Abstract

Despite the numerous incidents of scorpion envenoming worldwide, little is known about the effects of maternal venom exposure and serotherapy on fetal development. The impact of antivenom on pregnant rats envenomed by Tityus serrulatus venom was examined. The venom caused alterations in the development of the offspring, yet the antivenom protected against these adverse effects and does not cause harm in itself, indicating the potential benefits of serotherapy.

孕期蝎子血清疗法可保护大鼠后代免受毒液的有害影响

尽管全世界发生了多起蝎子中毒事件，但人们对母体接触毒液和血清疗法对胎儿发育的影响知之甚少。本研究考察了抗蛇毒血清对被蛇毒蝎子（Tityus serrulatus）毒液毒害的怀孕大鼠的影响。毒液导致后代的发育发生改变，但抗蛇毒血清可防止这些不良影响，而且本身不会造成伤害，这表明血清疗法具有潜在的益处。

期刊介绍： Toxicon has an open access mirror Toxicon: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. An introductory offer Toxicon: X - full waiver of the Open Access fee. Toxicon''s "aims and scope" are to publish: -articles containing the results of original research on problems related to toxins derived from animals, plants and microorganisms -papers on novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological, and immunological properties of natural toxins -molecular biological studies of toxins and other genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins -clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained. -material on the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes and material on subjects related to venom and antivenom problems. -articles on the translational application of toxins, for example as drugs and insecticides -epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, so long as they highlight a previously unrecognised medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning. Retrospective surveys of hospital records, especially those lacking species identification, will not be considered for publication. Properly designed prospective community-based surveys are strongly encouraged. -articles describing well-known activities of venoms, such as antibacterial, anticancer, and analgesic activities of arachnid venoms, without any attempt to define the mechanism of action or purify the active component, will not be considered for publication in Toxicon. -review articles on problems related to toxinology. To encourage the exchange of ideas, sections of the journal may be devoted to Short Communications, Letters to the Editor and activities of the affiliated societies.
