Organic mercurial encephalopathy.

چکیده
Poisoning with organic mercury is uncommon (Cumings, 1959) and there have been few detailed pathological studies (Hunter and Russell, 1954; Brown, 1954). With the increasing use of insecticides and fungicides containing organic mercury more cases may be encountered. There has also been described from Japan another type of organic mercurial poisoning (Kurland, Faro, and Siedler, 1960); the occurrence of mercurial poisoning in Iraq has also been described (Jalili and Abbasi, 1961). This paper details a case occurring in England.

INHIBITION OF ENZYMES BY PHENYLMERCURY COMPOUNDS* BY SISTER MARIE AUGUSTINE SMALT,t CORNELIUS W. KREKE,
Cytochrome oxidase and catalase are not regarded as sulfhydryldependent enzymes (1). The inhibition of the former by organic mercurial compounds (2) has been thought to involve denaturation (3) rather than interaction with sulfhydryl groups, and it has been suggested that the mercurial inhibition of catalase is also non-specific (4). Because the protein molecule contains reactive groups other t...
متن کاملMechanisms Contributing to Unresponsiveness to Mercurial
The ultimate failure of edematous cardiac patients to respond to mercurial diuretics is well established. Although the older literature ascribed this to renal tubular accommodation to mercury, some patients have received mercurials for many years without manifesting such acquired tubular resistance. More recently, because of the potentiation of mercurial diuresis in previously unresponsive pati...
متن کاملUrinary and fecal excretion of mercury in man following administration of mercurial diuretics.
The widespread use of mercurial diuretics has stimulated greater interest in the metabolism of organic mercurials in man. Recently proposed regimens (1) involving frequent, even daily, administration of mercurials, have focused particular attention on the 24 hour excretion of these compounds in relation to the cumulative toxicity of any mercury which may be retained. Moreover, little is known o...
متن کاملBactericidal and Fungicidal Action of Organic Mercurials
It has been stated recently (Hunter, 1943) that the ideal antiseptic should possess high germicidal and inhibitory properties over the widest possible range of the commoner pathogenic organisms, a low tissue toxicity, efficiency in the presence of organic matter, power to penetrate, stability, and moderate cost. In this country the commoner pathogenic organisms include a great number of mycotic...
متن کاملComparison of response of succinic dehydrogenase and succinoxidase system to organic mercurial and thiol compounds.
Our earlier observations (l), extended in the present report, had indicated that the aerobic succinoxidase system was more sensitive to phenyhnercuric nitrate than the anaerobic succinic dehydrogenase system. Slater in a preliminary communication (2) called attention to a similar difference in sensitivity to p-chloromercuribenzoic acid. In studies of protection against mercurial inhibition by t...
