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.

Research progress on role of programmed cell death in silicosis and its possible mechanisms

环境与职业医学, 2023
Silicosis is a common occupational disease caused by long-term inhalation of large amounts of free SiO2 dust and deposition in lung tissues, characterized by the formation of silicon nodules and diffuse fibrosis of lung tissues.

Silicosis as a predictor of tuberculosis mortality and treatment failure and need for incorporation in differentiated TB care models in India

Archives of Public Health, 2023
Background Differentiated tuberculosis (TB) care is an approach to improve treatment outcomes by tailoring TB management to the particular needs of patient groups based on their risk profile and comorbidities. In silicosis-prone areas, the coexistence of

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

Smart Nanoparticles Disrupting Energy Supply through Triple Mechanisms to Kill Tumors via Dual Disruption of Mitochondria and Lysosomes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a biomimetic nanoplatform (MTCA@C) designed for precise cancer therapy. It targets mitochondria to induce dysfunction through photodynamic activation, while concurrently blocking mitophagy via lysosomal alkalinization. The platform further triggers methuosis, resulting in tumor cell death through vacuolization and energy pathway ...
