Objective To investigate the changes of serum and urine fluorion organic fluoride poisoning by inhaling, and to probe into the clinical application value of concentrations in different degrees and at different time in patients with acute evaluating the sertm and urine fluorion concentration in acute organic fluoride poisoning by inhaling. Method A study was carried out in 23 patients, who suffered from acute organic fluoride poisoning by inhaling and were admitted Zhejiang Quhua Hospital, from December 2000 to December 2008. According to the occupational acute organic fluoride poisoning diagnostic criteria(GBZ66-2002),23 patients were divided into mild poisoning group,moderate poisoning group and severe poisoning group. Serum and urine fluorion concentration of patients at 1,2,3,4,5 d after poisoning were measured by using Ion-Selective Electrodes. Fluorion concentration of 10 staffs of Fluorine chemical company was also measured at the same period as the control group. The values of serum and urine fluorion concentration were analyzed. Differences in serum and urine fluorion concentration between groups at different time points were compared by repeated measures ANOVA and variability were deemed as statistical significance when P < 0.05. Results Compared with mild poisoning group, there was no statistically significant difference ( P > 0.05) in serum and urine fluorion concentration at the same time point in 1 to 5 days after poisoning in moderate poisoning group, but there was statistically significant differences ( P < 0.05 or P <0.01) in severe poisoning group. Compared with moderate poisoning group, there was statistically significant difference ( P < 0.05) in serum and urine fluorion concentration at the same time point in 1 to 5 days after poisoning in severe poisoning group. Serum fluorion concentration in 1 to 5 days after poisoning in each poisoning groupswere statistically higher than those in control group ( P < 0.05), but there was statistically significant elevation ( P< 0.05) in urine fluorion concentration only in 1 day in mild poisoning group, in 1 to 3 days in moderate poisoning groups, in 1 to 5 days in severe poisoning group. Conclusions Serum fluorion concentration can be used as the severity index of diagnosis and determine the extent in 5 days after acute organic fluoride poisoning by inhaling,and urine fluorion concentration can also be used as diagnostic indicators of intoxication, but only in earlier stage or severe poisoning.

AIM: To observe the effects of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge (SMB) on left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and the expression of c-fos. METHODS: 18 SHRs in 8 weeks old were divided into three groups at random. SMB or distilled water(1 g?kg -1?d -1)was injected intraperitoneally to two groups for 10 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and left ventricular mass index(LVMI)were measured. HE,VG and immunohistochemical staining combined with computed morphometry were used to evaluated the cardiomyocyte size and diameter, the collagen volume fraction(CVF), perivascular circumferential area (PVCA) and c-fos expression in the left ventricular tissue. RESULTS: Compared with 8-week-old rats, the SBP, LVMI, cardiomyocyte size and diameter, CVF, PCVA, c-fos expression increased markedly in the 18th week of SHRs. The LVH stopped and c-fos expression decreased whereas SBP changed slightly in animals treated with SMB. CONCLUSION: Chronic treatment with SMB can inhibit the development of LVH in SHR, which is probably related to the decease of cardiac c-fos.

The changes of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and brain ultrastructure during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the effects of ulinastation injection were observed, and the mechanism was investigated. Twenty-four adult healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (8 rats), resuscitation group (8 rats) and ulinastatin (UTI) group (8 rats). Rats in control group underwent tracheotomy without clipping the trachea to induce circulatory and respiratory standstill. Rats in resuscitation and ulinastatin group were subjected to the procedure of establishing the model of cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR). Rats in ulinastatin group were given with UTI 104 U/kg once after CPCR. In the control group, the plasma was collected immediate, 30 min, 2 h, 4 h, and 6 h after tracheotomy. In resuscitation group and UTI group, plasma was collected immediate after tracheotomy, 30 min, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h after successful resuscitation. The plasma levels of TNF-alpha were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). At the end of the experiment, 2 rats were randomly selected from each group and were decapitated. The cortex of the brain was taken out immediately to observe the ultrastructure changes. In control group, there were no significant differences in the level of TNF-alpha among different time points (P>0.05). In resuscitation group, the level of TNF-alpha was increased obviously after resuscitation (P<0.01) and reached its peak 2 h later after resuscitation. An increasing trend of TNF-alpha showed in UTI group. There were no differences in TNF-alpha among each sample taken after successful resuscitation and that after tracheotomy. The utrastructure of brains showed the injury in UTI group was ameliorated as compared with that in resuscitation group. In early period of CPCR, TNF-alpha was expressed rapidly and kept increasing. It indicated that TNF-alpha might take part in the tissue injury after CPCR. The administration of UTI during CACR could depress TNF-alpha and ameliorate brain injury. By regulating the expression of damaging mediator, UTI might provide a protective effect on the tissue injury after CPCR.

Objective To study the factors influenceing patients' family members to make own relative fac-tors patients' families making decision on refusal of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the critical patients. Method Data were registered based on Utstein Style of 522 patients aged over 15 years, who subjected to in-hos-pital cardiac arrest(CA) in Department of Emergency of The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College from January 2005 to December 2008. A total of 157 patients' family made refusal decision among the 522 pa-tients, who belonged to the refusal group, and others belonged to the attempt resuscitation group. The associated factors included age, sex, marriage, household register, cause of CA, underlying diseases, capability of activity before CA, life supported with mechanical ventilation, and administration of pressor agents. The refusal decisions were evaluated by using univariate Logistical regression analysis, and then the statistical significant variables were analyzed by using muhivanate Logistical regression analysis. Results Age, household register, cause of CA(car-diac or traumatic),stroke, sudden death, cancer, capability of activity before CA, life supported with mechanical ventilation,and administration of pressor agents were the important factors of making refusal decision (P < 0.01), but sexes or marriage was insignificant related to the refusal decision (P > 0. O5). The independent risk factors re-lated to refusal decision were age (P = 0.034),cancer (P = 0.006),stroke (P = 0.003), and life supported with mechanical ventilation (P = 0.000) in multivariate Logistical regression analysis, but the protective factors were sudden death (P =0.000),cardiac CA (P =0.020) and traumatic CA(P =0.000). Conclusions Age over 60 years, cancer, stroke, and life suppoted with assisted ventilation before CA were factors associated with re-fusal decision making, yet sudden death, cardiac CA and traumatic CA were factors of accepting CPR.

Objective:To investigate the anticoagulant causes, hemorrhagic susceptibility factors and clinical characteristics of patients with warfarin-related major bleeding in the emergency department of a general hospital.Methods:In a registry study from January 2017 to February 2020, 114 cases of warfarin-related major bleeding patients admitted to Department of Emergency Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled. The descriptive methods were used to analyze anticoagulant causes, hemorrhagic susceptibility factors and clinical characteristics. Patients were divided into the international normalized ratio (INR) overrange group and the INR non-overrange group according to INR value during bleeding. The Chi-square test, Student’s t test, and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare the differences between the INR overrange group and the INR non-overrange group. The Wilcoxon rank sum test and Student’s t test were used to analyze the characteristics of gastrointestinal tract bleeding and cerebral hemorrhage. Results:Warfarin-related major bleeding accounted for 0.36% (114/32 040) of first aid cases and 9.84% (114/1 158) of warfarin-taking cases, respectively. Seventy-seven cases (67.5%) of anticoagulant causes were related to atrial fibrillation (AF) and 32 cases (28.1%) were related to post-operative cardiac valve replacement. Of the bleeding susceptibility factors, HAS-BLED scored at 4.0 (3.0, 5.0), 84 cases (73.7%) had a history of drug use, 77 cases (67.5%) aged older than 65 years old, 65 cases (57.0%) had irregular INR monitoring, and 29 cases (25.4%) had recent increase in dose. Forty cases (35.1%) were gastrointestinal tract bleeding with the lowest hemoglobin (Hb) value and the highest score of HAS-BLED. Twenty-one cases (18.4%) were cerebral hemorrhage with the shortest prothrombin time (PT), the lowest INR value, the highest Hb, and the lowest score of HAS-BLED. Twelve cases (10.5%) died or gave up treatment in critical condition, including 6 cases of cerebral hemorrhage, 5 cases of gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and 1 case of hemoptysis. There were statistically significant differences in previous history of antiplatelet therapy, recent increase in dose, HAS-BLED score and bleeding site between the INR overrange group and the INR non-overrange group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Among patients with warfarin-related major bleeding, AF and post-operative cardiac valve replacement are the main causes of warfarin anticoagulation. INR overrange is related to the previous history of antiplatelet therapy, recent increase in dose, and the high score of HAS-BLED. The gastrointestinal tract bleeding is the most common, with the lowest Hb value and the highest score of HAS-BLED. Cerebral hemorrhage is the second common, with the shortest PT, the lowest INR value, and the highest Hb. The incidence and mortality rates of warfarin-related major bleeding are relatively high.

Objective To observe the changes of cell apoptosis and levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in myocardium after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rats and to study the protective effects of different doses of exogenous phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate, CP) on cell apoptosis. Methods A total of 32 male adult SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely control group ( group A), CPR group (group B), low dose CP group (group C, phosphocreatine 0. 5 g/kg given at beginning of CPR and 1.0 g/ kg 2 hour after CPR) and high dose CP group ( group D, phosphocreatine 1.0 g/kg at beginning of CPR and 2. 0 g/kg 2 hours after CPR) . Cardiac arrest was induced by asphyxiation and CPR was started 7 min after asphyxiation it groups B, C and D. Myocardium samples were taken 24 hours after CPR for detecting myocardium cell apoptosis by TUNEL method. The levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein were measured by using immunohistochemistry. Experimental data were processed with variance analysis in SPSS package. Results Compared with group A, myocardium cell apoptosis index (AI), and the levels of Bcl-2 and Bax proteinincreased significantly in groups B, C and D (P <0. 01 ), and Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased significantly (P <0. 01 ) . Compared with group B, myocardium cell AI and levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein decreased significantly in groups C and D ( P < 0. 01 ), and Bcl-2/Bax ratio increased significantly ( P < 0. 01 ) .Compared with group C, myocardium cell AI and levels of Bcl-2 and Bax decreased significantly in group D (P < 0. 05 ), and Bcl-2/Bax ratio increased significantly ( P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion Exogenous phosphocreatine, especially inlarge dose, could inhibit apoptosis of myocardium cells and alleviate myocardium injury after CPR in rats.

Objective To study the effects of exogenous phosphocreatine (CP) on brain injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rats.Methods A total of 160 male adult SD rats were randomly ( random number) divided into 4 groups:sham-operation control group ( group A),CPR group ( group B),low-dose CP group ( group C),high-dose CP group ( group D),and each group was further divided into 5 subgroups (n =8) as per study at different intervals,0.5,3,6,12 and 24 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in groups B,C and D or after tracheotomy in group A.Cardiac arrest (CA) was induced by using asphyxia to establish CPR model in group B,C and D.The CP0.5 g/kg used in group C or CP 1.0 g/kg used in group D was injected into femoral vein at beginning of ROSC.Rats in each subgroup were sacrificed and the tissues of frontal lobe of brain of rats were taken at different intervals.The levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP),adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in cerebral cortex were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),and values of total adenine nucleotides ( TAN ) and energy charge ( EC ) were detected.The activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase in cerebral cortex were assayed by spectrophotometric method. The pathological changes of cerebral cortex were observed under optical microscope.The experimental data were processed with analysis of variance by using SPSS 16.0 package. Results Compared with group A,the levels of ATP,TAN,EC,Na + -K + -ATPase,Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase were lower ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ) at each interval in groups B and C,and at intervals of 0.5,3,6,12 h in group D,and the levels of AMP were higher (P < 0.01 ) at each interval in group B and at intervals of 0.5 h and 3 h in groups C and D.Compared with group B,the levels of ATP,TAN,EC,Na + -K + -ATPase,Ca2 + -Mg2+ -ATPase were higher ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ),and the levels of AMP were lower ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ) at intervals of 6,12 and 24 h in groups C and D.Compared with group C,the levels of ATP at interval of 24 h and TAN,Na +- K + -ATPase,Ca2 + -Mg2 + -ATPase at intervals of 6,12 and 24 h were higher in group D ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).There were severe pathological changes in cerebral cortex in group B,and mild changes in groups C and D. Conclusions There was obvious energy metabolism disorder after CPR in rats.Treatment with exogenous CP could increase the levels of ATP and activities of ATPase,alleviate pathological changes,especially in high-dose,and mitigate injury in cerebral cortex after CPR in rats.
