Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary responses of mice, rats, and hamsters to subchronic inhalation of ultrafine titanium dioxide particles.

TL;DR: There were significant species differences in the pulmonary responses to inhaled uf-TiO(2) particles, including inflammation, cytotoxicity, lung cell proliferation, and histopathological alterations in rats, mice, and hamsters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Pulmonary Responses of Three Laboratory Rodent Species to Subchronic Inhalation of Pigmentary Titanium Dioxide Particles

TL;DR: Under conditions in which the lung p-TiO(2) burdens were similar and likely to induce pulmonary overload, rats developed a more severe and persistent pulmonary inflammatory response than either mice or hamsters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-induced interstitial fibrosis in the lungs of rats is associated with increased levels of PDGF mRNA and the formation of unique intercellular carbon structures that bridge alveolar macrophages in situ.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that SWCNT do not cause lung inflammation and yet induce the formation of small, focal interstital fibrotic lesioins in the alveolar region of the lungs of rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrafine carbon black particles enhance respiratory syncytial virus-induced airway reactivity, pulmonary inflammation, and chemokine expression.

TL;DR: A synergistic effect of ultrafine CB particles on RSV infection is demonstrated, and a potential mechanism for increased respiratory infections in human populations after PM exposure is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant defense mechanisms in cultured pleural mesothelial cells.

TL;DR: Investigation of the role of different antioxidant pathways in cultured rat pleural mesothelial cells suggested that the results of the catalase-inhibition studies are probably not due to a change in the characteristics of the cells in culture, and 3-Aminobenzamide is known to prevent NAD depletion through inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase during oxidant stress.
