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

Smoking is one of the major causes of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and treatment options for PF are limited. We show that POT1 is decreased in PF patients and mice, especially in smoke exposure, and investigate its contributions to PF progression from protecting AT2 cell senescence to fibrosis. AAV9‐mediated restoration of POT1 prevents PF.

A novel regimen of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim single strength one tablet twice weekly for Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia (PJP) prophylaxis in lung transplant patients found no cases of PJP over an 8‐year period and may reduce the incidence of medication discontinuation due to adverse effects. ABSTRACT Background Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PJP)

Caveolin‐1 negatively regulates inflammation and fibrosis in silicosis
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 (

From the 1930 International Johannesburg conference on silicosis, to “tables” of occupational diseases, France, 2000 onward: A comparative reading [PDF]
Through the concept of “thought collectives” in particular, Ludwik Fleck was a pioneer in demonstrating how much scientific knowledge is inherently made up of social and historical material.

Workmen’s Compensation: Contagious Disease Held Compensable [PDF]
Knowledge about dispersion is of utmost importance for understanding populations’ reaction to changes in the environment. Expansion of a population range brings with it both spatial sorting and over time, spatial selection.

Silicosis is an occupational disease characterized by extensive pulmonary fibrosis, and the underlying pathological process remains uncertain. Herein, we explored the molecular mechanism by which microRNA‐205‐5p (miR‐205‐5p) affects the autophagy of ...

Modelling environmental factors correlated with podoconiosis: a geospatial study of non-filarial elephantiasis [PDF]
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 ...
