The Effect of Cadmium Pretreatment On the Disposition and Excretion of Methylmercury and Trace Elements (Zinc, Copper) in Rats

Toxicology and Industrial Health (1986)

Elizabeth Komsta-Szumska Donald R. Miller

Cadmium chloride (Cd) was injected s.c. into male rats at a dose rate of 3 mg Cd/kg 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The animals were maintained for administration of methylmercury (203 Hg) chloride at a dose of 3 mg CH3Hg/kg given p.o. 3 times a week for 2 weeks, followed by 3 weeks of recovery period. Animals were sacrificed 24 h after the final dose of MeHg, or 5 weeks after cessation of Cd administration. Cd-pretreatment significantly decreased total Hg concentration in the kidney and RBC and almost completely inhibited demethylation of MeHg in the kidney (from 32% to 3% of inorganic Hg). Cd-pretreatment did not affect urinary excretion of total Hg, but significantly increased daily excretion of total Hg in feces. MeHg given alone significantly increased renal but not hepatic copper levels and decreased copper in the plasma and brain. In Cd-pretreated rats, both renal and hepatic copper concentration were in the normal ranges. Zinc levels in Cd-pretreated rats significantly increased in the kidney, liver and brain but decreased in plasma (compared to control and MeHg-alone treated animals). From these results it can be concluded that Cd-pretreatment may decrease MeHg toxicity by increasing the fecal mercury excretion and by inhibiting the formation of inorganic mercury in the kidney, which is a more potent renal toxin than MeHg.

THE USE OF X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE SURFACE OF BIOMATERIALS

Journal of Macromolecular Science Part C- Polymer Reviews (1986)

Donald R. Miller Nikolaos A. Peppas

Abstract The interaction of a biomaterial with its environment occurs primarily at the material /biological fluid interface. The general properties of a material are normally determined by its bulk characteristics (tensile strength, heat capacity, etc.), but many interactions are specific to the surface region (wetting, adhesion, many catalytic reactions, blood compatibility, etc.).

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)

Annals of Surgery (1989)

Samuel E. Wilson Gene E. Robinson Russell A. Williams Bruce E. Stabile LAWRENCE CONE

Thirty-six major abdominal operations were performed on 35 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients (33 men, two women). Twenty-two elective operations were indicated for diagnosis of abdominal or retroperitoneal mass (6), incomplete bowel obstruction (5), intra-abdominal infection (4), biliary symptoms (3), thrombocytopenia (3), and toxic megacolon (1). Fourteen emergency operations were for perforated viscus or peritonitis (11), massive gastrointestinal bleeding (2), and cecal volvulus (1). In 5 of 22 (23%) elective operations AIDS was unknown to the treating physicians until diagnosed by the surgical pathology; in contrast, all 14 emergency operations were in patients who had a known diagnosis of AIDS. The operative findings were related to AIDS in 34 of 36 (94%) operations. Cytomegalovirus was the most common pathogen, isolated or identified microscopically in 11 patients (eight emergency and three elective operations). Mycobacterial infections presented as retroperitoneal adenopathy or splenic abscess in six patients. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma was the most common malignancy found, presenting as an abdominal mass (4), bowel obstruction (3), or with gastrointestinal bleeding (2). Kaposi's sarcoma was diagnosed at laparotomy in four patients. The 1-month operative mortality rate for elective operation was 9% (2 of 22) and 46% (6 of 13) in emergencies. Postoperative complications included 1 reoperation for sepsis caused by inadequately resected CMV colitis; 1 pancreatic fistula; 1 wound dehiscence, and 2 minor wound infections.
