Hypoxia is a significant risk factor of hypertension. However, no studies have used transcutaneous tissue partial pressure of oxygen (TcPO2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2) monitors to measure the respective partial pressures in healthy individuals. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is often used for traditional monitoring of vital signs. This study investigated the changes in TcPO2 and SpO2 values during rapid changes in altitude. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (registration no. NCT06076057). Healthy adult volunteers were instructed to sit vertically in a hypobaric oxygen chamber, which ascended from 0 m to 2500 m at a uniform speed within 10 min. The Danish Radiometer TCM4 was used to measure TcPO2 and TcPCO2 with the ventral side of the upper arm as the measurement site. The Shenzhen Kerokan P0D-1 W pulse oximeter was used to measure heart rate and SpO2, with values recorded once every 500 m. Altogether, 49 healthy volunteers were recruited between March 2023 and August 2023. With increasing altitude, TcPO2 and SpO2 decreased significantly (P < 0.01). During the ascent from 0 m, TcPO2 began to change statistically at 500 m (P < 0.05), whereas SpO2 began to change statistically at 1000 m (P < 0.05). At the same altitude, the difference in TcPO2 was greater than the difference in SpO2. At 1000 m, there were statistically significant changes in TcPO2 and SpO2 (P < 0.001). At altitudes >500 m, statistical significance was identified between TcPO2 in both sexes (P < 0.05). Statistical significance in TcPCO2 and heart rate was observed at the different elevations (P < 0.05). In acutely changing low-pressure hypoxic environments, TcPO2 changed more dramatically than SpO2.

This study aims to explore the significance of serum amylase levels in patients with organophosphorus pesticide (OP) poisoning and to provide a new perspective for evaluating the severity and prognosis of OP poisoning. The clinical data of 67 patients with acute OP poisoning, who had been treated in the emergency department of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University between September 2020 and August 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Using Spearman rank correlation, serum amylase levels during admission and severity of poisoning correlated with discharge outcomes. Based on serum amylase levels, receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to predict the severity and mortality of patients who experience organophosphate poisoning. The optimal threshold serum amylase level at admission was determined based on the maximum Youden index. Using Spearman rank correlation analysis, serum amylase levels at admission positively correlated with the severity of poisoning and discharge outcomes, but the degree of correlation was weak (r s: 0.344; 0.264; P < 0.05). The patients’ serum amylase levels at admission had receiver operating characteristic area under the curve values of 0.726 and 0.735 to predict the degree of severe poisoning and death, respectively. Based on the maximum Youden index, the optimal threshold of serum amylase were 97.8 and 194.1 U/L when the degree of poisoning was severe and the discharge outcome of patients was died. In comparison to patients with serum amylase levels ≤194.1 U/L at admission, the OR values of death in patients with serum amylase levels >194.1 U/L at admission was 15.944 (95% CI: 1.825–139.274). Serum amylase levels in patients with organophosphate poisoning correlate with the degree of poisoning and discharge outcomes. Higher serum amylase level was a risk factor for organophosphorus poisoning death.
