Objective: Hundreds of countries have implemented lockdown policies to slow the spread of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), but the impact of these measures on maternal mental health is not well understood. Methods: This study integrated a stress-process model to examine the pathways from lockdown-related stressors to prenatal psychological outcomes, with COVID-19 coping strategies (COP) and self-efficacy in managing negative affect (NEG) as mediators and lockdown duration, hours on pandemic-related information, and number of pregnancies as moderators. Pregnant women in Shanghai completed the Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale, COVID-19 Coping Scale, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test and modify the hypothetical model, and moderated mediation and slope analyses were undertaken. Results: In the final SEM demonstrating satisfactory fit, three stressors—decreased household income, insufficient daily supplies, and acquired infections—showed positive direct relationships with NEG and COP. Acquired infections, NEG, and COP were identified as direct predictors of mental health outcomes. The relationship between these three stressors and mental health was mediated by NEG and COP. Additionally, the number of pregnancies moderated the mediating effect of COP; this effect was more pronounced among first-time pregnant women than those with multiple pregnancies. Conclusion This study provides insights into how lockdown measures impact psychological outcomes in pregnant women quarantined at home. Interventions aimed at increasing coping strategies may be more effective for primiparous women during future public health emergencies.

Gathering together is an effectual way for improving quality and efficiency of the physical and chemical regenerative environmental control and life support system,as a regenerative gathering together technology,solid amine can simultaneously gather carbon dioxide and humidity with mild adsorption and desorption conditions,thus having the potential for miniaturization and low energy consumption,making it very suitable for manned deep space exploration missions.The current domestic and foreign systems cannot achieve perfect heat exchange between adsorption and desorption,resulting in low efficiency and less obvious comprehensive advantages.This study utilized multi-physics simulation methods to optimize system heat transfer,designed a combined control system for carbon dioxide and humidity,and verified various system characteristics such as flow rate and cycle time.The results show that:The designed porous thermal conductive medium can effectively reduce thermal resistance,and the obtained optimal filling ratio and structural size improve the heat transfer efficiency of the system.By adjusting the system characteristics,it is possible to dynamically satisfy the carbon dioxide and humidity control needs for 1～3 crews at different metabolic levels.This study verified the advantages of the regenerative combined carbon dioxide and humidity gathering system in terms of weight,power consumption,and volume,and obtained system characteristics,providing important technical support for manned deep space exploration missions.

Objective:To investigate the biofilm genes and quorum sensing genes of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in the wounds of diabetic foot patients. Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. The 233 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were cultured from 177 inpatients (128 males and 49 females, aged (56±10) years) with diabetic foot admitted to the Department of Diabetic Foot of Tianjin Medical University Chu Hsien-I Memorial Hospital from October 2020 to September 2023. Two hundred and thirty-three Acinetobacter baumannii strains were detected by bacterial culture from the diabetic foot wounds of the aforementioned patients. All Acinetobacter baumannii strains were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, followed by analysis of their resistance rate using kinetic turbidimetric assay by a fully automated microbiological analysis system. Ten CRAB strains (from 10 patients, 9 males and 1 female, aged (63±13) years) and 10 carbapenem sensitive Acinetobacter baumannii (CSAB; from 10 patients, 8 males and 2 females, aged (63±9) years) strains were randomly selected, and the whole DNA genome was extracted and sequenced. The antibiotic resistance genes were annotated using a comprehensive antibiotic resistance gene database, and a phylogenetic tree was drawn to analyze the homologous relationship between CRAB and CSAB. The 7 housekeeping genes of Acinetobacter baumannii was entered into the PubMLST website to analyze the multi-locus sequence typing of CRAB and CSAB. All the measured genes were put into the PubMLST website to search for the biofilm genes bap, csuA, csuB, csuA/B, csuC, csuD, csuE, pgaA, pgaB, pgaC, pgaD, bfmR, bfmS, ompA carried by each Acinetobacter baumannii, as well as the quorum sensing genes abaI and abaR, and flagellar gene pilA. The differences in carrying these genes between CRAB and CSAB were compared. The biofilm genes and quorum sensing genes carried by CRAB and CSAB carrying oxacillinase (OXA) resistance gene blaOXA were analyzed. Gross observation was performed to check if there was gel-like membrane-like substance in the diabetic foot wounds infected with CRAB and CSAB, and if so, the microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscope. Results:Among the detected Acinetobacter baumannii, the positive detection rates of CSAB, CRAB, multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and pan-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were 16.7% (39/233), 83.3% (194/233), 95.3% (222/233), and 34.3% (80/233), respectively, and no fully drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii was detected. Among 233 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, the resistance rate to carbapenem antibiotics exceeded 80%; the resistance rate of cefoperazone/sulbactam was relatively low, at 37%; the resistance rates to the other cephalosporin antibiotics (cefotaxime, ceftazimide, cefotetan, and cefuroxime) were more than 80%; the resistance rates to all penicillin antibiotics were greater than 80%; the resistance rates to quinolone antibiotics were all over 60%; the resistance rate to minocycline was only 12%; the resistance rates to tigecycline and colistin did not exceed 1%. The phylogenetic tree showed that 10 CRAB strains were highly homologous, while 10 CSAB strains had low homology. The analysis of multi-locus sequence typing showed that 10 CRAB strains were all the same type; among the 10 CSAB strains, except 1 strain without typing, the remaining 9 CSAB strains had 7 types. Eight of 10 CRAB strains contained complete biofilm genes and quorum sensing genes. The biofilm genes from the strains of CSAB were incomplete and none carried the bap gene. Neither CRAB nor CSAB carried the flagellar gene pilA. Compared with that carried by CRAB, biofilm genes bap, csuA, csuC, and csuD and quorum sensing genes abaI and abaR carried by CSAB were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The main blaOXA categories carried by CRAB were blaOXA-23-like (specifically BlaOXA-167) and blaOXA-51-like (specifically blaOXA-66), both of which had carbapenase activity. Eight of 10 CRAB strains carried both blaOXA-66 and blaOXA-167, and all of them had relatively complete quorum sensing genes and biofilm genes. The main blaOXA categories carried by CSAB were blaOXA-51-like and blaOXA-213-like. Although they had carbapenemase activity, clinical drug sensitivity test showed that they were all sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics. Gel-like and membrane-like substance could be seen in wounds infected with CRAB, which were biofilm; no gel-like and membrane-like substance was found in the wound infected with CSAB. Conclusions:CRAB and CSAB in diabetic foot wounds are significantly different in terms of multi-locus sequence typing, carrying biofilm genes, quorum sensing genes, and blaOXA gene, leading to differences in antibiotic resistance between the two.

Objective To learn about the current situation and trends of novel coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-2019) in foreign countries. Methods The data on confirmed COVID-2019 cases were collected between January 20, 2020 and February 18, 2020 and by age, sex, nationality, contact history, region, and country were performed stratified analysis and onset time analysis. Results From January 20th to February 18th, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of COVI D-2019 abroad was 804. Excluding the 454 cases on the 'Diamond Princess' cruise ship in Japan, the daily number of new cases fluctuated, showed a trend of rising first and then maintaining a steady trend. The peak date for new cases was on February 1, with the number of cases reaching 26. The confirmed cases were mainly concentrated in Asian countries, but also distributed in Europe, North America, Oceania and Africa. As of February 15, there was no more increase reported in the number of countries where confirmed cases occurred after reaching 25. Among these countries, Singapore, Japan, and Thailand were with the highest number of cases, with 77, 65, and 35 cases, respectively. In accordamce to available information on confirmed cases, the cases with history of exposure to confirmed cases were more than those with history of living or traveling in Hubei. And more cases were non-Chinese nationalities, 40 years old and above, and males . Conclusion The novel coronavirus has transmitted abroad, and produced second-generation cases. Although the incidence is low abroad , its trend fluctuates greatly, so sufficient attention must be paid to the possibility of further transmission.
