Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics of infectious respiratory particles(IRPs)in hospi-tal waiting rooms,and explore the impact of indoor air environmental on the distribution characteristics of bacterial IRPs.Methods In the summer and winter of 2024,nine waiting rooms in non-infectious departments of three ter-tiary hospitals in a district of Beijing were selected for on-site investigation on basic conditions.Concentration and distribution of particle diameter of cultivable bacteria from 36 air specimens collected by the impacting method were analyzed.Cyclone method was employed to collect 36 IRPs specimens.Major respiratory pathogens were analyzed by fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results The median of the total bacterial count in IRPs in the waiting rooms in summer was 1 035 CFU/m3,which was higher than that in winter(295 CFU/m3),with statisti-cally significant difference(P＜0.05).The orders of medians of the total bacterial count from IRPs of different types in the waiting rooms in both summer and winter were as follows:emergency department waiting room＜re-spiratory department waiting room＜pediatric waiting room＜general outpatient waiting room.There was no sta-tistically significant difference in the total bacterial count among different waiting rooms(P＞0.05).Particle diame-ter of bacterial IRPs in the waiting rooms in summer and winter mainly distributed in the range of＜4.7 μm,ac-counting for 73.77％and 69.44％,respectively.The total number of bacteria in IRPs in the waiting rooms was positively correlated with indoor air temperature,relative humidity,PM10,and PM2.5(all P＜0.01),while nega-tively correlated with indoor wind speed(all P＜0.01).The types of respiratory infectious and non-infectious pathogens detected from IRPs in different types of waiting rooms were different between summer and winter.The pathogens detected in summer were mainly concentrated in respiratory non-infectious pathogens(Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Staphylococcus aureus).In winter,respiratory infectious pathogens(virus and Mycoplas-ma pneumoniae)were detected.The types of detected pathogens in different types of waiting rooms were different.Non-infectious respiratory pathogens detected from IRPs in winter were mainly Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,and Staphylococcus aureus.Conclusion Particle diameter of bacterial IRPs in the waiting room is mainly＜4.7 μm.These particles can enter the lower respiratory tract of human body,and pose potential risk to health.The detection of main infectious and non-infectious respiratory pathogens from IRPs in waiting rooms suggests risk of exposure to infection for patients and healthcare workers.

Objective To investigate effect of Qishen-Qinggan decoction on proliferation and apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma cellline SMMC-7721.Methods SMMC-7721 cells were cultivated in vitro.Logarithmic growth phase cells were divided into a drug intervention group and a control group.SMMC-7721 cells were treated with Qishen-Qinggan decoction of 0.135、0.27、0.54、1.08、2.16 g/ml respectively for 12、24、48 hours in the drug intervention group while the control group remained untreated.The inhibition rate of SMMC-7721 cells were detected by MTT assay,cell apoptotic rate were measured by flow cytometry analysis.Results Qishen-Qinggan decoction of 0.135,0.27,0.54,1.08,2.16 g/ml had a significantly inhibitory effect on SMMC-7721 cells in a dose and time dependent manner.OD values of 12 hours were 0.89±0.05,0.85±0.05,0.80±0.06,0.78± 0.02,0.69±0.07,OD values of 24 hours were 0.77±0.07,0.74±0.07,0.59±0.07,0.50±0.09,0.39±0.08,OD values of 48 hours were 0.78±0.05,0.61±0.08,0.44±0.10,0.39±0.08,0.34±0.07 respectively.Each drug intervention group had significant difference compared with control group.Qishen-Qinggan decoction of 0.27,0.54 g/ml could induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 were 11.19 ± 2.23,15.69 ± 2.51,compared with control group of 1.41 ± 0.22.Apoptotic rates of Qishen-Qinggan decoction of 1.08 g/ml had extremely significant difference with the control group (41.83 ± 7.11 vs 1.41 ± 0.22).Conclusion Qishen-Qinggan decoction could inhibit the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells probably by inducing cell apoptosis.
