Abstract:
The evidence of smoking on cytomor-phologic changes has been shown.These changes are nuclear excrescences in pol-ymorphonuclear leukocytes among 163 male teachers aged 20 years and over.Rate of positive cytologies and arithmetic mean of nuclear excrescences was detected among current-smokers and accidental-smokers and nonsmokers.The result was established that significance and highly significance difference observed by statistical treatment.Relation of dose-resPonse was established between smoking amount and nuclear excrescences number,We believe this study indicates that these cytomorphologic changes are genotoxic effcts.Indices of nuclear excrescences test might be useful in studying smoking induced mutagenesis.
