17
Q

Mechanism organophosphates

A

Inhibit acetylcholinesterase by binding to enzymes –> overabundance of acetylcholin at neuroreceptor –> stimulate ANS, CNS and smooth muscles.
Contain sulphur - more toxic

18
Q

Symptoms organophosphate poisoning

A

Salivation, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, seizures

19
Q

Therapy organophosphate

A

Atropin

20
Q

CHTA organophosphates

A

TLC and GC

21
Q

Ethiology of MCPA

A

herbicides and algicides

22
Q

Mechanism of MCPA

A

Inhibit ribonuclease synthesis
Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation
Demyelinisation of peripheral nerves

23
Q

Symptoms MCPA

A

Fatigue, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, anorexia, tremor, ataxia, increased body temperature, hyperventilation, hypoxemia, stiffness in hindlimb muscles - paralysis, coma

24
Q

CHTA of MCPA

A

Yellow stain on blue background with BTB
Dark stain under UV light with AgNO3

25
Q

Therapy of MCPA

A

Symptomatic and supportive

26
Q

Describe screening method for detection of Aspergillus flavis in cereals

A

One layer of grains onto 15x15 cm frame
Observe in dark room under UV light
Green fluorescens - count the green grains

0-1 = negative
2-3 = feed can still be used
4+ = need further analysis for quantitative determination of aflatoxins –>
extract by chloroform, methanol or acetone. Pipette standard and sample onto chromatographic plate and observe under UV light after dissolvent has reached the top.

27
Q

Ethiology of atropine

A

Natural alkaloid in solanaceous plants. Parasympathetic compound that penetrate the blood-brain barrier.

28
Q

Mechanism of atropine

A

Prevents binding of acetylcholine to its receptors:
* spasmolytic effect on smooth muscles
* depressant effect on secretion from glands

29
Q

Symptoms of atropine intoxication

A

Facial flushing
Dry mucus membranes
pupils unreactive to light
tachycardia
hypertension
disorientation
delirium
In high doses: hyperthermia, hallucination, fatigue, coma

30
Q

CHTA of atropine

A

TLC - orange/brown colour

31
Q

Therapy of atropine poisoning

A

Symptomatic:
* Beta blockers and diazepam
In life-threatning situation: physostigmine
In per-oral ingestion: activated charcoal

32
Q

Therapy of lead poisoning

A
  1. BAL (dimercaprol) acts to chelate lead both intracellularly and extracellularly. 2 BAL + lead –> complex secreted in urine
  2. CaEDTA - forms stable, non-soluble, non-toxic, non-ionic complex with lead ions. Removed lead from the extracellular compartment of soft tissues, CNS and RBC, excreted in urine.
33
Q

Mechanism of cyanide

A

Cyanide bind to iron Fe3+. Inhibit reoxidation of cytochrome oxidase - cellular hypoxia. Cyanide binds reversibly with cytochrome oxidase inhibiting the final step of oxidative phosphorylation - the transfer of electrons to oxygen.
Inhibit cellular respiration and formation of ATP.

34
Q

Ethiology of ethylene glycol intoxication

A

automobil and radiator antifreeze

35
Q

Mechanism of Zn3P2 poisoning

A

In acid environment of stomach or in contact with water, hydrogen phosphide (PH3) is released.

36
Q

Clinical symptoms of Zn3P2 poisoning

A

Apathy
Agitation
Rigidity
Black vomit and faeces
Vomitting
Staggered moving
Spasms
Death
Large stomach

37
Q

Therapy of urea poisoning

A

acetic acid, vinegar or hydrochloric acid

38
Q

Treatment of mercury poisoning

A

Use of chelating agents (BAL, CaEDTA)
Gastric lavage
Activated charcoal

39
Q

Treatment of cyanide poisoning

A
  1. Formation of methemoglobin by administration of nitrites - MtHb-CN
  2. Application of sodium thiosulfate - SCN- which is excreted in urine
40
Q

Mechanism of NaCl poisoning

A

Change in osmotic proportion and irritant effect on digestive system
