Microgravity in space will lead to the decline of astronauts'motor sensation,which will affect the ability of balance maintenance and posture control.Which limits the ability of astronauts to quickly get out of danger in case of extravehicular activities or landing emergencies,and seriously affects the completion of space missions and endangers the safety of astronauts.The current weightlessness countermeasure based on exercise can effectively alleviate the problems of skeletal muscle and cardiovascular system caused by weightlessness to a certain extent,but it cannot effectively prevent the motor sensory dysfunction after space flight.Therefore,new weightlessness countermeasures of special physical conditioning are needed to attenuate the decline of human balance control ability after long-term space flight.By reviewing the previous research results of space flight and simulated weightlessness experiments,this paper systematically analyzes the influencing factors of human body balance control,compares the balance control promotion schemes of special physical conditioning in the field of sports,and puts forward the potential protection strategies for weightlessness environment based on the integration of sports and medicine.The feedback regulation of muscle tension,tactile and proprioceptive play an important role in human posture balance and motion control.The unloading of human gravity load in space weightlessness environment will greatly reduce the input-output feedback regulation activity of the above senses which may lead to balance dysfunction.The post-flight balance control dysfunction may be improved by special physical conditioning,such as loading of z-axial load,enhancement of tactile feedback and proprioceptive response based on unstable mechanical stress stimulation during spaceflight.

Objective:To construct a reliability management model of medical equipment in the department of respiratory and critical care medicine,and to explore its application effect in the management of medical equipment in the department of respiratory and critical care medicine.Methods:Taking the reliability of equipment management content and management methods as evaluation indexes,standardized procedures of equipment use,cleaning and emergency management were formed,and a reliability management model for medical equipment in the department of respiratory and critical care medicine was constructed.A total of 63 medical devices in clinical use in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected.According to different management modes,conventional management mode(32 devices)and reliability management mode(31 devices)were adopted respectively.The equipment management index score,equipment goal achievement degree and equipment management defect rate,and the equipment management recognition scores of the engineers,equipment operation technicians and doctors of equipment use management were compared between the two management modes.Results:The average recognition scores of the engineers,operating technicians and doctors for the use of equipment of the reliability management model were(90.66±5.25)points,(91.54±4.14)points and(92.17±5.17)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the conventional management model,the difference was statistically significant(t=14.249,13.773,12.267,P<0.05).The average scores of equipment resource allocation,information technology,technical support and management performance indicators of the reliability management mode were(90.25±4.12)points,(92.45±3.26)points,(91.47±2.78)points and(90.25±3.11)points,respectively,which were higher than those of conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(t=12.122,18.379,15.581,14.141,P<0.05).The average scores of equipment use standardization,cleaning completion and emergency management timeliness of reliability management mode were(92.36±3.25)points,(90.69±3.69)points and(91.87±3.01)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(t=14.953,15.030,14.401,P<0.05).The number of equipment damaged,repaired and factory repair of the reliability management mode was 1,1 and 2,respectively,and the defect rates were 3.22%,3.22%and 6.45%,respectively,which were lower than those of the conventional management mode,the difference was statistically significant(x2=8.581,9.908,8.782,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of reliability-based medical equipment management model to the medical equipment management of respiratory and critical care medicine can improve the quality of equipment management and operation,reduce the failure rate of equipment,and improve the service level of equipment.

Amino-containing compounds,including amino acids,aliphatic amines,aromatic amines,small peptides and catecholamines,are involved in various biological processes and play vital roles in multiple meta-bolic pathways.Previous studies indicated that some amino-containing metabolites are significant diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of gastric cancer.However,the discovery of precise biomarkers for the preoperative diagnosis of gastric cancer is still in an urgent need.Herein,we established a polarity-regulated derivatization method coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)for amino-containing metabolites profiling in the serum samples of patients with gastric cancer and healthy controls,based on our newly designed and synthesized derivatization reagent(S)-3-(1-(diisopropox-yphosphoryl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxamido)-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester(3-DP-NHS).Enhanced separa-tion efficiency and detection sensitivity for amino-containing metabolites were achieved after derivatization.This method exhibited good linearity,recovery,intra-and inter-day precision and accu-racy.Only 5 μL serum is needed for untargeted analysis,enabling 202 amino-containing metabolites to be detected.Statistical analysis revealed altered amino acid metabolisms in patients with gastric cancer.Furthermore,ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry(UHPLC-MS/MS)analysis quantification revealed increased serum levels of tryptamine and decreased concen-trations of arginine and tryptophan in patients with gastric cancer.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves indicated that an increased tryptamine/tryptophan ratio could serve as a potential biomarker for gastric cancer diagnosis.This study demostrated the possibility of using serum amino acid biomarkers for gastric cancer diagnosis,providing new avenues for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective:To explore the relevance of a new comprehensive respiratory mechanics parameter, elastic power, to the 28-day prognosis of ARDS patients.Methods:Patients with ARDS hospitalized for at least 48 h with invasive mechanical ventilation in five intensive care units in three local hospitals in Lianyungang City from June 2018 to June 2022 were included in the study. Their baseline data and respiratory mechanics parameters were collected. Elastic power, mechanical power, driving pressure and lung compliance are calculated according to the corresponding formulae. The prognostic risk factors of ARDS patients were analysed using COX multi-factor regression, and the predictive value of EP/Cst on the 28-day prognosis of ARDS patients was evaluated based on ROC curve analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results:There was no significantly difference in tidal volume and PEEP settings between the patients in the ARDS survivor and death groups ( P> 0.05). However, the differences in respiratory rate, plateau pressure, driving pressure, lung compliance, mechanical work, elastic work, EP/cst and MP/cst between the two groups were significantly different (all P< 0.01). Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that EP/cst ( HR=1.211, 95% CI:1.091-1.323) and RR ( HR=1.209, 95% CI:1.046-1.339) were strongly associated with a more severe degree of illness and a worse prognosis in ARDS. And the cumulative survival rate at 28 d was significantly lower in the high Cst-EP group than in the low Cst-EP group (50.00% vs. 82.40%, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The new respiratory mechanics parameters EP and EP/Cst can assess the severity of ARDS with a good predictive effect on patient prognosis at 28 days.

Objective To analyze changes in serum levels of inflammatory factors,galectin-3 (Gal-3),fractalkine(FKN) and interleukin-6 (IL-6),in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM),and to explore their clinical significance.Methods Seventy-six hospitalized patients with DCM were selected to serve as a DCM group,and 78 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy were selected into an ICM group from October 2016 to December 2017 at the Department of Cardiology,and patients in the two groups received cardiac function classification.Meanwhile,82 healthy people were included as a control group.Fasting venous blood was collected,and serum levels of Gal-3,FKN,IL-6,and BNP were measured.The correlations of Gal-3,FKN,and IL-6 with DCM or ICM were analyzed.Results Levels of plasma BNP and serum Gal-3,FKN,and IL-6 in the DCM and ICM groups were higher than those in the control group,and their levels in the DCM group were significantly higher than in the ICM group.Levels of plasma BNP and serum Gal-3,FKN,and IL-6 increased as their New York Heart Association(NYHA)classification went higher in both the DCM and ICM groups.For patients classified at the same level,serum levels of Gal-3,FKN,and IL-6 of the DCM group were significantly higher than those of the ICM group(P ＜ 0.05).BNP levels showed no difference between the two groups(P ＞0.05).Spearman correlation analysis indicated positive correlations of NYHA classification with levels of BNP(r =0.30,0.19),Gal-3(r=0.24,0.19),FKN(r =0.63,0.51),and IL-6(r =0.28,0.15)in both the DCM and ICM groups(P ＜ 0.05),and the correlation was stronger in the DCM group.Conclusions Increased expression of plasma BNP,Gal-3,FKN,and IL-6 in patients with DCM and ICM are closely related to the severity of cardiac function impairment.Monitoring changes in levels of plasma BNP and serum inflammatory factors Gal-3,FKN and IL-6 provides important clues for the differential diagnosis between DCM and ICM,the assessment of clinical conditions and treatment-related decisions.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of the common pathogens isolated during the period from 2009 to 2015.Methods All the bacterial strains isolated from pediatric inpatients in Beijing Children's Hospital during the period from 2009 to 2015 were analyzed. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion method and Phoenix 100 Automated Microbiology System. Results were analyzed according to the guidelines of CLSI (2014) using WHONET 5.6 software.Results The total strains were 26630. The most common gram-positive isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae,Staphylococcusaureusand coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS), while the most frequently isolated gram-negative microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The prevalence of S. pneumoniae was up to 25.7 % (4101/15973) in all respiratory tract specimens. About 50.2 % of the S. pneumoniae isolates were not susceptible to penicillin. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 20.6 % in S. aureus (MRSA) and 87.8 % in coagulase negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS) on average. The prevalence of MRSA increased from 11.1 % in 2009 to 29.8 % in 2015. No S. pneumoniae or staphylococcal strains were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid. The Enterococcus strains were still highly susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid. Overall 0.3 % of the Enterococcus faecium isolates were resistant to vancomycin. The extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing strains accounted for 71.4 % -78.1 % of E. coli and 65.1 % - 76.9 % of K. pneumoniae isolates. The carbapenem-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae were reported for the first time in 2010, but in 2014, the strains resistant to carbapenems had increased to more than 7 % in E. coli, and higher than 20 % in K. pneumoniae. In 2015, up to 27.7 % and 25.7 % of P. aeruginosa isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem, respectively, and 59.9 % of the A. baumannii isolates were resistant to imipenem and meropenem. Beta-lactamase was positive in 46.3 % of the H. influenzae isolates. Conclusions MRSA and the carbapenem-resistant strains of E. coli,K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii are still on the rise in pediatric inpatients, which poses a serious threat to clinical practice and implies the importance of strengthening infection control.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of shift work on hypertension in petrochemical production workers. METHODS: Totally 2573 workers were recruited from a petrochemical company by convenience sampling method. We collected the basic information of participants via questionnaire and made occupational physical examination in these subjects to evaluate the relationship shift work with hypertension. RESULTS: The results showed that the prevalence of hypertension in the present study was 15. 1%,and the shift workers were with significant higher prevalence compared with the non-shift workers( 15. 9% vs 10. 7%,P < 0. 05). The systolic blood pressure levels were significant higher in shift work group than that in non-shift work group [( 119. 8 ± 14. 9) vs( 116. 6 ± 13. 7) mmHg,P < 0. 01]. After adjusted for age,gender,education,body mass index,family history of hypertension,and other confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of hypertension in shift work group was 1. 49 times( 95% confidence interval was 1. 05-2. 12)than that of non-shift work group( P < 0. 05). By using stratified analysis by the duration of shift work in the shift workers,the risk of hypertension in the duration of 10-year and 20-year groups were higher than that of the duration less than 10-year group( P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Shift work exposure increases the prevalence of hypertension by affecting systolic blood pressure,and this risk can be enhanced with increasing duration of shift work.

With the in-depth understanding of liver physiology, oncology, and anatomy, as well as the development of imaging technology and surgical equipment, hepatectomy has become more precise. Determination of tumor boundary during surgery has a great significance in realizing precise hepatectomy. Various methods for determination of tumor boundary during hepatectomy have been summarized and compared here, as well as their own advantages and disadvantages, with a focus on the detection methods which have not been widely used in clinical practice but have promising prospects, such as indocyanine green-mediated near-infrared light detection and navigation technique and near-infrared molecular imaging technique mediated by nano-molecular probes. Combined application of various examination techniques will become an inevitable trend of development in liver surgeries in the future.
