Objective To explore the intervention effect of emodin on organophosphorus poisoning induced respiratory failure.Methods 60 male Wistar rats of clean grade were randomly divided into:normal control group, model control group, positive drug group and emodin group, with 15 rats in each group.Except the normal control group rats were given intraperitoneal anesthesia, the right common carotid artery intubation, when rats stayed awake began a septic model.Blood gas analysis and serum level of oxygen free radicals and respiratory rate were compared before poisoning, respiratory failure, intervention of 5, 10, 30 min.Results Mouth breathing, slow respiratory frequency and cyanosis, appeared after exposure.Respiratory frequency decreased after exposure , compared with the positive drug group, respiratory frequency of emodin group 10 min and 30 min was higher ( P<0.05), PaO2, SaO2, BE decreased, PaCO2 increased after respiratory failure, Compared with the positive drug group, PaO2, PaCO2, SaO2 and BE of emodin group for the treatment of 10 min, 30 min was higher,(P <0.05).The level of oxygen free radicals in rats of each group had no significant difference before the exposure and the respiratory failure.Compared with the positive drug group, SOD and MDA of emodin group in 30 min after intervention were higher,( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Emodin can improve the respiratory frequency of organic phosphorus poisoning induced respiratory failure ,improve blood gas analysis of the indicators and the level of oxygen free radicals.

Objective To study the detection protocol of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)gene mutations in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)specimens of lung adenocarcinoma by establishing a liquid biopsy technique,and to analyze clinical value of the detection findings for clinical therapy.Methods In the retrospective study,a total of 26 CSF specimens from lung adenocarcinoma patients who harbored EGFR gene mutations(L858R and EGFR exon 19 deletion)were collected.The included patients were treated with first-generation EGFR TKIs,and had brain metastasis detected by imaging examinations.Five CSF specimens from non-tumor patients confirmed by clinical findings and cytological and pathological diagnosis were collected during the same period.EGFR gene mutations in cell-free CSF supernatant fluid were detected by using the protocol recommended in this study.Results EGFR mutations were detected in 21/26 (80.8%)of cell-free supernatants from CSF specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients,including 13 cases(61.9%)with EGFR L858R mutations and 8 cases(38.1%)with EGFR exon 19 deletion.No T790M mutation was detected in cell-free supernatants from all CSF specimens.No EGFR mutation was detected in cell-free supernatants from all CSF specimens from non-tumor patients.Conclusions Our study-established protocol could be used to detect EGFR mutations in cell-free supernatants from CSF specimens with high sensitivity and specificity.Perhaps due to the characteristics of first-generation EGFR TKIs,the detection rate of T790M mutation is low.The detection of T790M mutation in cell-free supernatants from CSF specimen may have a limited clinical value for choice of 3rd generation EGFR TKIs.
