Emerging analytical tools for the detection of the third gasotransmitter H<inf>2</inf>S, a comprehensive review
2021, Journal of Advanced ResearchCitation Excerpt :Gas chromatographic analysis of sulfides was initially carried out via its pentafluorobenzyl derivative detection using mass spectrometry [150]. This technique was applied to post mortem analysis in forensic studies for sulfide fatal toxicity [151] and to investigate blood sulfide as a marker of bowel fermentation processes [93]. Later on, sulfide analysis was achieved in the headspace for tissue homogenates [38] or post silylation in human sera [152].
Chemical aspects of hydrogen sulfide measurements in physiological samples
2014, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - General SubjectsCitation Excerpt :The product was extracted into organic solvents, followed by GC analysis of the organic phase. This technology was used to study blood sulfide concentrations after alkalization [102] and in forensic studies for sulfide poisoning post mortem [102,103]. Further development of the method allowed detection of protein bound persulfide moieties or polysulfides after reduction at pH 5, alkylation and extraction into hexane [104].
Fatal and non-fatal cases of lime sulfide exposure and pathogenetic mechanisms underlying pancreatic injury: Case reports with an animal experiment
2012, Journal of Forensic and Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Sulfide poisoning has hitherto been considered to occur mostly in industrial and various other situations associated with inhalation of hydrogen sulfide,1–6 but recently a marked increase has also been noted in the number of suicide cases associated with oral ingestion of sulfide-containing household products, notably detergents and bathing items, which are widely available in Japan.7
Toxicological analysis of 17 autopsy cases of hydrogen sulfide poisoning resulting from the inhalation of intentionally generated hydrogen sulfide gas
2011, Forensic Science InternationalCitation Excerpt :Aside from being a by-product of many industrial processes, this gas is naturally produced during the putrefaction of sulfur-containing organic substances. Although many cases of fatal hydrogen sulfide poisoning have been reported [1–21], in most of these cases, it resulted from accidents in sewer systems, excrement disposal institutions, chemical factories, volcanoes and hot-spring areas [1–11,15–21]. To our knowledge, there are few reports of fatal poisoning due to the inhalation of hydrogen sulfide gas that was intentionally generated [13,14].
