[Possibilities of influencing experimental pneumoconiosis and experimental etching of respiratory organs by means of aerosol-inhalations (author's transl)]. 1978

J Vyskocil

The author presented the results of 7 experiments in which he followed with his co-workers the effect of preventively applied aerosol inhalations with rats and rabbits, dusted with quartz or coal dust. Aerosol inhalations of alkaline mineral water "Vincentka" and of salt mixtures, especially of calcium salts affected in some experiments favourably the development of lung dust changes, in other cases on the contrary they did not. The best effect was proved by polyvinylpyridin-N-oxide (PNO). The author described further his experience with aerosoltherapy in persons affected by inhalation of etching substances. Here the inhalation of 10% CaCl2 or Ca gluconicum and of 1% natrium bicarbonicum proved to be the best.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008900	Mineral Waters	Water naturally or artificially infused with mineral salts or gases.	Mineral Water,Water, Mineral,Waters, Mineral
D011009	Pneumoconiosis	A diffuse parenchymal lung disease caused by inhalation of dust and by tissue reaction to their presence. These inorganic, organic, particulate, or vaporized matters usually are inhaled by workers in their occupational environment, leading to the various forms (ASBESTOSIS; BYSSINOSIS; and others). Similar air pollution can also have deleterious effects on the general population.	Bagassosis,Pneumoconioses
D011144	Polyvinylpyridine N-Oxide	Inhibits the cytotoxic action of quartz and is reported to have delayed the development of experimental silicosis in rats.

D011791	Quartz	Quartz (SiO2). A glassy or crystalline form of silicon dioxide. Many colored varieties are semiprecious stones. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

It includes the therapeutic use of medical gases and their administrative apparatus, environmental control systems, humidification, aerosols, ventilatory support, bronchopulmonary drainage and exercise, respiratory rehabilitation, assistance with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and maintenance of natural, artificial, and mechanical airways.
