A 64-year-old woman developed symptoms of vomiting and tonic-clonic convulsions 9.5 h after eating 50 roasted Ginkgo biloba seeds with 100 g of alcohol. The intravenous administration of pyridoxal phosphate effectively improved the symptoms. Blood samples were collected and stored over 35 h. The assessment of 4'-O-methylpyridoxine and vitamin B6 vitamers indicated high levels of both, but the pyridoxal phosphate levels were low during the acute stage. These results suggest that 4'-O-methylpyridoxine inhibits the transformation of vitamin B6 analogues to the active form, pyridoxal phosphate. In our case, alcohol may have extended the period until ginkgo intoxication appeared.
一名64岁女性在食用50颗炒白果并饮用100克酒精后9.5小时出现呕吐和强直性阵挛性惊厥症状。静脉注射磷酸吡哆醛有效改善了症状。采集血样并保存35小时以上。对4'-O-甲基吡哆醇和维生素B6维生素类似物的评估表明二者水平均较高,但急性期磷酸吡哆醛水平较低。这些结果表明,4'-O-甲基吡哆醇抑制维生素B6类似物转化为活性形式的磷酸吡哆醛。在我们的病例中,酒精可能延长了白果中毒出现的时间。
