[Research progress of occupational and environmental exposure and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis].

Occupational and environmental exposure can directly cause specific lung diseases, and can also induce autoimmune diseases that can lead to various types of interstitial lung diseases. In recent years, it was discovered that certain occupational and environmental exposure was related to the increased risk of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) disease and progression, including metal and mineral dust, wood dust, organic dust, asbestos dust, silica dust, cigarette smoke and air pollution. IPF is a chronic progressive fibrotic lung disease of unknown etiology, with a characteristic imaging and histologic pattern called usual interstitial pneumonia. This article is a review based on the correlation and mechanism of occupational and environmental exposure in the pathogenesis and disease progression of IPF to improve the understanding of the disease and promote the formulation of treatment plans.职业和环境暴露会直接引起特定的肺部疾病，还可诱发自身免疫疾病从而继发各类间质性肺疾病。近年来，研究发现一些特定的职业和环境暴露与特发性肺纤维化（IPF）的发病和疾病进展的风险增加有关，主要暴露因素包括金属粉尘、木粉尘、其他有机粉尘、石棉粉尘、二氧化硅粉尘、烟草烟雾及空气污染物等。IPF是一种病因不明的慢性进行性纤维化性肺部疾病，其胸部影像和肺组织病理呈普通型间质性肺炎。本文对IPF发病和疾病进展过程中职业和环境暴露的相关性及作用机制进行综述，以期提高对该疾病的认识，推动治疗方案的制定。.
