In this study, the clastogenic effect of propoxur has been evaluated using chromosomal aberration assay in mouse bone marrow cells. Single i. p. administration of propoxur, at 25 mg/kg b.wt., a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and 12 .5mg/kg b.wt (50% of MTD) have significantly induced different types of aberrations after 24 h of treatment. The aberrations were dose and time dependent and reached a maximum after 24 h of exposure. The sresult suggest a genotoxic potential of propoxur.展开更多

The diagnosis of leukemia and lymphomas, beyond morphology, is limited in low-resource countries including Kenya. Morphological diagnosis includes Cytological and Histological assessment of blood, bone marrow aspirates and tissues on suspected Acute leukemia patients. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2016) international guidelines on Acute leukemia diagnosis recommend that cytogenetic analysis, appropriate molecular genetics, Fluorescent in situ Hybridization (FISH) testing, and flow cytometric immuno-phenotyping should be done in addition to a morphologic assessment of Acute Leukemia. In facilities where resources are relatively available, immunophenotypic and genetic features have resulted not only in providing a more accurate leukemia diagnosis but also in identifying antigens or genes that can then be targeted for therapy. This article will look at the gaps in the diagnosis of Acute leukemia in low-resource settings like Kenya and opportunities available to improve diagnosis.展开更多

The extract significantly induced the division_disruptive chromosomal changes in bone marrow cells as well as in primary spermatocytes; the latter also exhibited marked increase in synaptic disruptions. A significant decrease in sperm count was noted. The incidence of structural damages in chromosomes, however, remained within the range of control level frequency. This herbal preparation, therefore, appears to be primarily spindle_poisoning in its action, but not clastogenic. The probable mechanism of this differential genotoxicity is discussed.展开更多
