“…Smoking has been strongly associated with Head and Neck Cancer. 9 In our study, we found that smoking behavior, whether in low or heavy quantity, showed significant risk. It has been observed that the risk increases in a dose-dependent manner with increase in pack years, duration or frequency of cigarette smoked.…”

“…10 Other heavy element species, such as, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead and mercury were also detected with higher concentration levels as compared to other commonly consumed brands. 9,16 Because of the high chlorine content in tobacco and the low quality of paper used to roll it, smokers of zozial need to puff more frequently to keep it lighted, resulting in increased inhalation of tobacco smoke. 22 This might also impose a greater risk in developing HNSCC in this population.…”

Background: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is commonly associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. The aim of this study is to find the association between the risk factors with HNSCC in a small tribal population of Mizoram, North-East India. Methods: Data were obtained through consented questionnaires and Logistic Regression was used to calculate the Odds Ratio (OR) between the parameters and HNSCC. Result: Significant association was observed for smoking and alcohol with an OR of 6.703 and 4.527, respectively. The OR was found to increase with increase in smoking and alcohol consumption. Majority of the patients consumed local made alcohol and smoked the local made cigarettes known as Zozial. Moreover, the First-Degree Family History of Cancer showed a significant OR of 1.921 (95% CI: 1.040-3.547). Conclusion: Regardless of the duration of smoking or alcohol consumption, Family History of Cancer might influence the risk of HNSCC. Further screening is essential to evaluate the potential role of germline mutational effect on development of HNSCC in the population.

Effects of potential allelochemicals in a water extract of Abutilon theophrasti Medik. on germination and growth of Glycine max L., Triticum aestivum L., and Zea mays L

BACKGROUND Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medik.), primarily a cropland weed, exerts adverse impacts on the productivity of various crops, including soybean (Glycine max L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and maize (Zea mays L.), by hindering their vegetative growth. However, the interference mechanism of velvetleaf on the three crops remains unclear. RESULTS The inhibitory effect of velvetleaf water extract on the germination and growth of soybean, wheat, and maize was determined in pot experiments and field trials. Four phenolic acids were identified as allelochemicals: protocatechuic acid (PA), gallic acid (GA), chlorogenic acid (CHA), and vanillic acid (VA). These allelochemicals were detected in different parts (leaves, roots, and stems) of velvetleaf, and in the rhizosphere soil of tested crops over the range of 1.19–556.23 μm kg−1. These allelochemicals were administered in approximate concentrations as in velvetleaf roots and rhizosphere soil, and their effects varied with crop species and velvetleaf parts. The allelochemicals generally had low‐dose stimulation and high‐dose inhibition effects on the growth of soybean, wheat, and maize. Furthermore, the biomass distribution of these crops was affected by allelochemicals in the soil. In field trials, the allelochemicals significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited the growth of all tested crops over the whole growth period, and PA showed a significant (P < 0.05) inhibitory effect on the yield of soybean, wheat, and maize. CONCLUSION GA, PA, CHA, and VA in velvetleaf aqueous extracts were identified as allelochemicals that play an inhibitory role on three crops. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
