AI Article Synopsis
- Acute ammonia-induced intoxication is a serious condition that causes respiratory issues like ARDS due to lung damage and immune system dysfunction.
- The paper discusses a successful treatment case using ECMO and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in a patient with severe ammonia poisoning.
- It aims to highlight the clinical signs of ammonia toxicity and the potential of ECMO and other critical technologies in improving patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
Acute ammonia-induced intoxication is a kind of acute irritant gas poisoning, which mainly causes systemic inflammatory reaction and immune dysfunction through direct and indirect lung injury, leading to chemogenic pulmonary edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The mechanism of its toxic injury is complex, and the fatality rate of patients increases significantly once ARDS occurs. In this paper, the patient with acute and severe ammonia-induced intoxication was successfully treated by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy and other critical technologies, and achieved good results. By analyzing the diagnosis and treatment process of severe ammonia-induced intoxication complicated with ARDS patients, this paper summarizes the clinical characteristics of ammonia-induced intoxication injury, and the application opportunities of ECMO and various critical medical technologies, so as to facilitate the efficient intervention and treatment of ammonia-induced intoxication according to the clinical opportunity and improve the survival rate of patients.

Exploring the Multimodal Role of Extract in Protection against Chronic Ammonia Exposure Targeting: Growth, Metabolic, Stress and Inflammatory Responses in Nile Tilapia ( L.).

Ammonia is a critical hazardous nitrogen metabolic product in aquaculture. Despite trials for its control, ammonia intoxication remains one of the most critical issues to overcome. In this study, we explored the modulatory effect and potential mechanism by which extract (YSE) can ameliorate ammonia intoxication-induced adverse effects on tilapia health and metabolism.

Background: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a severe neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by various types of liver failure resulting in hyperammonemia-induced dysfunction of astrocytes. It is unclear whether autophagy, an important pro-survival pathway, is altered in the brains of ammonia-intoxicated animals as well as in HE patients.
Methods: Using primary rat astrocytes, a co-culture model of primary mouse astrocytes and neurons, an in vivo rat HE model, and post mortem brain samples of liver cirrhosis patients with HE we analyzed whether and how hyperammonemia modulates autophagy.
Assessment of inhaled acute ammonia-induced lung injury in rats.

This study examined acute toxicity and lung injury following inhalation exposure to ammonia. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-350 g) were exposed to 9000, 20,000, 23,000, 26,000, 30,000 or 35,000 ppm of ammonia for 20 min in a custom head-out exposure system. The exposure atmosphere, which attained steady state within 3 min for all ammonia concentrations, was monitored and verified using a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) gas analyzer.

Unlabelled: Astrocytes play an important role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and ammonia toxicity, whereas little is known about microglia and neuroinflammation under these conditions. We therefore studied the effects of ammonia on rat microglia in vitro and in vivo and analyzed markers of neuroinflammation in post mortem brain tissue from patients with cirrhosis with and without HE and non-cirrhotic controls. In cultured rat microglia, ammonia stimulated cell migration and induced oxidative stress and an up-regulation of the microglial activation marker ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 (Iba-1).
