By synthesizing and analysing poisoning analyses from 1996 to 2000 at Hai Phong Viet Tiep Hospital found an increasing incidence of insecticide and raticide poisons. Incidence of insecticide and raticide was 21.18% in 1996, in which raticide rate was 5.08%, raticide rate was 20.11% in 2000, there were a noticeable rate of raticide poisons without knowing the origin of the raticide in chinese (called chinese raticide). The poisoning analyses played a considerable role in giving first aid for poisons in general and for insecticide and raticide poisons in particilar

Beta-fluoroethylacetate has been extensively used as the rodenticide in Korea. In some patients with acute poisoning, beta-fluoroethylacetate caused cerebellar dysfunction as a single and persistent neurologic sequela after a period of an acute neurological disorder which is characterized by mental deterioration, seizures, and respiratory failure. But there has been no report of pathological findings to explain neurological deficit. We tried to verify the histologic changes of the central nervous systems in beta-fluoroethylacetate poisoned rats. Silver staining(Gallyas) was used to evaluate the histology. In acute intoxication experiment with LD50(7mg/Kg), beta-fluoroethylacetate elicited acute onset of consciousness deterioration, generalized tonic-clonic seizures and large amplitude tremulous activity involving whole body with full recovery after 24 hours. There was no discernible pathologic change in CNS in acutely poisoned rats. However, when poisoned with sublethal dose(5mg/Kg) daily for five days, a moderate degree of nerve cell degeneration was found selectively in dentate nucleus, Purkinie cell layer, vestibulo-cochlear nucleus and striatum. This change was not seen in hippocampus, cerebral cortex or cerebellar cortex. These findings were well correlated with the previous reports of selective pathology in human 5-FU intoxication cases. Our preliminary results suggest that beta-fluoroethylacetate, a kind of cellular metabolism inhibitor may induce selective neuropathology mainly involving cerebellar output pathway in rats.

Naturenz, a mixture of plant oxydase, protease, natural anti-oxydants, aminoacids and vitamins has been used for treating dioxin exposed patients. This preparation can improve the patients status. An icrease of SH-group, of total hem content and of anilin hydroxylase acitivty in blood, a decreasing of urine urobilinogen was notified on patients after administration

There was no acute toxic on rabbit's bodies after ingested activated charcoal suspension (1g/kg and 1,2g/kg body weight). Circulating blood cells and the function of kidney and liver were not changed after 7 days ingested activated charcoals

From 1997 to 2000, 22 children aged 5-15 (11 boys, 11 girls) were admitted in emergency department of Pediatric Institute due to intoxincation of Moc dieu. Only 9/17 (52.9%) of subjects described exactly the toxic plant. The most significant clinical signs are vomit and fatigue (100%), jaundice (100%). Hemorrhage of various degree around the orbit (17/17) and the sclera, 15/17 cases of edema and aliogourine. This is a life threatening intoxication in mild and mode rate cases, the prognos is of treatment at the institute is good, only 1 death

The purpose of this paper is to call the attention of the medical profession to the ever-increasing industrial diseases in the Islands. A case of encephalopathia saturnina is here to reported, which, to the best of our knowledge, seems to be the first of its kind in the Philippines. The case comes from one of the printing establishments in Manila. The importance of a careful history especially in relation to occupational hazards is emphasizedFor those who have not had the occasion to read about lead poisoning, points such as lead absorption and excretion, symptoms, industries in the Islands where such a disease is liable to occur, its prevention and treatment, have been briefly touched. For a more thorough understanding of the subject, however, the reader is referred to the literature.(Summary)

The exact of Zingiber officinale Rosc (ZO) and ZO-Typhonium divaricatum Decne (TD) complex were used to evaluate its antiemetic effect and acute toxicity on young dogs and mice. The results showed that the extract of ZO in dose of 0.1 g/kg body weigh, ZO 0.1 g and TD 0.12 g complex/kg body weigh per oral route have antiemetic effect in comparison with control one. Both of raw and pure TD extracts have equal effect. ZO and TD have a quite low acute toxicity

The causes, symptomatology and suggested treatment of poisoning from the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides are briefly reviewed. The improper handling of these "economic poisons" is particularly emphasized in the causation of poisoning cases. Illustrative cases of acute, sub-acute and chronic intoxication from the chlorinated hydrocarbons are presentedIt is hoped that this paper will make the rural physicians conscious of intoxications among their farmer patients.
