Pulmonary and systemic effects of inhaled crystalline silica in the HOCl-induced mouse model of systemic sclerosis: An experimental model of Erasmus syndrome.

Occupational exposure to crystalline silica is etiologically linked to an increased incidence of systemic sclerosis (SSc), also called Erasmus syndrome. The underlying mechanisms of silica-related SSc are still poorly understood. We demonstrated that early and repeated silica exposure contribute to the severity of SSc symptoms in the hypochloric acid (HOCl)-induced SSc mouse model.

Silicosis is a systemic disease marked by diffuse pulmonary fibrosis resulting from prolonged inhalation of crystalline silica (CS) dust. This study aimed to examine the effects of anisodamine (ANI) on pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in silicosis, as well as to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Animal experiments demonstrated that ANI significantly reduced alveolar structure damage and the formation of silicosis nodules in affected mice, as confirmed by pathological slides.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence rates of mycobacterial infections in silicosis patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD).

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort of silicosis patients between January of 1999 and December of 2023. We compared the incidence of tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial disease (NTM) in patients with silicosis with and without ARD.

Background: Silicosis and coal worker's pneumoconiosis primarily result from exposure to silica and coal dust. Despite similar exposure levels, individuals exhibit varying responses. This study aimed to address these gaps to explore the genetic factors influencing the development, severity, and associated complications.
