dc.description.abstract |
This study was conducted at Aldamar city in Alaked village, during the
period between November 2008 to June 2009 to evaluate cytological and
environmental effects of cement dust exposure, and to compare the
cytomorphological changes among the study group using Papanicolaou
and May Grunwald Giemsa staining techniques. Five hundred participated
in this study. Personal information obtained using questionnaire interview.
The harmful effect of cement dust is obvious from the clinical symptoms;
22.6% has skin symptoms, 49.0% eye irritation in addition to chronic
respiratory symptoms which include 37% chronic cough, 40.6% sneezing,
28.6% breathlessness, 35.8% chest tightness, 7.0% have thyroid disease
and 2.8% are asthmatic. The cytological examination showed some
metaplastic and inflammatory changes. 7.6% of samples showed bacterial
inflammation, 5.8% for each chronic and acute inflammation, 2.0%
actinomycosis, 0.8% candidiasis, 5.8% metaplastic changes and only 0.4%
showed atypical squamous cells. The study population was classified
according to their ages to compare the medical conditions and cytological
results. The age group was statistically significant with residence, skin
symptoms, eye irritation, breathlessness, chest tightness and sneeze, but it
wasn’t statistically significant with cytological changes and the cytological
results wasn’t statically significant to residence and gender. Papanicolaou
stain in sputum cytology proved to be superior to May Grunwald Giemsa
stain. This study recommended the use of Papanicolaou stain for sputum
cytology screening. Periodically sputum screening program for early
detection of any pre malignant and chronic infection is recommended. |
