| Research Abstract |
1. We confirmed a modified technique with high pressure liquid chromatography to measure fenitrothion and its metabolite, 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP) in blood and urine. Recovery of standards in blood was 92.1 <plus-minus> 3.00% for fenitrothion and 90.0 <plus-minus> 2.92% for MNP. That in urine was 73.5 <plus-minus> 4.26% for fenitrothion and 88.2 <plus-minus> 1.65%
2. Acetylcholinesterase activity in erythrocyte was measured by a modification of the method described by Ellman.
3. Serial determination of fenitrothion and MNP in five cases of acute poisoning exhibited that (1) fenitrothion concentration in serum often re-increased after the initial drop, which might cause the relapse of symptoms, and (2) PAM might have an effect on the metabolism of fenitrothion to MNP.
4. Serial determination of cholinesterases activity in 17 cases of acute organo-phosphate poisoning exhibited that (1) recovery of the enzyme activity either in serum or in erythrocyte consisted of three phases --- initial low, linear increase, and plateau, (2) in fenitrothion poisoning, the linear increase of cholinesterase activity in serum roughly accompanied improvement of symptoms, and the slope of the regression showed production rate of the enzyme, and (3) recovery of erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase activity, the rate of which appeared that of erythrocyte synthesis, started several days later than cholinesterase activity in serum.
