The COVID-19 epidemic has spread to the whole world for three years and has had a serious impact on human life, health and economic activities. China's epidemic prevention and control has gone through the following stages: emergency unconventional stage, emergency normalization stage, and the transitional stage from the emergency normalization to the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category B" normalization, and achieved a major and decisive victory. The designated hospitals for prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Tianjin has successfully completed its tasks in all stages of epidemic prevention and control, and has accumulated valuable experience. This article summarizes the experience of constructing a hospital infection prevention and control system during the "Category B infectious disease treated as Category A" period in designated hospital. The experience is summarized as the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system, namely "three rings" outside, middle and inside, "three districts" of green, orange and red, "three things" before, during and after the event, "two-day pre-purification" and "two-director system", and "one zone" management. In emergency situations, we adopt a simplified version of the cluster hospital infection prevention and control system. In emergency situations, a simplified version of the "Cluster" hospital infection prevention and control system can be adopted. This system has the following characteristics: firstly, the system emphasizes the characteristics of "cluster" and the overall management of key measures to avoid any shortcomings. The second, it emphasizes the transformation of infection control concepts to maximize the safety of medical services through infection control. The third, it emphasizes the optimization of the process. The prevention and control measures should be comprehensive and focused, while also preventing excessive use. The measures emphasize the use of the least resources to achieve the best infection control effect. The fourth, it emphasizes the quality control work of infection control, pays attention to the importance of the process, and advocates the concept of "system slimming, process fattening". Fifthly, it emphasizes that the future development depends on artificial intelligence, in order to improve the quality and efficiency of prevention and control to the greatest extent. Sixth, hospitals need to strengthen continuous training and retraining. We utilize diverse training methods, including artificial intelligence, to ensure that infection control policies and procedures are simple. We have established an evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure that medical personnel are in an emergency state at all times.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of miR-141-5p and its effect on Imatinib(IM) resistance in CML. Methods: qRT-PCR was used to detect miR-141-5p mRNA levels in IM resistant and sensitive patients.Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins such as MMP-3,MMP-9,and Bcl-2 before and after transfection in K562 and K562/G01 cells.CCK-8 was used to detect of K562 and K562/G01 cell activity;Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the binding of miR-141-5p with ABCG1;Nude mice were used to validate the effect of miR-141-5p on tumors in vivo. Results: The results showed that miR-141-5p was downregulated in IMresistant CML patients and IM-resistant CML cells and overexpression of miR-141-5p could inhibit the growth of IMresistant CML cells and promote their apoptosis.Research on tumor bearing mice had shown that miR-141-5p inhibits tumor growth in vivo.Finally,it was found that miR-141-5p could directly target ABCG1 in IM-resistant CML cells to regulate CML occurrence. Conclusion miR-141-5p and ABCG1 form a competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA) network to function in IM resistance,thus facilitating CML progression.

Objective To investigate the pass rates of fit tests for various brands of medical protective masks and to explore methods for quickly matching these masks based on their head and face dimensions.Methods A total of 202 medical staff from designated hospitals in Tianjin were selected as subjects.Quantitative fit tests were conducted on 5 brands of masks(A,B,C,D,and E)using an aerosol condensation nucleus counter.Two-dimensional photographic measurement was used to obtain the face length and width of the subjects,categorizing them into face types#1 to#10.The pass rates of masks across different face zones,brands,and face types were compared.Results A total of 202 testers participated in this study.According to the guidelines,face type#1 was the most common[43.6%(88/202)],followed by face type#3[18.2%(37/202)].The majority of subjects were categorized as face types#1,#2,#3,and#4,totaling 176 subjects(87.1%).A total of 914 tests were conducted,with 678 passes,resulting in an overall mask pass rate of 74.18%.The pass rates of masks A,B,and C were significantly higher than those of masks D and E[87.03%(161/185),85.57%,(166/194),82.02%(146/178)vs.62.98%(114/181),51.70%(91/176),all P<0.05].The pass rate of adjustable head-mounted masks was significantly higher than that of non-adjustable masks[79.54%(587/738)vs.51.70%(91/176),P<0.05].The fit factor(FF)for mask B in face types#1 to#5 was significantly higher than that in face types#6 to#10[200(163,200)vs.132(86,200),P<0.05].Conclusions Two-dimensional photographic measurement can quickly obtain facial information of the subjects and match the corresponding masks.Hospitals can match masks with higher test pass rates according to the proportion of face types among medical staff.When selecting masks,preference should be given to adjustable head-mounted masks.

Objective To investigate the value of methyltransferase-like protein 16(METTL16)in the clinical di-agnosis and prognostic prediction of multiple myeloma(MM)patients.Methods The expression level and prog-nostic potential of each gene involved in N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification in MM were respectively ana-lyzed in the databases of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation(MMRF)and the Genotype-Tissue Expression Project(GTEx).Bone marrow specimens from 26 patients with initial diagnosis of MM and 19 patients with MM af-ter treatment with standard regimens and peripheral blood specimens from 24 normal subjects were collected respec-tively,and the expression levels of m6A genes were determined by qRT-PCR.The correlation between METTL16 expression and various laboratory and clinical indexes was analyzed:hemoglobin(Hb),white blood cell count(WBC),platelet count(PLT),blood creatinine(Scr),serum calcium(Ca2+),β-microglobulin(β-MG),bone destruction,ISS stage,type,and overall survival(OS)in the patients with primary diagnosis.The expression lev-els of interleukin(IL)-4,IL-6,IL-10,IL-18 and chemokine ligand 2(CCL2),CCL3,CCL4 in the specimens were further examined and their correlation with the expression of METTL16 was investigated.Results Database a-nalysis suggested that METTL16 expression was significantly higher in MM patient samples compared with normal controls,which was associated with poor prognosis and had certain diagnostic value.qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of METTL16 in the bone marrow of patients with initial diagnosis of MM was significantly higher than that of treated patients and normal controls.Its expression was positively correlated with hemoglobin,leuko-cytes and stage,and its expression was positively correlated with CCL4 expression.Conclusion METTL16 expres-sion was significantly elevated in patients with MM,and its expression level was correlated with anemia,more bone destruction and worse stage,which might indicate a poor prognosis.The significant correlation between the expres-sion of METTL16 and CCL4 suggests that METTL16 may play a corresponding pathogenic role through the relevant pathway.METTL16 will have significant clinical value in the management of MM.

Objective To investigate the value of Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) in predicting the short- and long-term risks of death in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Methods A total of 317 patients with ACLF who attended The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from December 1, 2016 to December 1, 2021 were enrolled, and according to their prognosis, they were divided into death group with 169 patients and survival group with 148 patients. The two groups were analyzed in terms of clinical data and follow-up data. The group t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for the prognosis of ACLF patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Log-rank test was used for comparison of survival time between patients with different CCI scores. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the performance of CCI and other indices in assessing the prognosis of ACLF patients. Results Among the 317 patients, there were 225 (71.0%) male patients. There were significant differences between the death group and the survival group in age, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, total bilirubin, albumin, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, prothrombin time activity, CCI, age-adjusted Charlson co-morbidity index (ACCI), and follow-up time (all P < 0.05). The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the CCI (hazard ratio [ HR ]=1.351, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 1.112-1.641, P =0.002), ACCI ( HR =1.200, 95% CI : 1.011-1.423, P =0.037), and MELD score ( HR =1.076, 95% CI : 1.054-1.099, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of ACLF patients. Based on CCI score, the patients were divided into CCI ≤4 group with 167 patients, CCI=5 group with 64 patients, and CCI ≥6 group with 86 patients, with a 3-year mortality rate of 26.5%, 83.2%, and 96.9%, respectively, and there was a significant difference in survival time between any two groups after 3 years of follow-up and at the time of follow-up till September 2022 (all P < 0.001). CCI, ACCI, and MELD scores had an area under the ROC curve of 0.845, 0.811, and 0.790, respectively, in predicting the prognosis of ACLF patients. Conclusion As commonly used comorbidity assessment indices, CCI and ACCI scores have certain value in evaluating the short- and long-term prognosis of ACLF patients.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis （PSC） is an immune-mediated chronic cholestatic liver disease and can progress to end-stage liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis and liver failure， and there are still no effective treatment methods at present. Studies have found that T lymphocytes are closely associated with the development and progression of PSC. This article reviews the role of T lymphocytes in PSC， so as to provide new ideas for research on the pathogenesis of PSC and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PSC.

Risk scores assessed by the intelligent calculation method of the ICU patients were collected, including nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002), Caprini score and Padua score. NRS 2002 score for all patients, Caprini score for surgical patients and Padua score for internal medicine patients were selected. Trends in change of each score were compared between patients admitted to ICU 1, 3, 7 (if necessary), 10 (if necessary), and 14 days (if necessary).Results:A total of 138 patients were involved, including 79 males and 59 females, with an average age of (61.71±18.86) years and an average hospital stay of [6.00 (4.00, 9.25)] days. ① in the group with ICU length of stay ≥ 14 days (21 cases): there was no significant change in the NRS 2002 scores of the patients within 10 days, but the NRS 2002 score was significantly decreased in 14 days as compared with 1 day [3.00 (2.50, 3.50) vs. 4.00 (3.00, 5.00), P < 0.05]; both Caprini and Padua score were increased with prolonged hospital stay and compared with 1 day, the scores at the other time points were significantly increased, especially at 14 days [Caprini score: 5.00 (3.25, 7.00) vs. 2.50 (1.25, 5.50), Padua score: 6.00 (6.00, 7.00) vs. 3.00 (1.00, 3.00), both P < 0.05].② in the group with ICU length of stay from 10-13 days (15 cases): with the prolonged hospital stay, there was no significant change in NRS 2002 score, but both Caprini and Padua score were increased at 3, 7, 10 days, especially at 10 days [Caprini score: 3.00 (2.00, 4.75) vs. 2.00 (0.25, 2.75), Padua score: 5.00 (3.50, 6.00) vs. 2.00 (0.50, 4.00), both P < 0.05].③ in the group with ICU length of stay from 7-9 days (23 cases): compared with 1 day, the NRS 2002 score at 3 days and7 days were decreased, but the Caprini and Padua score were increased, especially at 7 days [NRS 2002 score: 2.00 (1.00, 4.00) vs. 2.00 (2.00, 4.00), Caprini score: 3.00 (2.00, 5.50) vs. 2.00 (0.25, 3.00), Padua score: 5.00 (4.00, 6.00) vs. 2.00 (0, 2.00), all P < 0.05]. ④ in the group with ICU length of stay from 3-6 days (79 cases): compared with 1 day, the NRS 2002 score at 3 days was decreased [NRS 2002 score: 2.00 (1.00, 3.00) vs. 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), P < 0.05], Caprini and Padua score were significantly increased [Caprini score: 3.00 (2.00, 4.00) vs. 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), Padua score: 5.00 (4.00, 5.00) vs. 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Based on dynamic assessment of intelligent calculation methods, the risk of thrombosis in ICU patients increased with hospital length of stay, and the nutritional risk was generally flat or reducing in different hospitalization periods.

Objective:To explore the accuracy of intelligent calculation (IC) method for risk assessment of hospitalization for patients, aiming to build a more advantageous risk assessment system.Methods:The "Search Engine" program was developed based on hospital information system (HIS) of the Fifth Center Hospital in Tianjin, which automatically captured patient information and generated nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score, Caprini thrombosis risk assessment model and Padua thrombosis risk assessment model for venous thromboembolism (VTE), the CHA 2DS 2-VASc for predicting stroke risk stratification in atrial fibrillation and the HAS-BLED for predicting bleeding risk in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation. A randomized controlled trial was conducted. According to the applicable conditions of each risk assessment, 100 risk scores from "Search Engine" program belonged to each risk assessment were randomly selected, defined as the IC group. Manual scoring with the data of the same case at the same time, defined as the traditional calculation (TC) group, compared the consistency of the scores and the difference in time-consuming between the two groups. Results:The Bland-Altman plots showed that the 95% limits of agreement (95% LoA) of NRS 2002 score, Caprini score, Padua score, CHA 2DS 2-VASc score and HAS-BLED score was -0.46 to 0.41, -0.49 to 0.52, -0.50 to 0.41, -0.67 to 0.60, -0.44 to 0.43, respectively, all P > 0.05. In this study, the Bland-Altman plot showed that 95%, 96%, 97%, 97%, 95% plots fell within the 95% LoA in NRS 2002 score, Caprini score, Padua score, wwCHA 2DS 2-VASc score and HAS-BLED score by the two methods, respectively. The all plots of 95% LoA were within the clinically acceptable range (-0.5 to 0.5 scores). The time-consuming of NRS 2002 score, Caprini score, Padua score, CHA 2DS 2-VASc score and HAS-BLED score in IC group were significantly shorter than those in TC group [0.72 (0.71, 0.73) seconds vs. 361.02 (322.41, 361.02) seconds, 0.72 (0.72, 0.73) seconds vs. 196.68 (179.99, 291.20) seconds, 0.72 (0.72, 0.73) seconds vs. 105.75 (92.32, 114.70) seconds, 0.72 (0.71, 0.72) seconds vs. 72.66 (56.24, 84.20) seconds, 0.72 (0.71, 0.72) seconds vs. 51.30 (38.88, 57.15) seconds, respectively, all P < 0.001]. Conclusion:For the above five risk assessments, the TC method and IC method has good consistency in scores, and the IC method is faster, which has good application prospect for clinical application.

Objective:To compare the effects of freshwater and seawater drowning on sheep's pulmonary circulation hemodynamics and respiratory mechanics.Methods:According to the random number table method, healthy crossbred sheep were divided into freshwater drowning group ( n = 12) and seawater drowning group ( n = 12). 30 mL/kg of freshwater or seawater was infused respectively through trachea for approximately 5 minutes. Before the drowning, immediately after drowning, and 30, 60, 120 minutes after drowning, the systemic circulation hemodynamic parameters [heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO)] were monitored by pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO); the respiratory parameters were obtained through the ventilator, including tidal volume (VT), lung compliance (Cdyn), oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), peak airway pressure (Ppeak)]; PiCCO and the right heart floating catheter (Swan-Ganz catheter) was used to measure pulmonary hemodynamic parameters [pulmonary systolic pressure (PAS), pulmonary diastolic pressure (PAD), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), and extravascular lung water (EVLW)]. The animals were sacrificed at the end of the experiment, and the amount of residual water in the respiratory tract was measured; the pathological changes in the lung tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Results:① Systemic circulation hemodynamics: compared with the values before drowning, HR, MAP, and CO at the time of immediately after drowning in both freshwater and seawater were significantly increased and peaked. In addition, all indicators in the freshwater drowning group were significantly higher than those in the seawater drowning group [HR (bpm): 170.75±1.87 vs. 168.67±2.27, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 172.92±1.62 vs. 159.42±3.18, CO (L/min): 13.27±0.71 vs. 10.33±0.73, all P < 0.05].② Respiratory parameters: compared with values before drowning, PaO 2/FiO 2, VT, and Cdyn decreased immediately in both freshwater and seawater drowning groups, Ppeak was significantly increased; in addition, the values in the seawater drowning group were decreased or increased more significantly than freshwater drowning group [PaO 2/FiO 2 (mmHg): 37.83±1.99 vs. 60.42±5.23, VT (mL): 86.25±7.66 vs. 278.75±9.67, Cdyn (mL/cmH 2O): 8.86±0.33 vs. 23.02±0.69, Ppeak (cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa): 42.17±2.69 vs. 17.67±1.15, all P < 0.01]. In addition, PaO 2/FiO 2 in the freshwater drowning group was gradually increased over time, while the seawater group continued to decline.③ Pulmonary circulation hemodynamic parameters: PAS, PAD, PAWP at the time of immediately after drowning in both freshwater and seawater groups were significantly higher than before drowning; in addition, the freshwater drowning group was significantly higher than the seawater drowning group [PAS (mmHg): 34.58±2.87 vs. 26.75±1.66, PAD (mmHg): 27.25±1.22 vs. 16.75±0.87, PAWP (mmHg): 27.83±1.85 vs. 11.75±1.82, all P < 0.01]. Thereafter, PAS and PAD in the freshwater drowning group gradually decreased, while the parameters in the seawater drown group continued to increase. PAWP gradually decreased after freshwater or seawater drowning, and recovered to pre-drowning levels 120 minutes after drowning and 30 minutes after drowning, respectively. EVLW continued to increase after freshwater drowning, reaching a peak at 30 minutes, and then decreased, until 120 minutes after drowning was still significantly higher than that before drowning (mL/kg: 10.73±1.27 vs. 7.67±0.69, P < 0.01); EVLW could not be measured.④ Residual water in the respiratory tract: residual water in the freshwater drowning group was significantly less than that in the seawater drowning group (mL: 164.33±25.21 vs. 557.33±45.23, P < 0.01).⑤ HE staining: partial alveolar atrophied in the freshwater drowning group, some alveolar spaces were broken, alveolar spaces and alveolar cavity showed a little powdery substance deposition; it was noted that alveolar expanded in the seawater drowning group, alveolar spaces were broken and bleeding and edema were obvious in the interstitial space. Conclusion:The effect of seawater drowning on the respiratory mechanics and pulmonary circulation of animals is more obvious than that of freshwater drowned animals, and the amount of residual water in the respiratory tract is also significantly more than that of freshwater drowned animals.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic is the most widespread global pandemic in the past 100 years. Person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 infection leads to the major threat of human safety and health. At 00:00 on January 24th, 2020, Tianjin City launched the first-level response to the COVID-19 epidemic. At 18:00 on the same day, Management Committee of Dongjiang Free Trade Port Zone of Tianjin received areport that there were 15 people who had fever on the Costa Crociere carrying 4 806 people from Japan back to the home port of Tianjin Dongjiang Cruise. At the same time, there are more than 140 Chinese Hubei tourists. Tianjin Municipal Committee and Government, Tianjin Customs, Binhai New Area District Committee Government, Tianjin Health Commission, Tianjin Binhai New Area Health Commission formed an emergency command center immediately to deal with the epidemic comprehensively. At 06:40 on January 25th, 2020, the medical investigation team made up by Tianjin Binhai New Area Health Commission and Tianjin East Administration of Customs boarded the cruise ship. With reference to the customs inspection and quarantine regulations, in accordance with the Diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia caused by novel coronavirus (trial version 3) for mulated by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China and the Novel coronavirus infected pneumonia port control and technology plan (first version) formulated by the General Administration of Customs, combined with the actual situation of cruise ships, the medical investigation team developed the inspection standards, including door-to-door inspections, temperature measurement and epidemiological investigations on all persons on board of the cruise ship. A total of 4 806 person-times were investigated in the affected area, including 3 706 tourists and 1 100 crew members. Seventeen people at high risk of COVID-19 were identified, including three Wuhan tourists. The reports of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) nucleic acid detection on throat swab samples for those who were identified as high risk were returned as all negative at 14:54 on the same day. At 19:30, the medical investigation team completed the investigation and evacuated the cruise ship. The temperature measurement, medical observation and resettlement of passenger were handed over to relevant personnel. After 2 weeks, the follow-up result of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid of 17 high risk people were all negative. The overall command and comprehensive coordination of the onshore command center together with the rigid principles and excellent responds ability of the on-site epidemic investigation team ensured the successful completion of the epidemic investigation work, and also provided reference for further improving the management and disposal capacity of public health emergencies at sea.
