The regulatory effect of pulmonary lymphatic drainage on silicosis fibrosis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Silicosis is a fibrotic disease caused by long-term inhalation of SiO2 particles that currently has no effective treatment. Earlier studies have suggested that pulmonary lymphatic vessels play a key role in the transport of silica but have not address ...

Silicosis in Switzerland

International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, 2018
The correlation between quartz dust concentrations in the Swiss enterprises and the incidence of silicosis and other related diseases acknowledged as occupational diseases (OD) was investigated.Quartz dust concentrations were obtained from Suva's databases of occupational health surveillance measurements between 2005 and 2014.

SIRT6‐Mediated Deacetylation of ATF3 Promotes Silica‐Induced Lung Fibrosis by Enhancing its Nuclear Import via Binding to Importin α

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SIRT6‐mediated ATF3 acetylation drives MGARP transcription and mitochondrial dysfunction in macrophages, promoting macrophage senescence and pulmonary fibrosis. Mechanistically, HSP70/Importin α competitively binds to ATF3, modulating its nuclear translocation.

Work‐Related Asthma From Exposure to Cardboard and Paper Products

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 482-488, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background We assess the contribution of cardboard dust exposure to the development of work‐related asthma (WRA). Prior studies on paper‐dust‐related breathing problems have focused on exposures in the paper milling and pulp industries. There have been no reports of asthma linked to workplace exposure to cardboard dust.
