AB  - We report an innovative low-cost wet  precipitation  synthesis  method  for  gelatin-modified   zinc oxide nanoparticles (GM ZnO NPs) at the inter- face  between  the  gelatin  hydrogel  and  aqueous  elec- trolyte.  Diffusion  of  ammonia  through  the  hydrogel   matrices with different gelatin contents induced pre- cipitation  of  the  product  in  contact  with  the  surface   of  the  aqueous  solution  of  zinc  ions.  The  obtained   precipitate  was  subjected  to  thermal  treatment  to  partially  decompose  the  adsorbed  gelatin  in  the  NP   structure. Physicochemical properties of obtained  GM  ZnO  NPs  were  characterized  by  X-ray  powder   diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy  (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy  (FTIR), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermo- gravimetry (TG), photon correlation spectroscopy  (PCS),  zeta  potential  measurements,  and  inductively   coupled  plasma-mass  spectrometry  (ICP-MS).  The   estimated mean crystallite size of GM ZnO NP pow- ders was in the range from 5.8 to 12.1 nm. The syn- thesized  NPs  exhibited  nanosheet  morphology  and   arranged into flake-like aggregates. The toxic poten- tial was investigated in vitro in human hepatocellular  carcinoma cell line HepG2. The thiazolyl blue tetra- zolium bromide (MTS) assay was used to assess cell  viability,  2′,7′-dichlor-fluorescein-diacetate  (DCFH- DA)  assay  to  examine  the  formation  of  intracellu- lar  reactive  oxygen  species  (ROS),  and  comet  assay   to  evaluate  the  genotoxic  response.  GM  ZnO  NPs   slightly reduced HepG2 cell viability, did not induce  ROS formation, and showed low genotoxic potential  at  very  high  doses  (100  μg    mL−1).  ZnO  NPs  fabri- cated  and  modified  using  the  proposed  methodol- ogy deserve further study as potential candidates for  antibacterial agents or dietary supplements with low  overall toxicity.

AB  - The comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis, is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate the risk of overall mortality, mortality by cause, and cancer incidence associated to DNA damage, a cohort of 2,403 healthy individuals (25,978 person-years) screened in 16 laboratories using the comet assay between 1996 and 2016 was followed-up. Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated a worse overall survival in the medium and high tertile of DNA damage (p < 0.001). The effect of DNA damage on survival was modelled according to Cox proportional hazard regression model. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 1.42 (1.06–1.90) for overall mortality, and 1.94 (1.04–3.59) for diseases of the circulatory system in subjects with the highest tertile of DNA damage. The findings of this study provide epidemiological evidence encouraging the implementation of the comet assay in preventive strategies for non-communicable diseases.
