Objective: To study the correlation factors of acute paraquat intoxication prognosis.
Methods: The early paraquat concentration in plasma and urine, leukocyte count, hepatic and renal function, amylase, electrolyte and the parameters of arterial blood gas were analyzed retrospectively in 111 patients with acute paraquat intoxication.
Results: 43 cases (38.7%) of all the 111 patients survived and the other 68 cases (61.3%) died. The patient, whose paraquat concentration was not more than 8.0 µg/ml in plasma and 276.0 µg/ml in urine, could survive. But some patients could die, only if there was no paraquat found in plasma. The paraquat levels in plasma and urine were significantly lower in survivors [(0.82 ± 1.70), (28.12 ± 51.17) µg/ml] than in nonsurvivors [(9.32 ± 12.04), (384.53 ± 597.93) µg/ml, respectively] (P < 0.01). The levels of leukocyte count, serum creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and amylase were significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In addition, metabolic acidosis was easier to appear in nonsurvivors. The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the paraquat concentration in plasma and urine, leukocyte count, creatinine and base excess were all related to survival.
Conclusion: The higher paraquat concentration in plasma and urine, leucocytosis, renal dysfunction and metabolic acidosis are all important factors for the prognosis of paraquat intoxication.

Unreasonable or illegal utilization of pesticides may lead to pollution of agricultural products, especially with some persistent but effective pesticides. Hence, there is an urgent need to develop sensitive and rapid methods for pesticide detection to ensure the safety of agricultural products. Herein, a dual-mode ratiometric sensing system utilizing two gold nanoclusters (G/R-AuNCs) was designed and constructed for paraquat (PQ) detection, a typical, highly toxic, widely used pesticide.

2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bipiridinium chloride (paraquat) are among the most widely used herbicides and are known to be toxic. Fabrication of green adsorbents which are capable of removing both herbicides remains a challenge. Here, we fabricate a novel adsorbent from tropical waste wood and use a facile, chitosan-mediated N-heteroatom functionalization technique to augment surface nitrogen and improve specific surface area.

Introduction: Weeds seriously affect crop yield in global agricultural production. Paraquat (PQ), as one of low cost and highly effective herbicide, is forbidden or severely restricted in production and sales owing to its lethal toxicity to humans. Creating an efficient and bio-friendly PQ formulation is crucial to facilitate the open use of PQ in world's agriculture.

The herbicide Paraquat, widely used for efficient weed control, poses significant health risks to humans viz., severe toxicity to vital organs and induction of neurodegenerative disorder like Parkinson's disease, underscoring the urgent need for developing sensitive detection methods for the herbicide. This study aims at fabricating a novel SERS-active substrate SA-LB/Ag (silver nano-colloids adsorbed on Langmuir-Blodgett film of stearic acid), as a SERS based sensor having high sensitivity, uniformity, and reproducibility to detect ultra-trace amounts of paraquat.

In multicellular organisms, the indole melatonin synthesized by aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANATI) serves as an antioxidant. To test this, sex-mixed 3-day-old mated fly adults bw and AANAT1 homozygous recessive loss-of-function mutant (bw AANAT1) of Drosophila melanogaster were fed by a standard diet or by one containing paraquat (PQ, 1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridilium dichloride hydrate) at a final concentration of 15.5 mM.
