremic state of including fat in intravenous nutrition was evaluated in rats with chronic uremia. Uremic rats were given high energy (1385 kJ.kg body weight-1.
