  • Mitochondrial Dysfunction After Severe Tbi: a New Translational Target?
    -Edición provisional- MITOCHONDRIAL DYSFUNCTION AFTER SEVERE TBI: A NEW TRANSLATIONAL TARGET? Juan Sahuquillo, MD, PhD1, Marian Vidal-Jorge2, Angela Sánchez-Guerrero2 Department of Neurosurgery1, Neurotraumatology and Neurosurgery Research Unit2 Vall d’Hebron University Hospital Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain Significant advances in the treatment of TBI have been limited by a lack of knowledge of the biochemical, cellular and molecular changes involved in its pathophysiology. These obstacles have been overcome to a certain degree by new monitoring tools —cerebral microdialysis (MD) and monitoring of partial pressure of oxygen in the brain (PtiO2)— that have allowed clinicians to explore the metabolic disturbances of the injured brain with unprecedented detail. The data gathered by these monitoring tools in the past two decades has provided an opportunity to take a second look at the pathophysiology of TBI, motivating clinical researchers to redefine some of the unchallenged traditional concepts. The hypothesis that mitochondrial dysfunction is at the core of many acute metabolic disorders observed in acute TBI is one of the old concepts that deserves a second look and is the focus of this chapter. New neuromonitoring techniques, including PtiO2 and MD monitoring, are widely used in neurocritical care units, allowing for the quasi-continuous profiling of brain oxygen supply and brain metabolism [1, 2]. Data provided by these tools have cast doubt on the predominant role of ischemia in the pathophysiology of TBI. Many studies have found that the injured brain may experience severe alterations of energetic metabolism in the presence of CBF and oxygen supply well above the ischemic range[3-5].

  • Effects of Aqueous Extract of Kuding Leaves on Cyanide- Induced Toxicity and Packed Cell Volume (PCV)
    Article Number: 3518D12 A Paper Presented at the WANNPRES 9th Sub-Regional Scientific Meeting, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria. 30th May – 2nd June, 2018 Copyright ©2018 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article Conference Proceedings http://www.proceedings.academicjournals.org/ Full Length Research Paper Effects of aqueous extract of kuding leaves on cyanide- induced toxicity and packed cell volume (PCV) Obiajulu Christian Ezeigwe1*, Christopher Onyemeziri Alisa2 and Josephine Ezekwesili-Ofili1 1Department of Applied Biochemistry, Faculty of Biosciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. 2Department of Chemistry, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. Cyanide poisoning occurs when a living organism is exposed to a compound that produces cyanide ions (CN−) when dissolved in water. Kuding leaves are Chinese leaves used for weight control. Aqueous extract of kuding leaves was assessed for its effect on cyanide-induced toxicity and packed cell volume (PCV) in Wistar rats. Group A was administered 1% Tween-80 at 5 ml/kg. Group B was not induced but received 400 mg/kg body weight of the extract only, Group C received 3 mg/kg of cyanide without treatment, Group D received 200 mg/kg of the extract, Group E received 300 mg/kg of the extract, and Group F received 400 mg/kg of the extract. PCV was determined using automated haematology analyzer (Mindray-BC-28000). A significant reduction (p>0.05) in weight was observed for the group that received only 400 mg/kg body weight of the extract and the group that received only 3 mg/kg body weight of cyanide for two weeks when compared with the control group.

  • Cyanide-Induced Cytochrome A,A3 Oxidation-Reduction Responses in Rat Brain in Vivo
    Cyanide-induced cytochrome a,a3 oxidation-reduction responses in rat brain in vivo. C A Piantadosi, … , A L Sylvia, F F Jöbsis J Clin Invest. 1983;72(4):1224-1233. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI111078. Research Article The sensitivity of the brain to cyanide-induced histotoxic hypoxia and the protective effects of known cyanide antagonists, have been assessed in vivo by reflectance spectrophotometry. Cyanide-related changes in cytochrome a,a3 (cytochrome c oxidase) oxidation-reduction (redox) state, tissue hemoglobin saturation, and local blood volume were continuously monitored in cerebral cortex of rats. Noncumulative, dose-dependent inhibition of the in situ mitochondrial respiratory chain was evaluated directly by measuring increases in reduction levels of the terminal oxidase. These transient cytochrome a,a3 reductions were accompanied by increases in regional cerebral hemoglobin saturation and blood volume. Cytochrome redox responses were not altered either in magnitude or kinetics by hyperoxia; however, the cyanide-cytochrome dose-response curve was greatly shifted to the right by pretreatment with sodium nitrite, and the recovery rate of cytochrome a,a3 from cyanide-induced reduction was enhanced fourfold by pretreatment with sodium thiosulfate.

Hydrogen sulfide is a lipid-soluble gas produced in occupational settings and from decaying organic matter. We present a 36- year-old man who developed acute respiratory arrest from hydrogen sulfide poisoning while performing work as a dairy farmer. Case report. The subject entered a poorly ventilated tank containing degrading eggs and, within seconds, collapsed. Coworkers were able to extract him within minutes but he was apneic. He was intubated by emergency medical services and subsequently managed with supportive care in the intensive care unit. Upon admission, a powerful rotten egg scent was noted and a hydrogen sulfide poisoning was suspected. Serum analysis for the presence of thiosulfate confirmed the diagnosis. Nitrite therapy was not administered as the subject arrived outside of the therapeutic window of effectiveness and showed evidence of excellent oxygenation. His examinations following arrival were consistent with an anoxic brain injury which slowly improved several months after the incident with intensive neuro-rehabilitation.

  • Toxicological Profile for Cyanide
    CYANIDE 25 3. HEALTH EFFECTS 3.1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective on the toxicology of cyanide. It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health. A glossary and list of acronyms, abbreviations, and symbols can be found at the end of this profile. 3.2 DISCUSSION OF HEALTH EFFECTS BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE To help public health professionals and others address the needs of persons living or working near hazardous waste sites, the information in this section is organized first by route of exposure (inhalation, oral, and dermal) and then by health effect (death, systemic, immunological, neurological, reproductive, developmental, genotoxic, and carcinogenic effects). These data are discussed in terms of three exposure periods: acute (14 days or less), intermediate (15–364 days), and chronic (365 days or more). Levels of significant exposure for each route and duration are presented in tables and illustrated in figures. The points in the figures showing no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOAELs) or lowest- observed-adverse-effect levels (LOAELs) reflect the actual doses (levels of exposure) used in the studies. LOAELs have been classified into "less serious" or "serious" effects. "Serious" effects are those that evoke failure in a biological system and can lead to morbidity or mortality (e.g., acute respiratory distress or death). "Less serious" effects are those that are not expected to cause significant dysfunction or death, or those whose significance to the organism is not entirely clear.

  • Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Does Not Induce Hypothermia In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exogenous hydrogen sulfde gas does not induce hypothermia in normoxic mice Received: 20 April 2016 Sebastiaan D. Hemelrijk1, Marcel C. Dirkes1,2, Marit H. N. van Velzen3, Rick Bezemer2,4, Accepted: 7 February 2018 Thomas M. van Gulik1 & Michal Heger 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Hydrogen sulfde (H2S, 80 ppm) gas in an atmosphere of 17.5% oxygen reportedly induces suspended animation in mice; a state analogous to hibernation that entails hypothermia and hypometabolism. However, exogenous H2S in combination with 17.5% oxygen is able to induce hypoxia, which in itself is a trigger of hypometabolism/hypothermia. Using non-invasive thermographic imaging, we demonstrated that mice exposed to hypoxia (5% oxygen) reduce their body temperature to ambient temperature. In contrast, animals exposed to 80 ppm H2S under normoxic conditions did not exhibit a reduction in body temperature compared to normoxic controls. In conclusion, mice induce hypothermia in response to hypoxia but not H2S gas, which contradicts the reported fndings and putative contentions. Hibernation is a hypometabolic state characterized by a regulated decrease in core body temperature (Tb) (i.e., hypothermia) towards ambient temperature (Ta) and consequent reduction in oxygen (O2) consumption and 1 carbon dioxide (CO2) production. It is engaged by several mammalian species to protect the organism from (environmental) stressors such as extreme cold, hypoxia2,3, and starvation4,5 and ultimately death. Te regulated decrease in Tb, which is termed anapyrexia, encompasses the downmodulation of the ‘internal thermostat’ outside of the thermoneutral zone6–10. Te thermoneutral zone constitutes a temperature range in which heat production (from basal metabolism) is in equilibrium with heat loss to the environment.
