This paper analyzed the clinical data of 17 patients with inhalation dimethyl sulfate poisoning in Changzhou Third People's Hospital, in order to understand the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of patients with inhalation dimethyl sulfate poisoning, and guide clinicians to make effective measures in time. Dimethyl sulfate poisoning progresses rapidly and dangerously. The prognosis is usually better if the patients are separated from the toxic environment as soon as possible, given glucocorticoids in early and short-term, closely observed respiratory tract injury, and treated with endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation when necessary.

OBJECTIVETo develop a headspace gas chromatography method for determining dimethyl sulphate residual in granisetron hydrochloride.

METHODSAn Angilent INNOWAX capillary column with nitrogen gas as carrier and FID as detector was applied in this study. Dimethyl sulphate was tested under a constant column temperature.

RESULTDimethyl sulphate had different retention time from other organic solvents such as alcohol,acetoacetate, isopropanol, dichlormethane and chloroform, which might exist in granisetron hydrochloride. The detection limit of dimethyl sulphate;s was 0.0016%.

CONCLUSIONThe method can be used for the determination of dimethyl sulphate residual in granisetron hydrochloride.

OBJECTIVETo observe the treating effect of collage-heparin sulfate after the 10 mm rat sciatic nerve defect was bridged by it.

METHODSA new kind of nervous tissue engineering scaffold was produced by freeze-drying technique from collagen-heparin sulfate. Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into A, B, C and D groups. Sciatic nerve defect in group A was bridged by collagen-heparin sulfate. In group B, sciatic nerve was bridged by auto-nerve transplantation. Group C was the blank control group. Animals in group D were normal. And 10 mm sciatic nerve defect was bridged in the experiment. Thirty-six weeks after the operation, the experimental animals were detected by HRP labeled retrograde trace, HE staining, toluidine staining, silvering staining, S100, GAP-43 and NF immunohistological staining, MBP immunofluorescence staining and transmission electron microscope to observe the nerve regeneration inducing effect of this new scaffold.

RESULTSNine months after operation, the collage-heparin sulfate scaffold was replaced by newly regenerated nerve. The number of HRP labeled spinal cord anterior horn cells and the area of sensation nerve fiber at the posterior horn were similar with that was repaired by auto-nerve. GAP-43, NF and S100 labeled regenerated nerve fiber had passed the total scaffold and entered the distal terminal. The regenerated nerve fibers were paralleled, lineage arranged, coincide with the prearranged regenerating "channel" in the collagen-heparin sulfate scaffold. MBP immunofluorescence staining also proved that the newly regenerated nerve fiber could be ensheathed. In the experimental group, the area of myelinated nerve fiber and the thickness of the myelin sheath had no obvious difference with that of the group repaired by auto-nerve, except that the density of the regenerated myelinated sheath fiber was lower than that of the control group.

CONCLUSIONNervous tissue engineering scaffold produced by collagen-heparin sulfate can guide the regeneration of nerve fibers. The nerve function recovers fine. This kind of material has great application potential.

The diethyl sulfate (DES) mutagenesis was chosen for the mutagenic treatment to Phellinus igniarius, and the relationship of mutagenesis time and death rate was investigated with 0.5% DES. The differences of mycelial growth speed, liquid fermentation mycelia biomass, morphology and pigment classes of secondary metabolites production speed and antioxidant activities of metabolite products were discussed. The study displayed that DES mutagenesis could change mycelial morphology without obvious effect on mycelium growth, and the DES mutagenesis improved antioxidant activities of the active ingredients of P. igniarius and had more antioxidant activity of hypoxia/sugar PC12 nerve cells than that of P. igniarius.

OBJECTIVE: To develop criteria to assess injuries due to diethyl sulfate poisoning. METHODS: Patients were evaluated with respect to their toxic status and outcomes, in comparison to typical cases. RESULTS: Among 44 poisoned patients, 4 patients were classified as major injuries, 4 person as minor injuries, and the rest of 36 patients were classified as not poisoned according to poisoning diagnostic criteria by No.GBZ40-2002 "Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Acute Diethyl Sulfate Poisoning". CONCLUSION In assessment of the injuries caused by diethyl sulfate poisoning, one should follow diagnostic criteria set by National Occupational Acute Poisoning due to Chemicals and Drugs and "Criteria for Assessment of Human Body Injury."
