For people working in dental prosthesis laboratories (DPL), metal alloys and methylmethacrylate-based monomers and polymers used in the laboratory can pose occupational risks. These risks can cause occupational health problems and toxic effects on human health. This study purposes of researching the effects of occupational exposure because of dental prosthesis manufacturing operations on variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms in IL-1Ra and IL-4 genes. 29 DPL workers, the experimental group, were given a questionnaire, including the symptoms that might arise due to occupational exposure, and their responses were compared with 30 participants as a control group. Genotype distributions and allele frequencies for IL-1Ra intron 2 (rs2234663) and IL-4 intron 3 (rs79071878) VNTR polymorphisms were analyzed using the PCR technique. Both IL-1Ra intron 2 and IL-4 intron 3 polymorphisms identified from the experimental and control groups were not statistically significantly different (p >.05). However, runny nose, burning throat, dyspnea and dryness and rash on the skin were significantly different when DPL workers were compared with the control group according to logistic regression analysis (p <.05). No statistical difference was found in other phenotypic characters. However, due to the limited sample size, our results need to be confirmed in large-scale studies.

Blood oxygen transport regulation by physical activity increase within training dynamics is provided with different mechanisms: from the quantitative and qualitative erythron restructure (including endogenous erythropoietin rise and main erythrocyte index shifts) to change in haemoglobin affinity to oxygen, its heterogeneous structure and blood flow growth as a result of endothelium hyperpolarisation. However, the erythrocyte itself remains a key performer in blood velocity control, due to its structure and functions. This review summarizes the data of modern scientific literature on the characteristics of erythrocytes, which make these cells one of the key links in the oxygen transport system of the blood. The focus on this property of erythrocytes during physical activity is based on the fact that the athlete’s muscles must be supplied with enough oxygen to ensure high performance. Specific training and extra-training factors affecting the content of erythrocytes have been determined. The membrane structure is treated as a significant erythrocyte part in determining its deformation and microvascular blood transport. Enzymes associated with the erythrocyte membrane and affecting cell viability and performance are described. Besides, it is stressed on monitoring erythrocyte indices via modern equipment and assessing lipid peroxidation, which leads to disorders in erythrocyte membrane structure and functions.
