Publications
Pulmonary and intraperitoneal inflammation induced by cellulose fibresR T Cullen
Institute of Occupational Medicine, 8 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU, UK
J Appl Toxicol 20:49-60. 2000..We conclude that the cellulose material studied is less inflammogenic than crocidolite and that the extent of the inflammatory response within the lung appears to reduce with continued exposure over a 14-day period...
Pathogenicity of a special-purpose glass microfiber (E glass) relative to another glass microfiber and amosite asbestosR T Cullen
Institute of Occupational Medicine, 8 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU, UK
Inhal Toxicol 12:959-77. 2000....
Inhalation of poorly soluble particles. I. Differences in inflammatory response and clearance during exposureR T Cullen
Institute of Occupational Medicine, 8 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU, United Kingdom
Inhal Toxicol 12:1089-111. 2000..The explanation that the different responses are due to the different particle size distributions of the two dust types is examined in a companion paper (Tran et al., this issue)...
Tumorigenicity of cellulose fibers injected into the rat peritoneal cavityR T Cullen
Institute of Occupational Medicine, 8 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU, UK
Inhal Toxicol 14:685-703. 2002..This study has demonstrated that a high dose of cellulose fibers is capable of producing tumors when injected into the abdominal cavity of rats...
Influence of fibre length, dissolution and biopersistence on the production of mesothelioma in the rat peritoneal cavityB G Miller
Institute of Occupational Medicine, Edinburgh, UK
Ann Occup Hyg 43:155-66. 1999..Improved quantification of the relative importance of fibre dimensions and biopersistence indices requires experimentation with a range of doses...
Inhalation of poorly soluble particles. II. Influence Of particle surface area on inflammation and clearanceC L Tran
Institute of Occupational Medicine, 8 Roxburgh Place, Edinburgh EH8 9SU, UK
Inhal Toxicol 12:1113-26. 2000..On the basis of this and other similar results, a hypothesis regarding a generic mechanism for the impairment of clearance and associated lung responses is proposed for such "low-toxicity" dusts...
Short-term inhalation and in vitro tests as predictors of fiber pathogenicityR T Cullen
Institute of Occupational Medicine, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Environ Health Perspect 105:1235-40. 1997..We believe that this assay should be validated with a wider range of fibers, doses, and time points...
Biopersistence and durability of nine mineral fibre types in rat lungs over 12 monthsA Searl
Institute of Occupational Medicine, Edinburgh, UK
Ann Occup Hyg 43:143-53. 1999..Biopersistence was influenced by both fibre dimensions and solubility...
