Methods: from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, 25,468 emergency medical patients were collected in our hospital. The gender and age of patients were analyzed, and the number of patients in different seasons was summarized. At the same time, the direction of patients' medical treatment, the distribution number of patients in different periods and the situation of stay and disposal were sorted out. SPSS20.0 software was used to objectively analyze and statistically process a series of data, and finally the disease characteristics and stay and disposal of emergency medical patients in our hospital were obtained. Results: the majority of male patients came to the emergency department of internal medicine in our hospital, and middle-aged patients were the majority, followed by young patients, underage patients and elderly patients, with 10,380 cases, 7,678 cases, 4,730 cases and 2,680 cases respectively. In summer, 8027 patients came to emergency medical department, followed by 6299 cases in winter, 5610 cases in autumn and 5532 cases in spring. There are various directions of seeking medical treatment, including acute abdomen, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, nervous system diseases, acute poisoning, urinary infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, acute gastroenteritis and endocrine diseases. Most of the patients see a doctor at night, that is, from 18: 00 to 23.59, followed by afternoon (from 12: 00 to 17.59), then morning (from 6: 00 to 11: 59) and early morning (from 0: 00 to 5: 59). In the treatment of going to stay, the status of going to stay for different diseases is quite different. The maximum number of hospitalized patients with respiratory diseases is 3802, and the minimum number of hospitalized patients with gastrointestinal bleeding is 234. The maximum number of patients under observation was 4568 cases of acute abdomen, and the minimum number of patients with urinary infection was 88 cases. In the column of leaving hospital or transferring hospital, the maximum number of patients with acute abdomen is 450, and the minimum number of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding is 11. The above statistics and analysis data are statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: it is necessary to consciously improve the level of emergency medical treatment through the conclusions of this study, so as to ensure that patients who come to see a doctor can get a better experience and improve their satisfaction with the treatment, thus benefiting more emergency patients and strengthening the construction of emergency surgery, which is of great practical significance.展开更多

文摘Erythromycin fermentation residue(EFR)represents a typical hazardous waste produced by the microbial pharmaceutical industry.Although electrolysis is promising for EFR disposal,its microbial threats remain unclear.Herein,metagenomics was coupled with the random forest technique to decipher the antibiotic resistance patterns of electrochemically treated EFR.Results showed that 95.75%of erythromycin could be removed in 2 hr.Electrolysis temporarily influenced EFRmicrobiota,where the relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria increased,while those of Fusobacteria,Firmicutes,and Bacteroidetes decreased.A total of 505 antibiotic resistance gene(ARG)subtypes encoding resistance to 21 antibiotic types and 150 mobile genetic elements(MGEs),mainly including plasmid(72)and transposase(52)were assembled in EFR.Significant linear regression models were identified among microbial richness,ARG subtypes,and MGE numbers(r^(2)=0.50-0.81,p<0.001).Physicochemical factors of EFR(Total nitrogen,total organic carbon,protein,and humus)regulated ARG and MGE assembly(%IncMSE value=5.14-14.85).The core ARG,MGE,and microbe sets(93.08%-99.85%)successfully explained 89.71%-92.92%of total ARG and MGE abundances.Specifically,gene aph(3 )-I,transposase tnpA,and Mycolicibacterium were the primary drivers of the resistance dissemination system.This study also proposes efficient resistance mitigation measures,and provides recommendations for future management of antibiotic fermentation residue.

文摘Predicting the gas breakthrough pressure of saturated compacted bentonite is crucial for ensuring the long-term safe operation of deep geological repositories for the disposal of high-level radioactive nuclear wastes.In this work,the swelling pressure,water injection,gas injection and mercury intrusion porosimetry(MIP)tests on saturated compacted Gaomiaozi(GMZ)bentonite specimens with a dry density of 1.3 Mg/m^(3),1.4 Mg/m^(3),1.5 Mg/m^(3),1.6 Mg/m^(3) and 1.7 Mg/m^(3) were conducted.Subsequently,the relationships between the swelling pressure and average inter-particle distance,as well as between the gas entry pressure and the maximum effective pore size were analyzed and established.Considering that gas migration and breakthrough are all closely related to the pore structures of the tested geomaterials,a novel gas breakthrough pressure prediction model based on the pore size distribution(PSD)curve was constructed using an existing prediction model based on gas entry pressure and swelling pressure.Finally,based on the test results of the specimens 1.5 Mg/m^(3),1.6 Mg/m^(3) and 1.7 Mg/m^(3),gas breakthrough pressures of the specimens with dry densities of 1.3 Mg/m^(3) and 1.4 Mg/m^(3) were predicted.The results show that the calculated gas breakthrough pressures of 0.76 MPa and 1.28 MPa are very close to the measured values of 0.80 MPa and 1.30 MPa,validating the accuracy of the proposed model.

文摘In July 2025,Claudio Descalzi,CEO of Italian oil company Eni,stated in an interview with the Financial Times that Eni’s low-carbon business operating profits would equal those of its oil and gas business by 2035 and exceed oil and gas business profits by 2040.Meanwhile,British oil company bp is scaling back its low-carbon business under shareholder pressure,returning to traditional oil and gas operations,and plans to gradually dispose of USD 20 billion worth of low-carbon business assets such as onshore wind farms,aiming to increase oil and gas production to 2.3−2.5 million boe per day by 2030.Two European oil companies are heading in completely different strategic directions.In the future,whether Eni can achieve its expected goals of making renewable energy business a key core business,as well as what development strategies oil and gas companies should implement and adhere to,are questions worthy of deep consideration.

文摘Colloids are prevalent in nuclear waste repositories,with bentonite colloids posing an uncontrollable risk factor for nuclide migration processes.In this study,static adsorption experiments were coupled with dynamic shower experiments to comprehensively investigate the influence of bentonite colloids on Sr^(2+)migration in granite,considering adsorption capacity.Bentonite colloids have a considerably greater adsorption capacity than both bentonite and granite,with a maximum adsorption of 30.303 mg/g.The adsorption behavior of bentonite colloids on Sr^(2+)is well described by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models,indicating that a single-layer chemical adsorption process is controlled by the site activation energy.The adsorbed Sr^(2+)is unevenly distributed on the colloids,and the adsorption mechanism may involve ion exchange with Ca.Bentonite colloids exhibit superior adsorption in neutral environments.The cations in groundwater inhibit Sr^(2+)adsorption,and the inhibition efficacy decreases in the order Fe^(3+)>Ca^(2+)>Mg^(2+)>K^(+).The presence of bentonite colloids in a granite column slightly influences the retention of Sr^(2+)in the column while markedly reducing the Sr^(2+)penetration time from 70 h to 18 h.However,the coexistence of Co^(2+),Ni^(2+),and Cs^(+)in a multinuclide system weakens the ability of the colloids to promote Sr^(2+)migration.In comigration of colloid and multinuclide systems,the adsorption of nuclides by bentonite colloids causes the nuclide migration speed to decrease in the order Sr^(2+)>Cs^(+)>Ni^(2+)>Co^(2+).This study provides insights into Sr^(2+)migration in cave repositories for low-and medium-level radioactive waste.

文摘In the context of global COVID-19 epidemic preparedness,the extensive use of disposable surgical masks(DSM)may lead to its emergence as a main new source of microplastics in the environment.Nowadays,DSMs have become a non-negligible source of plastic waste in aquatic environment,however,less research has been done on DSM after biofilm colonization in freshwater environment.The study investigated the microbial community of DSM-associated biofilms by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.Analysis of the microbial community in the middle and inner/outer layers of the DSM showed that the middle layer was different from the remaining two layers and that potential pathogens were enriched only in the middle layer of the DSM.Herein,we focused on the middle layer and explored the characterization properties and extracellular polymeric substances(EPS)components changes during biofilm formation.The results showed that the EPS components varied with the biofilm incubation time.As the formation of biofilm,the protein(PN)and polysaccharide(PS)in EPS showed an overall increasing trend,and the growth of PS was well synchronized with PN.Three fluorescent components of EPS were determined by the three-dimensional excitation emission matrix(3D-EEM),including humic acid-like,fulvic acid-like,and aromatic protein-like components.The percentage of fluorescent components varied with increasing biofilm development time and then stabilized.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)characterization results elucidated the emergence of oxygen-containing functional groups during biofilm formation.Moreover,the hydrophilicity increased with biofilm development.In conclusion,the environmental behavior and ecological risks of DSM in aquatic environment deserve urgent attention in future studies.

文摘An important challenge in ensuring the long-term effectiveness of geological nuclear waste disposal is predicting the transportation of decay heat and gases released from nuclear waste canisters.In this study,thermo-hydromechanical(THM)coupled simulations were conducted using the TOUGH + FLAC3D simulator to predict the THM behaviors of a generic nuclear waste repository over 100,000 years following closure.The designed engineered barrier system(EBS)consists of the waste canister,backfill,and concrete liner.The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term performance of the repository in the presence of continued hydrogen(H_(2))and heat release around the canister.The simulation results show that thermal pressurization and gas accumulation significantly raise the pore pressure within the EBS and surrounding host rock,while the peak pore pressure is not likely to exceed the lithostatic stress so that there is no risk of widespread hydro-fracturing in the host rock.However,tension failure and fracturing can occur at the tunnel scale because of internal gas buildup.Meanwhile,the generated H_(2) continuously migrates outward and tends to accumulate in the concrete liner and excavation disturbed zone surrounding the tunnel because of lower capillary pressure.Nevertheless,the fluids that may contain radionuclides will not leach into the confining units over a 100,000-year time frame.Our analysis indicates that for the assumed disposal system in Opalinus Clay,the generated heat and gas can gradually be transported through the host rock without significantly disturbing the isolation characteristics of the repository.

文摘Vermicomposting is an efficient and environmentally friendly technology to dispose of agricultural organic residues.The efficiency of organic residue decomposition during vermicomposting is directly affected by the biomass and population structure of earthworms.In this study,we investigated how the earthworm biomass and population structure responded to changes in the physicochemical properties of six types of organic residue(cattle dung,herbal waste,rice straw,soybean straw,garden waste,and tea residues)during vermicomposting.Each type of organic residues was placed in a pot with earthworms Eisenia fetida,and the physicochemical properties of the organic residues and earthworm growth dynamics were recorded at 0,30,60,and 90 d of vermicomposting.The biomass and population structure of earthworms were stable or increased in rice straw,garden waste,and cattle dung within 60 d of vermicomposting,whereas in tea residues and herb waste,very little earthworm activity(3 adults and 2 cocoons)was recorded on day 30.Among the physicochemical parameters,the substrate C/N ratio was negatively correlated with earthworm growth dynamics.Decomposing organic residues showed higher NH_(4)^(+)-N and NH_(3)^(-)-N concentrations but a lower total organic carbon content,which negatively affected earthworm growth and reproduction.We recommend that chemical properties of vermicomposting systems should be monitored regularly.At the threshold levels of decomposing organic residue NH_(4)^(+)-N and NH_(3)^(-)-N concentrations,earthworms should be removed and the vermicompost can be harvested.Small-and large-scale farmers thus need to monitor the physicochemical properties of vermicompost to sustain active earthworm populations.
