OBJECTIVETo determine 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone (AMOZ) residues released from protein bound AMOZ in animal tissues.
METHODSPolyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were produced in this study. A rapid, sensitive, and specific competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cdELISA) was developed.
RESULTSRabbit polyclonal antibodies were used in the optimized cdELISA method, and exhibited negligible cross-reactivity with other compounds structurally related to AMOZ. The IC(50) of the polyclonal antibody was 0.16 ng/mL. The method limit of detection in four different types of animal and fish tissues was less than 0.06 μg/kg. Recoveries ranged from 80% to 120% for fortified samples with the coefficient of variation values less than 15%. The results of the cdELISA method were in good agreement with the results from an established liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry confirmatory method used for AMOZ residues.
CONCLUSIONThe cdELISA method developed in the present study is a convenient practical tool for screening large numbers of animal and fish tissue samples for the the detection of released protein bound AMOZ residues.

Sleep disorders are abnormalities in sleep duration or quality caused by factors that range from insomnia,circadian rhythm sleep disorders to abnormal behavioral disorders during sleep.Long-term sleep disorders may affect the emotions and physical strength of soldiers,impair their learning and cognitive ability,and even increase the prevalence of physical and mental diseases,which may be detrimental to their physical and mental health and combat effectiveness.This article is intended to review the current research progress in sleep disorders in military personal at home and abroad.

Chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)is a chronic,multi-system disease manifested as prolonged fatigue and often accompanied by somatization symptoms that include muscle pain and sleep disorders,which is why CFS impacts patients'life and health.However,the etiology of CFS remains unknown.There is no specific treatment as well.Treatments currently available mostly use specific medicines to treat specific symptoms or assist clinicians by such means as cognitive-behavioral therapies or nutritional support.While on long-distance voyages,the Navy soldiers spend a long time in relatively closed environments under high pressure,which is likely to result in physical and mental fatigue and even CFS.This paper reviews the causes,current level of diagnosis,as well as the treatment and prevention of CFS in order to contribute to the health and operational capability of Navy soldiers.

Sleep disorders are characterized by abnormal amounts of sleep and unusual behavior during sleep.Long-term sleep disorders can lead to the disruption of normal social functioning or neurological conditions.In recent years,the role of sound wave therapy in improving sleep quality has attracted much attention.This article aims to review the research progress related to the role of sound wave therapy in enhancing sleep quality,cognitive function,and alleviating fatigue in patients with sleep disorders in hopes of contributing to clinical applications.

Sleep disorders are characterized by difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep,excessive sleepiness,abnormalities of respiration during sleep,disturbances of the sleep-wake cycle and abnormal movements that disturb sleep.The incidence is increasing year by year,which causes a wide range of mental diseases and metabolic disorders,and impacts the health of soldiers.Sleep scales,regarded as one of the main methods for screening and diagnosing sleep disorders,are currently in the spotlight.This review describes the characteristics of different sleep scales in the hopes of providing data for proper selection of sleep scales in the assessments and diagnosis of different sleep disorders,and improving the sleep quality of soldiers.
