Bicyclol attenuates pulmonary fibrosis with silicosis via both canonical and non-canonical TGF-β1 signaling pathways

Journal of Translational Medicine
Silicosis is an irreversible fibrotic disease of the lung caused by chronic exposure to silica dust, which manifests as infiltration of inflammatory cells, excessive secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and pulmonary diffuse fibrosis.

The association between silica exposure, silicosis and tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background While the association between occupational inhalation of silica dust and pulmonary tuberculosis has been known for over a century, there has never been a published systematic review, particularly of experience in the current era of less severe

Silica secrecy: Navigating access to silica dust data under freedom of information legislation

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Tunnel construction supports vital infrastructure development but can expose workers to serious health risks, including silicosis, from exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS). This study examines how Australia's freedom of information (FOI) legislation facilitates or hinders access to information that can support improvements in ...

From the definition of Silicosis at the 1930 Johannesburg conference to the blurred boundaries between pneumoconioses, sarcoidosis and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP)

, 2015
The 1930 International Labour Office Conference on silicosis in Johannesburg identified silicosis by setting a medicolegal framework to its nosology: as with other occupational illnesses, its medical content was fixed under economic pressure.

Relationship between cumulative silica exposure and silicosis: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Thorax
Background Silicosis, a chronic respiratory disease caused by crystalline silica exposure, is a persistent global lung health issue. No systematic review of the relationship between cumulative respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure and silicosis ...

Predictors of silicosis and variation in prevalence across mines among employed gold miners in South Africa

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background The stated intention to eliminate silicosis from the South African goldmining industry as well as current programmes to find and compensate ex-miners with silicosis require an understanding of variation in silicosis prevalence across the ...

Mechanics-activated fibroblasts promote pulmonary group 2 innate lymphoid cell plasticity propelling silicosis progression

Nature Communications
Crystalline silica (CS) particle exposure leads to silicosis which is characterized as progressive fibrosis. Fibroblasts are vital effector cells in fibrogenesis.

Global and national burden and trends of mortality and disability-adjusted life years for silicosis, from 1990 to 2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease study 2019

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Silicosis, as an important type of pneumoconiosis, leads to progressive and irreversible conditions from the beginning of inflammation and fibrosis. However, the data on the global burden of silicosis and long-term trends were limited. Methods
