  • Research and Design of an Experimental Apparatus Based on the "Open Fireplace" in Xuanwei District

    Xuanwei district in Yunnan Province of China has pretty high incidence of lung cancer in China, even around the world. Studies have shown that there exists a close relationship between lung cancer and local indoor air pollution caused by Bituminous coal. Considering that the indoor air pollution in Xuanwei District is caused by "open fireplace", an indoor air pollution simulation system was designed, and an F344 rats lung damage model was established for this indoor air pollution fireplace. The model is based on indoor air pollution simulation system with signal multiplexer control and multichannel acquisition, and mining PID algorithm was used for polynomial fitting to each test point, and a relatively constant PM2.5 air pollution status was simulated. The results showed that the system could simulate a variety of states of air pollution, provide a new test method for evaluation of human injury caused by indoor air pollution and a new idea for the study of the incidence of lung cancer in Xuanwei district and other places.

  • The burden of cardiovascular disease attributed to household air pollution from solid fuels in China from 1990 to 2019

    Objective To analyze the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and its trend attributed to household air pollution (HAP) from solid fuels in China from 1990 to 2019. Methods Using the data derived from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019), including mortality rates, disability-adjusted life years (DALY), age-standardized mortality rates, age-standardized DALY rates, annual percentage change (APC), and average annual percentage change rate (AAPC), we analyzed the CVD burden and its trend attributed to HAP in China from 1990 to 2019. Results In 2019, HAP in China resulted in 227 000 deaths and 5 182 200 DALYs of CVD; the mortality rate attributed to HAP was 15.96 per 100 000, and the DALY rate was 364.34 per 100 000. In 2019, the age-standardized mortality and DALY rates in China were 12.52 and 262.65 per 100 000, respectively, which were lower than the rates globally, and the rates for males were higher than those for females (13.90 vs. 11.32 per 100 000, 291.76 vs. 234.50 per 100 000). In 2019, both mortality and DALY rates attributed to HAP increased with age, peaking in the age groups of 95 plus and 85-89, respectively. From 1990 to 2019 in China, both age-standardized mortality and DALY rates of CVD attributed to HAP showed a downward trend over time. The average annual percentage change rate (AAPC) of the age-standardized mortality rate was −6.0% (95%CI: −6.2% to −5.8%), and the APCC of the age-standardized DALY rate was −5.8% (95%CI: −6.1% to −5.6%). The burden of the CVD subclass also showed a downward trend. Conclusion From 1990 to 2019, the burden of CVD attributed to HAP from solid fuels in China shows a significant downward trend, with sex and age differences. Females and the elderly are the key groups of disease burden, so effective interventions should be taken for these groups.

  • Investigation and sensory control of surface and air pollution in isolation ward of severe COVID-19 patients

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of disinfection measures in the isolation ward of ICU in severe patients infected with the Omilkerong variant of the new coronavirus, and to optimize the infection control measures. MethodsReferring to the patient's epidemiological and nucleic acid sample data, nucleic acid sampling was performed on the isolated ward environment by surface sampling method, and the nucleic acid Ct value of virus was detected by parallel fluorescence PCR method. The aerosol was collected by a wet-wall cyclone sampler, and the nucleic acid Ct value of the virus was detected by parallel fluorescence PCR. ResultsBefore daily disinfection, SARS-CoV-2 positive samples were found on the surface of the patient's ward and air sampling after the tracheoscopic tracheostomy. No positive samples of SARS-CoV-2 were found on the surface of articles and air in the patient's ward after daily disinfection. ConclusionThe daily disinfection measures of the hospital can achieve the effect of SARS-CoV-2 disinfection, which suggests that the surface of the articles in the ward after invasive operations such as tracheostomy and tracheoscopy, especially within 2 meters of the tracheostomy and the tracheostomy, is the key part of disinfection, which needs to be paid attention to.
