内容説明

This volume illustrates the impact of environmental oxidants on the tissues of the eyes, lungs and skin, as well as on the immune system - highlighting common illnesses, injuries and pathologies induced by pro-oxidant environmental xenobiotics such as inflammation, immune response, signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, and carcinogenesis. It provides clinical presentations and discusses the effects of environmental oxidants on target organs.

目次

• Molecular and cellular aspects of pro-oxidant environmental xenobiotics: free radical reactions in human disease
• radicals and inflammation - mediators and modulators
• autoimmunology caused by oxidising foreign compounds
• role of oxidative stress in chemical carcinogenesis
• proposed mechanisms of arsenic toxicity carcinogenesis
• redox regulation of gene expression and transcription factors in response to environmental oxidants. Target organs of environmental oxidants - lung: cigarette smoking and pulmonary oxidative damage
• the health effects of diesel exhaust and diesel exhaust particles
• the role of free radicals in asbestos- and silica-induced fibrotic lung diseases
• reactive oxygen and silica-induced carcinogenesis
• atmospheric oxidants and respiratory tract surfaces. Target organs of environmental oxidants - skin: redox modulation and oxidative stress in dermatotoxicology
• dermatotoxicology of environmental and occupational hazards - agents and action
• photo-oxidative stress in skin and regulation of gene expression
• ozone induces stress in the skin barrier
• immunotoxicology of oxidizing chemicals in the skin. Target organs of environmental oxidants - eye: environmental stressors and the eye - an overview
• free radicals and ageing of anterior segment tissues of the eye
• the role of ocular free radicals in age-related macular degeneration
• nutritional influences on risk for cataract.
