Sperm quality of rats exposed to difenoconazole using classical parameters and surface-enhanced Raman scattering: classification performance by machine learning methods.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Difenoconazole is a fungicide extensively used in agriculture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of difenoconazole fungicide on the sperm quality of rats. Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control and exposed to 5 (D5), 10 (D...

Classification of DNA damages on segmented comet assay images using convolutional neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Identification and quantification of DNA damage is a very significant subject in biomedical research area which still needs more robust and effective methods. One of the cheapest, easy to use and most successful method for D...

Evaluating genotoxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles: Application of advanced supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Presence of missing data points in datasets is among main challenges in handling the toxicological data for nanomaterials. As the processing of missing data is an important part of data analysis, we have introduced a read-across approach that uses a ...

Dry olive leaf extract attenuates DNA damage induced by estradiol and diethylstilbestrol in human peripheral blood cells in vitro.

Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis
Phenolic groups of steroidal or nonsteroidal estrogens can redox cycle, leading to oxidative stress, where creation of reactive oxygen species are recognized as the main mechanism of their DNA damage properties. Dry olive (Olea europaea L.) leaf extr...

Manganese oxide nanoparticles induce genotoxicity and DNA hypomethylation in the moss Physcomitrella patens.

Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis
The genotoxicity of nanoparticles is a major concern for nano-safety appraisal in the bryophytes as they are the primary colonizers of bare land, indicators of atmospheric pollution and excellent accumulators of trace metals. The present study for th...

Genotoxicity evaluation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using the mouse lymphoma assay and the Ames test.

Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO-NPs) are widely used in the cosmetics, health, and food industries, but their safety and genotoxicity remain a matter of debate. We investigated whether TiO-NPs could induce gene mutations in mouse lymphoma L5178Y ...

Biosynthesis of copper nanoparticles using Shewanella loihica PV-4 with antibacterial activity: Novel approach and mechanisms investigation.

Journal of hazardous materials
Metallic nanoparticle based disinfection represents a promising approach for microbial pollution control in drinking water and thus, biosynthesis of non precious metal nanoparticles is of considerable interest. Herein, an original and efficient route...

Investigation of genotoxic effects of paraben in cultured human lymphocytes.

Drug and chemical toxicology
Paraben is a phenolic derivative of benzoic acid extensively used as preservatives in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries due to its antimicrobial characteristics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro genotoxic effects o...

Preliminary investigation on cytotoxicity of fluorinated polymer nanoparticles.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
As well-known persistent organic pollutants (POPs), organofluorine pollutants such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) have been proven to be bioaccumulated and harmful to health. However, toxicological assessment of organofluorinated nanoparticles, ...
