Journal ArticleDOI

Early Life Wildfire Smoke Exposure Is Associated with Immune Dysregulation and Lung Function Decrements in Adolescence.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ambient wildfire smoke exposure during infancy results in sex‐dependent attenuation of systemic TLR responses and reduced lung volume in adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis: correlation of biochemical, physiological, and histological changes.

TL;DR: Lung damage was evaluated using a variety of indices, including body weight, right apical lung lobe wet weight, protein- and collagen-synthesis rates by lung minces, lung hydroxyproline content, lung compliance, and lung histology, and biochemical assays did not correlate with physiological changes 5 and 8 weeks after instillation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synergistic effects on rat lungs of mixtures of oxidant air pollutants (ozone or nitrogen dioxide) and respirable aerosols

TL;DR: A hitherto unexpected synergism between the oxidant air pollutants ozone or nitrogen dioxide and a respirable-sized aerosol of ammonium sulfate was observed during controlled exposures of rats to these substances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Silica increases cytosolic free calcium ion concentration of alveolar macrophages in vitro.

TL;DR: Rat alveolar macrophages exposed to silica dust suspended in culture medium and fluctuation in their cytosolic free calcium content was detected, suggesting that SiO2-induced macrophage damage, a key event in the development of silicosis, may involve perturbation of intracellular calcium homeostasis.
