Objective:
This study aimed to investigate alterations in brain activity due to acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) and their relationship with clinical manifestations using static and dynamic amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analyses.
Methods:
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and clinical data were obtained from 31 ACOP patients and 28 healthy controls. The static ALFF value and dynamic ALFF variability were measured and compared between groups. Partial correlation analysis explored the relationships between changes in ALFF and clinical features in ACOP patients.
Results:
ACOP patients exhibited increased dynamic ALFF in the bilateral superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) and decreased static ALFF in the left middle occipital gyrus (MOG) compared to controls. Aberrant dynamic ALFF in the left SFG and MFG was negatively correlated with MoCA-B scores (r = -0.430, p = 0.036; r = -0.439, p = 0.032).
Conclusion:
ACOP patients exhibited abnormal instability in intrinsic brain activity, particularly in prefrontal areas, where temporal variability in local brain activity correlates with cognitive performance. This study highlights the value of combined static and dynamic ALFF approaches in understanding brain disturbances caused by CO exposure, providing new insights into the neuropathological mechanisms of ACOP.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
