To perform modal analysis of CT shelter by applying computer simulation technology so as to pro-vide theoretical guidance for CT shelter structure optimization. Based on CAD model, the finite element model of a CT shelter was established with ANSYS simulation platform. Through modal analysis, different-order modal frequency and modal shape of the shelter were computed and the kinetic characteristics were evaluated. Low order modal frequency was kept away from the natural frequency range of chassis system resonance to avoid the overall structure reso-nance; the 3rd and the 4th modal frequency and engine idle speed frequency were very close so that local resonance might occur; road roughness excitation frequency covered the first 6 order modal frequencies and the further vibration-re-ducing measures of CT equipment were suggested. Based on the theories of finite element method and current software platform, modal analysis of shelter structure can be simulated and the results can provide valuable data for the improvement of kinetic characteristics and structure design.

Objective:To explore the present state of radiation protection in an operational large-sized irradiation facility and the distribution of incurred radiation doses in the controlled area under abnormal conditions, and to analyze the acompanied radiation risk.Methods:With an irradiation facility in operation as the research object, the radiation doses were measured using AT1121 X and gamma dose rate meters for the soruce both in working and storage. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to measure the dose distribution in an irradiation field under abnormal conditions. The radiation safety features were checked against the several relevant national standards, with the radiation risks evaluated.Results:The radiation dose rates were in the range of 0.09-0.11 μSv/h, lower than the environmental background level whether in storage or working. Under abnormal working conditions, the radiation dose values from high to low were 1.0-101.3 Sv, 32.7-514.0 mSv and 8.7-183.2 μSv in the irradiation field, respectively. At the outside maze, the doses were close to the background level.Conclusions:The protection features of the irradiation facility meet the requirements of the relevant national standards. Under abnormal conditions, radiation could cause serious damages to the persons staying in the irradiation field. These persons were suggested to access to maze as soon as possible to reduce the exposure time, and activate the emergency protection equipments to deescalate the 60Co source onto the well.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:The clinical data of 83 patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis who received treatment in Taiyuan Fourth People's Hospital from March 2020 to March 2022 were collected. These patients were divided into sensitive group ( n = 45) and resistant group ( n = 38 ) according to the results of drug sensitivity test. Univariate and multivariate non-conditional logistic regression was performed to analyze the influential factors of drug resistance. Results:Univariate logistic regression results revealed that there were significant differences in blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count ( χ2 = 11.73, P = 0.001) and diabetic complications ( χ2 = 4.94, P = 0.026). Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis was performed taking whether blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count was lower than the average level and whether patients with diabetes mellitus had complications as independent variables, and taking whether drug resistance was a dependent variable. The results showed that the OR (95% CI) value of the decreased blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count was 4.909 (1.926-12.514). It is a risk factor for drug resistance of diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis. Conclusion:The decrease of blood CD4 +T lymphocyte count is a risk factor of drug resistance in diabetes mellitus complicated by pulmonary tuberculosis, and it should be intervened early in the clinic.

Objective To understand the effects of ²⁴¹Am standard material powder with different matrices on the determination of gross alpha activity in water, and to provide a reference for the selection and use of alpha standard sources. Methods The alpha counting efficiency of ²⁴¹Am standard material powder with different matrices was measured by low-background alpha and beta measuring instrument. The radiochemical recovery rate and whole process efficiency of gross alpha activity in water were determined by spike experiments. Results The alpha counting efficiency of the ²⁴¹Am standard material powder with four matrices was in the descending order of calcium carbonate, calcium carbonate and silica mixed matrix, calcium sulfate, and silica. The default chemical recovery rate is 1 when gross alpha activity in water is measured by thick source method. The use of ²⁴¹Am standard material with calcium carbonate as a matrix resulted in about 35% decrease in gross alpha activity, and about 10% deviation was observed using ²⁴¹Am standard material with silica or calcium carbonate and silica mixed matrices. The whole process efficiency of alpha activity in four spiked water samples with ²⁴¹Am standard solution and ²⁴¹Am standard material powder with calcium carbonate, silica, or mixed matrix was 6.34%-7.30%. Conclusion Standard materials with different matrices demonstrate different self-absorption of alpha particles and various influence on the chemical recovery. When purchasing and using standard material powders for alpha activity measurement in laboratories, the composition of the matrix should be clarified as much as possible, and the gross alpha activity in water should be determined by measuring the whole process efficiency if necessary.

Objective To explore the uranium concentration in surface water and drinking water in Beijing, China and the relationship between uranium concentration and gross α activity concentration. Methods Water samples were collected from 16 districts in Beijing. Uranium concentration and gross α activity concentration were measured with WGJ-III trace uranium analyzer and LB6008 six-channel α/β counter using the ultraviolet fluorescence and thick source methods. Results The uranium concentrations in surface water and drinking water were 1.131 and 1.572 μg/L, respectively. The gross α activity concentrations in surface water and drinking water were 0.059 and 0.074 Bq/L, respectively. There were no significant differences in uranium concentration and gross α activity concentration between surface water and drinking water (P > 0.05). The uranium concentration was positively correlated with the gross α activity concentration, with a correlation coefficient of 0.700 (P < 0.05). The gross α activity concentration was determined by the uranium concentration with a determination coefficient of 48%. The committed effective dose of ²³⁸U in drinking water was between 3.284 × 10⁻⁵ and 1.640 × 10⁻³ mSv, with an average value of 5.400 × 10⁻⁴ mSv. Conclusion The uranium concentration and gross α activity in the surface water and drinking water in Beijing fluctuate and remain in the background range. These values are much lower than the recommended limits of 0.03 mg/L and 0.5 Bq/L stipulated in the GB 5749-2021 Standard for Drinking Water Quality. The annual committed effective dose of ²³⁸U through drinking water ingestion is very small.

Objective:To investigate radionuclide content in soil at 19 spots in Beijing, in order to provide scientific basis for the accurate evaluation of the levels of radioactive contamination.Methods:GEM-MX7080P4 HPGe γ spectrometer was used to analyse the activity concentrations of radionuclide 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in all 38 soil samples from 16 districts of Beijing from 2017 to 2018. Results:The mean activity concentration of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were 23.9 and 24.1 Bq/kg, 31.2 and 31.7 Bq/kg, 600 and 578 Bq/kg respectively for the two consecutive years. The mean activity concentration of 137Cs in the two years was 1.21 Bq/kg, with the highest values of 5.48 and 6.18 Bq/kg, about 4.5 times and 5.1 times the average values in those years. Conclusions:All the result are within the range of the values from previous Beijing municipal and countrywide survey of environmental background, with 137Cs in soil arising almost from the previous nuclear activities or nuclear incidents.

The differences in activity concentrations of 7Be and 210Pb in atmospheric aerosol among differernt seasons were statistically significant ( F=32.66, 93.93, P<0.05). Activity concentration of 7Be was highest in spring, followed by autumn, and lowest in summer and winter. Activity concentration of 210Pb ranged from winter, autumn, spring to summer in descending order.
