Nerve agents (NAs) belong to the class of organic phosphorus compounds which are acetylcholinesterase ( AChE) inhibitors, including soman, sarin, tabun,VX, etc.NAs are extremely toxic and considered as the most danger-ous chemical warfare agents.The current standard treatment for poisoning by nerve agents consists of the combined adminis-tration of anticholinergic drugs such as atropine sulphate, AChE reactivators such as pralidoxime, obidoxime and HI-6 and diazepam for anticonvulsant effects, but oximes are therapeutic antidotes against nerve agent intoxications which exert the therapeutic purposes primarily by reactivating the NAs-inhibited AChE.In this paper, the mechanism of nerve agents, the main working procedure of anti-NAs drugs, the chemical structure of classic reactivator, the corresponding antitoxic action, in vivo and in vitro effects and metabolic kinetics are reviewed.

Purpose To inquire into the clinical and pathological features of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. Methods The histopathology and immunophenotypes of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma in 8 cases were observed. Results Clinically one or more subcutaneous nodules were first found, then the lesion infiltrated up to the epiderm or down to the fascia. Half of the cases were stable for long time without systematic symptoms. The others got high fever with bone marrow, lymphonode involvement, had tumescent liver, and spleen, and decreasing of the counts of thrombocytes or whole blood cells. A few were accompanied with lethal hematophage syndrome. Some rapidly advanced and died less than 3 years. Pathologically, atypical large, midium-size and small lymphocytes with variable ratio rounded the lipocytes like rosettes and were confluent to small patchs or foci or formed a reticular pattern. There were many karyokineses and karyorrhexis made of distinct karyorrhexis bodies. The histocytes reactively proliferated accompanied with phagoerythrocytic phenomena, and polynuclear giant cells and granulomatoid reaction were found. The tumor cells infiltrated in the lipolubules. They expressed T-cell immunophenotype. Conclusions This tumor is a special type of skin lymphoma involving subcutaneous fat tissue and special clinicophathological features.

Objective To observe the effect of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody on anti-GBM nephritis rats. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group Ⅰ was a negative control and was injected with healthy human IgG via the caudal vein. Control group Ⅱ was injected with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody only. Anti- GBM nephritis group was injected with human anti-GBM antibody via the caudal vein only. Intervention group Ⅰ was injected with human anti-GBM antibody via the caudal vein and then with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody at day 7. Intervention group Ⅱ was injected with human antiGBM antibody via the caudal vein and then with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody at day 14. The blood, urine and kidney tissue were collected at day 7, 14, 21 for analysis of 24-hour urinary protein, BUN, Ser and histological study. Results At day 21, there were significant decreases in intervention group Ⅰ compared with anti-GBM nephritis group in 24-hour proteinuria [(16.62±5.53) g], BUN[(11.53±2.26) mmol/L] and Scr [(102.46±16.86) μmol/L] (P<0.05), and also in intervention group Ⅱ as compared to anti-GBM nephritis group, but no significant difference was found (P>0.05) . There was obvious decrease of renal cell proliferation,crescent formation and deposition of immune complexes in intervention group Ⅰ and intervention group Ⅱ compared with anti-GBM nephritis group, while such improvement in intervention group Ⅰ was more significant. There was no significant change in control group Ⅰ and control group Ⅱ.Conclusion The early application of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibodies can effectively improve the kidney lesions of anti-GBM nephritis rats.

Objective To investigate the expression of CD44V6 in thyroid neoplasms and its significance. Methods The expression of CD44V6 in paraffin-embeded thyoid carcinoma tissue from 100 patients (50 with lymph node metastasis,50 without) and 20 patients with thyroid adenoma was measured by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Positive expression of CD44V6 in the group of thyoid carcinoma was 72%, significantly higher than the group of thyroid adenoma.Positive expression of CD44V6 in the group of thyoid carcinoma with lymph node involvement was 90%,significantly higher than the group of thyoid carcinoma without lymph node involvement.In patients with different pathological grade,different clinical stage and different survival time, the positive expression of CD44V6 was significantly different. Conclusions The results suggest that CD44V6 can be regarded as an valuable molecular markers to distinguish benign thyroid tumor from malignant tumor, to predict lymph node metastasis and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To establish a model for chlorpyrifos(CPF)whole-body dynamic inhalation exposure in SD rats and investigate the injury effects after acute exposure by CPF. METHODS By optimizing the aerosol parameters ,the animal acute dynamic inhalation exposure of CPF was established. Absorption sampling-gas phase detecting technology was used to monitor the concentration of CPF in the whole-body dynamic-inhalation exposure cabin by exploring the relationship between the concentration , particle size of CPF aerosol and the CPF inhalation time in the exposure cabin via a particle size detector. Using Bliss method,specific pathogen free SD male rats were allocated to the environment of CPF exposure at different lethal concentrations and time points. The symptoms and deaths of these SD male rats in different groups were recorded within the following 10 d. Based on the median lethal concentra?tion time(LCt50),the values of plasma cholinesterase(ChE)were checked at different time points after being exposed at different doses. RESULTS The mean concentrations of CPF aerosol at nine time points was 160.6 mg · m-3,the relative standard deviation value was 6.9%;the geometrical mean of aerosol particle size was 1.1 μm,and the geometric standard deviation was 1.8. The results met the technical requirements of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development regarding acute inhalation exposure. Under these equipment conditions,the LCt50 of CPF acute inhalation of SD male rats was 1654.2 mg · m-3 · h,suggesting that plasma ChE inhibitory rate was higher with the increase in the exposing dose,and that there was a significant difference as compared with the controls(P<0.05). CONCLU?SION The model for whole-body dynamic-inhalation exposure of CPF is applicable to rats,which can serve as an experimental platform and technical support to inhalation vulnerability and the research on prevention and cure of organophosphate industrial products and nerve agents.

Mercury is one of the common heavy-metal toxins,which can cause damage throughout the body in a variety of ways. Cases of renal toxicity of mercury poisoning are increasing clinically. However,little is known about nephrotoxicity mechanisms,and treatment remains unsatisfactory. The mechanism of mercury toxic nephropathy is reviewed in this paper,including the direct toxic effect on the kidney,the injury to the biomembrane system,generation of Hg-metallothionein,imbalance of intra?cellular calciumion,oxidative damage,induced apoptosis,and immune injury. Besides,the mechanism and limitation of common therapies,potential developments of the field are discussed. This review will facilitate further investigations therapies about both the mechanism and treatment of mercury toxic nephropathy.
