OBJECTIVETo detect the toxicity and teratogenicity of 2, 2-dinitroethene-1, 1-diamine (FOX-7) in rats.

METHODS125 adult SD rats were randomly divided into five groups, which are negative control (0 mg/kg) , positive control (280 mg/kg aspirin) , and three dose groups (5, 15, and 45 mg/kg) . They were administrated by gavage once a day from the 5th days to 19th days after pregnancy. The weight changes and toxicity of pregnant rats are recorded within the study, and the skeleton and internal organs malformations are detected by the recommended methods.

RESULTSAfter 5 or 6 days being poisoned, the pregnant rats appear significantly toxicity symptoms, such as exciting, irritability, and so on. The net weight raise in high dose group is less than the negative group, while the numbers of dead foetus in median and high dose groups are both more than that of negative group. Comparing with the negative group, the body weight and body lenghth of foetus rats in median and high dose groups, and the tail lenghth in high dose group are lower significantly. There are no external malformations in negative group and three dose groups. However, the foetus of high dose group appear significant skeleton and internal organs malformation prevalences that are significant more than negative group, including lateral cerebral ventricles enlarged, which accounts for 9.17%, occipital bone lost, which accounts for 2.59%.

CONCLUSIONFOX-7 can induced maternal reproductive toxicity, foetus toxicity and teratogenicity hazards to rats.

Objective:To investigate and compare the predictive effects of two postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prediction models in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy.Methods:The total of 227 elderly patients who underwent thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy in Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from October 2021 to January 2022 were collected. Apfel risk score and Koivuranta risk score were used to predict the risk of PONV in each patient. The area under the ROC curve was used to evaluate the discrimination ability of the two prediction models; Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test was used to evaluate the calibration of the two prediction models.Results:Among 227 patients, 74 had PONV, and the incidence of PONV was 32.6%. The area under the ROC curve of Apfel and Koivuranta risk scores in the risk prediction of PONV in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy were 0.640 and 0.683 respectively. There was no significant difference between the two ( Z=1.54, P>0.05). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the accuracy of the two models in predicting PONV risk in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy was better ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The difference between the two models in PONV risk prediction in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy is general, Koivuranta model is more suitable for predicting PONV in elderly patients with thoracoscopic partial pneumonectomy, but its applicability is still insufficient.
