[Bronchopulmonary diseases in workers engaged in carbonyl production of nickel in the Kola Arctic].

Gig Sanit (2011) PMID 21598645

The paper gives data on the prevalence and pattern of chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (CBPD) in 188 workers engaged in carbonyl production of nickel versus 162 auxiliary process workers. Chronic bronchitis was the most common disease in both groups (11.2 and 5.6%, respectively). 9.6% of the carbonyl production workers were found to have toxic pneumofibrosis developing mainly in those having a service length of more than 20 years. As compared with auxiliary process workers, the nickel production process workers had a higher risk of CBPD (odds ratio 1.80; 95% confidence interval 1.00-3.22; p = 0.04496) who also came to the front in the pattern of occupational diseases (73.2% of all cases).

    We searched for peptides bound to the HLA-B*13:01 molecule; 57 HLA-B*13:01-bound peptides in total were identified and 54 peptides were used to calculate frequency of amino acid residues to obtain binding motifs of HLA-B*13:01 molecule. The results showed P2, P3, and P9 were the primary binding anch...
