ObjectiveTo monitor the real-time changes in ammonia concentration in the laboratory animal facility environment before, during, and after the air conditioning system stops supplying air, so as to provide a basis and reference for developing emergency plans for the shutdown of the air conditioning system. MethodsThe laboratory animal facilities of the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products were used as the research object. Ammonia concentration detectors were used to monitor ammonia concentration continuously in the environment of conventional rabbit production facility, SPF hamster production facility, and SPF guinea pig experimental facility before and after the passive shutdown due to repairs and active maintenance shutdown of the air conditioning system, as well as the time for the ammonia concentration to return to daily levels after resuming air supply. ResultsUnder both shutdown modes of the air conditioning system, the trend of ammonia concentration changes in different laboratory animal facilities was consistent, showing a rapid increase after shutdown and a rapid decrease after resuming air supply. Under active maintenance shutdown, the maximum ammonia concentrations in the conventional rabbit production facilities, SPF hamster production facilities, and SPF guinea pig experimental facilities were 9.81 mg/m³, 14.27 mg/m³, and 6.98 mg/m³, respectively. Within 12 minutes after resuming air supply, ammonia concentration could return to normal daily levels. Under passive long-term shutdown, ammonia concentration value was positively correlated with the duration of air supply suspension. As the shutdown duration increased, ammonia concentration continued to increase. The maximum ammonia concentration values in the three facilities occurred at 88 minutes (38.06 mg/m³), 40 minutes (18.43 mg/m³), and 34 minutes (15.61 mg/m³) after air supply suspension, respectively.Within 11 minutes after resuming air supply, ammonia concentration could return to normal daily levels. ConclusionShutdown of the air conditioning system causes a rapid increase in ammonia concentration in laboratory animal facilities, and the rise in ammonia concentration is positively correlated with the duration of air supply suspension. Therefore, when an emergency shutdown of the air-conditioning system is required due to maintenance or other reasons, backup fans should be provided in accordance with the requirements of GB 50447-2008 "Architectural and Technical Code for Laboratory Animal Facilities". Older facilities should make adequate preparations and develop a scientifically sound emergency plan.

Objective To compare of the efficacy of two distinct debridement techniques in membrane induction therapy for chronic tibial osteomyelitis.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 52 patients with Cierny-Mader type IV A/B chronic tibial osteomyelitis who were treated at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University between July 2016 and December 2023.Five patients were diagnosed and treated before 2020,while 47 were managed from 2020 onward.Patients were divided into two groups:a local debridement group(n=28)and an en bloc osteotomy group(n=24).Perioperative outcomes—including operative time,incision length,intraoperative blood loss,and length of hospital stay—were assessed,along with clinical efficacy at 6 months,12 months,and final follow-up.Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS)knee score,the American Orthopaedic Foot&Ankle Society(AOFAS)ankle-hindfoot score,joint range of motion(knee flexion-extension and ankle plantarflexion-dorsiflexion),recurrence rate,and the Paley classification for infectious bone defects.Results The local debridement group exhibited significantly less intraoperative blood loss(P<0.05),shorter operative time(P<0.05),and reduced hospital stay(P<0.05),as well as higher AOFAS and HSS scores at both 6 and 12 months postoperatively(P<0.05).In contrast,the osteotomy group demonstrated superior Paley classification outcomes at 6 months,12 months,and final follow-up(P<0.05),along with lower rates of infection recurrence.Longitudinal analysis indicated significant improvements in AOFAS scores,HSS scores,and joint mobility over time in both groups(P<0.05).However,no statistically significant differences were observed between groups in terms of functional scores or joint mobility parameters at final follow-up(P>0.05).Conclusion En bloc osteotomy combined with the induced membrane technique(Masquelet technique)enables more comprehensive debridement,minimizes the necessity for repeated surgical interventions,reduces postoperative complications,lowers the risk of recurrence,and promotes enhanced bone healing.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between graduate students' source information and their destinations as well as the potential influencing factors, and to provide a reference for employment guidance for graduate students.Methods:A total of 9 599 entries of 2019-2023 graduate students' source information and destinations were exported from the Chongqing smart employment platform for college graduates. With the use of SPSS software, we performed chi-square tests for contingency tables, and further confirmed the detected statistically significant factors through multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results:There were significant differences in the destinations of graduate students of different ages, training types, and source origins (all P<0.001). Students from the western region accounted for 80.82%(7 758/9 599) of the whole population, indicating that the western region was the major student source of the university. The destinations of the graduate students were concentrated in the western region [82.32% (7 902/9 599)], radiating to the eastern region [10.77% (1 034/9 599)] and central region [6.02% (578/9 599)]. According to the multinomial logistic regression analysis, compared with the students aged 21-25 years, the likelihoods of those aged 26-30 years choosing the central region and the eastern region as their destinations were 0.631 times and 0.813 times, respectively; and the likelihood of the students aged 31-35 years choosing the eastern region was 0.633 times. Professional graduate students were 0.678, 0.806, 0.257, and 0.447 times as likely as academic graduate students to choose the central region, the eastern region, the northeastern region, and Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and other regions, respectively. Conclusions:The destinations of graduate students differ regionally by source origin and age bracket. Compared with academic graduate students, professional graduate students have greater regional mobility.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a common chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory disease clinically.Its pathogenesis is complex,prolonged the disease course,and it is frequent clinical recurrence.In recent years,the incidence of UC has shown an upward trend and tends to younger onset,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients and increases the social medical burden.Mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)plays an important role in the occurrence and development of UC,participating in inflammatory response,oxidative stress,autophagy,apoptosis,pyroptosis,and intestinal barrier.MAPK may be a new target for the treatment of UC.Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history and remarkable curative effect in treating UC,with the advantages of multiple pathways,multiple targets,and multiple components.In recent years,many studies have shown that single Chinese herbal medicines and compound prescriptions can mediate MAPK signaling pathway to inhibit inflammatory response and oxidative stress,regulate autophagy,inhibit apoptosis and pyroptosis,repair the intestinal barrier,and treat UC in many aspects.This article reviews the MAPK signaling pathway,the mechanism by which the MAPK signaling pathway regulates UC,and the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in treating UC based on the MAPK signaling pathway,hoping to provide theoretical support for the treatment of UC by traditional Chinese medicine and new ideas and references for the research of related new drugs.

This article retrospectively analyzed the involvement of clinical pharmacists in the treatment process and implementation of pharmacological supervision in a patient with septic arthritis secondary to tophi ulceration.The patient was admitted to the hospital and the emergency debridement and tophi removal were performed.Piperacillin-tazobactam,imipenem cilastatin,levofloxacin,linezolid,and vancomycin were given successively,and multiple debridement and drainage were performed,but the patient remained febrile and had recurrent infection indicators.According to the relevant guidelines and evidence-based evidence,combined with the patient's infection indicators,pathogen results and creatinine clearance rate,the clinical pharmacists recommended stopping vancomycin and changing to cefazolin,and the clinicians adopted it.After that,the patient's inflammatory indicators gradually decreased,and the body temperature stabilized.After 28 days of piperacillin-tazobactam administration,the patient developed a reduction in white blood cell count(2.34×109·L-1)and potassium(2.98 mmol·L-1).The pharmacist recommended prompt discontinuation of the drug,and the patient's white blood cell count and potassium gradually recovered.Eventually,after anti-infective treatment and surgical intervention,the patient was discharged with closure of the infected foci,conversion of multiple blood cultures to negative,and stabilisation of body temperature and renal function.This case reflects the role of clinical pharmacists in the management of drug treatment of critically ill patients,and may provide practical experience and reference for clinical treatment of such cases.

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and efficacy of plasma exchange artificial liver therapy in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF).Methods A total of 135 patients with ACLF treated in our hospital from May 2023 to May 2024 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into two groups based on different treatment methods:plasma exchange artificial liver therapy group(54 cases)and conventional therapy group(81 cases).Patients received different treatment according their liver function and coagulation function.We compared the laboratory test results,clinical efficacy,cytokine levels,and incidence of complications between the two groups of patients.Results The MELD score of patients was significantly higher in the artificial liver treatment group(2 527.96±1 504.21)than in the conventional group(1 854.75±940.23)(P=0.004),and the incidence of diabetes,coronary heart disease and liver cancer in the former group was significantly higher than that in the latter group(P=0.030,0.030).The total serum bilirubin,direct bilirubin,interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP),alpha fetoprotein,lymphocyte/monocyte ratio,and direct bilirubin/partial thromboplastin time ratio(PTR)in the artificial liver treatment group were significantly higher than those in the conventional group(P values＜0.001,＜0.001,0.040,0.030,0.040,and 0.006,respetively),while uric acid levels were significantly lower than those in the conventional group(P=0.040).The artificial liver treatment group had significantly lower incidence of infection and ascites during treatment than the conventional group(P=0.010,0.020).After artificial liver treatment,the patients' levels of IL-6,CRP,and alpha fetoprotein were significantly reduced.Conclusion Patients with complex chronic and acute liver failure are more recommended to directly undergo plasma exchange artificial liver treatment,which has definite efficacy and fewer complications.IL-6,CRP and alpha fetoprotein dynamically monitored can be regarded as indicators for efficacy of artificial liver treatment.
