Objective To study the variation of blood concentration of tetramine in human body with acute tetramine intoxication treated with three different protocols and the levels in human body after discharge from the hos-pital. Methods The blood concentration of tetramine was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). All 101 patients of acute tetramine intoxication were divided into 3 groups (routine comprehensive treat-ment group,hemoperfusion group,blood transfusion group) according to their blood concentration of tetramine and clinical symptoms. The patients were followed up to monitor the tetramine levels in a year. Results The level of tet-famine in blood was decreased from 33.0(1.7～115.0)μg/L to 18.0(0.3～47.6)μg/L in routine comprehensive treatment group. The total decrement was 45.5 %. The level was decreased from 108.0 (54.0～290.0)μg/L to 26.0 μg/L in hemoperfusion group. The total decrement was 75.9%. The decrement was 20.0%～45.0% after each he-moperfusion. The level was slightly high after 24 h of hemoperfusion. The total decrement in blood transfusion group was 33.5%～60.0%. The level was <0.3μg/L in all 25 out-patients 1 year after their intoxication. Conclusion Routine comprehensive treatment,hemoperfusion,blood transfusion are effective in the treatment of acute tetramine intoxication. The degradation of tetramine in human body is slow.

Objective The imaging quality and irradiation dose were compared between scatter filtering template performance and conventional grid in digital radiography.MethodsImages of contrast-detail phantom and ROC statistic phantom corrected with scatter filtering template method and grid were obtained,respectively.The image quality factors(IQF)and sihnal detection probability values(Pdet)and imaging dose were analyzed by ANOVA,SNK and t test statistics for the two methods of scatter removing.ResultsThe difference of IQF and signal detection probability of images corrected by scatter filtering template technique and conventional snd Was statistically significant.ConclusionsIn digital radiography,STFF can effectively filter scattering,improve image quality without increasing the exposure.With the same image quality.it can reduce the entrance surface dose by about 30% than filter grid.In order to effectively filter scattering,improve the quality of X-ray image,and reduce the patient dose.STFF is an alternative method.
