The left and right cardiac function of 11 patients with chronic mountain sickness was studied before and after oxygen administration. It was found that after pure oxygen was inhaled, the internal diameter of the right ventricle, the ratio between right and left ventrcular diameters, and the heart rate were decreased significantly, while the ?-wave excursion of the pulmonary valve and the EF slope of the mitral valve were increased obviously. However there was no change of the systolic time interval of both the ventricles and of the left ventricular systolic function. The results suggest that oxygen inhalation could relieve hypoxic pulmonary hypertension and improve left ventricular diastolic function.

AIM:To investigate the roles of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1(ET-1) in regulation of coronary vascular reserve (CVR) during hypoxia.METHODS: CVR were measured with 99m TC radiolabelled frog RBC, the changes of NO-2,ET-1 contents, nitric oxide synthase(NOS) activity and the myocardial morphometry were observed. RESULTS: (1) Acute hypoxia caused an increase in left and right ventricular myocardial blood flow,myocardial NO-2,ET-1 contents,NOS activity,but CVR in the left and right ventricle were decreased compared with the control group.(2) Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia for 90 days did not lead to significant change in left ventricular CVR,myocardial ET-1/NO-2 ratio. However, right ventricular myocardial ET-1 contents,ET-1/ NO-2 ratio were increased,right ventricular CVR and myocardial NO-2 contents were decreased. We also observed that perivascular collagen,arterial wall thickness in right ventricle, hematocrit,RV weight index were augmented. CONCLUSION: Rest myocardial blood flow was increased,CVR was decreased;The decreased coronary vascular reserve during chronic hypoxia might be resulted from the increased hematocrit,arterial wall thickness,perivascular collagen,ET-1 content, the decreased NO content and right ventricular hypertrophy

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of A.baumannii during the last five years in our hospital,the basis for the reasonable clinical use of antibiotic was provided to doctor.Methods The strains of A.baumannii isolated from clinical specimens during 2009-2013 were analyzed by VITEK-32 system,the antibiotic resistance was analyzed by WHONET5.4 software.Results A.baumannii strains were mainly isolated from sputum,accounting for 77.3%;the majority of the strains were isolated from ICU,accounting for 42.3%;the resistance rates of A.baumannii to antibiotics appeared increasing,and over 70% except cefoperazone-sulbactam and imipenem.Conclusion A.baumannii is the major pathogen,and detection rate of A.baumannii is very high,antibiotic resistance status of A.baumannii is very serious.The management of antibiotic application should be strengthened,and the occurrence and prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria should be strictly controlled to prevent outbreak and epidemic of nosocomial infection.

The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.
