Analysis:

In the list of the first batch of medicinal and edible Chinese herbal medicines issued by the Ministry of Health of China, there are seven kinds of nuts or seeds, all of which are rich in nutrition, including almonds. Almond can be divided into bitter almond and sweet almond. The former is mostly used as medicine, while the latter is mostly used in food. Almond has a long history in China, which is both medicine and health food. Medically speaking, almond is a commonly used Chinese medicine. Its nature is bitter and pungent, and it can enter the lungs and spleen. Many ancient medical documents have recorded the efficacy of almonds. For example, the theory of medicinal properties points out that almonds can treat heart and lung diseases and also have health care effects on throat and vocal cords. In Compendium of Materia Medica, it is said that almonds are beneficial to the five internal organs-heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. Edible, almonds are rich in protein and monounsaturated fatty acids, which together account for more than 70% of the total weight. In addition, there are many trace elements in almonds that are beneficial to human body. For example, every100g of almonds contains 202 mg of phosphorus, which is much higher than that of ordinary food. Almond is rich in nutrition, which makes many famous dietotherapy products related to it. For example, what is the price of BAIC? Blow painting electroplating? Want to steal a pregnant woman's boat with a broken leg and a broken lung? Binding capsules? 塇塇 4 Send? You are especially good at dressing. You are particularly good at service. ⑿ You are especially good at choosing? For a long time, people have been looking for a pure natural drink that can effectively supplement calcium without any side effects. Pursuing pure natural health means that food is collected from the wild, not refined products such as artificial seasonings. Almonds are harvested from northern China, such as Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Hebei, Jilin and other places. They are full of high quality, safe and pollution-free. Nutritionally speaking, almond contains 24%-25% of high-quality protein, contains all-round amino acids, and is rich in trace elements such as calcium, zinc and selenium. Its digestibility is higher than that of ordinary animal protein, so it is a real natural healthy food. Lulu brand almond dew takes wild almonds as the main raw material, which fully retains the effective health-care components of almonds and removes unnecessary harmful components from human body. It is a pure, pure, sweet and delicious natural vegetable protein beverage with unique flavor.

Apricots are sour and hot, which has the function of preventing miscarriage. Because of the heavy fetal fever during pregnancy, the principle of "clearing before delivery" should generally be followed. The heat of apricots and the characteristics of abortion are taboo for pregnant women. Almond contains hydrocyanic acid, which can suffocate tissues. Children will die if they eat 7 ~ 10 almonds. Therefore, in order to prevent toxic substances from affecting the fetus through the placental barrier, pregnant women are forbidden to eat almonds.

(bitter almond)

Alias bitter almond, almond, Mu Zi, almond.

The effects of lowering qi, relieving cough and asthma, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels.

Adverse reaction mechanism bitter almond contains amygdalin, which is hydrolyzed to produce hydrocyanic acid, causing poisoning. Hydrocyanic acid is a protoplasm poison, which quickly combines with cytochrome oxidase after invading human body, blocking the shaking reduction of Fe3+, stopping the biological redox of cytochrome A and C, causing tissue asphyxia and toxic hypoxia in cells. However, its effect on the central nervous system is excited first and then paralyzed, and respiratory paralysis is the main cause of death from hydrocyanic acid poisoning.

After the poisoning of adverse reactions, there are symptoms of mucosal erosion, such as bitter mouth, itchy throat, burning sensation, salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure, unconsciousness, cyanosis of lips, shortness of breath, etc., and then it becomes slow and irregular. At the same time, I can smell bitter almond, fear and pain in my upper chest. In severe cases, unconsciousness, incontinence, dilated pupils, loss of light reflex, intensity spasm and cyanosis, closed teeth, increased body temperature, liver swelling, disappearance or weakening of reflex, and finally shallow breathing, extremely irregular tidal breathing, cold limbs, deep coma, shock, and death from respiratory paralysis and suffocation. Breathing often stops before heartbeat, and the patient's blood is bright red and not coagulated. Autopsy can find that the stomach, lungs, liver, kidney and spleen are congested or spotted, and the central nervous system changes to meningoedema.

Treatment and rescue

(1) If poisoning symptoms appear within 4 hours after eating, fully lavage the stomach with 1: 2000 ~ 1: 5000 potassium permanganate solution, plenty of clean water or 3% hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, then take 2g sodium thiosulfate, or lavage the stomach with 10% sodium thiosulfate solution, and leave 660.

(2) Combination of sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate: Nitrite can form methemoglobin with hemoglobin, while cyanide ion (CN- 1) can combine with methemoglobin to form methemoglobin cyanide, thus relieving the inhibition of cyanide ion on cell respiratory enzymes. However, methemoglobin cyanide gradually dissociates and releases cyanide ions after several minutes, so sodium thiosulfate should be injected immediately to form stable thiocyanate with cyanide ions and excreted with urine. Specific usage:

1) quickly take 1 ~ 2 isoamyl nitrite, break it, and let the patient inhale it through the nose and mouth for about 15 ~ 30 seconds, and then inhale it according to the above method after 2 minutes. This can be repeated several times according to the situation, but the total amount should not exceed 5 ~ 6 times.

2) At the same time, use 10 ~ 20ml of 3% sodium nitrite solution as soon as possible, and slowly inject it intravenously (about 2 ~ 3m 1 per minute). Once the blood pressure drops, stop taking medicine immediately, and use antihypertensive drugs (adrenaline is not allowed), oxygen inhalation and blood transfusion if necessary.

3) Immediately after sodium nitrite injection, inject 25 ~ 50ml of 50% sodium thiosulfate into the same needle tube, and if necessary, repeat half or full injection after half an hour (0.25 ~ 0.5g/kg for children).

(3) If there is no sodium nitrite, methylene blue can be added to 40 ml of 5% glucose solution at a dose of 10 mg/kg, and then sodium thiosulfate is injected, but the curative effect is not as good as sodium nitrite.

(4) Cobalt edetate can be added to 50% glucose solution at the ratio of 5 ~ 15 mg/kg, and can be reused for 8 ~ 10 times if necessary. The binding force of this product with cyano group is greater than cytochrome oxidase, and O.8g cobalt edetate can bind O. 1g cyanide.

(5) The aldehyde group of glucose can combine with cyanide ions to form nontoxic nitrile. Intravenous injection of hypertonic glucose solution can promote the excretion of poisons and prevent and treat brain edema and pulmonary edema.

(6) Symptomatic treatment: respiratory stimulants, cardiotonic agents, sedatives and pressors are given when necessary, and cytochrome C is given in severe cases, and other treatments such as oxygen inhalation and artificial respiration are given according to the circulation and breathing conditions.

(7) Chinese medicine treatment:

1) apricot root 60 ~ 90g, decocted every 4 hours 1 time.

2) Raw radish or cabbage 1 ~ 1.5 kg, mashed to get juice, added with appropriate amount of brown sugar or white sugar, and stirred evenly.

3) 0.5 kg of water spinach root is mashed and taken with boiling water.

4) 9 grams of Ramulus Cinnamomi, Linderae and Radix Paeoniae Rubra, 65,438 0.5 grams of Carthamus tinctorius and Peach kernel, and 65,438 0.5 grams of cinnabar (orally), decocted in water and taken separately in the morning and evening.

5) licorice and jujube. 120g, decocted in water.

6) 60g mung bean, decocted in water and taken orally with white sugar.
