Tetrandrine alleviates silicosis by inhibiting canonical and non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome activation in lung macrophages

Acta Pharmacologica Sinica, 2021
Silicosis caused by inhalation of silica particles leads to more than ten thousand new occupational exposure-related deaths yearly. Exacerbating this issue, there are currently few drugs reported to effectively treat silicosis.

Asbestosis and silicosis [PDF]

The Lancet, 1997
Interstitial fibrosis resulting from workplace exposure to asbestos and crystalline silica persists throughout the world despite knowledge of the causes and effective means for prevention. Asbestosis and silicosis occurrence is predictable among people overexposed to dusts in various industries and occupations such as mining, construction ...

Multi-omics study of silicosis reveals the potential therapeutic targets PGD2 and TXA2

Theranostics, 2021
Rationale: Silicosis is a severe occupational lung disease. Current treatments for silicosis have highly limited availability (i.e., lung transplantation) or, do not effectively prolong patient survival time (i.e., lung lavage).

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 ...

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.

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.
