Blood histamine levels in cotton-dust exposed workers in a textile mill of Ahmedabad

Blood histamine levels were measured by the bioassay of histamine (on an isolated strip of guinea pig ileum) in workers exposed to cotton dust in a textile mill in Ahmedabad. Byssinotic subjects showed very high levels of blood histamine as compared to nonbyssinotic and control subjects. The blood histamine levels were not well correlated to the dust concentrations or duration of exposure but rather to the day of the week (ie, first, second, third, etc., after weekend break) on which the samples were collected. The blood histamine levels were high on the first day of the work week, when byssinotics complained most of their symptoms.     

Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic study of recombinant human parathyroid hormone in healthy male Chinese subjects

AIM： To determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic parameters of a new drug recombinant human parathyroid hormone [ rhPTH （1-84）] in healthy male Chinese subjects. METHODS： domly divided Thirty-six healthy male volunteers were rangroups received into 3 groups. The volunteers in these single subcutaneous injection of rhPTH （ 1-84） in a dosage of 1, 2 and 4 μg/kg respectively. Blood samples were obtained before and after administration within 24 hours. The rhPTH concentrations in sennn were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The pharmacokinetic parameters determined with use of standard noncompartmental analysis were the maximum serum concentration （ Cmax ）, the time to attain that concentration （ tmax ）, and the area under the serum concentration-time curve up to 24 hours（ AUC0-24 ） and up to infinity （AUC0-∞）. Dose proportionality of pharmacokinetic parameters （AUC, Cmax of every volunteer of each dosage and A UC was computed from log transformed data） and was examined by mean of analysis of variance （ANOVA） using SPSS software package. In the study, subjects＇ symptoms, objective signs, and vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and body temperature, were checked and 12-lead electrocardiography was recorded before and after drug administration within 24 hours. Routine laboratory tests, including hematology, blood biochemistry, serum electrolyte, and urinalysis, were performed before and after drug administration within at 24 hours.[第一段]     

Acute urticaria and hepatitis complicating high-dose methotrexate therapy

We report an unusual case of anaphylaxis and hepatitic dysfunction in a child with the administration of the twenty-third course of high-dose methotrexate. The latter had been used as an adjuvant to prevent pulmonary metastases and the prior 22 courses had been well tolerated. An attempt to reinstate methotrexate after the twenty-third course was again followed by a similar reaction. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Variations in peroxisomal catalase of neonatal rat hepatocyte subpopulations

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is teratogenic and induces severe alterations in hepatocytes. In the hepatocyte peroxisomal system, ethanol is converted in the presence of H₂O₂ to acetaldehyde and water. Therefore, peroxisomal catalase also acts as an antioxidant defence mechanism by removing H₂O₂ and preventing the formation of hydroxyl radicals in the cell. Alterations in peroxisomal catalase after pre- and pre+postnatal alcohol exposure were investigated in the rat. The effect of pre- and postnatal exposure to ethanol on hepatocyte subpopulations was analysed in isolated hepatocytes originating from periportal, intermediate and perivenous zones. Analysis of catalase revealed that the total activity and content of this enzyme were higher in 12-day-old cells than in cells from newborns and that this increment was more pronounced in treated cells. In controls, the amount of peroxisomal catalase increased mainly in periportal cells, whereas alcohol exposure induced a significant increase in the catalase of perivenous hepatocytes. We conclude that pre- and postnatal alcohol exposure mainly affects the perivenous hepatocyte peroxisomes and that the increase in peroxisomal catalase could constitute a defence mechanism against free radical generation induced by alcohol exposure during the perinatal period.     

Carbon Monoxide Mass Exposure in a Pediatric Population

Abstract. Objectives:To describe the outcomes of a mass carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication, and to calculate the CO half-life in a pediatric school-aged population.
Methods:A retrospective chart review was performed based on Regional Poison Center database information, hospital laboratory data, and medical records of the pediatric patients who sought care at one of 3 St. Louis area hospitals, after exposure to high levels of CO. Exposures occurred on January 5, 1996, after evidence of a CO leak was discovered at an area elementary school. Charts were reviewed for major demographics, symptoms reported, carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels and times, and level of effect.
Results:Information about 177 (35%) of the 504 children in attendance at school that day was available. Mean age was 8.7 ± 1.8 years (range 4–12 years). Symptoms were present in 155 (88%) of the 177 children for whom data were available. Initial COHb levels were obtained for 147 (83.1%) of the 177 children. First mean COHb level was 7.0% (95% CI = 6.6–7.5%). Second COHb level was obtained for 26 children with a mean of 2.7% (95% CI = 2.2–3.2%). Calculated half-life of COHb, on 100% 0₂ at 1 atm, was 44.0 minutes (95% CI = 39.6–48.2 minutes).
Conclusion:Some children had symptoms at COHb levels that traditionally have been considered nontoxic. The elimination of COHb was found to be more rapid in this population of children than reported in other studies.

The use of experimental studies to reveal suspected neurotoxic chemicals as occupational hazards: acute and chronic exposures to organic solvents.

The nervous system differs from many other body organs by its central control of vital functions and its low regeneration capacity. Organic solvents have, as a group, been suspected to have neurotoxic effects. Because of their similar physical properties and the fact that in industrial uses, they are often present in various mixtures, organic solvents have also been regarded, unfortunately, to induce common neurotoxic effects. However, it is evident from experimental studies using specified exposure conditions that different organic solvents have very diverse neurotoxic effects and also that the toxic mechanism may differ between acute and chronic exposure. No specific method used to describe a neurotoxic effect or single toxic response can be used for the overall occupational risk assessment of all organic solvents. Each solvent has to be considered as having its own unique toxic effects.     

PM2.5混悬液染尘大鼠肺银染色的组织病理学观察

目的观察PM2.5混悬液染尘大鼠的肺组织病理学改变及银染色显示肺内尘粒的效果。方法将收集的游离PM2.5制成混悬液，72只Wistar大鼠随机分为低剂量组（每0．2ml含PM2.50．3nag）、中剂量组（每0．2ml含PM2.50．75mg）、高剂量组（每0．2ml含PM2.52mg）和对照组，每组18只。3个实验组分别以不同的剂量采用支气管肺内滴入方式染尘，每周染尘1次。分别于染尘后第4、12及24周时，取肺脏，石蜡包埋组织切片进行HE染色及沃森一斯塔理（Worthin-Starry，WS）银染色观察、透射电镜（TEM）观察，对肺内尘粒进行X-线质谱元素分析（X-RSA）。计数大鼠肺内肉芽肿样病变的数目，测定肺内尘粒的沉积程度、平均积分吸光度值（IOD）和平均积分面密度值（IAD）。结果随着染毒时间的延长和染毒剂量的增大，大鼠肺内肉芽肿样病变的数目及其细胞质内尘粒的IAD值和IOD值也逐渐增高。这些尘粒在WS染色切片上呈黑褐色，更清晰；其IOD值和IAD值均明显高于HE染色下的测定值，差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05）；尘粒IOD值与肉芽肿病变数目呈正相关关系（r=0．639，P〈0．01）。TEM下大鼠肺内尘粒的超微结构与游离的PM2.5相同，X-RSA分析两者的主要元素成分也相同，均为硅元素。结论PM2.5混悬液染尘可以引起大鼠肺内出现肉芽肿样病变，WS银染色方法可以较好地显示被吞噬细胞吞噬后的PM2.5，其染色效果优于HE染色。
