| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In-air microparticle-induced X-ray emission (in-air micro-PIXE) analysis is employed to assess the spatial distribution and content of small amount of element in lung biopsy specimens. We analyzed the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis induced by inhaled asbestos or dust by microPIXE. The analysis of lung tissues from mice administrated silica particle and lung fibrosis patients showed significant increase of iron level on silica particle. And the expression of markers of oxidative stress and apoptosis were co-localized with silica particles. Lung tissues from 12 lung fibrosis patients were subjected to in-air micro-PIXE analysis. Two IIP patients showed a large quantity of Si and the co-localization of Si and Fe deposition with Fas expression.
