Objective To investigate the valuable echocardiographic parameters and to evaluate theright heart function of patients with pulmonary hypertension in ICU. Methods From March 2015 to February 2016,30 patients with pulmonary hypertension in the intensive care unit(ICU) of Dongzhimen hospital were enrolled in the experimental group,and another 33 patients without pulmonary hypertension in ICU were enrolled in the control group. All of the patients were given bedside echocardiography examination. Results Significant differences in the right atrial diameter and area ,the base diameter of the right ventricle ,the intermediate diameter portion ,the distal inner diameter of the proximal end of the right ventricular outflow tract ,the main pulmonary artery diameter ,the Tei index and the E/A were observed between the two groups. However ,no significant differences in the right ventricular free wall thickness,TAPSE,RVFAC,VREF and DT were foundbetween the two groups. Conclusion Tei index,the diameter of the right heart and the main pulmonary artery diameter are proposed to be the promising echocardiographic parameters to evaluate the right heart function of patients with pulmonary hypertension in ICU.

In order to improve the accuracy for quantitating the bovine foamy virus(BFV)in vitro,we developed a baby hamster kidney cell(BHK)-21-derived indicator cell line containing a plasmid that encodes the firefly luciferase driven by the BFV long terminal repeat promoter(LTR,from -7 to 1012). The BFV titer could be determined by detecting the luciferase expression since the viral trans-activator BTas protein activates the promoter activity of the LTR. One clone,designated BFVL,was selected from ten neomycin-resistant clones.BFVL showed a specific and inducible dose-and time-dependent luciferase activity in response to BFV infection.Although the changes in luciferase activity of BFVL peaked at 84 h post infection,it was possible to differentiate infected and uninfected cells at 48 h post infection. A linear relationship was established between the multiplicity of infection(MOI)of BFV and the activated ratio of luciferase expression in BFVL. Moreover,the sensitivity of the BFVL-based assay for detecting infectious BFV was 10,000 times higher than the conventional CPE-based assay at 48 h post infection. These findings suggest that the BFVL-based assay is rapid,easy,sensitive,quantitative and specific for detection of BFV infection.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatible stability of Xiao'aiping injection combined with 3 kinds of common in-jections. METHODS:Referring to package inserts,Xiao'aiping injection 40 mL was compatible with 5% Glucose injection,10%Glucose injection or 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 160 mL,respectively. At room temperature(about 25 ℃)and high tempera-ture(40 ℃),the appearance of mixtures were observed at 0,1,2,4,8,12,24,48 h;pH value and the number of insoluble particles were detected. The contents of tenacissoside A and tenacissoside Ⅰ in mixtures were determined by HPLC. RESULTS:Un-der above condition,the mixtures were brownish yellow liquid within 48 h after Xiao'aiping injection was compatible with 5%Glucose injection or 10% Glucose injection;24 h after mixed with 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,the mixture changed from brownish yellow to reddish brown,but no precipitation was found. The pH value of mixtures had no significant change(RSD<1%,n=8). The number of particles ≥25 μm was in line with the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopeia(2015 edition). For-ty-eight hours after mixing,the number of particles ≥10 μm in the mixtures exceeded the pharmacopoeia limits. Within 48 h after mixing,the relative contents of tenacissoside A and tenacissoside I in mixtures had no significant change(RSD<2%,n=8). CON-CLUSIONS:The mixture should be used up within 24 h after Xiao'aiping injection combined with 5% Glucose injection,10%Glucose injection or 0.9% Sodium chloride injection.

Objectives:To evaluate essential medicines accessibility from the availability, drug price level and affordability perspective in Beijing. Methods:Data was collected from a sample of a Beijing social security database on diabetes in 2013 and a field research on 4 primary healthcare institutions. The essential medicine equipping rate, medium price ratio ( MPR) and poverty-inducing effect were selected as accessibility indicators. Results:Among 21 sample drugs, the nitrendipine, magnesium sulfate, sodium nitroprusside, prazosin, phentolamine and glyburide e-quipping rates are less than 15%. The 9 sample drugs MPR varied from 1. 3 to 27. 4. The hypertension, hyper-lipemia and diabete poverty-inducing rate varied from 0. 44% to 0. 70% in urban areas, and varied from 1. 17% to 1. 88% in rural areas. Conclusion:Some essential medicines in Beijing are equipped with a very low rate, but have a high price level, and the poverty-inducing population is large. We recommend strengthening the monitoring of es-sential medicines accessibility and introducing appropriate supporting policies.

Objective:The surveillance results of brucellosis in Lushan County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province are analyzed to provide basis for formulating prevention and control strategies.Methods:Retrospective analysis method was used to collect the surveillance data from Lushan County Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Animal Husbandry Department from 2011 to 2019. Descriptive statistical analysis was made on the serological, pathogenic of brucellosis.Results:From 2011 to 2019, 15 943 high-risk people were investigated, and 10 834 were serologically tested, with a positive detection rate of 23.11% (2 504/10 834). Among them, the positive detection rate of brucellosis serum increased rapidly in 2013 and decreased after 2016. The positive detection rate was 25.87% (1 593/6 157) in men and 19.48% (911/4 677) in women. The age of positive detection was mainly 40-< 70 years old, accounting for 70.45% (1 764/2 504). The positive detection rate of farmers in all occupations was the highest, which was 25.97% (2 242/8 634). There were significant differences in the positive detection rates among different gender, age and occupation (χ 2=61.163, 27.855, 257.412, P < 0.01). A total of 578 blood samples from patients with acute brucellosis were isolated and cultured, 215 strains of Brucella were detected, and the positive detection rate was 37.20%. Conclusions:The high-risk group of human brucellosis in Lushan County, Pingdingshan City is middle-aged and elderly male farmers engaged in aquaculture. It is suggested that the joint prevention and control measures should be strengthened, the health education of high-risk groups should be strengthened, and comprehensive prevention and control measures should be taken to control the occurrence and prevalence of brucellosis.
