The Effects of Air Pollution Particles on Clearance Mechanisms Within the Lung (2004)
Thesis
Barlow, P. G. The Effects of Air Pollution Particles on Clearance Mechanisms Within the Lung. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/1052591

The effects of inhaled aIr pollution particles on lung clearance mechanisms is an important factor in understanding how the mammalian lung deals with such pollutants and, as such, how exposure to these pollutants can be regulated. The nanoparticle

Expression of pro-inflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549, in response to cytokine, and environmental particle exposure. (2003)
Thesis
Ramage, L. environmental particle exposure. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2778

This thesis investigates the effects of various inflammatory stimuli, including cytokines and air pollution particles, on the expression and secretion of various proinflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549. The pro-inflammatory pro... Read More about Expression of pro-inflammatory proteins in the lung epithelial cell line A549, in response to cytokine, and environmental particle exposure..

Molecular toxicology studies on the quartz hazard. (2003)
Thesis
Duffin, R. Molecular toxicology studies on the quartz hazard. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2777

Silicon makes up almost 28% of the Earth's crust and within that crust, quartz (crystalline silica) is one of the most abundant minerals. Exposure to quartz can occur
in a number of occupations, including the mining and construction industries in wh... Read More about Molecular toxicology studies on the quartz hazard..

Investigation of the substrate binding sites of elastase (1986)
Thesis
Shah, V. K. Investigation of the substrate binding sites of elastase. (Thesis). Napier College of Commerce and Technology. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/6047

Studies of pancreatic elastase were undertaken to examine substrate binding and of human leukocyte elastase to try to gain insight into the disease, pulmonary emphysema. Porcine pancreatic elastase was inhibited by various inhibitors p-toluene sulpho... Read More about Investigation of the substrate binding sites of elastase.
