Prospective analysis of the influence of sport and educational factors on the prevalence and initiation of smoking in older adolescents from Croatia
2017
The prevalence of smoking among Croatian adolescents is alarmingly high, but no previous study has prospectively examined the sport- and academic-factors associated with smoking and smoking initiation. This study aimed to prospectively examine the associations between scholastic (educational) achievement and sport factors and smoking in 16- to 18-year-old adolescents. This two-year prospective cohort study included 644 adolescents who were 16 years of age at baseline (46% females). Baseline testing was implemented at the beginning of the 3rd year of high school (September 2014) when participants were 16 years old. Follow-up testing was completed at the end of the fourth year of high school,…

Influence of E-smoking liquids on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts.
2014
Introduction: Over the last years, electronic cigarettes (ECs) have become more popular, particularly in individuals who want to give up smoking tobacco. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of the different e-smoking liquids on the viability and proliferation of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Method and materials: For this study six test solutions with components from ECs were selected: lime-, hazelnut- and menthol-flavored liquids, nicotine, propylene glycol, and PBS as control group. The fibroblasts were incubated up to 96 h with the different liquids, and cell viability was measured by using the PrestoBlue® reagent, the ATP detection and the migration assay.…
The symbiosis between Nicotiana tabacum and the endomycorrhizal fungus Funneliformis mosseae increases the plant glutathione level and decreases leaf…

Over time, anthropogenic activities have led to severe cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) pollution in several environments. Plants inhabiting metal(loid)-contaminated areas should be able to sequester and detoxify these toxic elements as soon as they enter roots and leaves. We postulated here that an important role in protecting plants from excessive metal(loid) accumulation and toxicity might be played by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. In fact, human exploitation of plant material derived from Cd- and As-polluted environments may lead to a noxious intake of these toxic elements; in particular, a possible source of Cd and As for humans is given by cigarette and cigar smoke. We investigated …
Sāls nikotīna bāzes tvaicēšanas ietekme uz zobu krāsas maiņu
2022
Sāls nikotīna bāzes elektronisko cigarešu lietošana nesen ir kļuvusi populāra un pakāpeniski aizstāj tradicionālo smēķēšanu . Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot nikotīna sāls elektronisko cigarešu lietošanas ietekmi uz zobu emaljas krāsas maiņu. Tika secinā ts, ka pašizveidotai fotometriskai sistēmai ir piemīt augsta precizitāte. Anketas dati norādīja, ka smēķētāji biežāk tīra zobus un lieto sojas mērci, taču retāk dzer tēju salīdzinot ar nesmēķētājiem. Smēķētāju iecienītākā garša bija augļu šķidrumi ar 20 mg /ml nikotīna. Smēķēšana kombinācijā ar tējas dzeršanu izmainīja zobu krāsu toņa zilidzelteno līdzsvaru (CIELab b* telpiskā koordināte) uz dzelteno pusi. Viena mēneša ilga smēķēšana spē…
