EXP THER Liquid nitrogen in the treatment of acne vulgaris, as compared to several other topical regimens, was evaluated in 12 male and 13 female patients. During each visit bilateral counts of the various types of acne lesions were conducted. Eight of the 25 patients continued with their prior topical regimens unilaterally, plus antibiotics. All 25 patients received liquid nitrogen therapy unilaterally in a roll-on fashion. Fourteen (56%) of the 25 patients had predominantly comedopapular acne, whereas 11 (44%) had mostly papulopustular acne. There was no substantial difference in the 2 treatment regimens in managing patients with predominant comedopapular acne. Patients with predominantly pustulopapular acne, however, frequently demonstrated marked decreases in lesion counts and improved appearance after liquid nitrogen therapy. Papules remained mostly resistant to liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen may be a useful adjunct in the treatment of pustular acne, but appears ineffective in comedo and papular acne.

The principal route of exposure to nitrogen is via the inhalation route. The concentration of nitrogen between inhaled and exhaled human breath is not significantly different. Also, nitrogen is only sparingly soluble in water. Therefore an insignificant amount of nitrogen is absorbed into the human body.

A study was performed to obtain quantitative measures of nitrogen exchange rates in human knees using the short lived isotope nitrogen-13 (N-13) as a tracer. Nine male volunteers rebreathed a normoxic gas mixture with N-13 for 30 minutes and room air for a 1.5 hour washout period. Eight subjects were experienced deep sea divers, and one subject was a smoker. Positron detectors were used to monitor the N-13 in the knee. Data were corrected for background and decay. All but two subjects showed a marked rise in N-13 activity after the end of N-13 breathing; this rise relatively long after the end of radioactive gas inspiration was unexpected. In most cases the concentration continued to rise for at least 30 minutes after the end of exposure. Mechanisms for the observed rise of knee N-13 were considered. Nitrogen sinks in some knee structure or nearby structure could be physical, chemical, or physiological. The authors conclude that these unexpected results of a very marked delay in knee gas excretion 30 minutes into the pulmonary washout period suggests that a gas exchange model consistent with these data is needed to avoid decompression sickness.

In cryotherapy, mechanism of action could be classified into three stages: 1. heat transfer, 2. cell injury and 3. inflammation. Boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -196C, which is the responsible for creating the initial stage which is heat transfer. The second stage is cell injury which is induced during thawing conditions of the cells. The last step in the cryotherapy is the inflammation stage which is characterized by edema and erythema. Inflammation occurs as a result of cellular death and it helps in local cell destruction.
... Nitrogen also has a direct toxic action of its own, affecting brain functions and inducing a stupor or euphoria. Nitrogen narcosis ("rapture of the deep" or "the martini effect") results from a direct toxic effect of high nitrogen pressure on nerve conduction and produces effects similar to alcohol intoxication. Complex reasoning, decision-making ability, motor function, and manual dexerity decrease. Individuals vary in this response widely, but it typically can be noticed among divers at depths exceeding 100 ft (30 m). For example, certain individuals experience no effect at depths of < or = 130 ft, whereas others feel some effect at around 80 ft. Nonetheless, the narcotic effect increases with increasing depth so that each additional 50 ft incrementally produces the effect of "another martini".

A simple asphyxiant, nitrogen's main toxicty arises from its ability to displace O2 and generate an atmosphere that does not support the chemical reactions needed for maintenance of life. The displacement of O2 can be complete or incomplete, leading to varying degrees of hypoxia.
Bingham, E.; Cohrssen, B.; Powell, C.H.; Patty's Toxicology Volumes 1-9 5th ed. John Wiley & Sons. New York, N.Y. (2001)., p. 634
Nitrogen is an inert substance and does not exert a direct toxicological effect. Nitrogen acts by the physiological effect of simple asphyxia on the target species within a Controlled Atmosphere Treatment (CAT) bubble. The biocide action of nitrogen is due to its displacement of oxygen from an atmospheric oxygen level of 20.8% to levels < 0.2% v/v in the CAT bubble. The level of oxygen is the critical factor. Victims exposed to atmospheres deficient in oxygen, i.e. < 19%, will begin to display signs and symptoms of oxygen-deficient exposure of air due to an increase in nitrogen.
