Abstract
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The agents capable of causing damage to genetic material are known as genotoxins and, according to their mode of action, are classified into mutagens, carcinogens, or teratogens. Genotoxins are also involved in the pathogenesis of several chronic degenerative diseases, including hepatic, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular disorders; diabetes; arthritis; cancer; chronic inflammation; and ageing. In recent decades, researchers have found novel bioactive phytocompounds able to counteract the effects of physical and chemical mutagens. Several studies have shown the antigenotoxic potential of different fruits and plants (Part 1). In this review (Part 2), we present a research overview conducted on some plants and vegetables (spirulina, broccoli, chamomile, cocoa, ginger, laurel, marigold, roselle, and rosemary), which are frequently consumed by humans. In addition, an analysis of some phytochemicals extracted from those vegetables and the analysis of a resin (propolis),whose antigenotoxic power has been demonstrated in various tests, including the Ames assay, sister chromatid exchange, chromosomal aberrations, micronucleus, and comet assay, was also performed.

Abstract
Kale juice (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala D.C.) is a reliable source of dietary carotenoids and typically contains the highest concentrations of lutein (LT) and beta-carotene (BC) among green leafy vegetables. As a result of their antioxidant properties, dietary carotenoids are postulated to decrease the risk of disease occurrence, particularly certain cancers. The present study aimed to (1) examine the genotoxic and antigenotoxic activity of natural and commercially available juices derived from Brassica oleracea and (2) assess influence of LT or BC against DNA damage induced by alkylating agents such as methyl methanesulfonate (MS) or cyclophosphamide (CP) in vivo in mice. Male Swiss mice were divided into groups of 6 animals, which were treated with water, natural, or commercial Brassica oleraceae juices (kale), LT, BC, MMS, or CP. After treatment, DNA damage was determined in peripheral blood lymphocytes using the comet assay. Results demonstrated that none of the Brassica oleraceae juices or carotenoids produced genotoxic effects. In all examined cell types, kale juices or carotenoids inhibited DNA damage induced by MMS or CP administered either pre- or posttreatment by 50 and 20%, respectively. Under our experimental conditions, kale leaf juices alone exerted no marked genotoxic or clastogenic effects. However, a significant decrease in DNA damage induced by MMS or CP was noted. This effect was most pronounced in groups that received juices, rather than carotenoids, suggesting that the synergy among constituents present in the food matrix may be more beneficial than the action of single compounds. Data suggest that the antigenotoxic properties of kale juices may be of therapeutic importance.

Abstract
Three defect-related luminescent hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles, S1, S2, and S3, with different morphologies (the samples S1 and S2 are nanorods with diameters of 25 nm and lengths of 30 and 100 nm, respectively; sample S3 is bur-like microspheres with diameters of 5-6 μm) were synthesized, and their biocompatibility was investigated by MTT, reactive oxygen species (ROS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), comet, and hemolysis assays. The results indicated that all samples were stable in cell culture medium and did not induce the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 or result in hemolysis. It was found that samples S1 and S3 inhibited osteoblast (OB) viability at concentrations of 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μg/mL for 24, 48, and 72 h. Sample S2 had no effect on the viability of OB at all tested concentrations for 24 and 48 h, but the viability of OB was increased at concentrations of 20, 40, and 80 μg/mL for 72 h. Samples S1 and S3 could increase the level of cellular ROS; sample S2 had no effect on the level of cellular ROS at a concentration of 20 μg/mL for 48 h. Although samples S1 and S3 induced significant DNA damage, sample S2 could not cause significant DNA damage at a concentration of 20 μg/mL for 72 h. The results suggest that longer nanorod HAP can show excellent biocompatibility and therefore may find potential applications in biomedical fields.
