BACKGROUND:The elastic modulus of traditional solid titanium alloy implants is higher than that of human bone,and the resulting"stress shielding"phenomenon may affect the osseointegration of implants.Simultaneously,the wettability of 3D printed titanium alloy surface needs to be improved.OBJECTIVE:To prepare hydrophilic Gyroid implants with excellent biomechanical properties.METHODS:The 3D models of Gyroid implant,solid implant,mandibular bone and crown were established,and the mechanical properties of different implants were analyzed by finite element analysis.The Gyroid structure implant model was imported into the 3D printer to make the Gyroid structure implant materialized,and then the hydrophilic Gyroid structure implant with excellent mechanical properties and surface activity was prepared by sandblasting acid etching and ultraviolet functionalization.The morphology and hydrophilicity of 3D printed Ti6Al4V specimens before and after surface modification were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and contact angle test.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The finite element analysis results showed that under the vertical average bite force,the Gyroid structure could uniformly disperse the load acting on the implant into the entire structure.The load on the solid structure implant could only be dispersed on its outer surface and concentrated in the neck.The maximum equivalent stress of the Gyroid structure implant was 200.67 MPa,which did not exceed 50%of the yield strength of Ti6Al4V material.The maximum equivalent stress of the Gyroid structure implant on the surrounding bone tissue was 24.27 MPa,which was slightly higher than the maximum equivalent stress of the solid structure implant 17.32 MPa,and in the range of 20-60 MPa.The stimulation effect of the Gyroid structure implant on new bone formation was better than that of the solid structure implant.(2)The 3D printing technology could materialize the Gyroid structure implant model.Scanning electron microscopy showed that there were many unmelted spherical metal particles on the surface of the 3D printed Ti6Al4V specimens.After sandblasting and acid etching,a micron-scale mesh pore structure was formed on the surface,and no protruding metal particles were seen.The surface morphology of the superimposed UV functional treatment group was basically consistent with that after sandblasting and acid etching.The contact angle test results showed that the surface hydrophilicity of the specimens treated with ultraviolet functionalization plus sandblasting and acid etching was better than that of the sandblasting and acid etching and non-surface treatment groups.(3)The sandblasting and acid etching technology can remove the weakly connected metal particles on the 3D printed specimen and improve the similarity between the solid model and the design model.On this basis,the ultraviolet functionalization treatment can significantly improve the hydrophilicity of the 3D printed Gyroid structure implant surface without affecting its structure.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of pulse pressure variability(PPV)in early prevention and diagnosis of prostate resection syndrome by observing the changes in PPV during transurethral resection of the prostate.Methods Eighty patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)under general anesthesia from March to April 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.The control group underwent routine monitoring of invasive blood pressure,while the observation group continued to monitor PPV in addition to invasive blood pressure monitoring.Observe and record the hemodynamic parameters,electrolyte Na+,K+,CL-,Changes in hemoglobin(Hb)and hematocrit(Hct),recording surgical time,intraoperative lavage fluid dosage,and occurrence of dilutive hyponatremia(TURS).Results One patient in the observation group experienced two unexplained drops in blood pressure and heart rate during surgery,and was diagnosed with TURS based on blood gas analysis.Among them,the observation group showed a decreasing trend in PPV with the prolongation of surgery time.PPV gradually decreased at 45～60 minutes after surgery,and at 90 minutes after surgery,PPV decreased significantly compared to preoperative levels.Among them,6 patients had a 50%decrease in PPV compared to preoperative levels.For patients with significantly reduced PPV,immediate treatment was given 10～20 mg of furosemide and 10 mg of dexamethasone.By the end of surgery,PPV had basically recovered to preoperative levels.Both groups of patients showed varying degrees of decrease in Na+,K+,Hct,and Hb levels.Conclusions PPV can reflect the volume status of patients.When PPV decreases by more than 50%compared to preoperative levels and there are unexplained hemodynamic changes and abnormal clinical manifestations during surgery,it is necessary to be vigilant and handle them promptly to reduce and prevent the occurrence of TURS.

Objective:To construct a biosafety evaluation index system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions.Methods:Based on previous laboratory biosafety evaluation work, relevant regulations and standards on biosafety in China were collected through literature research and expert consultations. Candidate indicators for constructing the biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions were selected, and a framework was established. Two rounds of expert questionnaires were conducted to determine the content of the index system based on experts′ evaluation, and each indicator′s relevance and importance were scored. Finally, two rounds of Delphi consultations were carried out, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to calculate the weights of indicators.Results:The response rates for the total four rounds of questionnaire surveys were all 100%. The first two rounds focused on determining the framework, while the latter two focused on determining the weights for each indicator. The authority coefficients of the expert consultations for the two rounds of weights were 0.65 and 0.70, respectively, indicating the reliability of the research results. In the final round of survey, the Kendall′s coefficients of concordance at each level were all greater than 0.1. Through statistical testing, the P-values were all less than 0.05, indicating good coordination of expert opinions. Ultimately, we established an operational biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions, consisting of 4 primary indicators, 26 secondary indicators, and 119 tertiary indicators, with additional deduction items, bonus items, unacceptable items, and monitoring indicators.Conclusions:Based on scientific theory, a biosafety evaluation system for major emergency public health events in medical institutions was constructed, achieving the integration of routine and emergency measures. This system can be used for self-assessment of laboratory biosafety during emergency public health events, addressing the lack of unified standards in biosafety evaluation. Through regular self-assessment, it can enhance the level of biosafety management in medical institution laboratories, to realize the value of application and dissemination.

Background Diesel engines are widely used in transportation, agriculture, construction, industry, and other fields. Diesel exhaust, classified as a Group 1 carcinogen, emits particles (DEP) that can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract, posing significant health risks. DEP pollution is particularly severe in confined environments, necessitating effective control measures. Objective Under laboratory simulation conditions, to explore the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics of the mass and number concentrations of DEP as it diffuses indoors and to reveal the effects of ventilation and additional airflow on indoor DEP pollution levels. Methods A diesel engine was placed in a laboratory (length 3.39 m × width 2.85 m × height 2.4 m) with its exhaust emitted from east to west. An air purifier was installed 1 m south of the engine. Eight measurement points (1 m horizontal distance from the exhaust outlet, height: 1 m/1.5 m) were setup to monitor DEP concentrations using portable laser particle sizers. The effects of engine power (4.05 kW vs. 5.15 kW), ventilation (maximum airflow: 600 m³·h⁻¹), additional airflow intensity (low and high), and direction (forward/reverse) on DEP pollution were analyzed. DEP levels of 5 diesel vehicle models were also compared. Results The mass and number concentrations of DEP indoors increased immediately after the diesel engine started. The peak mass concentration time at the eastern measurement point (−1, 0) m opposite to the exhaust direction (17.70 min) was significantly longer than that at the western (1, 0) m (16.20 min), southern (0, -1) m (14.45 min), and northern (0, 1) m (12.70 min) points (P<0.05), with no significant differences between the other points (western, southern, and northern) (P>0.05). The northern point (0, 1) m exhibited the highest DEP mass and number concentration peaks (174.62 μg·m⁻³, 1319.85 p·cm⁻³), significantly exceeding those at the southern (0, −1) m (129.89 μg·m⁻³, 1175.24 p·cm⁻³), eastern (−1, 0) m (140.12 μg·m⁻³, 1120.53 p·cm⁻³), and western (1, 0) m (147.60 μg·m⁻³, 818.62 p·cm⁻³) points (P<0.05), and no significant differences were observed among other points (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in peak DEP mass and number concentrations by measurement heights (P>0.05). Diesel engine power, ventilation, airflow intensity, and airflow direction had no significant effect on the time of peak DEP concentration (P>0.05). However, higher engine power (5.15 kW) produced greater DEP peaks [(186.66±19.29) μg·m⁻³, (1382.79±122.56) p·cm⁻³] than the 4.05 kW engine power [(168.41±12.65) μg·m⁻³, (1284.45±71.30) p·cm⁻³] (P<0.05). The peak mass concentration [(342.04±35.03) μg·m⁻³] and number concentration [(1886.87±57.91) p·cm⁻³] of DEP in the non-ventilated group were significantly higher than those in the ventilated group [(186.66±19.29) μg·m⁻³, (1382.79±122.56) p·cm⁻³] (P<0.001). Forward airflow elevated DEP mass concentrations compared to reverse airflow (287.71 μg·m⁻³ vs. 243.74 μg·m⁻³, t=−2.592, P=0.009), but no effects on DEP number concentration (P>0.05). Significant differences in mass concentration were observed among selected 5 vehicle models (Z=38.109, P<0.001). Conclusion The operation of diesel engines will emit a large amount of particulate matter, causing pollution in enclosed spaces. Diesel engines with greater power have higher levels of DEP pollution emissions. Based on the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics, it is recommended to set the operation position in the reverse direction of exhaust emissions and close to air purifiers, while avoiding the use of additional air flow equipment.
