Today in the world, along with mutagens, carcinogens, reprotoxicants, chemicals that affect the endocrine system are of serious concern. Therefore, the purpose of our research was the scientific substantiation of the national list of endocrine disruptors. Materials and methods. In order to create a national list of substances that have an effect on the endocrine system, for the selection of candidate substances, an analysis of legislation and lists of potential endocrine disruptors of the European Union, the USA, Canada, and India was made. All substances were identified by CAS numbers, areas of application and classified according to the degree of danger to the endocrine system. Results. The draft list of endocrine disruptors circulating in the Russian Federation includes 494 chemicals used in medicine, agriculture, chemical, food, perfume and cosmetic industries. There are 19 substances in class 1A (known endocrine disruptor), 193 substances in class 1B (probable endocrine disruptor), 250 substances in class 2 (suspected endocrine disruptors), and 32 substances in class 3 (endocrine disruptors). Conclusion. On the territory of the Russian Federation in various areas of the economy, chemicals that destroy the endocrine system are widely used. Of particular concern is the use of endocrine disruptors of hazard class 1B in perfumery, cosmetics and food products.","PeriodicalId":23128,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89588141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The active development of agriculture with the widespread use of nitrogen-containing fertilizers, increased consumption of processed meat products containing sodium nitrite as a preservative, inevitably leads to an increase in the nitrogen load on the human body and can cause the development of cardiovascular diseases. Materials and methods. The cardiotoxic effect of sodium nitrite was evaluated on a model of an isolated rat heart with subchronic intragastric administration for 28 days at doses of 0.03; 0.3; 3.0 mg/kg. Results. The use of sodium nitrite leads to dilation of the coronary vessels and myocardium, inhibition of the contractile activity of the heart, disruption of its electrical activity in the form of a shortening of the QT interval associated with an increased risk of ventricular fibrillation, and a tendency to increase the amplitude of the T wave, which indicates myocardial ischemia. In a stress test with total ischemia, it was revealed that the magnitude of the change in the parameters characterizing the restoration of myocardial function under reperfusion conditions is inversely proportional to the dose of sodium nitrite used. Limitations. The study was performed only on male white rats more prone to the development of cardiovascular pathology. Conclusion. With subchronic administration, sodium nitrite has cardiotoxicity at a dose of 0.028 mg/kg, which is twice lower than the WHO-established permissible daily intake for humans (0.06 mg/kg).","PeriodicalId":23128,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81987623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The toxic effect of amanitin-containing macromycetes, or phalloidin syndrome, is accompanied by low patient survival and it remains as one of the leading causes of urgent liver transplantation. As a result, the problems of biodiversity and the distribution of amanitin-containing fungi leading to this condition appear in a relevant light for toxicology. Materials and methods. The study was carried out in two stages. At the first stage, a preliminary list of amanitin-containing macromycetes was compiled by means of a system search in the PubMed database. At the second stage of the study, the presence and occurrence of amanitin-containing taxa in Russia were analyzed. Results. Based on the literature sources and data of the Laboratory of Geography and Systematics of Fungi of the Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, maps of the administrative-territorial occurrences in Russia of twenty-one species of amanitin-containing macromycetes were compiled: five of Amanita, one of Galerina and fifteen of Lepiota. The species concepts of some poisonous taxa and their key identification features were reviewed. The debatable ideas about the toxicity of two Conocybe species are highlighted. Limitations. The study takes into account only the specific occurrence of poisonous fungi in various territories of Russia, without considering the density and frequency of their growth, which may make it difficult to assess the relationship between the data presented and the likelihood of poisoning by the species in question in individual administrative units. Conclusion. As a result of the study, the boundaries of the distribution of poisonous fly agaric and Galerina species were identified, as well as the territories with the highest registered diversity of Lepiota: the Moscow Region and the Primorsky Territory.","PeriodicalId":23128,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Review","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88755744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the effect of the rutile form of titanium dioxide upon its oral administration on the morphological and functional state of the organs of the immune system of rats. Materials and methods. In this work, using classical morphological approaches and specific markers: proliferation - Ki-67, PCNA, apoptosis - protein p53 and macrophages - CD68, which make it possible to adequately identify not only the cells themselves, but also their functional state, a study of the spleen and thymus of rats after oral administration (10 mg/kg animal body weight, 28 days) of a nanodispersed form of TiO2 (rutile form, 40-60 nm) obtained by diluting TiO2 powder in distilled water was carried out. Aggregation of nanoparticles was prevented by treatment of a suspension of nanodispersed TiO2 in an ultrasonic bath. Rats of the control group were orally administered with distilled water in the same volume. Results. With oral administration of the rutile form of nanodispersed TiO2, a moderate accidental involution of the thymus is observed, a reduction in the white pulp of the spleen, due to a decrease in the proliferative potential and an increase in apoptosis. The revealed morphofunctional changes in lymphoid organs can be interpreted from the standpoint of induced secondary immunodeficiency that develops against the background of exposure to rutile TiO2 NPs. Limitations. When studying the effect of titanium dioxide (rutile, 40-60 nm, 10 mg/kg of animal body weight) on the morphological characteristics of the immune defense organs, the sample size was 12 Wistar rats, the maximum duration of exposure was 28 days. Conclusion. The detected morphofunctional changes in the lymphoid organs can be interpreted from the position of induced secondary immunodeficiency, developing against the background of exposure to NPS TiO2 of the rutile modification.","PeriodicalId":23128,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Review","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73872443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study is to determine prognostically significant criteria for the reversibility of the suppression of the generation of bioelectrical activity using an experimental model of alcoholic coma. Materials and methods. The work was performed on 27 nonlinear sexually mature rats weighing 340±40 g, which received a 40% solution of ethyl alcohol by the oral route in fractional doses of 12.6 g/kg, which corresponded to LD50. EEG monitoring was performed until there was a definite effect (from 1 to 54 hours). Results. In a favorable outcome of alcoholic coma (11 rats), the EEG results contained the following phase states: 1) a pattern of continuous activity with registration of flashes with intense modulation amplitudes (modulation coefficient 10-12, index 25-35%); 2) a pattern of discrete activity (signal suppression index does not exceed 10%), which was recorded only in the toxicogenic phase; 3) a pattern of awakening. In the lethal outcome of cerebral insufficiency (16 rats), there were the following states of bioelectric activity: 1) weakly modulated continuous activity (modulation coefficient is less than 5); 2) fragmented activity (suppression index is 20-50%); 3) “flash-suppression” pattern; 4) a pattern of periodic discharges; 5) isoelectric silence. The terminal phase of cerebral insufficiency was characterized by the presence of high-amplitude waves with a frequency of 1-1.5 Hz, alternating with 3-4 oscillations decreasing in amplitude. Conclusion. In a case of acute poisoning with ethanol at a dose of LD50, the prognostically favorable EEG sign is the amplitude modulation of continuous activity, which reflects the preservation of synchronizing thalamocortical interactions. In the toxicogenic phase of the poisoning, a pattern of discrete activity can be recorded (modulation index is up to 10%), which reflects the suppressive effect of ethanol rather than the decay of the bioelectrogenesis mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":23128,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Review","volume":"256 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91529677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amiksin (tiloron) is a low molecular weight inducer of interferon, antiviral and immunomodulatory agent, used for the treatment and prevention of viral diseases, shown the effectiveness of including amixin in the complex therapy of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) mild and moderate severity. Materials and methods. Experimental studies to determine the parameters of amixin toxicometry were carried out using mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. The substance was administered into the stomach, intraperitoneally, into the conjunctival sac of the eye, on the skin, intradermal and inhalation. Results. It is shown that amixin belongs to the 3rd hazard class (moderately hazardous substances) when injected into the stomach according to GOST 12.1.007-76: DL50 for male mice - 500 mg/kg, for female mice - 760 mg/kg; low toxicity when injected into the abdominal cavity, DL50 for male mice - 150 mg/kg. Amiksin has a weak irritant effect on the mucous membranes of the eyes, does not irritate the skin, has a skin-resorptive effect and functional cumulative activity. The threshold for acute inhalation exposure to amixin is set at 16,2 mg/m3 according to the effect on the functional state of the liver and kidneys. Limitations. When developing and substantiating the hygienic standards for amixin in the air, various ways of the substance entering the body of several animal species in representative groups were studied. Conclusion. For amixin aerosol, hygienic standards have been approved - 0,4 mg/m3 in the air of the working area and 0,01 mg/m3 in the atmospheric air.","PeriodicalId":23128,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Review","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89334244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
