Abstract: Organophosphate (OP) nerve agents and pesticides are potent inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Though oxime nucleophiles can reactivate an AChE-phosphyl adduct, the adduct can undergo a reaction called aging, leading to an aged-AChE adduct. The invention provides compounds and methods that can be used to reactivate an aged-AChE adduct. Such compounds and methods are useful to counteract organophosphorus poisoning.

Abstract: A method for packaging a desk is described. The top, front, back, left side, and right side of the desk is covered with a plastic bag. A cord is placed around the top, front, bottom, and rear of the desk. A plurality of front and rear horizontal V-shaped cardboard strips are placed under the cord and onto the edges of the desk residing under the cord. The front and rear horizontal V-shaped cardboard strips are strapped in place. A cord is placed around the left-side, top, right side, and bottom of the desk. A plurality of side horizontal V-shaped cardboard strips are placed under the cord and onto the edges of the desk residing under the cord. The side horizontal V-shaped cardboard strips are strapped in place. A cord is placed around the left side, front, right side, and back of the desk. A plurality of vertical V-shaped cardboard strips are placed under the cord and onto the edges of the desk residing under the cord. The vertical V-shaped cardboard strips are strapped in place.
