[paxillus involutus poisoning].		1972	4643244
severe hemolysis caused by antibodies against the mushroom paxillus involutus and its therapy by plasma exchange.	it has been shown that fatal "poisoning" with the mushroom species paxillus involutus is caused by antibodies against the fungus in sensitized patients. because circulating immune complexes play an important role, therapeutic procedures which can eliminate those complexes could stop immune hemolysis. a 37-year-old patient became severely ill after repeated ingestion of sufficiently cooked paxillus involutus. as a result of hemolysis with reversible shock symptoms, acute renal failure developed. ...	1986	3784443
production of cytokinin-like substances by mycorrhizal fungi of pine (pinus sylvestris l.) in cultures with and without metabolites of actinomycetes.	studies on the effect of post culture liquids of actinomycetes on cytokinin-like substances production by mycorrhizal fungi have revealed that actinomycete metabolites inhibited or stimulated the synthesis of these compounds. the results of chromatographic analyses suggest, that substances stimulating the soybean callus are likely to be: riboside 6 (gamma, gamma-dimethylallylamino) purine and riboside zeatin. using gas chromatography it was confirmed that both substances are produced by rhizopog ...	1985	2412406
chromosome-breaking activity of extracts of the mushroom paxillus involutus fries ex batsch.	dry and presoaked seeds of nigella damascena were treated with aqueous extracts of the mushroom paxillus involutus. at the first mitosis after the onset of germination, metaphase chromosomes showed damage independent of the origin of the mushrooms. the damaging substance(s) is (are) thermostable. except a few achromatic gaps, all the lesions observed are of the chromosome type, i.e. are induced at the pre-synthetic g1 stage.	1991	2009940
[poisoning with the brown roll-rim mushroom, paxillus involutus].	brown roll-rim (paxillus involutus) is a dangerous poisonous mushroom with symptoms of poisoning which occur a few hours after consumption. repeated consumption may cause sensitization to a heat-stable toxin, resulting in haemolysis which may be of all degrees. in addition, severe gastrointestinal symptoms may be due to a heat-instable toxin. in cases with immune haemolysis, treatment consists of corticosteroid and possibly plasmapheresis and symptomatic therapy.	1991	2000656
concentrations of lead, cadmium, mercury and copper in mushrooms in the vicinity of a lead smelter.	the concentrations of four heavy metals in 149 samples of mushroom fruiting bodies, representing 11 species, mainly all edible, were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy. the mushrooms were collected up to a distance of 6 km from a lead smelter in central bohemia (czechoslovakia) in operation since 1786. lead was accumulated extensively by lepiota rhacodes and lepista nuda. among other species, significant accumulation was found up to a distance of 1 km from the source. concentrations of ...	1991	1925517
[hemoperfusion with coated activated charcoal for treating acute poisoning by remedies, plant protectants, and fungi. iii. fungi (author's transl)].	four patients with foudroyant liver dystrophy due to ingestion of fungi of the amanita phalloides species were treated by hemoperfusion with coated activated charcoal. three patients survived the poisoning. one patient died in a coma due to hepatic disintegration with cardiac and respiratory insufficiency. one female patient suffering from hemolytic syndrome and acute anuresis due to ingestion of fungi of the paxillus involutus species recovered completely after treatment of combinated hemodialy ...	1977	927297
