They interact with membranes to physically alter the membrane structure and permeability, resulting in the formation of pores. These lesions on the plasma membrane causes an imbalance of cellular ionic gradients, resulting in swelling of the cell and eventually its rupture. Of all cnidarian PFTs, actinoporins are by far the best studied subgroup with established knowledge of their molecular structure and their mode of pore-forming action. However, the current view of necrotic action by actinoporins may not be the only mechanism that induces cell death since there is increasing evidence showing that pore-forming toxins can induce either necrosis or apoptosis in a cell-type, receptor and dose-dependent manner. In this review, we focus on the response of the cellular immune system to the cnidarian pore-forming toxins and the signaling pathways that might be involved in these cellular responses.

  • Question of the Day Archives: Monday, December 5, 2016 Question: Calcium Oxalate Is a Widespread Toxin Found in Many Species of Plants
    Question Of the Day Archives: Monday, December 5, 2016 Question: Calcium oxalate is a widespread toxin found in many species of plants. What is the needle shaped crystal containing calcium oxalate called and what is the compilation of these structures known as? Answer: The needle shaped plant-based crystals containing calcium oxalate are known as raphides. A compilation of raphides forms the structure known as an idioblast. (Lim CS et al. Atlas of select poisonous plants and mushrooms. 2016 Disease-a-Month 62(3):37-66) Friday, December 2, 2016 Question: Which oral chelating agent has been reported to cause transient increases in plasma ALT activity in some patients as well as rare instances of mucocutaneous skin reactions? Answer: Orally administered dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been reported to cause transient increases in ALT activity as well as rare instances of mucocutaneous skin reactions. (Bradberry S et al. Use of oral dimercaptosuccinic acid (succimer) in adult patients with inorganic lead poisoning. 2009 Q J Med 102:721-732) Thursday, December 1, 2016 Question: What is Clioquinol and why was it withdrawn from the market during the 1970s? Answer: According to the cited reference, “Between the 1950s and 1970s Clioquinol was used to treat and prevent intestinal parasitic disease [intestinal amebiasis].” “In the early 1970s Clioquinol was withdrawn from the market as an oral agent due to an association with sub-acute myelo-optic neuropathy (SMON) in Japanese patients. SMON is a syndrome that involves sensory and motor disturbances in the lower limbs as well as visual changes that are due to symmetrical demyelination of the lateral and posterior funiculi of the spinal cord, optic nerve, and peripheral nerves.

    Acute specific surgical infection. Tetanus. Gas gangrene. Anthrax. Diphtheria of wounds. Lecture for general surgery 2021 Chornaya I.A. Tetanus • Tetanus is an infectious disease • caused by contamination of wounds from the bacteria Clostridium tetani (an obligate anaerobic gram-positive bacillus,), or the spores they produce that live in the soil, and animal feces. • Picture of Clostridium tetani, with spore formation (oval forms at end of rods) Clostridium tetani Tetanus bacteria • Tetanus is caused by a bacterium belonging to the Clostridium genus, which thrives in the absence of oxygen. • It is found almost everywhere in the environment, most often in soil, dust, manure, and in the digestive tract of humans and animals. • The bacteria form spores, which are hard to kill and highly resistant to heat and many antiseptics. • Puncture wounds are the best entrance for the bacteria into your body Other tetanus-prone injuries include the following • frostbite, • surgery, • crush wound, • abscesses, • childbirth, • IV drug users (site of needle injection). • Wounds with devitalized (dead) tissue (for example, burns or crush injuries) or foreign bodies (debris in them) are most at risk of developing tetanus. • Tetanus may develop in people who are not immunized against it or in people who have failed to maintain adequate immunity with active booster doses of vaccine. Pathophysiology of Tetanus: • When a person gets injured, the wound or the cut becomes an environment that lacks oxygen. If the spores manage to find their way into the wound or the cut, they are able to germinate. After the spores of the bacterium germinate, they release a exotoxin, which is what causes all the ill- effects of the disease.

In this respect, prior work indicates that tiny, enclosed bilayer lipid membranes (liposomes) have the potential to compete with cellular targets for toxin binding, hence preventing their biological attack and aiding with their clearance. The effectiveness of liposomes as decoy targets depends on their availability in the host and how rapidly they are cleared from the circulation. Although liposome PEGylation may improve their circulation time, little is known about how such a modification influences their interactions with antivirulence factors. To fill this gap in knowledge, we investigated regular and long-circulating liposomes for their ability to prevent in vitro red blood cell hemolysis induced by two potent lytic toxins, lysenin and streptolysin O. Our explorations indicate that both regular Citation: Ayllon, M.; Abatchev, G.; Bogard, A.; Whiting, R.; Hobdey, S.E.; and long-circulating liposomes are capable of similarly preventing lysis induced by streptolysin O.

  • Studies on the Oxidation and Reduction of Immunological Substances
    STUDIES ON THE OXIDATION AND REDUCTION OF IMMUNOLOGICAL SUBSTANCES. VII. 'I'H~. DIFFERENTIATION OF TETANOL¥SIN AND TETANOSPASMIN. BY WILLIAM L. FLEMII~G. (From the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology of Vanderbilt University Medical School, Nashzglle.) (Received for publication, May 6, 1927.) INTRODUCTION. It is well known that the tetanus bacillus produces both a hemo- toxin and a true, killing toxin (" tetanolysin" and "tetanospasmin"). Historically, the existence of the true toxin was proved (1) about 10 years before recognition of the hemotoxin by Ehrlich in 1898 (2, 3). The properties of tetanospasmin are described in detail in the larger handbooks of immunology, and the literature on the properties of tetanolysin has been reviewed in a previous paper in this series (4). Both of these products of the tetanus bacillus belong to the group of antitoxinogens and possess two fundamental properties in common: (1) they are primarily toxic substances which possess an affinity for particular cells (tetanolysin for erythrocytes and tetanospasmin for nerve cells, especially those of the gray matter of the brain); (2) they are antigenic, invoking the production of a specific neutralizing antibody (antihemotoxin and antitoxin) when systematically injected into an appropriate animal. Tetanolysin and tetanospasmin have been used as representative "antitoxinogens" in classical experiments, the results of which have been used in the establishment of many of the fundamental principles of immunology. The theoretical importance of these principles, as well as the practical importance of tetanus itself, makes it desirable to obtain a definite differentiation of these two antigenic products of the tetanus bacillus. Although it is generally recognized that hhey are 279 280 OXIDATION AND REDUCTION.
