RESUMO
Objective:To explore the clinical value of urine semi-quantitative colorimetry by sodium dithionite reduction method in the diagnosis and treatment of diquat poisoning.Methods:The data of 49 patients with acute diquat poisoning treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 3, 2020 to November 23, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, the correlation between urine colorimetric results and plasma diquat concentration was observed, and the predictive value of urine colorimetric results for target organ damage and prognosis were evaluated.Results:There was a significant correlation between urine colorimetric results and plasma diquat concentration, the correlation coefficient was r=0.89, P <0.01. The cut-off value of urine colorimetry for the predicting the damage of gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidney, and central nervous system injury were 2.5, 3.5, 3.5, 5.5, respectively; in which the urine colorimetric results showed the highest sensitivity in predicting digestive tract injury [ AUC 0.93 (95% CI:0.89-1.00)]. The cut-off value of urine colorimetry for the prognosis of death was 4.5, the positive predictive value was 64.2%, and the negative predictive value was 95.2%. Conclusions:The urine semi-quantitative method can be used for rapid prediction of the plasma diquat concentration range on admission. The urine colorimetry results can also effectively predict the occurrence of organ injury and clinical outcome related to diquat poisoning, which provides evidence for the clinical diagnosis and therapy.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate whether the macromolecular materials could enter cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissues in craniotomy with incision or non-incision of dura and arachnoid. Methods Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table. The dura and arachnoid of rats in group A were cut open during craniotomy after general anesthesia; epidural craniotomy was done in rats in group B after general anesthesia; rats in group C (control group) were only generally anesthetized. All the rats were injected with Evans blue, a tracer used to detect the results, half an hour before each time point (1,3, 6, 12, 24, 72 hours and 1 week) via vein. The rats were executed at each time point to obtain the specimens of brain. The content of Evans blue in brain tissue was measured by fluorescence spectrophotometer for statistical analysis. The water content in the brain tissue was measured in a part of rats selected in groups A and B preoperatively and at postoperative 3 and 27 hours. Results It was found that some regions of the brain tissue were stained light blue in group A at 1,3, 6 and 24 hours. The blue was much lighter in brain tissue obtained at 72 hours in group A, and no blue stained at 1 week in group A . The contents of Evans blue in the brain tissues of rats in group A at 1,3, 6, 12, 24, 72 hours and 1 week were (18.07±1.25) μg/ml, (36.21±0.78) μg/ml, (25.73±1.14) μg/ml, (16.53±0.84) μg/ml, (23.34±1.91) μg/ml, (43.34±2.25) μg/ml and (25.27±1.88)μg/ml respectively, which were significantly higher than (3.15±0.45)μg/ml, (3.36±0.33)μg/ml, (2.98±0.54)μg/ml, (3.47±0.55)μg/ml, (3.54±0.37) μg/ml, (2.88± 0.42) μg/ml and (2.85±0.22) μg/ml respectively in group B and (2.97±0.37)μg/ml in group C (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in water content in brain tissue before and after operation (P>0.05). Conclusion After craniotomy with incision of dura and arachnoid, some macromolecular materials can enter the subarachnoid space and the brain parenehyma through blood-brain barrier of the wound of the scalp if the dura is sutured loosely.

RESUMO
Objective To explore the significance of complement split product C4d in monitoring chronic rejection of renal allografts in rats.Methods Healthy closed population rats were used as donors and SD rats as recipients. The Wistar to SD model of graft rejection was developed. All the 42 recipients were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A receiving nothing except CsA (5mg?kg~ -1 ? d~ -1 ) in the first 10 days after operation, and group B receiving MMF (10 mg/kg) and CsA after operation. On the 3rd, 5th and 10th week, all the allografts were tested by light microscopy and immunofluorescence. Pathological changes of the kidneys and the expression of C4d in allograft tissue were observed.Results From the 3rd week, the rats in group A showed light pathological changes of chronic rejection and they became more and more obvious as time increased. Pathological changes occurred in group B at the 5th week and lighter than in group A. At the same time, C4d deposition in PTC was obviously observed on the 3rd week in group A, and on the 10th week C4d widespread deposition in allografts.Conclusion The deposition of complement split product C4d in allografts appears earlier than pathological change of chronic rejection, which can be regarded as a significant indicator to predict chronic rejection of renal allografts.
