The safety of university laboratories is a fundamental guarantee for promoting the continuous development of education and scientific research, and for teachers and students to carry out work and study smoothly. In China's vigorous promotion of the construction of "Double First Class” universities, the existing management methods and personnel configuration are unable to meet the current national requirements for laboratory safety management in universities. Building a scientific, comprehensive, practical, and easy-to-use laboratory safety management platform is an important issue that universities urgently need to study and solve. This article analyzes the necessity of building a laboratory safety management platform in universities under the current information technology background. Based on the actual work of Xinjiang University, a laboratory safety management system construction plan is proposed, and the system operation effect is analyzed to achieve systematic and intelligent management of the laboratory. It has played a positive role in supporting the cultivation of innovative talents and standardizing laboratory management, and has achieved certain results.
Based on the current status of university laboratory culture construction, this paper deeply analyzes the existing problems. Drawing on the concept of the management model of EHS (environment, health, safety) in management science, a generalized EHS model applicable to the management of university laboratories is proposed. Furthermore, an evaluation index system model (seven-force diagram) for laboratory safety culture construction is constructed based on the AHP (analytic hierarchy process) method, which can effectively enhance experimental safety and ensure standardized management of university laboratories.

Objective Through the statistical analysis of the actual detection results of Down's disease screening and the pregnancy outcome of follow-up in Zhuhai, the health economics evaluation was carried out. Methods The data of 31967 pregnant women who underwent serum screening (SS) and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) during the same pregnancy in Zhuhai City from 2018 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The cost-benefit analysis was conducted according to 5 different screening strategies. Results Among 31,967 pregnancies, 38 were Down syndrome babies (including 3 pregnant women aged over 35 years), with a Down syndrome incidence of 1/841. Serological screening detected 1,649 cases of high risk of T21, of which 21 were true positives, with a positive predictive value of 1.27% and a detection rate of 55.3%; NIPT screening detected 49 cases of high risk of T21, 38 cases of Down syndrome babies, with a positive predictive value of 77.55% and a detection rate of 100%. The total cost generated by calculation strategy 4 was the lowest, about 27.44 million yuan. Conclusion NIPT can be used as primary screening test instead of serological screening method in prenatal Down's screening for secondary prevention and control of birth defects, which has great social and economic benefits.

This study aims to develop a rapid detection method based on multiplex real-time quantitative PCR technology for accurate identification and quantification of common pathogenic bacteria on face masks, to assess the hygienic condition of masks and control nosocomial infections. Methods Using TaqMan probe-based real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR as the core technology, specific primers and fluorescently labeled probes were designed and optimized for simultaneous quantification of specific gene sequences from three pathogens through one-tube multiplex detection. The experiment began by screening specific target genes and sequences from the NCBI database and designing primers and probes. Subsequently, quality testing of primers and probes was conducted, and standard samples were prepared through amplification of specific sequences and TA cloning. Finally, standard curves were established, and mask samples were tested. Results After optimizing experimental conditions, an efficient and stable multiplex real-time quantitative PCR detection system was successfully established. The detection efficiency of standard samples for three pathogens was evaluated at different concentration gradients. The detection data showed that the primers and probes had high specificity for target pathogens, and the amplification efficiency and signal intensity met experimental requirements. In the detection of mask samples, the method accurately quantified the genomic DNA copy numbers of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus hemolyticus, thereby assessing the degree of microbial contamination on masks. Conclusion The rapid detection method for pathogenic bacteria on masks based on multiplex real-time quantitative PCR technology demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, and speed, providing strong technical support for clinical and public health
Objective This study aims to evaluate the stability and repeatability of digital pressure gauges in laboratory environments, to verify their measurement accuracy in different pressure ranges and performance in long-term use, and to provide scientific basis for the calibration and application of digital pressure gauges. Methods The experiment adopted a multi-point and multiple measurement method, selecting three different pressure points of 0.1,0.3,0.6 MPa for testing. Ten repeated measurements were taken at each pressure point to evaluate the repeatability of the digital pressure gauge. Meanwhile, through long-term measurements every three months for one year, observe the stability performance of the digital pressure gauge during long-term use. The experimental environment conditions are strictly controlled, with a temperature maintained at${\left({20}\pm 2\right)}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$and a relative humidity between${40}\%$and${60}\%$. Results The standard deviations of the digital pressure gauge at the three pressure points were 0.10088 , 0.30057 and 0.60087, respectively. The standard deviations were small and the repeatability was good. At the same time, during long-term use, the measurement values at each measurement point have a relatively small change amplitude, and the changes in range and average values are within the allowable error range, indicating that it has good long-term stability. Conclusion Digital pressure gauges exhibit high repeatability and stability in laboratory environments, making them suitable for high-precision pressure measurement applications. This study provides a scientific basis for the calibration and practical application of digital pressure gauges, and also provides a reference direction for the research and improvement of related equipment in the future.
