Emergency treatment of petroleum distillate and turpentine ingestion.

A comparative study was made of pulmonary complications following the use of ipecac syrup and gastric lavage for hydrocarbon ingestion. The selected 255 patients had chest radiography when first seen and again two to five days later. Of these patients 74 or 29% had been treated with ipecac syrup, 41 or 16% by gastric lavage. On follow-up radiographs 19% of the ipecac-treated group were unchanged or worsened, compared with 39% of the lavage group, suggesting that pneumonitis was significantly less severe in the ipecac-treated patients. Use of ipecac is preferred over gastric lavage for alert patients who have ingested an excessive amount of hydrocarbon.

[Fixation of molecular nitrogen by sulfate-reducing bacteria from petroleum strata].

The activity of nitrogen fixation by the museum strains of sulfate reducing bacteria isolated from oil deposits was studied using the acetylene technique. The mesophilic sulpfate reducing bacteria belonging to the species Desulfovibrio africanus 2372 and D. baculatus X were found to have a high nitrogenase activity. D desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii 2198 reduced acetylene at a low rate. The thermophilic sulfate reducing cultures of D. thermophilus 7, Desulfotomaculum nigrificans 781 and Dm. nigrificans subsp. salinus 435 produced only small quantities of ethylene. Apparently, nitrogen fixation by sulfate reducing bacteria can be considerable in oil strata whose temperature does not exceed 35--40 degrees C.
