Iodomethane is a commonly used methylation reagent in organic synthesis. However, reports of acute iodomethane poisoning are rare. Herein, we report the successful treatment of a patient with acute iodomethane poisoning. During processing and production, owing to inadequate personal protection, the patient's eyes were directly exposed to iodomethane gas, leading to blurred vision and magnetic resonance imaging findings consistent with toxic encephalopathy. Following a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment at our hospital, outpatient follow-ups and clinical assessments confirmed the patient's recovery.

Background: There are numerous toxins that affect our nervous system, both central and peripheral. Innumerable differentials exist in patients of acute encephalopathy and the list can be narrowed down with appropriate imaging. Specific neuroradiological features point to a particular diagnosis in a substantial number of cases.

Testing for acute inhalation hazards is conducted in animals; however, a number of robust in vitro human cell-based alternatives have been developed and tested. These models range in complexity from cultures of cell lines or primary cells in air-liquid interface on Transwells, to more complex and physiologically relevant flow- and mechanical stimulation-enabled tissue chips. Although the former models are relatively straightforward to establish and can be tested in medium/high throughput, the latter require specialized equipment and lack in throughput.

In vitro chemical risk assessment using human cells is emerging as an alternative to in vivo animal testing with reduced costs, fewer animal welfare concerns, and the possibility of greater human health relevance. In vitro inhalation toxicity testing of volatile compounds poses particular challenges. Here we report our efforts to establish a testing protocol in our own lab using the EpiAirway bronchial epithelium cell culture model and the Vitrocell 12/12 system for air-liquid interface (ALI) exposures.

Incorporation of d-amino acids into peptidoglycan is a unique metabolic feature of bacteria. Since d-amino acids are not metabolic substrates in most mammalian tissues, this difference can be exploited to detect living bacteria . Given the prevalence of d-alanine in peptidoglycan muropeptides, as well as its role in several antibiotic mechanisms, we targeted this amino acid for positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer development.
