Source: the dried whole body of Agkistrodonacutus (Gunther), a five-paced snake. 1. The venomous action of five-paced snake and viper Mainly blood circulation venom. After being bitten by the five-paced snake local swelling and pain, bruising, ulceration; the whole body can appear a large number of hemolysis, bleeding, hemoptysis, water and electrolyte disorders; or even the rapid emergence of a sudden drop in blood pressure, resulting in respiratory and cardiac arrest and death. This kind of blood pressure drop is related to the release of histamine (also 5-hydroxytryptamine, bradykinin, etc.), clinical patients and experimental animals have acute myocardial damage of electrocardiographic and pathological changes. Acute hemolysis causes hyperkalemia, which can also lead to acute heart failure. Loss of blood coagulation and extensive hemorrhage are the prominent symptoms of venomous snake bites, the mechanism of which is that snake venom has the effect of promoting blood coagulation. The venom of the five-paced snake has a thrombin-like effect (also antithrombin and fibrinolytic), and the venom of the viper has a thromboplastin-like effect (acting on factor X). They precipitate plasma fibrinogen into fibrin, forming microclots that are deposited in the plasma. These fibrin clots are dissolved by fibrinolytic enzymes, resulting in a loss of blood coagulation due to fibrin depletion, and bleeding that is difficult to stop (defibrinization syndrome). Most viper venoms contain a "hemorrhagic toxin," or vasotoxin, which is destructive to the vascular system (especially the lungs) and can cause significant systemic hemorrhage and localized hemorrhagic edema. The vasotoxin is a protein, low proteolytic activity, no enzymatic activity.

The injection made of five-step snake can treat hypertension, can make the blood pressure of anesthetized dogs fell significantly, the mechanism of its antihypertensive effect is a direct vasodilator. It also has sedative, hypnotic and some analgesic effects on mice.

2. The venom of the silver ring snake is mainly neurotoxic. After being bitten by the silver ring snake, the local numbness only occurs, and the sensation is not great. Once the neurological symptoms attack, severe respiratory paralysis can be seen, which can easily lead to death. The cause of respiratory paralysis may be a peripheral arrow venom-like effect. The onset of action is slow, but recovery is also slow or difficult. The antagonistic effect of anticholinesterase drugs is not obvious.

The silver-ringed snake also contains beta-bungaro- toxin, which inhibits the release of acetylcholine from nerve endings. This effect is different from that of cobra neurotoxin (Cobrotoxin), alpha-bungarotoxin or arrow venom.

Silver ring snake venom has an inhibitory effect on the respiratory muscles, the nervous system (especially the respiratory center), but also on the gastrointestinal function (gastrointestinal paralysis). Before causing respiratory paralysis generally do not appear heart failure or shock. In critically ill patients, severe myocardial damage can occur, so the occurrence of circulatory failure should be prevented during resuscitation. Efficacy of medicinal wine
