    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.

    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.

    This article summarizes the non-destructive testing techniques for concrete structures and their importance in evaluating the durability of concrete. With the aging of infrastructure, the demand for rapid and accurate evaluation and maintenance of concrete structures is increasing. Non destructive testing technology is highly valued for its ability to provide accurate evaluations without damaging the structure. The article introduces the main non-destructive testing methods, including ultrasonic testing, electromagnetic wave testing, and radiometric testing, and discusses in detail the application effects of these technologies in practical engineering. The advantages and disadvantages of each technology were also compared and analyzed. In the future, with the development of intelligence, integration, and portability, non-destructive testing technology will further improve detection efficiency and accuracy, and be widely used in long-term monitoring of infrastructure, providing technical support for extending the service life of structures and reducing maintenance costs.

    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.
