ABSTRACT
This paper analyzed the clinical data of 17 patients with inhalation dimethyl sulfate poisoning in Changzhou Third People's Hospital, in order to understand the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of patients with inhalation dimethyl sulfate poisoning, and guide clinicians to make effective measures in time. Dimethyl sulfate poisoning progresses rapidly and dangerously. The prognosis is usually better if the patients are separated from the toxic environment as soon as possible, given glucocorticoids in early and short-term, closely observed respiratory tract injury, and treated with endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation when necessary.

The advancement and popularization of molecular diagnostic techniques has challenged and redefined the traditional concept of genetic metabolic disease. Regardless of disease origin, all genetic defects that lead to hepatobiliary dysfunction or structural abnormalities are termed as genetic liver disorders. Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) is a database consisting 693 genetic diseases with clear molecular mechanism of liver related phenotypes. Moreover, the effective measures to control infectious liver disease have strengthened the importance of research in the field of (adult and children) genetic liver disorders at home and abroad by well-recognized hepatologists. Notably, all patients with unexplained hepatopathy and multiple system diseases involving liver and gallbladder needs screening for genetic liver disorders, except for factors such as infection, immunity, drug-related, and anatomical abnormalities. We hope more patients with complicated liver disorders will benefit from definitive diagnosis and effective treatment in the near future with clear explanation of clinical phenotype, genotype, and metabolomics.
