The aim of this study was to compare buccal and vaginal mucosa with respect to their permeability to a potent carcinogen, benzo[a]pyrene.
Six clinically healthy vaginal mucosa specimens (mean patient age +/- standard deviation, 52+/-13.4 years; age range, 37-69 years) and 6 buccal mucosa specimens (from 5 male patients and 1 female patient: mean patient age +/- standard deviation, 32+/-5.2 years; age range, 24-39 years) were obtained during surgery. In vitro flux rates of benzo[a]pyrene across specimens were determined through use of a flow-through diffusion apparatus. Analysis of variance, a Duncan multiple range test, and an unpaired t test were used to determine steady state kinetics and flux differences over time intervals.
No statistically significant differences were observed between the overall mean flux values of benzo[a]pyrene across the 2 kinds of mucosa.
The findings further support the hypothesis that human vaginal mucosa can be used as a model for buccal mucosa in studies of permeability to various chemical compounds.
本研究旨在比较颊黏膜和阴道黏膜对强效致癌物苯并[a]芘的通透性。
在手术过程中获取了6份临床健康的阴道黏膜标本(患者平均年龄±标准差,52±13.4岁;年龄范围,37 - 69岁)和6份颊黏膜标本(来自5名男性患者和1名女性患者:患者平均年龄±标准差,32±5.2岁;年龄范围,24 - 39岁)。通过使用流通扩散装置测定苯并[a]芘在标本上的体外通量率。采用方差分析、邓肯多重范围检验和非配对t检验来确定稳态动力学以及不同时间间隔内的通量差异。
在两种黏膜上,苯并[a]芘的总体平均通量值之间未观察到统计学上的显著差异。
这些发现进一步支持了以下假设,即在对各种化合物通透性的研究中,人类阴道黏膜可作为颊黏膜的模型。
