A novel circRNA-SNP may increase susceptibility to silicosis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
In this study, we aimed to reveal the association between circRNA-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the susceptibility of silicosis.

Identification of inclusions in lung tissue with a Raman microprobe [PDF]

, 1984
Inhaled particles smaller than 4 μm can cause damage to lung tissue, a disease called silicosis. We present an investigation on the use of a Raman microspectrometer for the identification of inclusions in lung tissue.

Assessment of Diesel Engine Exhaust Levels in an Underground Mine Before and After Implementing Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems

Clean Technologies
Diesel-powered machinery is the primary energy source in underground mining, exposing workers to hazardous diesel exhaust emissions. This study evaluates occupational exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) and gaseous pollutants (NO, NO2) at an ...

Functional variant of the carboxypeptidase M (CPM) gene may affect silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility by its expression: a multistage case-control study. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectivesIn a genome-wide association study, we discovered chromosome 12q15 (defined as rs73329476) as a silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility region. However, the causal variants in this region have not yet been reported.MethodsWe systematically

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.
