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 the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) combined with sharp His angle reconstruction (LSG-His) versus traditional LSG.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study we collected clinical data of patients with obesity who had undergone LSG or LSG-His in the Department of General Surgery, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January to June 2022. After excluding patients with incomplete follow-up data and those with hiatal hernia, 83 obese patients, of which 39 who had undergone LSG (LSG group) and 44 who had undergone LSG-His (LSG-His group), were included in the study. The basic steps in LSG-His are the same as in conventional LSG. After continuous suturing of the gastric staple line, one stitch is placed between the proximal side of the gastric greater curvature staple line and the proximal side of the gastric fundus posterior wall with the left diaphragm, and another stitch between the right side of the gastric fundus and the esophagus, reconstructing the sharp His angle. Clinical data, postoperative complications, and follow-up data on weight loss and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-discharge were compared between the two groups. GERD symptoms were assessed using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire and Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire.Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline characteristics, length of hospital stay, hospitalization costs, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative nausea and vomiting, dysphagia, or postoperative complications (all P>0.05). Compared with the LSG group, the LSG-His group had significantly longer operative times (92 [80, 100] minutes vs. 80 [70, 100] minutes, U=2.227, P=0.026), higher postoperative 24-hour pain scores (5.2±1.8 vs. 4.3±1.9, t=-2.065, P=0.041), and higher rates of morphine use (70.5% [31/44] vs. 46.2% [18/39], χ2=4.519, P=0.025). The incidence of new-onset GERD 12 months postoperatively was significantly lower in the LSG-His than the LSG group (10.7% [3/28] vs. 61.3% [19/31], χ2=14.00, P<0.001). According to changes in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire and Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire scores, the LSG-His group also had significantly lower rates of exacerbation of GERD (2/16 vs. 5/8, χ2=4.27, P=0.021) and higher rates of GERD remission (12/16 vs. 2/8, χ2=3.62, P=0.032) than did the LSG group. Additionally, excess weight loss rates were significantly higher in the LSG-His group at 3 months [(54.7± 18.7)% vs. (46.5±15.0)% , t=-2.166, P=0.033], 6 months [(73.8±24.7)% vs. (64.0±19.1)% , t=-2.018, P=0.047], and 12 months [(82.9±26.7)% vs. (72.2±19.3)%, t=-2.063, P=0.042] than in the LSG group. Conclusion:Compared with LSG, LSG-His is safe and feasible and achieves better short-term control of postoperative GERD and more effective weight loss. Further large-scale, long-term, prospective studies are needed to confirm the long-term efficacy of LSG-His.

Objective:To investigate the effects of applying the "4C" teaching method combined with the Gibbs' reflective cycle to clinical nursing teaching in the department of urology.Methods:A total of 68 nursing students who practiced in the urology department of our hospital were divided using a lottery method into experimental group ( n=35, entering the second and third wards for internship) and control group ( n=33, entering the first and fourth wards). The experimental group was taught using the "4C" teaching method combined with the Gibbs' reflective cycle, including four teaching steps (connection, concept, concrete practice, and conclusion) and regular reflective discussions. The control group received traditional teaching, which covered entrance education, centralized theoretical training, skills demonstration, and exit assessment. At the end of internship, the two groups were compared in terms of self-directed learning ability, nursing competency, and theoretical and practical scores. SPSS 23.0 was used to perform the t test. Results:The self-directed learning scores of the experimental group and the control group were (227.37±12.91) and (207.09±16.27), respectively. The nursing competency scores were (156.66±12.49) and (138.06±17.23), respectively. The experimental group was significantly superior to the control group in self-directed learning ability ( t=5.71, P<0.001), nursing competency ( t=5.12, P<0.001), theoretical score ( t=3.03, P=0.004), and practical score ( t=4.88, P<0.001). Conclusions:The "4C" teaching method combined with the Gibbs' reflective cycle can effectively improve nursing students' self-directed learning ability and nursing competency, and help them better master knowledge and skills.

Objective:To explore the assessment value of multimodal imaging technique for the hepatic fibrosis(HF)of rats.Methods:Forty-eight SD rats were selected,and they were divided into control group,M1 model group,M2 model group and M3 model group according to random number table,with 12 rats in each group.The three model groups were induced by combination method of carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)plus ethanol to establish HF model.At the 4th,6th and 8th week of modelling,the M1 model group underwent ultrasound examination,and the M2 model group underwent examination of magnetic resonance,and the M3 model group adopted the examinations of conventional ultrasound,ultrasound elastography and dynamically contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI).The rats of control group were randomly divided into three subgroups,with four rats in each subgroup,which were controlled with the rats in the M1,M2 and M3 groups,respectively.At the end of the imaging examinations,the HE staining were conducted on the liver tissues so as to observe the HF degree of rats.The conventional ultrasound was used to observe the morphology of the rat liver,and to measure the inner diameter of the main trunk of the portal vein.colour Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the blood flow velocity of portal vein.Ultrasound elastography was used to observe the color distribution of liver parenchymal stiffness,and to measure the elasticity value of liver parenchyma.The initial area under curve(iAUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)was adopted to analyze the volume transit constant(Ktrans),rate constant(Kep)and extravascular extracellular space volume fraction(Ve)of the hemodynamic parameters in enhanced magnetic resonance examination.Results:The conventional ultrasound showed there was no abnormal changes in the livers of rats in control group,and the morphology of the liver of M1 group occurred changes.Ultrasound elastography showed that the elasticity values of the liver of rats in M1 group appeared upward trend with the aggravation of the HF degree than control group.Conventional MRI of group M2 showed that the liver morphology was normal in the control group,and the changes of the liver morphologies of rats in M2 group at the 6th and 8th week post modeling were more obvious than that at the 4th week post modeling.The ROC curve analysis of DCE-MRI results showed that Ktrans and Ve had higher diagnostic efficacy for HF,and their iAUC values were>0.9.The results of intergroup comparison of rats among M1 model group,M2 model group and M3 model group indicated that the sensitivity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of multimodal imaging technique were significantly higher than those of single examination in diagnosing HF at early stage of rats,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=0.634,0.644,0.621,0.543,P<0.05),respectively.HE staining results showed that the liver tissues of the rats in the model groups appeared fibroplasia of different degrees.Conclusion:Multimodal imaging technique can be used as an effective test method of evaluating hepatic fibrosis.

Objective:To investigate clinical, histopathological, molecular genetic characteristics, and immunophenotypes of superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT) .Methods:The pathological data were collected from 19 cases of SCPFT from January 2015 to July 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, and analyzed retrospectively.Results:In total, 19 cases of SCPET were enrolled, including 8 males and 11 females. Their age at onset ranged from 16 to 67 years, and the disease duration ranged from 3 months to 3 years. Tumors occurred in the thigh (6 cases), back (4 cases), shoulder (3 cases), abdominal wall (2 cases), popliteal fossa (1 case), lower leg (1 case), foot (1 case) and forehead (1 case). The tumor lengths were 0.8 - 4 (2.36 ± 0.76) cm, with relatively clear borders. Surgical excision was performed in all the 19 cases, and 1 case experienced recurrence. Histopathological examination showed that tumors were located in the dermis and subcutis, and infiltrated the peripheral fat tissues or the dermis; tumors were composed of abundant spindle cells and polygonal cells arranged in interlacing fascicles; cells with nuclear pleomorphism were observed in all cases, and were characterized by large, hyperchromatic and irregular nuclei, intranuclear pseudoinclusions, and prominent nucleoli; the mitotic figure was rare, and tumor necrosis was not found; inflammatory cell infiltration to different extents was observed in the tumor stroma, and lymphocyte sheaths were observed around the tumors in 2 cases. Immunohistochemical staining showed strong diffuse expression of CD34 in the tumor cells in all the 19 cases, the Ki-67 proliferation index was < 10% in 18 cases, and CKpan (2/12), desmin (2/15), and smooth muscle actin (1/19) were focally expressed. Fluorescence in situ hybridization for the detection of PRDM10 gene rearrangements was performed in 3 cases, and identified PRDM10 rearrangements in 2 cases, including 1 case of SCPFT accompanied by lymphocyte sheaths without EWSR1 rearrangements. Conclusion:SCPFT is an intermediate fibroblastic tumor with no characteristic clinical manifestations, often accompanied by PRDM10 rearrangements, and its diagnosis depends on histopathological patterns.

Objective:To understand the prevalence and genotype characteristics of enterovirus and Coxsackie virus in hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) patients in Qinghai province from 2015 to 2018.Methods:The throat swabs of HFMD patients were collected for virus isolation and RT-PCR in Qinghai province. The nucleotide sequence of the amplified products was determined and analyzed, and the gene evolution tree was constructed with reference to the sequence of some strains of NCBI.Results:From 2015 to 2018, 1 738 samples of clinical diagnosis positive cases were collected, including 326 EV-A71 cases, accounting for 18.76%, 237 CV-A16 cases, accounting for 13.64%, 628 CV-A6 cases, accounting for 36.13%. There were statistically significant differences among different genotypes in 4 years (EV-A71, χ2=245.315, P<0.001; CV-A16, χ2=27.680, P<0.001; CV-A6, χ2=702.713, P<0.001). A total of 317 cell culture isolates were obtained after isolation with RD cells. After sequence, DNA sequences of typical genotypes were selected for sequence analysis, from 2017 to 2018. The homology of all genotypes of VP1 was between 59% and 100%, the homology was 93% to 100% in 19 strains of EV-A71, the homology was 92% to 100% in 20 strains of CV-A16, the homology was 97% to 99% in 6 strains of CV-A6. According to the evolutionary tree, the sequences of EV-A71 strains are all on the C4a branch of the evolutionary tree in Qinghai province; 18 strains of CV-A16 were B1b and 2 stains were 1D; 5 strains of CV-A6 were D3 and 1 was B1. Conclusions:From 2015 to 2018, the prevalent genotypes of HFMD shifted from EV-A71 to CV-A16 and CV-A6 in Qinghai province, The EV-A71 genotype in Qinghai province has always been C4a genotype. There are different genotypes of CV-A16 and CV-A6. The nucleotide sequence differences between different genotypes are large, and the sequence variation among the same gene is small.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rubella and the genetic characteristics of rubella virus (RV) circulated in Qinghai province in 2020, so as to provide scientific basis for optimization and improvement of local rubella prevention and control strategy.Methods:The rubella epidemiological characteristics were analyzed by summarizing the data on the rubella incidence in Qinghai province in 2020 from the National Notifiable Disease Reporting System. Through Qinghai provincial measles and rubella laboratory network, throat swab samples from susceptible rubella outbreak and sporadic cases in 2020 were collected and identified. RV strains were obtained after three passages of virus isolation from positive samples. After extracting the viral RNA, the 739 nucleotide fragments within the E1 gene were amplified and determined to identify the genotype and sub-genotype of the Qinghai strains in 2020 and further analyzed the molecular differences between Qinghai strains and the RV strains circulated in China.Results:In 2020, the rubella incidence in Qinghai province had shown an obvious upward trend, and the age of onset had shifted to adolescents in the 10-19 years of age group (accounting for 94.9%). Totally 29 RV strains were isolated from four high incidence areas of rubella in Qinghai province. All RV strains were identified as sub-genotype 2B-L2c, which is also the dominant subtype of RV circulated in China. In addition, virological surveillance data showed that there were different transmission chains of sub-genotype 2B-L2c in Qinghai province in 2020, and an outbreak might be caused by different transmission chain viruses.Conclusions:The accumulation of rubella susceptible population aged 10-19 years and the transmission of new imported 2B-L2c virus had led to the rubella reemergence and outbreaks in several cities in Qinghai province in 2020.

Objective:To understand the genotype and genetic characteristics of rubella virus (RV) circulated in Qinghai province.Methods:The throat swabs were collected from suspected rubella cases in two cities of Qinghai province in 2010 and 2019, respectively. After nucleic acid detection and virus isolation, the target genotyping sequences (739 nucleotide fragments of E1 gene) of positive virus isolates were amplified and determined. The sequences of the viruses were compared with 32 reference strains of 13 genotypes recommended by World Health Organization(WHO) to determine the genotype, and the genetic relationship between Qinghai isolates and RV strains from other provinces of China was also analyzed.Results:In this study, four RV virus strains were isolated, and the genetic relationship analysis showed that these virus strains were classified into 1E-Cluster A sub-genotype and 2B-Cluster C sub-genotype, which was basically consistent with the epidemic trend of RV in other provinces of China. The four virus strains in Qinghai province were highly conserved at the amino acid level, but region-specific mutation sites were also found.Conclusions:This study provides some laboratory data for the formulation of rubella prevention and control strategy in Qinghai province..
