“…The CS causes a decrease in blood O 2 levels. As a result, the body increases the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit) to compensate for the decrease in oxygen carrying capacity 46. These data corroborate our results, as there was an increase in red blood cell levels in the CS compared with CG.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a high refined carbohydrate diet and pulmonary inflammatory response in C57BL/6 mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS). Twenty-four male mice were divided into four groups: control group (CG), which received a standard diet; cigarette smoke group (CSG), which was exposed to CS; a high refined carbohydrate diet group (RG), which received a high refined carbohydrate diet; and a high refined carbohydrates diet and cigarette smoke group (RCSG), which received a high refined carbohydrate diet and was exposed to CS. The animals were monitored for food intake and body weight gain for 12 weeks. After this period, the CSG and RCSG were exposed to CS for five consecutive days. At the end of the experimental protocol, all animals were euthanized for subsequent analyses. There was an increase of inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of CSG compared to CG and RCSG compared to CG, CSG, and RG. In addition, in the BALF, there was an increase of tumor necrosis factor alpha in RCSG compared to CG, CSG, and RG; interferon gamma increase in RCSG compared to the CSG; and increase in interleukin-10 in RCSG compared to CG and RG. Lipid peroxidation increased in RCSG compared to CG, CSG, and RG. Furthermore, the oxidation of proteins increased in CSG compared to CG. The analysis of oxidative stress showed an increase in superoxide dismutase in RCSG compared to CG, CSG, and RG and an increase in the catalase activity in RCSG compared with CG. In addition, there was a decrease in the glutathione reduced/glutathione total ratio of CSG, RG, and RCSG compared to CG. Therefore, the administration of a high refined carbohydrate diet promoted an increase in pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress in mice exposed to CS.

Background: The use of certain licit substances like alcohol, tobacco and illicit substances like cocaine, amphetamine, cannabis, etc is termed as substance abuse. Globally, the most prevalent form of tobacco use in women is cigarette smoking. But, in low- and middle-income countries use of smokeless forms is quite common. Aim of the study was to study the factors influencing drug and tobacco addiction in the female population of an urban slum area.Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study conducted on 577 female participants in urban slums of a metropolitan city. A pre-validated semi-structured questionnaire was used. Data analysis was done in SPSS version 22.0 (IBM). Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests for associations were used.Results: The mean age of participants was 44.84±14.99 years and the mean age of onset of addiction was 21.51±6.47 years. Around 70.7% of women were tobacco chewers, 9.4% were smoking bidis and 15.8%were addicted to alcohol. Addiction is the subject of conflict in families of 70(12.1%) women. A most common source of information about the harmful effects of addiction was television and tobacco packets. Almost all women i.e. 555(96.2%) knew that oral cancer was a harmful effect of addiction. Willingness to quit an addiction was seen in 45.8%of women.Conclusions: Addiction in females is a major public health problem which is compounded by their lack of knowledge.

“…It is reported that erythrocyte count in adult male smokers is increased with minimum amount of smoking when compared with non-smokers [6]. Smoking increase concentration of hemoglobin in blood and it is due to CO exposure [7]. According to the study current smokers show significantly higher level of WBCs count as compared to non-smokers or passive smokers [8].…”

Smoking is the second leading cause of death in the world. It has many adverse effects on organs and systems of body. Rapidly increased rate of smoking in all over the world is the largest threat for the health. Smoking may change different cellular components of blood. Different chemicals especially nicotine changes the chemistry of blood. This study was designed to investigate the adverse effect of smoking in hematological parameters in male and female smokers. A total of 200 subjects participated in the study including 100 males (50 smokers and 50 non-smokers) and 100 females (50 smokers and 50 non-smokers). Complete blood count (CBC) was performed to analyze the hematological changes between the smokers and non-smokers control group by using HumaCount 60 TS. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS version 20. CBC test was performed to calculate the values of different parameters in blood. Significantly higher values of hemoglobin (Hb), Red Blood Cells (RBCs), White Blood Cells (WBCs) and MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) were observed in male smokers (P<0.05) than non-smokers. Female smoker showed significant increase in Hb level and PCV (Hematocrit) as compared to nonsmokers and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Comparison of hematological changes in male smokers and female smokers showed significant increase in WBCs count of male smokers. Our findings showed that both male and female smokers have high leucocyte count that serves as a risk factor for certain diseases like cardiovascular diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
