Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Workers Exposed to SiO₂
Chronická obstrukční plicní nemoc u pracujících exponovaných SiO₂
Cílem práce je shrnout současné informace o vlivu křemene (SiO₂) na vývoj chronické obstrukční bronchopulmonální nemoci (CHOPN). Snahou je zdůvodnit začlenění CHOPN z expozice křemeni do seznamu nemocí z povolání, jehož novelizace se chystá. Autorka podává souhrn epidemiologických studií, které potvrzují roli SiO₂ v rozvoji chronické bronchitidy a CHOPN.
Klíčová slova:

Overview
The objective of the paper is to summarize current data on influence of quartz on the development of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of the paper is to justify integration of COPD caused by SiO₂ to the list of occupational diseases to be reviewed. The author submits a review of epidemiological surveys, which confirm the role of SiO₂ in the progress of chronic bronchitis and COPD.
Key words:
stages of COPD, pathophysiology of SiO₂ activity, chronic bronchitis, oxidative stress, inflammatory markers BAL, smoking
