| description | It is thought that inhaled dusts such as asbestos and man-made mineral fibers in the lung repeatedly induce persistent inflammation and finally lead to pulmonary fibrosis and respiratory cancer. There have been many studies about whether a variety of factors, such as oxidative stress including free radicals, chemokines, inflammatory cytokines, and fibrosis-related cytokines are related to pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. In this paper, we introduce the relationship between these factors and these diseases. It is important to determine what physicochemical properties of fibrous materials such as asbestos are related to asbestos-related diseases. We show the relationship between the physicochemical properties of not only asbestos but also other fibrous materials and inflammation, fibrosis and biopersistence in the lung. |
