Asbestos related diseases

The development of specific and reliable analytical procedures for the detection, location, and quantification of mineral particles in biological tissues (Henderson and Barr, 1988) has provided both the experimental techniques and additional evidence for detecting aluminosilicates in Alzheimer brains (Singhrao et al., 1990). The association of asbestos-related disease with severe... [Pg.252]

Experimental in vitro investigations utilizing liposomal-encapsulated and polyethylene glycol-conjugated SOD and catalase have demonstrated the potential value of such means in countering oxidative asbestos-related diseases (Freeman etal., 1985 Mossman etal., 1986). In addition to using supplementary endogenous antioxidant enzymes, the use of iron chelators like desferrioxamine... [Pg.254]

Immunological and Lymphoreticular Effects. Studies of workers suffering from asbestos-related diseases such as asbestosis or mesothelioma indicate that the cellular immune system in such patients can be depressed. This is an effect of particular interest and concern since impaired immune surveillance may contribute to the increased incidence of cancer in asbestos-exposed people. Moreover, variation in immune system functional capability might be an important determinant of why some people develop cancer or asbestosis while others, with approximately equal exposures, do not. However, it is very difficult to... [Pg.36]

Immunotoxicity. There are numerous studies of the immune system in workers (active or retired) exposed to asbestos in workplace air (deShazo et al. 1988 Froom et al. 2000 Kagan et al. 1977 Pemis et al. 1965 Sprince et al. 1991, 1992 Warwick et al. 1973). These studies indicate that the immune system may be depressed in individuals who have developed clinical signs of injury, such as asbestosis or cancer. However, the cause-effect relationship between the immunological changes and the asbestos-related diseases is not certain. Also, it is not known if similar effects occur after oral exposure, or if the effects are inhalation specific. Prospective studies on this subject may be useful, both in discerning the importance of... [Pg.146]

Pleura A thin lining or membrane around the lungs or chest cavity. This lining can become thickened or calcified in asbestos-related disease. [Pg.390]

In general, it is recognized that there are multiple cellular and molecular responses to asbestos fibers, that no single mechanism is likely to account for all asbestos-related diseases, that the precise steps in pathogenic pathways leading to asbestos-related disease are not fiilly established, and that fiber structural and chemical properties (e.g., length, width, iron content, durability, surface areas) are important variables that play a role in the development of lung and pleural injury. [Pg.411]

Additional research may help to develop therapeutic methods to interfere with the development of nonmalignant lung and pleural disorders, and to cause the disorders to regress once they are established. Such research may include studies on the mechanism of asbestos-related disease to provide further understanding of how persistent production of reactive oxygen or nitrogen species and persistent inflammatory cellular responses precisely interact. [Pg.427]
