  • 摘要:

    The detrimental effect of chronic chromium (Cr) exposure on the prostate has never been studied. Here, we report the prostate specific antigen (PSA) changes in occupational chromate exposed workers. In this study, eighty six male occupational chromate exposed workers and forty five age-matched controls were recruited. The concentration of Cr in urine (U-Cr), serum total PSA (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA), high sensitive C reactive protein (Hs-CRP) and peripheral white blood cells count (WBC) were measured. The results show that the U-Cr, serum tPSA, Hs-CRP and WBC were significantly higher in Cr exposed workers when compared to the controls. Contrastively, the serum fPSA level in Cr exposed workers was lower than controls. A significant positive correlation between U-Cr and serum tPSA was observed. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that serum tPSA and fPSA level was statistically associated with the serum Hs-CRP and U-Cr concentration in Cr exposed workers. These observations suggested that chronic Cr exposure could produce potential prostate injury and the nonspecific inflammation at least might be one of the reasons to explain the elevated concentration of tPSA in chronic occupational chromate exposed workers.
