[Free radial activity in patients with pneumoconioses].
The authors examined indicators of the effect of free radicals (MDA, SOD, GSHPx, selenium) in 20 patients with notified simple silicosis or miner's pneumoconiosis, in 11 patients with complicated silicosis or miner's pneumoconiosis and in 10 patients exposed to fibrogenic dust without an X-ray finding of pneumoconiosis. No statistically significant differences between individual groups were found. Subsequent investigations should be focused on subjects with incipient pneumoconiosis who are not yet entitled to damages.
