Pulmonary granulomatous reaction: talc pneumoconiosis or chronic sarcoidosis?
A chronic pulmonary granulomatous reaction was associated with an almost identical clinical picture in two patients exposed to talc. In both patients lung biopsy showed the deposition of talc particles and a heavy granulomatous reaction. At…

Formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine by asbestos and man made mineral fibres
…were compared with chrysotile fibres for their capacity to hydroxylate 2-deoxyguanosine to 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, a reaction that is mediated by formation of hydroxyl radicals. All three fibres produced 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in the absence of H2O2…

Enhanced lipid peroxidation and lysosomal enzyme activity in the lungs of rats with prolonged pulmonary deposition of crocidolite asbestos
…for example 75.87 versus 30.81 mg at three months), and microscopy showed granulomas containing fibres. The fibrotic reaction tended to diminish by seven months. Activity of two lysosomal enzymes, beta-glucuronidase and cathepsin D…

Quantitative x ray microanalysis of pulmonary mineral particles in a patient with pneumoconiosis and two primary lung tumours
…fire clay mineral. The authors concluded the method reliably identified individual particles. They noted it cannot show whether the dust caused the tissue reaction, and that the particles analysed probably did not represent all minerals present.
