Neuroimaging Studies in Carbon Monoxide Intoxication

摘要: CO is a tasteless, odorless and colorless gas. The existence of endogenous in the human body arises from heme catabolism (Meredith Vale 1988; Ernst Zibrak 1998) oxidation organic molecules (Marilena 1997). Endogenous acts as neurotransmitter for long-term potentiation, consequently playing key role memory learning It also plays modulating inflammation, apoptosis, cell proliferation, mitochondrial biogenesis (Weaver 2009) vascular relaxation Exogenous sources intoxication include smoking, forest fires, pollutants, improper usage heaters or furnaces 2009; Kumar, Prakash et al. 2010). usually indicates exposure to exogenous considered one most common causes poisoning worldwide (Prockop Chichkova 2007; Weaver 2009), with 1000 deaths annually Britain 1988), 4000-6000 United States (Tibbles Perrotta 1994; 1998; 1999). In Asia, exact epidemiology remains unclear. Japan, Hong Kong Taiwan, etiology charcoal burning suicide (Lee, Chan 2002). by lethal form highly prevalent method among men aged 25-64 years age (Kamizato, Yoshitome contrast high rate drug women. Kong, risk factors are male living alone financial stress (Lee Leung 2009). was not before 1998, only 0.14 per 105 people year (Lin Lu 2008). With dissemination media internet, suicides dramatically increased 40-fold, reaching 5.38 2005
