Release date: 2015-06-26

"Patients are expected to be released from isolation in recent days." On June 25, Song Tie, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview with this reporter that the test results showed that China's first imported Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) patient was Korea. In the blood, feces and sputum of Renjin, the MERS virus test results were negative. Previously, the blood specimen of Jin was negative for many days, but the sputum and stool test still had occasional positive conditions. According to the diagnostic criteria for relieving isolation, the test results of blood, sputum and feces must be negative twice at the same time. Only can be quarantined.

Song Tie said that Kim will be tested again. At present, Kim is in a good state of mind. Disassociation means that Kim is no longer contagious and can leave the intensive care unit of the intensive care unit but still cannot leave the hospital. "The treatment will also be treated in a separate ward. Since there is no underlying disease, this stage will not be too long. After consultation with the medical expert group, it is decided whether or not they have discharge conditions." Song Tie said.

In addition, the relevant person in charge of the Health and Family Planning Bureau of Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, said that because MERS is a new infectious disease, serum and urine tests are all checked with new equipment purchased urgently. In order to save Jinmou, only equipment investment has reached more than 8 million yuan. Jin’s treatment costs are nearly 200,000 yuan.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea confirmed on the 24th that a Chinese woman infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in South Korea was discharged from hospital on June 22.

It is reported that the Korean side will bear the full hospitalization fee for this patient.

Epichlorohydrin (ECH)

Epichlorohydrin, 3-Chloro-1, 2 - epoxypropene, chloropropylene oxide ,ECH .

Molecular Formula: CH2OCHCH2Cl, C3H5OCl

Properties: It is a volatile, unstable colorless liquid with irritating odor similar to chloroform and ether. Molecular weight is 92.85, density, 1.1806g/cm3, boiling point, 116.11°C, freezing point, -57.2°C, refractive index (nd20), 1.4382, flash point (open cup), 40.6°C, and ignition point, 415°C. It is slightly soluble in water, miscible with many organic solvents, and able to generate azeotrope with a variety of organic liquids.

Main Applications:
Epichlorohydrin is an important organic industrial chemical and a chlorine-consuming product in fine chemicals, mainly for producing epoxy resin, synthetic glycerin, epichlorohydrin rubber, nitroglycerine explosives, glass fiber reinforced plastics, and electrical insulation products, which are widely used in the chemical industry, light industry, transportation, medicine, electronics and other fields. It also can be used as solvent for cellulose ester, resin, and cellulose ether, and the raw material of plasticizer, stabilizer, surfactant, and chloroprene rubber.

Toxicity and Protection: It is highly toxic, absorbed through the skin, and irritating to skin and mucous membranes. In higher concentrations, it has the function of narcotism. When poisoning occurs, there will be eye irritation, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, lacrimation, cough, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, nausea and other symptoms. Serious poisoning may lead to anesthesia or even lung, liver or kidney damages. Lethal concentration of human beings is 20ppm. Lethal dose of rat is 5090mg/kg. The maximum allowable concentration in air is 5ppm (18mg/m3). Production equipment needs to be closed, air, circulating, and the operator, wear protective equipment. In addition, due to intense auto polymerization, epichlorohydrin can not be heated in the fire in case of container burst. As for reaction as reagent, it is appropriate to be diluted with inert solvent and slowly added.

Packaging, Storage and Transport:
As ferric chloride or stannic chloride can promote auto polymerization, epichlorohydrin should be stored in dry, clean iron barrel, 200kg each, and kept in a cool, ventilated, and dry place, away from fire and heat. Store and transport in accordance with the provisions of flammable toxic substances.
