Uma uke wakhetha ukupholisha ijeli esaluni, cishe ujwayele ukomisa izinzipho zakho ngaphansi kwesibani se-UV. Futhi mhlawumbe uzithole ulindile futhi uyazibuza: Ziphephe kangakanani lezi?
Abacwaningi baseNyuvesi yaseCalifornia San Diego kanye naseNyuvesi yasePittsburgh babenombuzo ofanayo. Bazimisele ukuvivinya imishini ekhipha i-UV besebenzisa imigqa yeselula evela kubantu namagundane futhi bashicilela abakutholile ngeledlule kuphephabhuku iNature Communications.
Bathole ukuthi ukusebenzisa le mishini isikhathi eside kungalimaza i-DNA futhi kubangele izinguquko emangqamuzaneni omuntu angandisa ingozi yomdlavuza wesikhumba. Kodwa, bayaxwayisa, idatha eyengeziwe iyadingeka ngaphambi kokukwazi ukusho lokho ngokuphelele.
UMaria Zhivagui, umcwaningi we-postdoctoral e-UC San Diego kanye nomlobi wokuqala wocwaningo, utshele i-NPR engxoxweni yocingo ukuthi wayethuswa ngamandla emiphumela - ikakhulukazi ngoba wayenomkhuba wokuthola i-gel manicure njalo ngemva kwamasonto amabili kuya kwamathathu.
"Lapho ngibona le miphumela, nganquma ukuyibamba futhi ngivele nginciphise ngangokunokwenzeka ukuchayeka kwami kulezi zici eziyingozi," kusho uZhivagui, wengeza ngokuthi yena - njengabanye abantu abavamile - unomshini wokomisa we-UV ekhaya, kodwa manje akakwazi ukubona kusengaphambili ukuthi uzowusebenzisa kunoma yini enye ngaphandle kokuthi mhlawumbe omise iglue.
Lolu cwaningo luqinisekisa ukukhathazeka ngezikomisi ze-UV umphakathi osekuphele iminyaka eminingana unazo, kusho uDkt. Shari Lipner, udokotela wesikhumba nomqondisi weNail Division e-Weill Cornell Medicine.
Eqinisweni, uthi odokotela besikhumba abaningi base benomkhuba wokweluleka abavamile bejeli ukuthi bavikele isikhumba sabo ngesikhilimu selanga namagilavu angenamunwe.
