Pulmonary response to polyurethane dust.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Weanling and 9 months or older rats were exposed to particles of an aged (PUF I) or freshly prepared (PUF II) rigid polyurethane foam by intratracheal intubation. The dose was 5 mg of particles. The response of the lung tissue was examined morphologically by serial sacrifices. Inflammation and macrophage activity were the initial responses. Fibrosis developed after 6 months. Nodular scars and perifocal emphysema were seen after 12 months. Four rats had a papillary adenoma in a major bronchus after 18 months exposure to PUF II.

Prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis before and after soil dust in Khuzestan, southwest Iran
Abstract Background: Soil dust has been debated about its effects on public health and the challenge is brought about tuberculosis (TB). The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of soil dust on pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) prevalence and its control indices. Methods: The medical files of patients in Khuzestan Health Center were reviewed. The control group included the PTB...

INTERNATIONAl. CONFERENCE ON BYSSINOSIS 81S study may have been due to the differences in dust concentrations for the different cottons. An accurate adjustment for these differences cannot be made because only two closely spaced points on the doseresponse curve for standard cotton dust were obtained, and it may not be accurate to assume a similar slope for the dose-response to closed boll cotto...
متن کاملDust emission during cutting of polyurethane-impregnated bandages.
The airborne dust generated when cutting splinting bandages represents a potential respiratory hazard, particularly to those who regularly remove casts with a power saw. Plaster of Paris (POP) dust is already classified by the Health and Safety Executive as a nuisance dust. This paper reports on a study to determine the nature, size and concentration of dust produced when cutting polyurethane (...
متن کاملEotaxin represents the principal eosinophil chemoattractant in a novel murine asthma model induced by house dust containing cockroach allergens.
Asthma represents a serious health problem particularly for inner city children, and recent studies have identified that cockroach allergens trigger many of these asthmatic attacks. This study tested the concept that asthma-like pulmonary inflammation may be induced by house dust containing cockroach allergens. An aqueous extract was prepared from a house dust sample containing endotoxin and hi...
متن کاملMulti-response Optimization of Grooved Circular Tubes Filled with Polyurethane Foam as Energy Absorber
The main objective of this research is to improvethe design and performance of the polyurethane foam-filled thin-walled aluminum grooved circular tubes using multi-response optimization (MRO) technique. The tubes are shaped with the inner and the outer circular grooves at different positions along the axis. For this aim, several numerical simulations using ABAQUS finite element explicit code ar...
