    Objective This study aims to compare and evaluate theperformance and applicability of two ammonia $\left({\mathrm{{NH}}}_{3}\right)$ detection methods in the field and laboratory. Methods The C16 portable ${\mathrm{{NH}}}_{3}$ gas detectorand GBZ/T 160.29-2004 ammonia Nessler’s reagent spectrophotometricmethod were used to perform 10 repeated measurements of 5 differentconcentrations $\left({{9.3}\sim {148.8}\mathrm{{mg}}/{\mathrm{m}}^{3}}\right)$ of ${\mathrm{{NH}}}_{3}$ standardgases. Results The results showed that the C16 portable detectorexhibited a highly linear relationship $\left({r ={0.9998}}\right)$ in fieldapplications, which was highly correlated with the concentration ofstandard gases; The GBZ/T 160.29-2004 method provides higher precisionmeasurement values in laboratory analysis. The relative standarddeviation and relative error of both methods are less than ±5%,demonstrating good precision and accuracy. The research conclusionindicates that the C16 portable detector is suitable for rapid on-sitedetection and emergency response, while the GBZ/T 160.29-2004 method ismore suitable for laboratory analysis that requires high precision. Conclusion This study provides a scientific basis for selectingappropriate ${\mathrm{{NH}}}_{3}$ detection methods, which is of great significance for improving thequality of environmental monitoring and occupational healthassessment.

    Objective To supervise and evaluate the rapid testing laboratory of edible agricultural products, and to check the implementation of local rapid testing. Methods On the basis of the relevant evaluation rules of Guangdong administration for market regulation, combined with the relevant requirements of the government's rapid inspection laboratory operation and management, a comprehensive evaluation of the rapid inspection laboratory was conducted from the aspects of laboratory site, rapid inspection system establishment, completion situation, sampling situation, original records, follow-up treatment, quick inspection products and equipment management. Results The supervision and evaluation of 12 government rapid inspection laboratories for edible agricultural products was carried out, and the comprehensive scores were all above 89 points. Each government rapid inspection laboratory assessed 6 blind samples, only E government rapid inspection laboratory blind sample assessment accuracy rate did not reach 100%. The results of supervision and evaluation were satisfactory. Conclusion The rapid inspection laboratory of local edible agricultural products has achieved certain results in giving play to the 'firewall' of rapid inspection and screening, but there are still some problems and risk points. It is suggested to start with personnel training, original records, rapid inspection products and equipment management, rapid inspection quality control, supervision and assessment, so as to promote the continuous improvement of the detection ability of the rapid inspection laboratory.

    Objective To clarify the detection status and antimicrobial sensitivity of clinically isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa, assist clinical doctors in using antibiotics based on evidence, delay the rate of bacterial resistance, and intervene purposefully in hospital acquired infections. Methods Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultured, isolated, and identified from clinical samples submitted by our company from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 were collected. According to the latest standard CLSI-M100-ED33, the bacteria were identified using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, and a fully automated identification and drug susceptibility analysis system was used for drug susceptibility testing. Results Pseudomonas aeruginosa was mainly isolated from elderly men over 60 years old. Sputum was the main source of infection specimens of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The infected patients were mainly distributed in respiratory and internal medicine departments. The isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa had high resistance to antibiotics such as amtraxam and ciprofloxacin, and high sensitivity to amikacin and tobramycin, and the overall antibiotic resistance showed a downward trend. Conclusion Strict detection of bacterial resistance and drug resistance genes should be carried out in clinical medicine, so that antibiotics can be used more rationally.

    University laboratory is an important place for scientific research, and the safety management of laboratory is directly related to the life safety of teachers and students, and will affect the smooth progress of scientific research. However, the traditional management mode has a certain lag, especially in the current situation of more and more types of various tests and more complex, it is very important to actively adopt efficient management to strengthen the management of university laboratory. Capability maturity model is an advanced management concept, which has been gradually introduced into the management of many organizational structures in recent years, and gradually introduced into the management of university laboratories. Therefore, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of university laboratory security management under the guidance of capability maturity model.

    Objective To explore and analyze the value of seruminflammatory indexes, D-dimer (D-D) and bone biochemical indexes inwound healing of patients with fractures. Methods The clinical data of92 patients with fracturesin the hospitalwere retrospectively analyzedfrom March 2021 to February 2023. The above patients were divided intodelayed group $(n ={47}$ , delayedfracture healing) and normal group $(n={47}$ , normal fracture healing). The levels of high-sensitivityC-reactive protein (hs-CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), D-D and bonebiochemical indexes (bone gla protein (BGP), type I procollagen aminoterminal peptide (PINP), type I collagen cross-linked carboxy terminalpeptide (CTX), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) were compared betweengroups. Pearson analysis was used to analyze the correlation between theabove indexes and delayed fracture healing. Receiver operatingcharacteristic curve (ROC) was adopted to evaluate the predictive valueof the above indexeson predicting delayed fracture healing. Results Thelevels of hs-CRP, PCT, D-D and CTX in delayed group were higher thanthose in normal group $\left({P<{0.05}}\right)$ while the levels of BGP, PINP and BALP werelower than those in normal group $\left({P<{0.05}}\right)$ . Serum hs-CRP, PCT, D-D and CTX in patientswith fractures were positively correlated with delayed fracture healing $\left({P <{0.05}}\right)$ , andBGP, PINP and BALP were negatively correlated with delayed fracturehealing $\left({P<{0.05}}\right)$ . Under the ROC curve, the areas under thecurves (AUCs) of hs-CRP, PCT, D-D, CTX, BGP, PINP, and BALP inpredicting delayed fracture healing were 0.693, 0.810, 0.722, 0.763,0.746, 0.868 and 0.839, the sensitivities were 59.57%, ${59.57}\%,{72.34}\%,{59.57}\%,{85.11}\%,{93.62}\%$ and 76.60%, and the specificities were 78.72%,97.87%,65.96%,89.36%,59.57%, 72.34% and 80.85% respectively. Conclusion hs-CRP, PCT, D-D andbone biochemical indexes are closely related to delayed fracture healingin patients with fractures, which should be paid attention to inclinical practice.
