Raman spectra of Carbon Tetrachloride and Methanol solutions were measured. Spectral lines ν3,νcom(ν1+ν4) of Carbon Tetrachloride Vibrational Spectra were analyzed. The results showed that Fermi resonance coefficients depend on methanol concentration, besides to the existence of clear effect for the polarization of carbon on these coefficients. In addition, cases of splitting in the energy leve...

Accumulation of calcium in the mitochondria of rat liver parenchymal cells at 16 and 24 hours after poisoning with carbon tetrachloride is associated with an increase in amount of liver inorganic phosphate, the persistence of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase activity, and the formation of electron-opaque intramitochondrial masses in cells with increased calcium contents. These masses, whi...

INTRODUCTION The objective of the paper was the presentation of observations and conclusions based on the review of autopsy records collected at the Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical University of Białystok in the years 2004-2006. MATERIAL AND METHODS The criteria under evaluation included sex, age, alcohol level, carboxyhemoglobin concentration and site of poisoning. The COHb level wa...

Hepatic cells contain, besides well defined organelles--mitochondria, ergastoplasm, and Golgi appara tus-round or ovular structures which recall the "microbodies" described by Rhodin (1) in the brush border kidney cells of the mouse. This work aims to define these organelles, to s tudy their behavior under various experimental conditions and their relation to mitochondria. Ra t liver, either no...

The diagnosis of hyperlipaemia is made when the total serum lipids exceed 1 g./100 ml. (Holt, 1954). Hyperlipaemia may be associated with disorders of carbohydrate metabolism as in diabetes mellitus and von Gierke's disease; with liver damage due to hepatitis or poisoning with carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or phosphorus; with renal disease in 'nephrosis' and renal vein thrombosis; and with a...

It has been noted that steroid diabetes occurs more frequently in patients with liver disease and patients with blood disease than in those without such diseases during treatment of glucocorticoid (Yamagata and Goto, 1963). We have also reported that glucosuria during administration of glucocorticoids was often noted in patients with liver disease, especially in the acute stage of liver damage ...

It has been previously reported (1) that binding of small quantities of certain fatty acids to serum albumin causes a decrease of its azorubin-binding capacity (ABC). It was assumed then that the low ABC of serum albumin observed in clinical cases (2) or in experimental animals (3, 4) was produced by a firm binding, in vivo, of increased amounts of certain anions, possibly higher fatty acids. I...

The therapeutic history of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (dithiocarb) is briefly reviewed. Dithiocarb was discovered serendipitously in our laboratory 35 years ago for the specific treatment of nickel carbonyl poisoning. Since that time, the therapeutic efficacy of dithiocarb has been reported for many disorders, including: nickel, cadmium, thallium, copper, and mercury poisonings, experimental...
