Analysis and interpretation of inorganic mineral particles in "lung" tissues.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mineral analysis of tissue specimens has provided very useful information in pathological conditions associated with occupational exposures to mineral particles, particularly when combined with epidemiological information. Most of the data have been related to exposures to fibrous particles such as asbestos. More investigations of this nature are required in diseases associated with exposure to non-fibrous particles. In the future it is likely that these types of investigation will be extended into the effects of pollutants.

Asbestos Presence in a Factory that Produced Asbestos-Containing Products
In 2007, research was carried out to determine the type and amount of asbestos fibers in a Croatian factory with a long history of making asbestos-containing products.Since the 1970s, asbestos fibres have been considered carcinogenic in humans i.e as a known cancer-causing agent. In the environment, asbestos fibres are inactive and naturally resist biodegradation. In time, fibres can only be gr...

Twenty-one Lori–Bakhtiary sheep were randomly allocated into 3 groups to compare the effects of oral selenium nano particles (Se NPs) and sodium selenite (Na-Se) supplementation on serum selenium, copper, zinc, molybdenum, manganese and cobalt concentration. Groups 1 and 2 orally received Se NPs and Na-Se (1 mg/kg) for 10 consecutive days, respectively ...

Hydroxyapatite (HA), which is represented by the formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, is one of the inorganic components of the hard tissues of living bodies such as bones, teeth, etc. HA is a calcium phosphate-based bioceramic, which has been used in medicine and dentistry for more than 20 years because of its excellent biocompatibility with human tissues. The precipitation process, considered here, ...
متن کاملElemental analysis of inorganic dusts in lung tissues of interstitial pneumonias.
People have the opportunity to inhale inorganic dusts under various environments. Inorganic dust exposures as a result of occupational exposure may induce or modulate pulmonary fibrosis. We analyzed the deposition of elements in lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and compared element deposition with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (chronic HP) and collagen va...
