Agricultural workers are exposed to a variety of airborne dusts, including crystalline silica and other inorganic minerals. This study was designed to characterize the organic and inorganic components of agricultural dusts in California grape- and ci

Rationale: Oxidative stress is believed to play a key role in the development of welding-induced disease. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of welding fume exposure on correlates of oxidative stress in the serum of asymptomatic shipyard

Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) at three concentrations (5, 35, and 50 mg/kg body weight) were instilled into rats intratracheally. We studied gene expression at 1, 7, and 30 days postexposure in cells obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and in

In previous reports from this study, measurements of pulmonary inflammation, bronchoalveolar lavage cell cytokine production and nuclear factor-κB activation, cytotoxic damage, and fibrosis were detailed. In this study, we investigated the temporal

Previous studies on symptomatic coal miners have shown that alveolar macrophages, recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), release excessive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory cytokines. It has been proposed that these secret

Fracturing quartz produces silica-based radicals on the fracture planes and generates hydroxyl radicals (.OH) in aqueous media. .OH production has been shown to be directly associated with quartz-induced cell damage and phagocyte activation in vitro.

We hypothesized that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be involved in the pathogenesis of silicosis. To investigate ROS' dependent pathophysiological processes during silicosis we studied the kinetic clearance of instilled stable nitroxide radicals (

We have reported previously that grinding crystalline silica generates radicals on its cleavage planes and that this fresh dust is more cytotoxic in vitro than aged silica. The objective of the present study was to determine if freshly fractured sili

Occupational exposure to coal mine dust causes coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and other pulmonary diseases by mechanisms that remain unclear. Because the hydroxyl radicals (.OH) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of CWP, we studied th

To better characterize the hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen, the effects of this drug were investigated on isolated liver cells from a species relatively resistant to acetaminophen toxicity, rainbow trout. At high concentrations of acetaminophen (2-10
