Chemical burns occur frequently in western Zhejiang Province. This study documents the epidemiology of chemical burns in the region using burn data from a local specialized hospital. Results from this analysis will assist in the planning of prevention strategies for high-risk occupations and groups.A 10-year retrospective analysis was conducted for all patients with chemical burns admitted to the...
Rotifers are the most important live food organisms for use as starter food in aquaculture. The population growth and resting egg production dynamics of Brachionus calyciflorus sibling species BNA13 from lake Baixiang and BNB3 from lake Kongque, in Xishuangbanna city, Yunnan, China at four temperatures (16, 20, 24, and 28 °C) and four algal (Scenedesmus obliquus) densities (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 × 10...
Hydrofluoric acid (HF), a dangerous inorganic acid, can cause severe corrosive effects and systemic toxicity. HF enters the human body via where it contacts, such as skin and mucosa, alimentary and respiratory tracts, and ocular surfaces. In the recent years, the incidence of HF burn has tended to increase over time. The injury mechanism of HF is associated primarily with the massive absorption of...
Para-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB), a hazardous and toxic substance, is widely used as an intermediary in chemical industries. p-CNB can cause methaemoglobinaemia due to electron-withdrawing properties of the nitro and chlorine groups. We present a case of a 23-year-old man suffering from thermal burns and p-CNB poisoning. In this case, severe methaemoglobinaemia was caused by the absorption of p-CNB...
Objective This study was designed to evaluate the efficiency and safety of arterial infusions of calcium gluconate to treat hydrofluoric (HF) acid burns of the distal human limbs. Materials and Methods Eligible patients with HF burn limbs, collected from January 2008 to October 2011, were given the arterial infusion of calcium gluconate into the injured limbs. The measures of pain were conducted...
