RESUMO

Air pollutants are in the spotlight because the human body can easily be exposed to them. Among air pollutants, the particulate matter (PM) represents one of the most serious toxicants that can enter the human body through various exposure routes. PMs have various adverse effects and classified as severe carcinogen by International Agency for Research on Cancer. Their physical and chemical characteristics are distinguished by their size. In this review, we summarized the published information on the physicochemical characteristics and adverse effects of PMs on the skin, including carcinogenicity. Through comparisons of biological networks constructed from relationships discussed in the previous scientific publications, we show it is possible to predict skin cancers and other disorders from particle-size-specific signaling alterations of PM-responsive genes. Our review not only helps to grasp the biological association between ambient PMs and skin diseases including cancer, but also provides new approaches to interpret chemical-gene-disease associations regarding the adverse effects of these heterogeneous particles.

RESUMO

A 43-year-old woman with left facial pain caused by occipital neuralgia was scheduled for C2 ganglionotomy and adhesiolysis of left C2 root. General anesthesia, surgical procedure, and emergence have done uneventfully. However, she developed seizure after 5 minutes postoperatively in post-anesthesia recovery unit. She showed loss of consciousness and generalized muscular rigidity after shouting “I want to die”. Neurologic examination and neuroimaging revealed no neuronal damage. Her generalized muscular rigidity improved by her daughter's visit and worsened by mention about her husband, and disappeared after 40 minutes spontaneously.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Many studies have demonstrated that carbon dioxide has direct depressive effects on the myocardium and dilates the vascular bed. However, it leads to an increase in arterial blood pressure and cardiac output because of sympathetic stimulating effect. Extensive epidural block may impair the sympathetic innervation to the heart as well as to the adrenal gland. The present study was set up in order to investigate how an extensive epidural block would affect the hemodynamic response to sympathetic stimulation induced by hypercapnia. METHODS: Twenty patients were mechanically ventilated under general anesthesia after epidural catheter insertion on T6–T7 intervertebral space. Hypercapnia was obtained by CO2 breathing. PaCO2 (partial pressure of CO2, arterial) was adjusted to 30, 45, and 60 mm Hg with each concentration being maintained for 10 minutes. In each period, hemodynamic variables were monitored by pulmonary artery catheter. After returning to normocarbia for 15 minutes, 20 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine was injected epidurally and PaCO2 was adjusted in the same manner, and then, the hemodynamic variables of each period were checked. RESULTS: There were no changes in mean arterial pressure and heart rate by hypercapnia after combined epidural anesthesia compared with general anesthesia only. Hypercapnia increased cardiac output and cardiac index. Systemic vascular resistance was decreased significantly. Pulmonary artery pressure was increased but not significantly. The degrees of hemodynamic changes were similar between in general anesthesia alone and in combined epidural anesthesia. CONCLUSION: In spite of an extensive epidural block, hemodynamic changes induced by hypercarbnia were not changed. There are some ‘escaped’ sympathetic nerve fibers.
