Objective To improve the prognosis among patients with respiratory failure poisoned by organophosphorus pesticide though analyzing and discussing the emergency measures and treatment effects. Methods From January 2014 to December 2016, 86 patients with respiratory failure caused by severe organophosphorus pesticide poisoning were received in the Emergency Department in Nanchong Central Hospital.The patients were numbered according to the order of the treatment and randomly divided into control group and observation group with 43 cases in each group.All patients were treated with routine emergency measures (gastric lavage and endotracheal intubation, rehydration, and symptomatic treatment).The control group was treated with pralidoxime chloride injection and injection of atropine detoxification while the observation group was given pralidoxime chloride combined with Penehyclidine Hydrochloride Injection detoxification.We compared the alleviation of clinical symptoms and the changes of cholinesterase (CHE) and respiratory function (respiratory frequency, Pa02, Pa02/Fi02) between the two groups of patients 10 min and 30 min after administration. The statistics of atropinization time, blood purification treatment rate, tracheotomy rate, hospital mortality,complications and treatment time were recorded. Results No statistic significance was observed among the two groups of patients in gender,age, weight,body mass index (BMI),the severity of poisoning,types of organophosphorus drugs and blood cholinesterase (CHE) at the first visit (P>0.05).Blood CHE was effectively improved among the two groups 10 min and 30 min after the treatment and significantly higher CHE was seen in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0.05) . The overall clinical symptom rate was lower 10min and 30min after the treatment (P< 0.05), and the clinical symptom rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05) . The respiratory function indexes (respiratory rate, Pa02, Pa02/Fi02) were significantly improved 10 min and 30 min after the treatment in both groups compared with those before the treatment (P< 0.05) .The blood purification treatment rate, tracheotomy rate, complication rate, hospitalization time and atropine time of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P< 0.05) . No significant difference was found in mortality rate between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion After giving effective respiration and circulation support, administration of penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with pralidoxime chloride detoxification can effectively restore the cholinesterase activity among patients with organophosphorus pesticide poisoning and improve respiratory function and prognosis, whichshows a high clinical value.

Objective:To determine the clinicopathological significance of the DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B)overexpression in endometrial carcinomas and to evaluate its correlation with hormone re-ceptor status.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expression of DNMT3B and hormone receptors in 104 endometrial carcinomas.Results:DNMT3B overexpression occurred frequently in endometrioid carcinoma (EC,54.8%)more than in nonendometrioid carcinoma (NEC,30.0%) with statistical significance (P =0.028).Furthermore,there was a trend that EC with worse clinico-pathological variables and shorter survival had a higher DNMT3B expression,and the correlation between DNMT3B and tumor grade reached statistical significance (P =0.019).A negative correlation between DNMT3B and estrogen receptor (ER)or progesterone receptor (PR)expression was found in EC. NMT3B overexpression occurred frequently in the ER or PR negative subgroups (78.9%,86.7%)more than in the positive subgroups (47.7%,47.8%)with statistical significance (P =0.016,P =0.006). In addition,the DNMT3B overexpression increased in tumors with both ER and PR negative expression (92.9%,P =0.002).However,no such correlation was found in NEC (P >0.05).Sequence analyses demonstrated multiple ER and PR binding sites in the promoter regions of DNMT3B gene.Conclusion:This study showed that the expression of DNMT3B in EC and NEC was different.DNMT3B overexpres-sion in EC was associated with the worse clinicopathological variables and might have predictive value. The methylation status of EC and NEC maybe different.In addition,in EC,DNMT3B overexpression negatively correlated with ER or PR expression.In NEC,the correlation between DNMT3B and ER or PR status was not present.

Phytoestrogens, which can bind with estrogen receptor and produce estrogen-like effects, are a kind of nonsteroidal compound in plant. Phytoestrogens chemically include isoflavones, coumarins, lignans and other compounds. Phytoestrogens are selective estrogen receptor modulator, and have therapeutical effects on breast cancer, prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis and other disease, however, do not produce stimulatory hyperplasia effects on uterus, mammary glands and other tissues and organs with positive estrogen receptor. Long-term exposure or excessive use of phytoestrogens maybe affects male reproductive system and hematopoietic function of fetus. Some questions need to be further studied, such as evaluation criteria on biological activity, adverse effects, and action mechanism of phytoestrogen. This review covers plant sources, chemical structure, pharmacological activity and safety of phytoestrogens. It will provide a useful reference for intensive research and rational utilization the phytoestrogens.
