Smēķēšanas ietekmes novērtēšana uz iekštelpu gaisa kvalitāti

2015

Bakalaura darbā „Smēķēšanas ietekmes novērtēšana uz iekštelpu gaisa kvalitāti” raksturota iekštelpu gaisa vide, tās kvalitāte un aerosolu piesārņojums, kas cieši korelē ar smēķēšanas procesu. Paaugstināts cieto daļiņu piesārņojums, kas rodas cigarešu degšanas procesā, ir viens no indikatoriem iekštelpu gaisa piesārņojuma raksturošanā, tādēļ darba ietvaros aprakstīta cigarešu uzbūve, sastāvu veidojošās vielas un maisījumi, cigarešu degšanas process un tā nozīmība, cigarešu dūmu sastāvs un to ietekmes veids, raksturota smēķēšanas izraisīta ietekme uz veselību un ierobežojumi Latvijā. Pētnieciskā daļā veikta vairākkanālu cieto daļiņu lāzerskaitīšana smēķēšanas laikā, pirms un pēc smēķēšanas, p…

Aim of the study To study recurrence-free rate (RFR) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) according to the smoking status in patients affected by non-muscle invasive carcinoma of the bladder (NMI-BC) treated by intravesical chemotherapy. Materials and methods Smoking status was recorded at study entry. Intravesical epirubicin was administered within 6 hours from TUR at the dose of 80 mg diluted in 50 ml of saline solution. Further adjuvant treatment in low-risk and high-risk patients was given according to physicians’ choice. The remaining patients, at intermediate risk for recurrence, were randomized between two different schemes of intravesical chemotherapy: 5 more weekly instillations (tot…

SMOKING STATUS, RECURRENCE RISK AND INTRAVESICAL CHEMOTHERAPY IN NONMUSCLE- INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER

2011

Background and Aim: The influence of smoking status on the diagnosis of carcinoma of the bladder, on recurrence risk Abstracts of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Italian Society of Uro-Oncology (SIUrO), 22-24 June, 2011, Naples, Italy and response to intravesical treatment has been scarcely studied. Available studies suggest a reduction in recurrence risk with cessation of smoking, however, most studies lack sufficient statistical power. The aim of the present analysis was to study the recurrence risk and the response to intravesical chemotherapy in terms of recurrence-free rate (RFR) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in relation to smoking status at diagnosis in patients affected by interm…

Externalizing Behaviors and Cigarette Smoking as Predictors for Use of Illicit Drugs: A Longitudinal Study Among Finnish Adolescent Twins

2010

We examined whether externalizing problem behaviors (hyperactivity–impulsivity, aggressiveness, and inattention) predict illicit drug use independently, or whether their associations with drug use are mediated through cigarette smoking. We used a prospective longitudinal design within theFinnTwin12-17study among Finnish adolescents with baseline at age 12 and follow-up surveys at ages 14 and 17. Path models were conducted withMplusand included 1992 boys and 2123 girls. The outcome was self-reported ever use of cannabis or other illicit drugs at age 17. The predictors were: externalizing behaviors (hyperactivity–impulsivity, aggressiveness, and inattention) assessed by teachers and parents (…

A Mixture of Dietary Plant Sterols at Nutritional Relevant Serum Concentration Inhibits Extrinsic Pathway of Eryptosis Induced by Cigarette Smoke Ext…

2023

Cell death program of red blood cells (RBCs), called eryptosis, is characterized by activation of caspases and scrambling of membrane phospholipids with externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS). Excessive eryptosis confers a procoagulant phenotype and is implicated in impairment of microcirculation and increased prothrombotic risk. It has recently been reported that cigarette smokers have high levels of circulating eryptotic erythrocytes, and a possible contribution of eryptosis to the vaso-occlusive complications associated to cigarette smoke has been postulated. In this study, we demonstrate how a mixture of plant sterols (MPtS) consisting of β-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol, …

Cigarette smoke increases TLR4 and modifies LPS mediated responses in airway epithelial cells.

2008

Airway epithelium is emerging as a regulator of innate immune responses to a variety of insults including cigarette smoke. The main goal of this study was to explore the effects of cigarette smoke extracts (CSE) on Tolllike receptor (TLR) expression and activation in a human bronchial epithelial cell line (16-HBE). The CSE increased the expression of TLR4 and the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding, the nuclear factor-jB (NF-jB) activation, the release of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and the chemotactic activity toward neutrophils. It did not induce TLR2 expression or extracellular signal-regulated signal kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation. The LPS increased the expression of TLR4 and induced both NF-jB a…
