Renal effects of low-level environmental cadmium exposure: 5-year follow-up of a subcohort from the Cadmibel study.

Description : BACKGROUND: The clinical relevance of renal effects of cadmium in people exposed in the environment remains uncertain. This study examined the evolution of renal effects observed in a population exposed to cadmium in the environment. METHODS: 208 men and 385 women surveyed in 1985-89 (Cadmium in Bel...

The cytotoxic activity of amorphous silica nanoparticles is mainly influenced by surface area and not by aggregation.

Description : The aggregation state of NP has been a significant source of difficulty for assessing their toxic activity and great efforts have been done to reduce aggregation of and/or to disperse NP in experimental systems. The exact impact of aggregation on toxicity has, however, not been adequately assessed. ...

Lung fibrosis induced by crystalline silica particles is uncoupled from lung inflammation in NMRI mice.

Description : Previous studies in rats have suggested a causal relationship between progressive pulmonary inflammation and lung fibrosis induced by crystalline silica particles. We report here that, in NMRI mice, the lung response to silica particles is accompanied by a mild and non progressive pulmonary inflamma...

The nanosilica hazard : another variable entity.

Description : Silica nanoparticles (SNPs) are produced on an industrial scale and are an addition to a growing number of commercial products. SNPs also have great potential for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications in medicine. Contrary to the well-studied crystalline micron-sized silica, relativel...

Investigations on the liver toxicity of a blend of HCFC-123 (2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane) and HCFC-124 (2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) in guinea-pigs.

Description : 2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123) has been developed as a substitute for ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It is a structural analogue of halothane and similarities in the metabolic pathways and liver toxicity of both compounds have been described. The present study was initiat...

The role of pro- and anti-inflammatory responses in silica-induced lung fibrosis.

Description : BACKGROUND: It has been generally well accepted that chronic inflammation is a necessary component of lung fibrosis but this concept has recently been challenged. METHODS: Using biochemical, histological, immunohistochemistry, and cellular analyses, we compared the lung responses (inflammation and f...
