International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Glycolytic reprogramming is an important metabolic feature in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. However, the specific mechanism of glycolysis in silicosis is still not clear. In this study, silicotic models and silica-induced macrophage were used to

AN UNUSUAL FORM OF SILICOSIS IN A STONE-CUTTER [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2007 Silicon dioxide or silica is the earth’s most abundant mineral. The primary pulmonary illness attributable to silica exposure is silicosis, which is observed in three forms: classic, accelerated and acute. A case of silicosis is presented in this article

Modelling environmental factors correlated with podoconiosis: a geospatial study of non-filarial elephantiasis [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction The precise trigger of podoconiosis — endemic non-filarial elephantiasis of the lower legs — is unknown. Epidemiological and ecological studies have linked the disease with barefoot exposure to red clay soils of volcanic origin ...

Caveolin‐1 negatively regulates inflammation and fibrosis in silicosis
Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2021 Inhalation of crystalline silica causes silicosis, the most common and serious occupational disease, which is characterized by progressive lung inflammation and fibrosis. Recent studies revealed the anti‐inflammatory and anti‐fibrosis role of Caveolin‐1 (

Valley Fever Is an Occupational Illness: Let's Get the Data to Prevent It
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 929-932, November 2025.ABSTRACT Valley fever is a fungal disease acquired through inhalation of spores of the fungus Coccidioides. Spores become airborne when soil is disturbed, making outdoor workers, such as agricultural or construction workers, at higher risk of exposure and disease.

Liposomes in Silicosis Investigations [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1983 The effects of quartz and sodium metasilicate on liposomes were studied in order to understand the mechanism of silicosis. 8-Hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid was tested for its in situ silicosis-prevention capacity. Two types of liposomes--(A) those incorporating cholesterol and (B) those without cholesterol--were used. The tests consisted of measuring

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 20, 31 October 2025.Alveolar epithelial cell‐derived exosomes (AEC‐Exos) can promote the expression of miR‐450b‐5p in pulmonary fibrotic cells, and miR‐450b‐5p can target and downregulate HDAC7, thereby activating autophagy and alleviating pulmonary fibrosis. ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease.
