Oxidative stress appears to be important in the causation and perpetuation of tissue injury and fibrosis in systemic sclerosis or scleroderma (SSc). We conducted a case-control study to assess lipid peroxidation levels as determined by measuring fast

Exposure of animals and humans to crocidolite asbestos fibers produces fibrosis and two types of cancers: bronchogenic carcinoma and mesothelioma. It is therefore desirable to reduce toxicity of these fibers without affecting their other characterist

Crocidolite is a fibrous mineral asbestiform which is widely used in industry. The fibers of this material have a high electron donor capability. This promotes electrostatic repulsion between the fibers and they are readily dispersed into the atmosph

A process for the detoxification of crocidolite fibers was previously reported in the literature. The fibers of this mineral asbestiform were treated with ferric oxide salts to form a metal-micelle polymer surface coating which prevented physiologica

57Fe Mossbauer effect spectroscopy studies were conducted on native crocidolite and on a sample which had been detoxified by means of a chemical treatment with ferric salts. This allows for a comparison between the crystal chemistry of the untreated

Asbestos fibers catalyze the generation of oxygen-centered radicals in the presence of oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. The amount of iron in asbestos fibers, its oxidation state, and its availability to specific chelating agents determine their ability

Many researchers in different parts of the world are actively involved in recording the available information on traditional medicine. To contribute to this vast task, we chose Venda, one of the more remote tribes in Southern Africa. We found traditi

Glass fibres are considered to be inert and therefore thought to present no real hazard to the health of people who inhale them. Results in the present study however indicate that these fibres are able to produce hydroxyl radicals in the presence of
