Abstract BackgroundAcute severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (ASOPP) is a common severe emergency in developing countries. At present, the incidence of complications and mortality are still very high, and there are some difficulties in treatment. More and more studies have found that hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis can improve the prognosis of patients based on conventional emergency treatment, but there is a lack of evidence-based medical evidence. Our meta-analysis is mainly to clarify the efficacy of hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis on ASOPP.MethodsWe searched several databases. After formulating relevant inclusion and exclusion criteria, qualified studies were included and data were extracted. The outcome indicators were cure rate, efficacy, incidence of complications, time for cholinesterase level to return to normal, coma time, time of hospitalization and atropine dosage. Results were analyzed using risk ratios (RR), odds ratios (OR), weighted mean difference (WMD), standard mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidential interval (95% CI). The cochrane collaboration tool was used for the assessment of the risk of bias of every included studies. In terms of statistical methods, we used RevMan software (version 5.3) and Stata (version 14 and 16) for data analysis.ResultsWe included 35 RCTs, including 2650 participants. Compared with the emergency conventional treatment group, the use of hemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis to treat ASOPP patients based on conventional emergency treatment significantly increased the cure rate [RR=1.20, 95% CI (1.16, 1.25), p<0.00001], improved the efficacy [OR=2.76, 95% CI (2.07, 3.67), p=0.000], and reduced the incidence of complications [RR=0.26, 95% CI (0.20, 0.34), p<0.00001] and also reduced the patient's time for cholinesterase level to return to normal [WMD=-4.05, 95% CI (-4.40, -3.70), p<0.00001], coma time [SMD=-2.62, 95% CI (-3.08, -2.15), p<0.00001], time of hospitalization [WMD=-5.80, 95% CI (-6.57, -5.02), p<0.00001], and atropine dosage [WMD=-194.81, 95% CI (-223.55, -166.08), p<0.00001].ConclusionHemoperfusion combined with hemodialysis can apparently improve the prognosis of patients and has a good effect in the treatment of acute severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. In the future, more scientifically designed large-scale, high-quality, multi-center randomized controlled trials are needed to further illustrate the significance of this study.

Organophosphorus pesticides are one of the most commonly used pesticide classes in agriculture in the management of insect pests due to their high efficacy. The extensive use of organophosphorus pesticides can contaminate both the atmosphere and food, which may lead to health problems. In this study, the residue level of organophosphorus pesticides, and their health risk assessment was evaluated on country bean and bitter gourd. Out of forty analysed samples of the country bean, two samples contained multiple residues, seven samples contained single residue. On the other hand, out of forty samples of bitter gourd, one sample contained multiple residues and three samples contained single residue. Among the organophosphorus pesticides, diazinon was the most frequently detected organophosphorus pesticide in country bean and bitter gourd. The highest short-term risks or acute risk (aHI) was below 1.83%, and the highest long-term risk or chronic risk (HQs) was below 10.46% for the country bean and bitter gourd, respectively. Short- and long-term risk assessment results showed that the intake risks of country bean and bitter gourd were acceptable. The health hazard results showed that country bean and bitter gourd consumption in Cumilla, Bangladesh does not pose an acute or chronic risk to human health. However, a routine monitoring system must be established to control the contamination of vegetables with pesticides.

A man in his 50’s, under influence of alcohol, accidentally ingested a pesticide, and was referred for further management and admitted to our hospital. An empty can of Curacron® was found at the site in his farm where he took the alleged pesticide. This raised the suspicion of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning and he was managed at two medical centres before getting admitted to our hospital. His hospital course was complicated with multiorgan dysfunction, shock, respiratory failure and intermediate syndrome. On day five he developed secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) and had hematochezia on day six. Colonoscopy revealed multiple circumferential ulcerations in descending and sigmoid colon with luminal narrowing. Biopsy of colonic tissue showed evidence of intestinal Mucormycosis. The clinical presentation of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning in this patient was complicated with multiple issues and included sHLH, chemical gastroenteritis, hemorrhagic ulcers and intestinal zygomycosis. The organophosphorus pesticide ingested by the patient was a 50% emulsifiable concentrate of profenofos along with vegetable oil, soyabean oil and polyglycol ether alkyl aryl sulphate calcium salt 5.25% w/w as an emulsifier/spreading agent. The management of the patient is discussed. Due to the possibility of the emulsifier adhering to the gastrointestinal tract and causing mucosal injury, it is necessary to identify the drug composition and ingredients of the pesticide as soon as possible when managing organophosphorus poisoning.

The present study was aimed to detect and quantify major organophosphorus pesticide residues in cauliflower and cucumber collected from different retail markets of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. In this study, a total of 50 vegetable samples (30 samples of cauliflower and 20 samples of cucumber) were analyzed using Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) extraction technique and Gas Chromatography coupled with Flame Thermionic Detector (GC-FTD). Among the 30 analyzed samples of cauliflower, 5 samples (16.7% of the total number of samples) contained residues of chlorpyrifos, quinalphos, acephate and dimethoate, where 4 samples contained multiple pesticide residues. All the contaminated samples of cauliflower contained residues above the EU-MRL. On the other hand, among the 20 analyzed samples of cucumber, only 2 samples (10% of the total number of samples) contained residues of quinalphos and chlorpyrifos at a level being below the EU-MRL. This study reflects the overall scenario of pesticide residues remain in cauliflower and cucumber purchased from different local markets of Dhaka city, which will help the consumer to be aware of their health and safety. The findings derived from this study reveals the public health concern due to the potential of pesticide toxicity in vegetables for the consumers. Therefore, continuous monitoring on the use of pesticides in vegetables should be strengthened. Asian Australas. J. Food Saf. Secur. 2021, 5 (2), 63-70
