| Abstract | Anticholinesterase poisoning is an important health problem in our country, and a complete understanding of its underlying mechanisms is essential for the emergency physician. Thus, we aimed to investigate the cardiac biochemical parameters and mortality in dichlorvos-induced poisoning in rats. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups as control (corn oil), dichlorvos, atropine, pralidoxime, and atropine+pralidoxime groups. Immunohistochemical analyses of apoptosis and inducible nitric oxide synthase showed no change in cardiac tissue for all of the groups. Serum cholinesterase levels were suppressed with dichlorvos, and these reductions were inhibited with atropine and/or pralidoxime pretreatment. Serum levels of creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, cardiac troponin I, myoglobin, and N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide were not affected with poisoning. Malondialdehyde and glutathione levels were not statistically significant between the groups. Although serum nitric oxide levels in the dichlorvos group were lower than those in the control group, cardiac nitric oxide levels in the atropine+pralidoxime group were markedly higher than those in the dichlorvos group. Atropine, pralidoxime, and atropine+pralidoxime pretreatments markedly reduced the mortality. In conclusion, our results implied that measured cardiac markers especially N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide may not contribute to the early (first 6 hours) diagnosis of cardiotoxicity in dichlorvos-induced poisoning in rats. These results also showed that acute dichlorvos administration did not cause significant cardiac damage, and oxidative stress does not play a marked role in dichlorvos-induced poisoning. Besides, cardiac nitric oxide may produce protective effect on myocardium with atropine+pralidoxime therapy in rats. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
