The soil used for experiments was collected from Beijing and classified as endoaquepts. Pots containing 500 g of the soil with different Cd and/or Pb application rates were incubated for a period of 0, 2, 9, 12 weeks in a glasshouse and the soil samples were analyzed for individual enzymes, including catalase, alkaline phosphatase and dehydrogenase, and the changes of microbial community structure. Results showed that heavy metals slightly inhibited the enzymatic activities in all the samples spiked with heavy metals. The extent of inhibition increased significantly with increasing level of heavy metals, and varied with the incubation periods. The soil bacterial community structure, as determined by polymerase chain reaction- denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis techniques, was different in the contaminated samples as compared to the control. The highest community change was observed in the samples amended with high level of Cd. Positive correlations were observed among the three enzymatic activities, but negative correlations were found between the amounts of the heavy metals and the enzymatic activities.展开更多

The aim of this project was to evaluate the efficacy of a strict blood collection procedure in reducing the blood culture contamination rate. Methods A prospectively controlled study was performed in two different medical areas in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) for 16 months (from May 2006 to September 2007). In test group, a strict blood collection procedure was carried out by trained nurses with the veinpuncture sites were scrupulously disinfected with 2.5% tincture of iodine plus 70% alcohol. In control group, commonly used procedure in PUMCH was performed with 0.45% chlorhexidine acetate plus 0.2% iodine. Blood culture positive results for 4 target organisms (Coagulase-negafive staphylococci, Propionibacterium acnes, physicians from infectious department to (contamination). Corynebacterium species and Bacillus determine whether a sample was true species) were further assessed by positive (pathogen) or false positive Results Total 9321 blood culture collections were analyzed. The blood culture contamination rate in test group was significantly lower than that in control group (5/3177 (0.16%) vs. 77/6144 (1.25%); x2=13.382, P 〈0.001). The most common contaminant was Coagulase-negative staphylococcus (76.83%). The average cultural time during which contaminated samples became positive was longer than that for true pathogen samples (42.0 hours vs. 13.9 hours, P=-0.041). Conclusion Using a strict blood collection procedure can significantly reduce blood culture contamination rate.展开更多
为定量分析生熟食品中单增李斯特菌在不同材质案板上的交叉污染水平,将1 m L单增李斯特菌初始菌悬液接种于卤猪舌中,模拟食品制备过程,在案板上先后对卤猪舌和生黄瓜进行切片处理,同时,设定4种常见场景,分别测定不同场景下单增李斯特菌...为定量分析生熟食品中单增李斯特菌在不同材质案板上的交叉污染水平,将1 m L单增李斯特菌初始菌悬液接种于卤猪舌中,模拟食品制备过程,在案板上先后对卤猪舌和生黄瓜进行切片处理,同时,设定4种常见场景,分别测定不同场景下单增李斯特菌从卤猪舌到案板以及案板到生黄瓜的转移率。此外,构建厨房模拟环境下食物经不同操作方式的暴露评估模型,比较消费者食用不同材质案板处理过的污染单增李斯特菌的生熟食品后发病率的大小。结果表明:不同场景下转移率在一定范围内变化,且不同材质案板同场景下转移率差异显著(P<0.05)。通过暴露模型证实,食用交叉污染的熟肉制品和生鲜蔬菜存在一定风险,且木质案板风险显著高于塑料和不锈钢案板。展开更多

The concentration of carbon is varied from 2.9 × 1017 to 5.7 × 10^18 cm-3 when the growth rate increases from 2.0 to 7.2 μm/h, as detected by secondary ion mass spectroscopy. It is shown that the presence of N vacancies give rises to high carbon concentration. We show that a reduction of the carbon concentration by one order of magnitude compared to the regular sample with nearly same growth rate can be achieved by operating at an extremely high NH3 partial pressure during growth. The intensity ratios of yellow and blue luminescence to band edge luminescence in the samples are found to depend significantly on carbon concentration. The present results demonstrate direct and quantitative evidence that the carbon related defects are the origin of yellow and blue luminescence.展开更多
