NAD+ in sulfur mustard toxicity

Toxicology Letters, 2020
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a toxicant and chemical warfare agent with strong vesicant properties. The mechanisms behind SM-induced toxicity are not fully understood and no antidote or effective therapy against SM exists. Both, the risk of SM release in asymmetric conflicts or terrorist attacks and the usage of SM-derived nitrogen mustards as cancer ...

Exposure to liquid sulfur mustard

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2001
Chemical weapons continue to pose a serious threat to humanity. With the use of chemical weapons by terrorists in Tokyo, and the projected disarming of the chemical weapon stockpile in this country, the possibility that emergency physicians will encounter patients contaminated by chemical munitions, such as sulfur mustard, exists.

Lung Carcinogenicity of Sulfur Mustard

Clinical Lung Cancer, 2010
Sulfur mustard (SM), a major potent chemical warfare agent, has been used for its acute toxic effects. Over time, unfortunately, many different long-term health effects of exposure to SM have been detected in humans. There are many available data from soldiers or civilians exposed to SM: testing programs, contaminated workers in factories who were ...

Sulfur mustard and respiratory diseases

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 2012
Victims exposed to sulfur mustard (HD) in World War I and Iran-Iraq war, and those suffered occupational or accidental exposure have endured discomfort in the respiratory system at early stages after exposure, and marked general physical deterioration at late stages due to pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiolitis obliterans or lung cancer. At molecule levels,

Agents of chemical warfare: Sulfur mustard

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992
Sulfur mustard is a chemical warfare agent of historical and current interest. Favored militarily because of its ability to incapacitate rather than its ability to kill, its use results in large numbers of casualties requiring prolonged, intensive care.

Modeling for immunosupression by sulfur mustard

International Immunopharmacology, 2001
The treatment and cure of patients exposed to sulfur mustard is a remaining challenge despite on-going research in this field. A severe suppression of the immune system still remains the major cause of opportunistic infections, septicemia and death in patients injured by sulfur mustard. In this report, we present a model of sulfur mustard contamination

Tracheobronchial Stenosis Following Sulfur Mustard Inhalation

Inhalation Toxicology, 2004
Sulfur mustard inhalation leads to different respiratory complications. In this article, we describe late stenotic effects of mustard gas inhalation on major airways. About 15 yr after exposure, suspect cases suffering from severe respiratory disorders underwent complete workup for central airway stenosis.

Sulfur Mustard-Induced Ocular Surface Disorders

The Ocular Surface, 2011
Sulfur mustard is a vesicant agent with severe irritating effects on living tissues, including skin, mucous membranes, eyes, and respiratory tract. The eyes are the most susceptible tissue to mustard gas effects, and varying degrees of ocular involvement are seen in 75% to 90% of exposed individuals. Most cases resolve uneventfully; however, a minority
