}SUMMARYIn cells cultured in vitro Beryllium exerts a damaging action on all the mitotic phases. In high concentrations (1×10–3M) such action is stronger on lymphocytes than on kidney cells.The mitotic index as well as mitotic morphology is impaired. The abnormalities are mainly stickiness, anaphasic bridges and migration of undivided chromosomes. No action on the achromatic spindle was observed.With the employed technique many chromatids breakages are also obtained; these do not appear to be…

The results demonstrated that the use of phagocytizing cells for assessment of genotoxic effects of particles offers a useful system, since the particles can be investigated directly and the extracted particles still increased SCE, but less than unextracted particles.

Mice exposed to beryllium chloride at an oral dose of 23mg/kg for seven consecutive days exhibited a significant increase in the level of DNA-strand breaking and micronuclei formation as detected by a bone marrow standard comet assay andmicronucleus test, which confirm the involvement of oxidative stress in the induction of bone marrow genetic damage after exposure to beriescence chloride.

A hypothetical model is presented for the metabolism of aluminum, based on documented direct observations of Al3+ and analogies from other ions, and it is proposed that an accumulation may take place at a subcellular level without any significant increase in the corresponding tissue concentration.

It is indicated that extremely low concentrations of beryllium ion (1 part per 100,000,000) can limit crystal growth, which may be performed in vivo by critical concentrations of naturally occurring ions, such as citrate, polyphosphate, or some unknown substance(s).
