Response of cell cultures to asbestos fibers
نویسنده
چکیده
The reaction of macrophages to asbestos and glass fibers was studied by light and by electron microscopy. Measurements were made of LDH release, staining with erythrosine B, and lactate production. Size and shape of asbestos fibers were found to have more effect than the physicochemical properties of the surface. Long fibers resulted in a protracted pathogenic but no acute cytotoxic effect.

Evaluation of cellular immunity in patients with asbestosis and workers exposed to asbestos
Introduction: A large number of studies have proved a relationship between maligant mesothelioma and workers exposed to asbestos. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of immunocompetence of the asbestos workers in comparison with non asbestos workers. Methods and materials: In this study 7 asbestotic patients, 73 workers exposed to asbestos and 59 controls from 2 Farsit fact...

Background and aims : Asbestos minerals are divided into two main groups including serpentine and amphiboles and each has one or more subgroups. These minerals have been used in industrial products such as cement-asbestos sheet and pipe, brake shoe, clutch and insulation materials. Occupational and non - occupational exposures by this carcinogenic material have caused to develop several metho...

متن کاملCrocidolite asbestos fibers undergo size-dependent microtubule-mediated transport after endocytosis in vertebrate lung epithelial cells.
The large respiratory epithelial cells within primary cultures of newt (Taricha granulosa) lung are uniquely suited for high resolution video-enhanced light-microscopic studies. We show here that these cells incorporate crocidolite asbestos fibers within 18 h by endocytosis. Once inside the cell, fibers less than 5 microns in length are seen by video light microscopy to undergo saltatory transp...
متن کاملAsbestos 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...
