Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2016;39(4):303-305
Objective To study the clinical effect of sequential therapy by intravenous fat emulsion and hemoperfusion in patients with severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Methods Seventy-two patients with severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning were selected, and the patients were divided into sequential therapy group (36 cases) and conventional therapy group (36 cases) by random digits table method. All the patients were given conventional therapy including gastrolavage, purgation, fluid infusion, atropine, pralidoxime chloride, anti- infection, breath support and hemoperfusion. The patients in sequential therapy group were given intravenous fat emulsion before hemoperfusion. The clinical effect was compared between 2 groups. Results There were no statistical differences in the serum cholinesterase activity on admission and in the first day after treatment between 2 groups (P>0.05). The serum cholinesterase activities in the second, third and seventh day after treatment in sequential therapy group were significantly higher than those in conventional therapy group: (456.3 ± 45.6) U/L vs. (391.3 ± 39.8) U/L, (862.3 ± 96.2) U/L vs. (614.7 ± 78.5) U/L and (1950.9 ± 366.7) U/L vs. (1543.6 ± 285.9) U/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The total doses of atropine applied and length of stay in sequential therapy group were significantly less than those in conventional therapy group: (85.4 ± 36.2) mg vs. (104.7 ± 45.3) mg and (10.5 ± 4.2) d vs. (13.6 ± 6.2) d, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The recovery rate in sequential therapy group was significantly higher than that in conventional therapy group:97.2%(36/36) vs. 80.6%(29/36), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Sequential therapy by intravenous fat emulsion and hemoperfusion can improve the serum cholinesterase activity, and decrease the total dose of atropine in patients with severe organophosphate pesticide poisoning.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2001;28(1):118-120
The radioassay of glutamic decarboxylase (GAD) was modified by taking NaOH as trapped agent instead of phenylethylamine. The results showed that the coefficient of variation (CV) within same sample was 9.6 % and the radioactivity remains stable after 72 hours if use NaOH as trap agent. It is significantly stable than use phenylethylamine as trap agent, which the CV was 31.9 % and the radioactivity decreased 47% within the first hour and decreased to background after 6 hours. The reabsorption experiment shows over 80 % of 14CO2 can be reabsorption by NaOH within 6 hours. It is suggested that NaOH is a much better trap agent than phenylethylamine and the sensitivity can increase 1.66 folds. Using this method the GAD activity in 0.39~ 17.8 rng of brain tissue can be measured and it is success in determine the GAD activity both in rat brain tissue and cultured neurons.

Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and sequence types of Enterococcus faecium ( E. faecium) strains isolated from children under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province. Methods Kirby-Bauer antibiotic testing was performed to analyze the antibiotic sensitivi-ties of E. faecium strains to 15 common antibiotics. PCR analysis was used to detect the virulence genes car-ried by the E. faecium strains. Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was performed for the typing of E. faeci-um strains. Results Forty-seven E. faecium strains were isolated from 120 stool samples collected from chil-dren under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province, of which 95. 7% were antibiotic-resistant strains. Most of the isolated E. faecium strains were resistant to rifampicin, accounting for 91. 5% (43/47) of all isolates, followed by those resistant to erythromycin and tetracycline, which accounted for 68. 1% (32/47). Moreover, high resistance rates to those antibiotics commonly used in clinical treatments of E. faecium infec-tion including β-lactam and aminoglycosides antibiotics were observed. Those strains resistant to more than three kinds of antibiotics belonged to the same clonal complex including 12 strains of clonal complex 17 ( CC17) harboring the virulence gene of hyl. All of the isolated E. faecium strains were susceptible to vanco-mycin, linezolid, chloromycetin and nitrofurantoin. Conclusion The E. faecium strains isolated from chil-dren under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province were multi-antibiotic resistant. There were drug-resist-ance strains belonging to the CC17 and carrying the virulence gene of hyl.

Purpose To analyze and summarize morphological characteristics, the immune phenotype, diagnosis and differential diag-nosis, clinical features and prognosis of epithelioid angiomyolipomas retrospectively, to deepen understanding of EAML and improve the diagnostic accuracy. Methods The pathological morphology was observed and immunohistochemistry of phenotypic characteristics were analyzed in 7 cases of epithelioid angiomyolipomas. Results Seven cases of epithelioid angiomyolipomas had similar morphology:larger tumor cells, ovoid, fusiform or polygonal, with abundant and eosinophilic cytoplasm, a big nucleus of different size with obvious nucleoli, polynuclear and gaint tumor cells, with a few mitotic figures. The tumor cells arranged in nests or sheets, cuff-shaped around the blood vessels. Immunohistochemistry showed that the tumor cells were positive for HMB-45, Melan-A, vimentin and SMA, but negative for EMA, CK, and CD10. All of them underwent radical surgery or surgical resection, and were followed up for 3~56 months after operation. 6 cases were alive, without recurrence and metastasis, while 1 case died of gastrointestinal stromal sarcomas 3 months later. Conclusion Epithelioid angiomyolipomas belong to mesenchymal tumors with malignant potential, pathological morphology would be easily misdiagnosed as malignant tumors. Immunohistochemistry plays an important role in the differential diagnosis. Surgical treatment is the main method at present, with possibility of recurrence or metastasis.

Objective To optimize the extraction process for the effective fraction of Bushen Yizhi ( BSYZ) formula. Methods Yield of the effective fraction and contents of two marker compounds 2,3,5,4 -tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and osthole assayed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used as the optimizing indexes, and weighted coefficient of the indexes was analyzed by analytic hierarchy process ( AHP). Ratio of liquid-to-solid, extraction time, and extraction times were used to screen the optimal conditions by orthogonal test. Results The optimized extraction process of the effective fraction of BSYZ formula was as follows: extracting with 8-fold water for three times, and boiling for 1.5 hours each time. The verification test showed that the comprehensive scores of the optimized extractive process were higher than those obtained in the orthogonal test. Conclusion The optimized extraction process and conditions are practical in the manufacture of the effective fraction of BSYZ formula.

Objective To investigate the influence of passive smoking during pregnancy on the ability of cognitive and behavior of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children. Methods 92 ADHD children with passive smoking during pregnancy,99 cases without passive smoking and 100 cases normal children were selected. Their abilities of cognitive and behavioral were evaluated by intelligence test, Wisconsin card sorting test and Stroop test. Results The verbal intelligence quotient ( VIQ), performances intelligence quotient (PIQ) and the full intelligence quotient (FIQ) of ADHD children were significantly lower than normal children, especially for the ADHD children with passive smoking during pregnancy. Compared to the normal children,the ADHD children showed significant difference in the time of reading card A, B,C and reading errors of card B,C,especially for the ADHD children with passive smoking during pregnancy. Compared to the normal children, the ADHD children showed significantly more in the scores of responses errors, perseverant responses, perseverant errors, perseverant errors percentage and non-perseverant errors, and lower in conceptualization plane, especially for the ADHD children with passive smoking during pregnancy. Conclusion The defect of the ability of cognitive and behavior of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder children were the worse for passive smoking during pregnancy.
