Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2023;35(12):1233-1240
Phosgene is not only a dangerous asphyxiating chemical warfare agent, but also an important chemical raw material, which is widely used in chemical production. According to statistics, there are more than 1 000 phosgene production enterprises in China, with an annual production volume of more than 3 million tons and hundreds of thousands of employees. Therefore, once the leakage accident occurs during production, storage and transportation, it often causes a large number of casualties. In the past 20 years, phosgene poisoning accidents in China have occurred from time to time, and due to the weak irritation, high density, and high concentration of phosgene at the scene of the accident, it often results in acute high-concentration inhalation of the exposed, triggering acute lung injury (ALI), and is very likely to progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with a mortality rate up to 40%-50%. In view of the characteristics of sudden, mass, concealed, rapid and highly fatal phosgene, and the mechanism of its toxicity and pathogenicity is still not clear, there is no effective treatment and standardized guidance for the sudden group phosgene poisoning. In order to improve the efficiency of clinical treatment and reduce the mortality, this paper has summarized the pathophysiological mechanism of phosgene poisoning, clinical manifestations, on-site treatment, research progress, and innovative clinical therapies by combining the extensive basic research on phosgene over the years with the abundant experience in the on-site treatment of sudden mass phosgene poisoning. This consensus aims to provide guidance for the clinical rescue and treatment of patients with sudden mass phosgene poisoning, and to improve the level of treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of high-dose vitamin B6 on stress-induced liver cell death in rats with severe trauma and its possible mechanism.Methods:Thirty-two male SD rats were selected and divided into sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group, and trauma+B6 group by using a random number table, with 8 rats in each group. Rat models of severe trauma were established by inducing abdominal wall injury, bilateral femoral fractures, unilateral cranial injury, and withdrawal of 4 ml blood from the femoral artery. The sham surgery+B6 group and trauma+B6 group were treated with saline solution plus high-dose vitamin B6, while the sham surgery group and trauma group with infusion of saline solution only. At 36 hours after injury, rat liver tissues were collected for the following experiments: (1) the genes differentially expressed in the liver tissues of the rats of the trauma group and the trauma+B6 group were screened with next-generation sequencing, followed by an analysis of the possible involvement of cell death pathways; (2) validation was conducted to ascertain whether high-dose vitamin B6 could influence various cell death pathways in the liver cells in the sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group, and trauma+B6 group: apoptosis was confirmed through terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining; necroptosis was verified by mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) immunohistochemical staining; autophagy was examined via transmission electron microscopy; ferroptosis was confirmed by detecting oxidative malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, oxidized glutathione levels, Prussian blue staining with diaminobenzidine (DAB) enhancement, transmission electron microscopy, and immunohistochemical staining for acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4); (3) Biological information analyses [Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Enrichment analysis (GSEA)] were performed for biological processes and signaling pathways represented by liver tissue sequencing results of rats between the trauma group and the trauma+B6 group.Results:(1) In the liver tissues of rats, there were 344 significantly differentially expressed genes between the trauma group and trauma+B6 group, comprising 137 upregulated genes and 207 downregulated genes, of which 18 genes were associated with apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis. (2) No significant differences were found in TUNEL staining among the sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group or trauma+B6 group; MLKL protein expression levels in the liver tissues after trauma were improved, of which the trauma+B6 group was lower than that of the trauma group; Electron microscopy showed that autophagic activity in the liver cells were significantly increased after trauma, which was significantly lower of the trauma+B6 group than that of the trauma group; MDA levels in the rat liver tissues were (0.20±0.05)nmol/mg, (0.17±0.07)nmol/mg, (0.69±0.11)nmol/mg and (0.52±0.07)nmol/mg in the sham surgery group, sham surgery+B6 group, trauma group, and trauma+B6 group respectively ( P<0.01), with the trauma group having the highest MDA levels and trauma+B6 group having lower MDA levels than the trauma group; Oxidized glutathione levels in the liver tissues of the four groups were (11.75±2.09)μmol/g, (11.69±1.66)μmol/g, (19.75±3.40)μmol/g, and (14.51±1.46)μmol/g respectively ( P<0.01), with the trauma group having the highest levels and trauma+B6 group having lower levels than the trauma group; Significantly increased iron deposition was observed in the liver tissues after trauma, with lower iron deposition in trauma+B6 group than the trauma group; Electron microscopy revealed significantly lower mitochondrial membrane density in the trauma+B6 group compared to the trauma group. ACSL4 protein expression level was lower in the trauma+B6 group compared to the trauma group; (3) GO, KEGG and GSEA enrichment analyses suggested that high-dose vitamin B6 may enhance cholesterol synthesis metabolism in the liver cells and alleviate oxidative stress to reduce liver cell damage and restore normal liver cell function after trauma. Conclusions:High-dose vitamin B6 attenuates stress-induced liver injury in rats with severe trauma by inhibiting the progression of necroptosis, autophagy and ferroptosis. Its molecular mechanism may be associated with enhanced hepatic cholesterol synthesis metabolism and alleviation of oxidative stress in the liver cells.

Background Plateau environment may pose a serious impact on the physiological and psychological stress of people stationed on a plateau, especially for those engaged in military training and occupational activities. There is an urgent need to find drugs to prevent and treat injuries caused by high-altitude environment. Objective To analyze the current status, hotspots, and future trends of domestic and international research in the field of prevention and treatment of high-altitude disease (HAD) by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and provide references for scientific research. Methods Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for literature on TCM and HAD published from inception to 2022. Excel, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and RStudio softwares were used to conduct visual analysis on the number of publications, types of publications, journals, authors, research institutions, and keywords. Results A total of 501 publications were evaluated in the present study, including 443 Chinese publications and 58 English publications. The annual number of publications showed a rising trend. MA Huiping was the leading author in number of publications in Chinese (37 publications), and ZHANG Yi and MENG Xianli were the leading authors in the number of publications in English (both 8 publications), respectively. The institutions with the most publications in Chinese were The 940th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army and Lanzhou General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Region (both 32 publications), and the institution with the most publications in English was Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (8 publications), respectively. The Chinese and English journals with the largest number of publications were the Journal of High Altitude Medicine (39 publications) and the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (10 publications), respectively. The most highly cited Chinese and English literature included Effects of rhodiola on the free radical metabolism and serum creatine kinase after exercise at plateau (61 citations) and Anti-hypoxic activity at simulated high altitude was isolated in petroleum ether extract of Saussurea involucrate (68 citations) , respectively. The most frequent keywords in the Chinese and English literature were high altitude polycythemia and oxidative stress, respectively. The keyword time zone and emergence maps showed that the research hotspots in this field shifted from prevention and treatment of HAD to animal experiments, and then to mechanisms of action, in which oxidative stress, hypoxic injury, inflammation, and apoptosis were the main focuses. Conclusion The research of TCM against HAD is identified from early clinical observation to associations between clinical outcome variation and pharmacological mechanisms, and further to applying multi-omics techniques to explore the physical basis of TCM efficacy and mechanisms of action with focuses like TCM formula and single herb active ingredients, so as to elaborate potential scientific connotation of TCM against HAD.

OBJECTIVES:
To explore the effects of hypoxic and hypobaric conditions on blood gas and erythrocyte-related indicators in rats.
METHODS:
SD male rats were exposed to low-pressure hypoxic conditions simulating an altitude of 6500 m in a small or a large experimental cabin. Abdominal aortic blood samples were collected and blood gas indicators, red blood cells (RBCs) count, and hemoglobin (Hb) content were measured. The effects of exposure to different hypoxia times, different hypoxia modes, normal oxygen recovery after hypoxia, and re-hypoxia after hypoxia preconditioning on blood gas indicators, RBCs count and Hb content were investigated.
RESULTS:
The effect of blood gas indicators was correlated with the length of exposure time of hypoxia and the reoxygenation after leaving the cabin. Hypoxia caused acid-base imbalance and its severity was associated with the duration of hypoxia; hypoxia also led to an increase in RBCs count and Hb content, and the increase was also related to the time exposed to hypoxia. The effects of reoxygenation on acid-base imbalance in rats caged in a small animal cabin were more severe that those in a large experimental cabin. Acetazolamide alleviated the effects of reoxygenation after leaving the cabin. Different hypoxia modes and administration of acetazolamide had little effect on RBCs count and Hb content. Normal oxygen recovery can alleviate the reoxygenation and acid-base imbalance of hypoxic rats after leaving the cabin and improve the increase in red blood cell and hemoglobin content caused by hypoxia. The improvement of hypoxia preconditioning on post hypoxia reoxygenation is not significant, but it can alleviate the acid-base imbalance caused by hypoxia in rats and to some extent improve the increase in red blood cell and hemoglobin content caused by hypoxia.
CONCLUSIONS
Due to excessive ventilation and elevated RBCs count and Hb content after hypoxia reoxygenation, oxygen partial pressure and other oxygenation indicators in hypoxic rats are prone to become abnormal, while blood gas acid-base balance indicators are relatively stable, which are more suitable for evaluating the degree of hypoxia injury and related pharmacological effects in rats.
