OBJECTIVE The antagonism of obidoxi me on sarin induced miosis and visual impair-ment was evaluated and its antagonistic mechanism was investigated.METHODS ① 30 min after sarin (2 μg /0.1 mL per eye)was given as an eyedrop,the ability of the 2.5%,5.0%,7.5% obidoxi me and 1 .0% atropine to reverse effects of sarin on pupil dia meter and light reflex were evaluated at different ti mes.② Another 36 rabbits received sarin and at 30 min afer sarin exposure,the drugs above were ad-ministrated and their effects on pupillary light reflex,as well as the AChE activity of cornea,iris and reti-na were recorded 4h after the treatment.RESULTS ① Miosis and impaired pupillary light reflex oc-curred soon after sarin exposure but the abnormal pupil width and pupillary light reflex had disappeared by 48 h after sarin exposure;Subcequent to 1 .0% atropine treatment,the pupil dilatedinstead while the impaired light reflex did not i mprove significantly;unlike atropine,soon after ad ministration of 2.5%, 5.0%,7.5% obidoxi me,the pupil dia meter and light reflex were significantly increased(P <0.01 )and then had beco me normal totally by 24 h post-dose,much faster than those of the control and atropine treatment group.However,there was no significant difference in the recovery ti me between the different dose groups of obidoxi me.② 4h after treatment,the AChE activity in cornea and irisof sarin-treated group were (42 ±4)%,(26 ±2)%,respectively;the AChE activity in cornea of 2.5%,5.0%,7.5%obidoxi me were (74 ±1 1 )%,(81 ±10)% and (74 ±7)%,respectively,and the AChE activity in iris were(39 ±10)%,(43 ±8)% and (43 ±8)%,respectively ,co mpared with sarin-treated group,AChE activities of cornea and iris as well as light reflex of the obidoxi me-treated group were significantly increased(P<0.01 ).But there was no difference in light reflex and AChE activity between the sarin-treated and atropine-treated groups.CONCLUSION Obidoxi me showed better antagonism of sarin-induced ocular effects than that of the commonly used drug,atropine;the antagonistic mechanism is likely closely related to its rapid reactivation of the inhibited AChE in the cornea and iris.

ObjectiveTo determine thallium in whole blood by atomic absorption detection method, and to investigate the eliminating effect of hemoperfusion (HP) for thallium in blood.Methods The blood of Beagle dogs which had not exposed to thallium before were obtained for preparation of thallium nitrate (TlNO3)-containing solution in three concentrations according to the conversion formula based on animal weight and volume of blood. HP was performed in the simulated in vivo environment. The content of TlNO3 in blood of the next group was determined on the amount of TlNO3 for the last HP of the former dose group. Thallium quantity in different samples was measured with atomic absorption spectrometer blood samples before and after HP. Finally, the thallium concentration in blood was analyzed statistically.Results Thallium concentrations showed a good linear relationship in the range of 0-200μg/L (r = 0.998 4). The intra-day precision (RSD) was lower than 4.913%, the intra-day recovery rate was 96.2%-111.9%; the inter-day precision (RSD) was lower than 7.502%, the inter-day recovery rate was 89.6%-105.2%. The concentration of thallium in blood was significantly reduced after HP per time in high, middle, and low dose groups [(453.43±27.80) mg/L to (56.09±14.44) mg/L in high dose group,F = 8.820,P = 0.003;(64.51±13.60) mg/L to (3.19±0.23) mg/L in middle dose group,F = 36.312,P = 0.000; (5.40±0.98) mg/L to (0.38±0.25) mg/L in low dose group,F = 46.240,P = 0.000]. The adsorption rate of four times of HP in high, middle and low dose group were (87.63±2.48)%, (95.06±1.54)% and (92.76±4.87)%, respectively, without significant difference (F = 4.231,P = 0.070 ).Conclusions The method for measuring thallium was established, and it shows a very stable, simple, sensitive for determination of thallium. HP can effectively remove thallium from blood. Thallium concentration can be reduced by 90% after four times of HP. HP is also effective even when thallium concentration is not high.

Objective To explore the effects of acteoside on dysfunction of learning and memory and the protective effect of oxidative stress in rats with vascular dementia.Methods 30 SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,model group,nicergoline group,low-dose acteoside group and high-dose acteoside group,with 6 rats in each group.Preparation of vascular dementia model by 2-vessed occlusion.The ability of exploring and learning and memory in rats were detected by step down test and avoid dark test.Determination of malondialdehyde (MDA),reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity in serum and brain tissue was conducted by Elisa.Results Autonomic activity test showed that the frequency and activity of autonomous activity in the model group were significantly lower than those in the sham group(P＜0.01),the frequency of autonomous activity in each administration group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P＜0.01),and the central activity time in the high-dose group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P＜0.01).Step down test and avoid dark test showed that the latency of the model group was significantly lower than that of the sham group.(Model group of step down test:(25.33 ± 3.01) s,Sham group of step down test:(56.83 ± 15.90)) (P＜ 0.01).(Model group of avoid dark test:(15.67 ± 3.61) s,Sham group of avoid dark test:(135.82±44.00) s) (P＜0.01).The latency of low dose group was significantly higher than that of model group.(Low dose group of step down test:(46.40±14.32) s) (P＜0.01).(Low dose group of avoid dark test (44.20± 8.26)s) (P＜0.05).Step down test and avoid dark test showed that the number of mistakes in the model group was significantly higher than that in the sham operation group(P＜0.01).The number of errors in nicergoline group and the low dose group was significantly lower than that in the model group (P＜0.01,P＜0.05).In serum,the content of MDA and ROS in model group was significantly higher than that in sham group (P＜0.01) while the activity of GSH-PX in model group was significantly lower than that of sham group.The content of MDA in the other groups was significantly lower than that in the model group (P＜0.01).The content of ROS in the nicergoline group and low dose group was significantly lower than that in the model group (P＜0.05,P＜0.0l).The activity of GSH-PX in high dose group was significantly higher than that in model group (P＜0.01).In brain tissue,the content of MDA and Ros in model group was significantly higher than that in sham group (P＜0.01).The content of MDA and ROS in low dose group and high dose group were significantly lower than that in model group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion Acteoside can improve the dysfunction of learning and memory and depressive mood disorder caused by vascular dementia and reduce oxidative stress injury by decreasing the content of MDA-ROS and increasing the activity of GSH-PX enzyme.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between femoral distal medial torsion and patellofemoral joint malalignment and analyze the causes of patellofemoral joint disorders,which provide the new theory with clinical treatment.MethodsFrom May 2007 to June 2009,124 knees(95 cases) with patellofemoral joint disorders were enrolled in this study randomly.Each knee was scanned with CT in dynamic 20° -30° knee flax position.Femoral distal medial torsion angle (FMTA),patellar congruence angle (CA) and patellar tilt angle(PTA) were measured.The correlation between FMTA and CA or PTA was analyzed.Results FMTA ＜ 5° in 25 knees,≥5° in 99 knees,6 knees with trochlear dysplasia who were excluded.FMTA in 93 knees was 16.06° ± 5.68°,CA was 16.40° ± 5.48° and PTA was 19.59° ± 3.32°.The positive correlation was found between FMTA and CA when FMTA ＞ 10°through scatter diagram analysis (r =0.709,P ＜ 0.05 ).The positive correlation was found between FMTA and PTA when FMTA ＞10°( r =0.652,P ＜ 0.05),the positive trend declined when FMTA ＞ 27°.ConclusionsFemoral distal medial torsion is an important risk factor of patellofemoral joint malalignment.When FMTA ＞ 10°,FMTA and CA,PTA has positive correlation,but the positive tend between FMTA and PTA declines when FMTA ＞ 27°.

Objective    To compare clinical effects of extended thymectomy for the treatment of thymic abnormalities with myasthenia gravis (MG) between subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic resection (SR) and the unilateral thoracoscopic resection (UR) by a propensity-score matching analysis. Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 612 patients who presented with MG and were admitted to Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University between December 2011 and December 2018. Of these patients, 520 patients underwent subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (a SR group) and 92 unilateral thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (a UR group). Ninety-two patients in the SR group were matched with the UR group by propensity-score matching analysis. There were 52 males and 40 females with an average age of 26-70 (50.2±10.3) years in the SR group, and 47 males and 45 females with an average age of 20-73 (51.5±12.1) years in the UR group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, thoracic drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, thorough adipose tissue removal, postoperative remission of MG, patients’ satisfaction score, pain and complications were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results    All operations were accomplished successfully, without conversion to thoracotomy of the two groups. There were statistical differences between the two groups in operation time (46.2±19.5 min vs. 53.4±23.5 min), chest drainage duration (0 d vs. 3.4±1.2 d), hospital stay (2.9±1.9 d vs. 3.6±1.7 d), patients’ satisfaction score (7.9±2.1 points vs. 6.7±1.2 points) and pain scores (all P<0.05). There were no statistical differences between the two groups in intraoperative blood loss (52.2±12.7 mL vs. 51.2±10.3 mL), peripheral adipose tissue removal (8.1±0.6 vs. 7.9±0.9), remission rate of MG (89.1% vs. 85.9%) and rate of postoperative complications (10.9% vs. 6.5%) (all P>0.05). Conclusion    Subxiphoid and subcostal arch thoracoscopic extended thymectomy is a safe and feasible minimally invasive procedure for the management of MG with thymic abnormalities.
