Objective. To study myocardial and lung injuries initiated by hydrogen sulfide, and evaluate the role and effectiveness of normobaric and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment in rats. Methods. One hundred healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: A: Normal control group (no H2S); B: H2S-exposed group; C: H2S+33% oxygen treatment group; D: H2S+50% oxygen treatment group; E: H2S+HBO group. The rats in groups C, D and E were exposed to H2S in an exposure chamber (1 m3) and were made to inhale 300 ppm hydrogen sulfide for 60 min, and then they were subjected to normobaric or HBO therapy. Normobaric oxygen was at concentrations of 33% or 50%, HBO was for 100 min including compression and decompression; the rats in group A inhaled air under the same conditions. Blood was sampled immediately after the experiment for analysis of arterial blood gases, myocardial enzymes and cardiac troponin I. Lung was rapidly removed to be made into tissue homogenates and then cytochrome c oxidase activity was measured; myocardial and lung ultrastructural changes were observed by electron microscopy. Results. Arterial blood gases: partial pressure of O2 (mmHg) (Group A, 97.6 ± 8.38; B, 76.5 ± 6.95*; C, 83.2 ± 2.66*; D, 86.20 ± 10.75*; E, 93.50 ± 4.97: *p < 0.01 compared to group A) was significantly lower than that in group in all but HBO rats. For myocardial enzymes and cardiac troponin I every parameter in groups B and C was significantly higher than that in group A (p<0.01),with no difference in D and E. Cytochrome c oxidase activity (u/mg) of lung tissue was reduced compared to group A after all treatments (A, 1.76 ± 0.02; B, 0.36 ± 0.04; C, 0.50 ± 0.12; D, 0.56 ± 0.07; E, 0.68 ± 0.05 (A vs. B p < 0.01; B vs. C,D,E p < 0.05 or p < 0.01 ), with a graded effect of oxygen dose in C, D and E. Pathological changes: (1) Myocardium – Mitochondrial swelling and autolysis with blurred or broken cristae was observed in the myocardium of H2S-exposed group; in group E, mitochondrial structure was basically normal, and clear cristae were found. (2) Lung tissue – In H2S-exposed group, alveolar epithelial cells disappeared, vacuolization of the organelle occurred, nuclear membrane was irregular and marginal condensation of heterochromatin was present; nucleus showed relatively normal morphology in group E, although some vacuoles still persisted within them. Conclusions. HBO therapy can effectively improve arterial oxygen partial pressure, and significantly reduce myocardial damage, as well as potentially relieve lung injury in this model. Further work in humans appears warranted.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of different oxygen therapy technique (different concentrations of normobaric oxygen and the hyperbaric oxygen) on the ultrastructure of cardiac muscle, lung and liver in rats with acute hydrogen sulfide intoxication.METHODS:One hundred healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group (A), poisoned group (B), oxygen therapy group (C), oxygen therapy group (D) and oxygen therapy group (E). After the exposure to 300 ppm H2S for 60 min in a static exposure tank (1 m3), the rats were treated with oxygen therapy, C, D and E groups were given 33% oxygen, 50% oxygen of atmospheric oxygen and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 100 min, respectively. The rats in normal control group inhaled air under the same environment. After exposure and therapy, the tissues of lung, heart and liver were observed under light microscope and electron microscope.RESULTS:The results of light microscope examination showed that the broken and not well aligned cardiac myofilaments, cytoplasmic edema and pyknosis could be seen in group B. The well aligned and clear cardiac myofilaments appeared in group C, D and E. The alveolar hemorrhage, edema and inflammatory cells exudation could not be seen in group A. Alveolar epithelial cell edema, unsmooth alveolar edge and alveolar inflammatory cells exudation could be found in group B. The unsmooth alveolar septal borders and pulmonary edema could be seen occasionally in group C and D, the alveolar inflammatory cells exudation could not be seen in group E. The regular hepatic boards and the uniform hepatic cellular nuclei were found in group A. The disordered hepatic boards, widened cellular gaps and cytoplasmic edema could be seen occasionally in group B. The irregular hepatic boards and ballooning degeneration could be seen in group C and D. The regular hepatic boards and uniform cytoplasm could be found in group E. The results of electron microscope examination indicated that the mitochondrial swelling, autolyzing, fuzzy and breakage of myocardial cells were observed in group B; the clear mitochondrial structure appeared in group E. The apoptosis and organelle vacuole of alveolar epithelial cells could be observed in group B. The relatively normal nuclei of alveolar epithelial cells could be seen in group E. The lax cytoplast structure of hepatocytes, unclear nuclear membrane, lumped chromatin, slightly swelled mitochondria and phagosomes were observed in group B. However, no improved change was observed in group C, D and E.CONCLUSION:Hydrogen sulfide could induce the extensive and severe damage of myocardial mitochondria, alveolar epithelial cells and hepatocytes, the oxygen therapy in good time could reduce significantly the myocardial injury, and improve the lung injury to some extent. High-pressure oxygen therapy is better than the normobaric oxygen therapy.
The toxic mechanism of hydrogen sulfide(H2S) is not only inhibiting cytochrome oxidase but also inhibitingmonoamine oxidase and generating free radicals etc..Therefore,oxygen therapy should be very important and given as soon aspossible for H2S poisoning;hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute hypoxic ischemic brain damage is reasonable and should also begiven early and appropriately.Additionally,evidences showed,that hydroxocobalamin(vitamin B12a) could work as an anti-dote against H2S poisoning as well.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the clinical features and the rescue of pneumoconiosis with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). METHODS:26 patients with pneumoconiosis and PTE, male 16, female 10, were collected from June 2002 to June 2006 and 42 patients only with pneumoconiosis served as control. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), thrombomodulin (TM), plasma protein S, C (Ps, Pc), homocysteine (Hcy) were measured by the methods of ILISA, and antithrombin (AT-III) by chromo substrate method before and after the treatment of heparin. RESULTS:The average age of patients with pneumoconiosis and PTE was 66.0 +/- 11.9 years old. The number of patients with pneumoconiosis of degree 1, 2, 3 was 3, 16 and 7 respectively. After anticoagulant therapy of heparin, 23 were well improved, and 3 died of acute respiratory failure. Dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis, syncope were the conspicuous symptoms. The levels of D-Dimer (0.63 +/- 0.14 mg/L), TM (5.02 +/- 1.24 microg/L) were significantly higher than those of the control (P < 0.05), and significantly lower again after the treatment (P < 0.05). The level of AT-III (96.68 +/- 7.23%) was significantly lower than that of the control, and higher again after the treatment (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:PTE is often developed in the elder patients with high degree of pneumoconiosis (> or = 2 degree). Clinical features are complicated and non-specific, with the high negative ratio of D-Dimer (7/26), high mortality and high complications of anticoagulant therapy.
Human saliva offers a unique noninvasive approach for populational study. Purposes of this study were to investigate the feasibility of using saliva manganese (Mn) concentration as a biomarker of Mn exposure among career welders and to study the variations of Mn, copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in saliva as affected by the welding profession. Forty-nine male welders, of whom 28 were in the low exposed group and 21 in the high exposed group, were recruited. Control subjects were 33 military soldiers without metal exposure. Ambient Mn levels in breathing zones were 0.01, 0.24 and 2.21mg/m(3) for control, low, and high exposed groups, respectively. Saliva samples were collected to quantify metals by inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Saliva concentrations of Mn and Cu were significantly higher in welders than in controls (p<0.01); the variation in saliva levels appeared likely to be associated with airborne Mn levels among study populations. Saliva levels of Zn were significantly lower in welders than in controls (p<0.05), while Cd and Pb levels in saliva were unchanged. Significant associations were observed between saliva and serum for Mn (r=0.575, p<0.05) and Cu (r=0.50, p<0.05). Moreover, saliva Mn concentrations were higher among welders with 5-10years of employment than those with less than 5years of employment. Linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between saliva Mn and Cu and between saliva Mn and Zn. Taken together, these data suggest that Mn concentrations in saliva appear reflective of welders' exposure to airborne Mn and their years of welding experience, respectively. Elevated Mn levels among welders may alter the homeostasis of Cu and Zn.

Introduction. Exposure to arsine gas can cause fatal hemolysis and multiorgan damage. Whole blood exchange transfusion and hemodialysis have been recommended to treat severe acute arsine poisoning, but are associated with significant complications and sub-optimal outcomes. Plasma exchange is another method of blood purification technique but there are no data on its use in acute arsine poisoning. This retrospective study evaluated the clinical and effects and arsenic clearance from the use of plasma exchange treatment of patients with acute arsine poisoning. Methods. Data from patients with severe acute arsine poisoning, treated with plasma exchange from December 2000 to December 2005 were collected and analyzed. Measured laboratory factors, performed before and after plasma exchange treatment included routine biochemistry and hematology tests as well as arsenic concentrations in blood, urine, and discarded plasma. Results. During the study period, 12 patients with severe acute arsine poisoning were treated with plasma exchange. Plasma exchange was performed one or two times on each patient, during which the replacement fluid was fresh frozen plasma (total volume ranged from 1400 to 4000 mL). The range of concentrations of arsenic in discarded plasma was 27.7 to 88.7 mg/L and the range of total arsenic removed by plasma exchange was 55.4 to 177.4 mg. Plasma exchange appears to rapidly terminate arsine-induced hemolysis and favorably modify damage to the kidneys and other organs. Laboratory factors that showed significant association with treatment response were creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, blood urea nitrogen, total bilirubin, and heart-related enzymes. All patients recovered from the poisoning and were in good condition at a 2 to 3 months follow-up. Conclusions. Plasma exchange appears to be an effective treatment intervention for patients with severe acute arsine poisoning. It is suggested that it be used as early as possible.
Thallium is a very toxic heavy metal,the lethal dose for adults is approximately 12 mg/kg.The exact mechanism of thallium poisoning is unclear;however,it may competitively inhibit potassium action,bind to sulfydryl group of proteins and enzymes,and form insoluble complexes with riboflavin.The triad of gastroenteritis,polyneuralgia,and alopecia is regard as the classic syndrome of thallium poisoning.Gastrointestinal symptoms,such as nausea,vomiting,and abdominal pain,occur early.Neurologic symptoms are pain and paresthesias of the lower extremities,convulsions,and coma.Hair loss may appear within 1 to 3 weeks after thallium poisoning.Other signs and symptoms are skin eruptions,renal injury,tachycardia and visual disturbances,etc.Death may result from respiratory failure.A 24-hours urine thallium concentration is the most accurate way to assess thallium poisoning.If urine thallium concentration is more than 0.3 mg/L,it is of diagnostic significance.Differentiation of thallium toxicity from Guilliam-Barre syndrome,lead poisoning,and arsenic toxicity should be made.Oral thallium poisoning may be treated with activated charcoal,magnesium sulfate,Prussian blue,etc.The usual dose of Prussian blue is 250 mg/kg daily,given in 4 divided doses by mouth.Hemoperfusion has been reported to be effective in eliminating absorbed thallium.
