Abstract
The shortening of the MRI T1 relaxation time, indicative of a high signal intensity in a T1-weighted MRI, is known as a useful biomarker for Mn exposure after short-term welding-fume exposure. A previous monkey experimental study found that the T1 relaxation times decreased time-dependently after exposure, and a visually detectable high signal intensity appeared after 150 days of exposure. The nadir for the shortening of the T1 relaxation time was also previously found to correspond well with the blood Mn concentration in welders, suggesting a correlation between a prolonged high blood Mn concentration and shortened T1 relaxation time. Accordingly, to clarify the clearance of the brain Mn concentration after the cessation of welding-fume exposure, cynomolgus monkeys were assigned to 3 groups-unexposed, low dose (31 mg/m(3) total suspended particulate (TSP), 0.9 mg Mn/m(3)), and high dose (62 mg/m(3) TSP, 1.95 mg Mn/m(3))-and exposed to manual metal-arc stainless steel (MMA-SS) welding fumes for 2 h per day for 8 mo in an inhalation chamber system equipped with an automatic fume generator. After reaching the peak MRI T1 signal intensity (shortest T1 relaxation time), the monkeys were allowed to recover by ceasing the welding-fum...Continue Reading
