Silicosis is an aggressive and incurable lung disease. In this study, serum iron levels were increased in silicosis patients, and these levels were strongly associated with serum ferritin levels. Lipid-laden bronchoalveolar lavage macrophages were identified as a major source of ferritin, whereas markers of inflammation were not increased.

In this study, we develop and validate an assay to quantify alveolar crystal burden in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with artificial stone silicosis. This assay may be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of silicosis and assessing response to therapeutic intervention.

447 | Effects of chemical composition on the lung cell response to coal particles: Implications for coal workers' pneumoconiosis
Yong Song, Katherine Southam, B Basil Beamish, Graeme R Zosky
10.1111/resp.14246
To determine whether chemistry is a key determinant of the lung cell response to coal particles, we examined the correlation between the chemical constituents of 19 coal samples and cellular response. We identified K2O and Fe2O3 as the constituents of the coal associated with the greatest detrimental cell response. |
