Objective To satisfy the normalized disinfection in the orthopedic ward,an air sterilizer based on low-temperature plasma has been developed to investigate its sterilization results in a dynamic environment of hospitalization where patients,companions and medical workers are involved.Methods This study took an orthopedics ward in the Secondary Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,as the research object,where a home-made low-temperature plasma air sterilizer was utilized.A six-stage viable Andersen cascade impactor was used to sample the natural bacteria in the ward before and after machine operation for three hours.The species and quantity of bacteria in the ward were analyzed.Results The ozone concentration in the indoor dynamic environment decreased to below 5 ppbv.After three-hour disinfection,the elimination rate of natural bacteria reached 92.35％.The final colony forming unit decreased to～150 CFU/m3;the extinction rates of Staphylococcus hominis,Bacillus cereus,molds,and Micrococcus luteus were 90.48％,80.90％,87.50％,and 92.82％respectively.Even all Haemophilus massiliensis disappeared after two-hour treatment.Conclusion Intermittent disinfection of the dynamic environment in the ward using low-temperature plasma synergistic catalyst has enabled the indoor ozone concentration to reach the first-level national standard line,effectively suppressing secondary pollution caused by ozone leakage while efficiently killing suspended microorganisms in the air,which is close to the disinfection level Ⅰenvironment specified in Hygienic Standard for Disinfection in Hospitals(GB 15982-2012).The results also show that the plasma catalytic synergistic disinfection and sterilization has the technical advantages of efficient disinfection and human-machine coexistence,which can ensure indoor air quality safety,reduce the workload of nursing staff,and thus is an effective method to assist or even replace the existing physical and chemical means.

Object:To explore the feasibility of using artificial intelligence for quality control of echocardiographic images.Methods:Retrospectively，5 000 two-dimensional echocardiographic video images within the period from 2021 to 2023 were randomly retrieved from the echocardiography database of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital，Affiliated Hospital of Medical School，Nanjing University. Among these selected images，1 559 of them were apical views. The physician team formulated the scoring rules，which specifically included four scoring criteria：gain，scaling ratio，cardiac axis angle，and structure. Subsequently，the data were labeled with view classification and image quality scores. The labeled data were further partitioned into the training set（ n = 643），the validation set（ n = 276），and the test set（ n = 640）. The training and validation sets were utilized for constructing the models for view classification and quality assessment，while the test set was employed to verify the models' effectiveness. The view classification module was implemented using the SlowFast model，and the quality assessment module involved algorithms such as ResNet，Video Swin Transformer，SSD，and U-Net. Results:The average accuracy，precision，recall rate and F1 score of the classification model in identifying each apical view were 0.987 1，0.983 0，0.987 1 and 0.984 9 respectively，and the inference time was（333.4 ± 105.4）ms. The average accuracies of the quality assessment module in terms of gain，scaling ratio，cardiac axis angle and display of main structures were 0.915 1，0.928 2，0.938 7 and 0.965 6 respectively，and the overall scoring accuracy was 0.912 7.Conclusions:The echocardiogram quality control system developed in this research can effectively classify and evaluate the quality of two-dimensional images of the apical views in echocardiograms. Moreover，it guarantees the objectivity，timeliness and high-efficiency of quality control，which has reference value for the establishment of the echocardiogram quality control system.

Both could meet the requirements of disinfection specifications ［100%， （99.98±0.01）%≥99.90%］. 【Conclusion】 The inactivation of natural bacteria and artificial bacteria by the new low-temperature plasma air disinfector has reached the qualified standard of disinfection stipulated in Technical Specifications for Disinfection.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and treatment strategy of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) of ex-tra-appendiceal origin. Methods: Clinical data of 34 patients diagnosed with PMP of extra-appendiceal origin who were treated by cy-toreduction surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the Aerospace Center Hospital from September 2011 to February 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and imaging features were summarized and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results: The clinical manifestations of the 34 patients with PMP of extra-appendiceal origin were mainly abdomi-nal distension (58.8%) and abdominal pelvic mass (52.9%), which are very similar to those of appendiceal PMP. The incidence of main complications after CRS and HIPEC was 14.7%. During the follow-up period of a median of 12 months (range 1-46 months), 9 patients died, and the 1-and 3-year overall survival rates were 69.6% and 53.5%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, peritoneal cancer in-dex (PCI)>20, no HIPEC, and non-radical surgery were significant risk factors for poor prognosis, while gender, age, origin, and patho-logical type did not show significant correlations. Conclusions: The clinical features of PMP of extra-appendiceal origin are not differ-ent to those of PMP originating from the appendix. It is difficult to ascertain the primary lesion before the operation; however, regard-less of the origin, CRS combined with HIPEC is always a safe and effective treatment choice.

Objective To investigate the related factors and preventive measures of delayed gastric emptying after operation for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma.Methods A total of 45 patients with delayed gastric emptying after operation for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma were selected as observation group,and 45 patients without delayed gastric emptying after operation for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma were selected as control group.Differences in the relevant factors were compared between the two groups.Results Single factor analysis showed that older age,high body mass index,short time education,malnutrition,poor mental state,rural residence,surgical incision,blood loss,long operation time,postoperative analgesia pump application,and the large amount of fluid volume were related risks of delayed gastric emptying (P ＜ 0.05).The Logistic regression analysis showed that older age (OR =4.15,95 ％ CI:1.89 ～ 26.30),bad psychological reaction (OR =3.96,95％ CI:1.38 ～ 25.38),long operation time (OR =3.40,95％ CI:1.11 ～ 20.28) and malnutrition (OR =3.02,95％ CI:1.09 ～ 19.35) were independent factors of delayed gastric emptying.Conclusion Delayed gastric emptying is one of the common complications after operation for esophageal and cardiac carcinoma,and the influencing factors are complex.

Objective To compare the different doses of low-temperature plasma (LTP) on wound healing in BALB/c mice so as to discuss the effects of the optimal dose of low-temperature plasma dealing with wound in mice and the acting mechanism of wound healing.Methods Adoptatmospheric pressure plasma jet discharged by the dielectric barrier was used to treat mouse skin wound.According to the processing time, the wounds were divided into 10s, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s experimental groups, while naturally healing wounds served as negative controls and the wounds dealt with recombinant human epidermal growth factor served as positive controls.We recorded the wound size every day, observed the histopathological changes, the expression level of type Ⅰ collagen by immunofluorescence, and analyzed the composition of low-temperature plasma jet.Results The wounds with plasma treatment time of 10s, 20s, 30s, and 40s showed significant daily improvement and almost complete closure at days 12, 10, 7, 13, respectively.However, the wounds with plasma treatment time of 50s remained unhealed atday 14.The wounds in positive control group all healed, and the wound healing effect in positive control group could be achieved in 30s group.HE staining and immunofluorescence staining assays showed the optimal result of epidermal cell regeneration, granulation tissue hyperplasia, and collagen deposition in histological aspect at day 7 in 30 s group.The low-temperature plasma jet contained highly reactive free radicals of nitrogen and oxygen, which play an important role in wound healing process.Conclusion Appropriate doses of cold plasma can accelerate wound healing whereas over-doses of plasma can suppress wound healing.The process of wound healing may be related to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in LTP.
