Comments on “Sulfur Mustard and Respiratory Diseases,” Tang & Loke (2012) and a prepared integrated mechanism for chronic pulmonary disease from exposure to sulfur mustard

Sulfur mustard and respiratory diseases: Revisit with special reference to the “Comments on ‘Sulfur Mustard and Respiratory Diseases’, Tang and Loke () and a prepared Integrated Mechanism for Chronic Pulmonary Disease from Exposure to Sulfur Mustard” by Saburi and Ghanei ()

“…Combined with many other reports mentioned in our publication (Tang & Loke, 2012), a comprehensive genomic study will certainly reveal more mutated gene and provide evidence for better understanding of the mechanism of HD-induced respiratory diseases. We agree with Saburi & Ghanei (2013) that focusing on searching a possible commeasure point between antioxidant system and inflammatory pathway in future studies may provide a new therapeutic target for effective treatment of HD-induced human diseases. This investigation may however take some time to come into fruition.…”
