Severe bongkrekic acid poisoning caused by eating spoiled Auricularia auricula: a case report.

Background: Bongkrekic acid is a rare mitochondrial toxin produced by the Burkholderia cocovenenans subsp. Bongkrekic acid poisoning has a case fatality rate of more than 50%, and progresses rapidly to multiple organ failure. However, limited clinical information is available regarding this phenomenon.

Case Report: Sudden death caused by methylene chloride poisoning.

Dichloromethane is widely used as an organic solvent in aerospace, electronics, and medicine. Cases of poisoning caused by this substance are rare. Recently, we successfully treated a patient with an acute dichloromethane poisoning.

Association between sleep and tinnitus in US adults: Data from the NHANES (2007-2012).

We evaluated the relationship between sleep factors and tinnitus risk using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2012), focusing on adults aged 20 to 80 years. Our analysis included 4354 participants, with sleep patterns categorized as healthy, intermediate, or poor. We observed that both short (odds ratio [OR]: 1.

Treatment of an accident of imidacloprid poisoning.

Accidental oral imidacloprid poisoning occurred in a family in Shandong, China, in May 2023. This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics of this imidacloprid poisoning event and investigated the detection of toxicants. Clinical data of four patients with oral imidacloprid poisoning were collected and retrospectively analyzed.

Fatal hyperpyrexia caused by xylazine: a case report.

Xylazine is used in veterinary medicine as a sedative, analgesic, and muscle relaxant. However, in recent decades, it has frequently been detected in illicit drugs. Xylazine poisoning is characterized by depression of the central nervous and cardiovascular systems.

The role of pyroptosis in heart failure and related traditional chinese medicine treatments.

Pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that is mediated by both typical and atypical pathways and ultimately leads to the lysis and rupture of cell membranes and the release of proinflammatory factors, triggering an intense inflammatory response. Heart failure (HF) is a serious and terminal stage of various heart diseases. Myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, ventricular remodeling, oxidative stress, the inflammatory response and cardiomyocyte ionic disorders caused by various cardiac diseases are all risk factors for and aggravate HF.

A mass event of paraquat poisoning via inhalation.

Objective: In January 2023, a rare event of collective inhalation paraquat poisoning occurred in Shandong, China. To analyze the clinical characteristics of an event of respiratory tract paraquat poisoning through inhalation.

Methods: Clinical data from eight patients with paraquat inhalation poisoning were retrospectively analyzed.

Case report: Analysis of a case of hydrogen sulfide poisoning in a waste treatment plant.

This paper summarizes and analyzes the clinical data of a patient with Occupational hydrogen sulfide poisoning admitted to our hospital on March 4, 2023. On the morning of March 2, 2023, the patient worked at an environmental energy company (waste treatment plant) in Shandong Province for the first time, The job was to flush the sludge from the walls of the sludge treatment tank (anaerobic tank) with a water gun, which can release hydrogen sulfide gas. When the patient was about to start work after entering the tank for about 1 min, he suddenly smelled a harsh and pungent odor, felt dizzy and weak, and then the patient suddenly fainted.

Case report: Occupational poisoning incident from a leak of chloroacetyl chloride in Jinan, Shandong, China.

Chloroacetyl chloride is a potent acylation agent that decomposes violently in water to produce chloroacetic acid and irritant hydrogen chloride. It and its decomposition products are corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system and can cause multiple organ failure. Herein, we report cases of poisoning by chloroacetyl chloride and its decomposition products in the skin and respiratory system.

Anthocyanin, a novel and user-friendly reporter for convenient, non-destructive, low cost, directly visual selection of transgenic hairy roots in the study of rhizobia-legume symbiosis.

Background: -mediated hairy root transformation provides a powerful tool for investigating the functions of plant genes involved in rhizobia-legume symbiosis. However, in the traditional identification methods of transgenic hairy roots based on reporter genes, an expensive chemical substrate or equipment is required.

Results: Here, we report a novel, low cost, and robust reporter for convenient, non-destructive, and directly visual selection of transgenic hairy roots by naked eye, which can be used in the study of rhizobia-legume symbiosis.

Transport and numerical simulation of Cu in saturated porous medium in the presence of magnetic nanoparticles.

FeO magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can control and remove heavy metal pollution from wastewater. This approach has gained broad attention due to its excellent surface properties. However, there have been limited studies for Cu retention and transfer regulation in saturated porous media in the presence of MNPs.
