ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of environmental factors,including high temperature,high humidity and low temprtature,on the quality of whole blood.Methods Fresh blood was collected from 9 blood donors and divided into 40 parts.One group that comprised 20 samples was used to assess the effects of storage at high temperature and high humidity (0,3,6,12 and 24 h),and the other group(20 samples)was used to determine the effects of low temprtature(0,1,2 and 3 h).The serum free hemoglobin(FHb)concentration, plasma prothrombin time(PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),thrombin time(TT)and fibrinogen(FIB)were measured and analyzed.Results The high temperature(27-37℃)and humidity(60%-90%RH)had no effect on FHb, PT, APTT, TT or FIB of whole blood. The low temperature(0-13℃and -18--20℃)had some effect on the quality of whole blood.The FHb of test group was higher than that of control group.There was no significant difference in PT, APTT, TT and FIB between the two groups.Conclusion Under high temperature and humidity conditions, 24 hours of whole blood placement is feasible. Under low temperature or cold conditions,short-term whole blood placement is feasible in a tent with heating facilities.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of extremely high temperature and high humidity exposure on the survival and blood biochemical indexes of SD rats and the to the major organs .Methods Twenty-six SD rats were divided into the normal tem-perature and humidity group and the extremely high-temperature and high-humidity group .The mortality of SD rats in extremely high-temperature and high humidity environment was observed ,and at the median lethal time ,the living rats were undergoing the tests of serum biochemical indicators and the pathological examination of the heart ,lung ,kidney ,brain ,muscles and intestinal tis-sues .Results The exposure to the extremely high-temperature and high-humidity environment could lead to the death of SD rats , the median lethal time was 48 h .The serum creatinine(Scr) increased significantly(P<0 .05) ,and the serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) decreased significantly (P<0 .05) when compared with the normal temperature and humidity group ,and there was no significant difference in other biochemical indicators .The inflammatory cell infiltration was ob-served in heart ,lung ,kidney and intestines ,and there were no obvious pathological changes in brain and muscle .Conclusion The exposure to the extremely high-temperature and high-humidity environment has obvious lesion on SD rats ,it can lead to the abnor-mality of some biochemical indicators ,the inflammatory changes in heart ,lung ,kidney and intestines ,and even death .
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the stability of baicalin magnesium salt. METHODS:The stability of baicalin magnesium salt at high temperature(60 ℃),high humidity(90%),strong illumination(4000 lx),different temperatures(20,37,50,60 ℃) and pHs(6.80,5.70,4.60,4.30,3.90,3.60,3.20) was investigated,and HPLC was used to detect the drug contents. RESULTS:High humidity test indicated that the quality of baicalin magnesium salt was increased by (6.17 ± 0.12)% in the 5th day and in-creased by(6.92±0.05)% in the 10th day. Drug contents in the 10th day were respectively(94.78±0.12)%,(94.79±0.20)%, (94.66±0.15)% in the high temperature,high humidity,strong illumination tests(n=3). In phosphate buffer solution(pH 6.80), baicalin magnesium salt was stable only when the temperature was below 20 ℃;and it was yet stable in pure water(pH 6.76)at 37 ℃. pH stability test showed that the most stable pH was 4.30. CONCLUSIONS:Baicalin magnesium salt has hygroscopicity to some extent. Strong illumination affects the stability more seriously than high temperature and high humidity. The stability of ba-icalin magnesium salt in pure water is superior to in phosphate buffer solution,and the salt is stable in weak acid solution.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the carriage of nuc-mecA gene among different altitudes in high humidity district,provid-ed guiding data for prevention of staphylococcus aureus and drug-resistant bacteria,standardizing the usage for antibiotics. Methods The nose swabs were collected in different altitudes:1 000 m,1 200 m and 1 400 m,nuc-mecAgene was confirmed by multi-channel real-time PCR.Results The carrier of nuc gene in the noses were 4.878%,2.899% and 7.143%,in 1 000 m,1 200 m and 1 400 m respectively,and there were no statistical significant among the altitudes (P>0.05).The carrier of mecA gene were 14.634%,31.884% and 41.837% in the 1 000 m,1 200 m and 1 400 m respectively,the difference showed statistical significe (P0.05).Conclusion The carrier of mecA gene in noses was increased with the increasing of the altitude. The residents who living at higher altitude should keep the colonization sites of pathogens clean,and needed timely medical when got sick,shouldn’t abuse the antibiotics without authorization.Medical staff should rational use of antibiotic drugs,a-voided overusing of antibiotics and overtreatment.
