RESUMO

Despite prevention efforts, many cases of mushroom poisoning are reported around the world every year. Among the different toxins implicated in these poisonings, muscarine may induce parasympathetic neurological damage. Muscarine poisonings are poorly reported in the current literature, implying a lack of available data on muscarine concentrations in human matrices. A validated liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry detection (Orbitrap technology) method was developed to determine muscarine concentrations in human urine, plasma, and whole blood samples. Muscarine was determined using 100 µL of biological fluids, and precipitation was used for sample preparation. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed using an Accucore Phenyl-X analytical column with the electrospray source in positive ion mode. Muscarine was quantitated in parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) mode with D9-muscarine as the internal standard. The method was validated successfully over the concentration range 0.1-100 µg/L for plasma and whole blood and 1-100 µg/L for urine, with acceptable precision and accuracy (<13.5%), including the lower limit of quantification. Ten real cases of suspected muscarine poisoning were successfully confirmed with this validated method. Muscarine concentrations in these cases ranged from 0.12 to 14 µg/L in whole blood,

RESUMO

Mushroom poisoning is a serious food safety issue in China. However, there is insufficient information on many poisoning incidents, including mushroom species and their clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatments and toxins. Detailed epidemiological investigation was conducted after the occurrence of a mushroom poisoning incident resulting in typical muscarinic syndrome in Ningxia, China. The suspected mushroom species was identified based on morphological and phylogenetic analyses. Muscarine was detected using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). On September 2, 2019, two patients exhibited typical muscarinic syndrome after consuming wild mushrooms. The clinical manifestations included chills, sweating, salivation and diarrhoea; the incubation period was approximately 2 h. Treatments, including anti-inflammatory, detoxification and nutritional support, were remedial. Full recovery ensued within 24 h. The specimen was identified as Inocybe serotina, and its muscarine content was 324.0 ± 62.4 mg/kg (k = 2, p = 95%). Two patients were poisoned via stimulation of their parasympathetic nervous system due to mistaken consumption of muscarine-containing I. serotina. They fully recovered with supportive treatments. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of I. serotina poisoning worldwide and is the first record of this species in China. Further, a method for muscarine detection was established using UPLC-MS/MS.

RESUMO

The CE-ESI-MS/MS method for the identification, separation and determination of mushroom toxins, namely ibotenic acid, muscimol and muscarine, was developed. It proved to be sensitive and thus useful for the real sample analysis with omitting the labor and time consuming pretreatment step. The CE-ESI-MS/MS method was applied on the spiked human urine. The analytical characteristics of the proposed method, such as limits of detection, linearity and repeatability of the peak area and the migration time, were evaluated. The RSD of the migration time and peak area were from 0.93% to 1.60% and from 2.96% to 3.42%, respectively. The obtained LOD values were at the nanomolar concentration level, therefore the developed method is sufficient for the determination and quantification of studied toxins in human urine after mushroom intoxication.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Many species of the genus Inocybe (family Cortinariaceae, higher Basidiomycetes) are muscarine-containing mycorrhizal mushrooms, ubiquitous around the world. The few published reports on the poisonous Inocybe mushrooms are often limited by the inadequate identification of the species. The clinical course of patients with typical muscarinic manifestations, in whom Inocybe spp. was unequivocally identified, is reported. CASE SERIES: Between November 2006 and January 2008 14 consecutive patients with typical muscarinic syndrome after mushroom ingestion were recorded. The clinical manifestations included combinations of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, diaphoresis, tachycardia, bradycardia, hypotension, lacrimation, blurred vision, miosis, tremor, restlessness, flushing, and syncope. Time to onset of toxicity ranged between 15 min and 2 h after consumption, 5 h in one patient. Treatment was supportive, including intravenous fluids, antiemetics, and 1 mg atropine intravenously. Full recovery ensued within 12 h. In all the cases, an expert mycologist unequivocally identified the leftovers of the consumed mushrooms as Inocybe fastigiata, Inocybe geophylla, and Inocybe patouillardii. CONCLUSION: In this case series of patients who ingested identified muscarine-containing mushrooms supportive treatment and atropine resulted in recovery in all cases.

RESUMO

This article examines the role of innervation in regulating expression of acetylcholinesterase (AchE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuchE), and the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR) in avian heart. Two distinct approaches are taken. The first approach examines the relation between the onsets of parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation and the appearance of AchE and BuchE. All molecular forms of AchE and BuchE are present in early embryonic chick heart well before the onset of parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation. These molecular forms are characterized by sedimentation coefficients of 4.5S, 11S, 15S, and 19S. With further development, the amounts of AchE fall; the reductions in AchE parallel the onset of functional parasympathetic innervation. The amounts of BuchE increase progressively throughout embryonic development, independent of autonomic innervation, and in mature chick heart predominate over the much less abundant amounts of AchE. The 15S and 19S forms of AchE in heart are lost during early embryogenesis but reappear in skeletal muscle during later embryogenesis. The second approach examines the influence of vagotomy and sympathetic denervation of 8-day-old chick myocardium on expression of the molecular forms of AchE, BuchE, mAchR, and beta-adrenergic receptors. The amounts of AchE and BuchE molecular forms in avian heart are not measurably influenced by bilateral vagotomy for a duration of 4 days, unilateral vagotomy for a duration of 25 days, or sympathetic denervation. A measurable upregulation is observed in muscarinic receptors (35-46%) after vagotomy but not sympathectomy and in beta-adrenergic receptors (29%) after sympathectomy but not vagotomy. In all cases, results in atria and ventricles are nearly identical. The present results indicate that expression of AchE in the myocardium is unique and different from that in skeletal muscle and not directly linked with autonomic innervation.
