ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between the urinary 1-hydroxypyrene level and cytokinesis-block micronucleus in peripheral blood lymphocyte in coke oven workers.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and fifty-eight workers from a coke plant and 158 referents without occupational PAHs exposure were recruited in this study. Urnary level of 1-hydroxypyrene was measured by alkaline hydrolysis combined with high performance liquid chromatography as an internal exposure dose, and the chromosomal damage of peripheral blood lymphocyte were evaluated with cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) method. Personal information including occupational history, age, sex, smoking and alcohol drinking, was collected by questionnaire.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The lymphocyte chromosomal damage level expressed as frequency of CBMN in coke oven workers was significantly higher than that of controls (3.32 ± 2.90 vs 0.57 ± 0.88, P < 0.01) after adjusting for sex, age, smoking and alcohol drinking, and correlation between urinary 1-hydroxypyrene concentrations and frequency of CBMN was found (Spearman Partial correlation coefficient = 0.28, P < 0.05) in coke oven workers. Three hundreds and sixteen subjects were divided into three groups by their urine 1-hydroxypyrene level (expressed as 0.11 ∼ 0.70, 0.71 ∼ 4.09 and 4.10 ∼ 24.74 µmol/mol Cr). After adjusting for age, sex, smoking and alcohol drinking by multiple nonparametric analysis of covariance, the frequency of CBMN in the groups of 0.71 ∼ 4.09 and 4.10 ∼ 24.74 µmol/mol C were 1.89 ± 2.37 and 3.29 ± 2.36, significantly higher than that in the group of 0 ∼ 0.70 µmol/mol Cr (0.56 ± 0.89).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Under present PAHs exposure levels, the Cytokinesis-block micronucleus test could detect PAHs-induced genotoxicity in coke oven workers.</p>
