在这篇內容丰富的有关矽肺及其合并症的治疗之評論中,作者将治疗分为三部分:(1)病源学的;(2)病理学的;(3)及合并症的治疗。病源学的治疗包含了有计划的防止矽进入机体和促进矽的排泄,或者是抑制矽的致病作用等等方法。碱性物质吸入剂促进矽的溶解度,如吸入鋁粉,鈉、鈣剂,某些含有矿物质的泉水和带电荷活性的气溶胶体等可以减低矽在肺組織內的作用。病理学的治疗可能应用的方法包括有(1)生物 In this informative review of the treatment of silicosis and its comorbidities, the authors divided the treatment into three parts: (1) etiology; (2) pathology; and (3) treatment of comorbidities. Etiological treatment includes planned to prevent the silicon into the body and promote the excretion of silicon, or to inhibit the pathogenic role of silicon and so on. Alkaline inhalers promote the solubility of silicon, such as inhalation of aluminum powder, sodium, calcium, some mineral-containing springs and charged active aerosols can reduce the role of silicon in lung tissue. Possible treatments for pathological treatment include (1) organisms
