| Abstract | Anti-neoplastic agents are widely used in the treatment of cancer and some non-neoplastic diseases. These drugs have been proved to be mutagens, carcinogens and teratogens. To check the eventual effects of anti-cancer drugs on occupationally exposed Tunisian nurses, we used chromosomal aberration assay and micronucleus assay. Both parameters have been used to evaluate cellular DNA damage in the biological monitoring of occupationally exposed workers and each assay has its own aim .We used the proliferation rate index to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of antineoplastic drugs in exposed nurses. The frequency of binucleated micronucleated cells was significantly higher in nurses handling cytostatic drugs than in control. We detected also a significant increase of structural chromosomal aberrations. Control subjects generally had significantly higher values of proliferation rate index compared to expose ones. Our results confirm the genotoxic and the cytotoxic effects of antineoplastic drugs in blood lymphocytes circulation. This study points to the necessity to work under more safe and controlled conditions during the preparation and the administration of anti-cancer drugs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
