      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo analyze the biofilm forming ability and antimicrobial resistance of  coagulasenegative staphylococcus(CNS)isolated from  blood culture.Methods126 strains of CNS from blood culture in a hospital were collected, biofilm formation was analyzed with  96well polystyrene plates, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to detect mecA gene, antimicrobial resistance was analyzed.ResultsAmong 126 CNS isolates, 87(69.04%) were positive for biofilm,105 (83.33%)carried mecA gene. The resistant rates of CNS to penicillin, oxacillin, and erythromycin were all> 80%, none of the strains were resistant to linezolid, quinupristin / dalfopristin, vancomycin, and tigecycline; resistant rates of methicillinresistant CNS (MRCNS) to ciprofloxacin, gentamicin,levofloxacin, penicillin, rifampicin, and compound sulfamethoxazole were all higher than  methicillinsusceptible CNS(MSCNS) (all P<0.05). Of MSCNS, 2 carried mecA gene.ConclusionCNS isolated from blood have strong biofilm forming ability, most are MRCNS and with multidrug resistance; there are strains with inconsistence of drugresistant  phenotype and genotype.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo evaluate serum Slit2 protein level in patients with chronic severe hepatitis B, and the relation with extent of liver damage and prognosis of patients.MethodsIn FebruaryJuly 2014, patients with chronic hepatitis  B(chronic hepatitis group)  and chronic severe hepatitis  B(chronic severe hepatitis group) in an infectious department were observed, healthy volunteers were as control group, and patients in chronic severe hepatitis group were subdivided into recovery subgroup and nonrecovery subgroup based on whether patients had recovered. Serum Slit2 protein, prothrombin activity(PTA),   total bilirubin (TBIL), and  alanine transaminase(ALT)levels were detected and compared.ResultsA total of 157 patients (chronic hepatitis  group, n=93; chronic severe hepatitis group, n=64) and 10 healthy volunteers were included in the study . Slit2 protein levels were significantly different among three groups(F=5.596,P=0.004), serum Slit2 protein levels in chronic hepatitis group and chronic severe hepatitis group were (4.90±1.07) ng/mL  and (3.09±1.00)ng/mL respectively, both were higher than (2.10±0.60)ng/mL in healthy control group (both P<0.05); serum Slit2  protein  level in chronic severe hepatitis group was significantly lower than chronic hepatitis group (P<0.05). Serum Slit2 protein level in nonrecovery subgroup of chronic severe hepatitis group was significantly lower than recovery subgroup ([1.88±0.67] ng/mL vs [2.96±1.32]ng/mL, t=2.319,P=0.032). Serum Slit2  protein  level in patients with chronic hepatitis  B was positively correlated with PTA level(r=0.33,P<0.05), but negatively correlated with serum TBIL level (r=-0.46,P<0.05) and ALT level (r=-0.32,P<0.05).ConclusionSerum Slit2 protein level is an important index which can reflect the prognosis of patients with chronic severe hepatitis, low serum Slit2 level suggests the poor clinical prognosis.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of  tourniquet on incisional  infection  based on animal model, and evaluate the effect of ischemia preconditioning on incisional  infection, so as to provide experimental basis for the rational use of tourniquet in clinic.Methods100 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 25 mice in each group. Group A: tourniquet+methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) incisional infection; group B: ischemic preconditioning+MRSA incisional infection ; group C : MRSA incisional infection; group D: blank control. The survival rates, temperature, routine blood testing, and change in soft tissue beside femoral incision were compared among 4 groups.ResultsDuring observation period ,the survival rate in group A was 68%, in group B,C, and D were all 100%,  group A was lower than group B,C, and D (P<0.05). The temperature at each time point was significantly different among group A, B, and C (P<0.01); temperature curves of 4 groups were significantly different (P<0.01); except basal body temperature, temperature at the other  time points among 4 groups were significantly  different(all P<0.01); routine blood testing results (white blood cell count, total granulocyte count, and total lymphocyte count) among 4 groups  on the third, and seventh day were significantly different(all P<0.05); on the seventh  day, routine blood testing results of 4 groups all returned to normal level, but group A was slightly higher than group B,C, and D. Section of epithelial tissue revealed that epithelial tissue in group A was not healed,inflammatory response of peripheral tissue was most serious;epithelial tissue in 10 mice in group B was healed,partial peripheral tissue revealed inflammatory response;epithelial tissue in 4 mice in group C was healed,most peripheral tissue revealed inflammatory response.ConclusionMice incisional infection will be aggravated by using lower limb tourniquet, incision healing and body function recovery time will be delayed, even lead to death. Ischemic preconditioning before making an incision model can reduce the severity of incisional infection, and shorten wound healing time.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo explore the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) and  compliance to bundled intervention measures, and evaluate the effect of bundled interventions on controlling SSI.MethodsFrom October 2013 to September 2014, three types of surgeries (colorectal surgery, abdominal hysterectomy, and femoral neck repair surgery) in 29 hospitals in China were monitored, October 2013 to March 2014 was baseline investigated stage, April 2014 to September 2014 was intervention stage. ResultsA total of 6 166 episodes of surgeries  were monitored, the incidence of SSI was 1.64%, incidence of  SSI following colorectal surgery, abdominal hysterectomy, and femoral neck repair surgery were 4.47%, 1.03%, and 0.21% respectively. The P75 time of three types of surgeries were 3, 2, and 2 hours respectively.Compared with the baseline stage, the compliance to most intervention measures improved after intervention, the largest increase in the compliance to interventions was  disinfection with chlorhexidinecontaining disinfectant at surgical sites of colorectal surgery (increased by 29.09%), followed by preoperative shower of femoral neck repair surgery (increased by 26.24%), preoperative shower  of colorectal surgery(increased by 22.95%),  and skin preparation on the day of operation (increased by 20.75%). Incidences of SSI in three types of surgeries were not significantly different before and after intervention(all P>0.05).ConclusionThe incidences of SSI are different among different types of surgeries,the compliance to most bundled intervention measures has improved to some extent after intervention, but effectiveness of intervention measures needs to be further observed.

      ObjectiveTo realize basic status of occupational exposure among medical postgraduates, and provide theoretical evidence for making occupational precaution measures.MethodsData about occupational exposure among medical postgraduates in a teaching hospital between January 2011 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsA total of 3 362 medical postgraduates  were monitored, 56 (1.67%) sustained occupational exposure. The most common occupational exposure sites were left hand  thumbs(n=15, 26.79%), occupational exposure most frequently occurred during operation(n=29,51.79%),a total of 40(71.43%)  occupational exposure occurred during the process of  operation and invasive procedure,all were sharp injuries. 46(82.14%) exposure sources were with bloodbornetransmitted diseases. Surgery students accounted for 66.07%(n=37) of students sustained occupational exposure, exposure rate in master’s candidates was higher than doctoral  candidates(2.31% vs 0.28%,χ2=18.325,P<0.001). After timely treatment and preventive medication, none of the students were infected.ConclusionIt is necessary to strengthen the occupational safety education for medical postgraduates, improve precaution awareness, standardize all kinds of procedures,and implement standard precaution; timely and effective treatment after exposure is important for reducing occupational injury among medical postgraduates.

      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo intervene hand hygiene(HH)  of health care workers (HCWs) in an intensive care unit(ICU) of a hospital,  and evaluate HH compliance of  HCWs and influencing factors.Methods37 HCWs from an ICU of a teaching hospital were chosen as studied subjects, HH status before and after intervention was observed and analyzed by direct and indirect methods.ResultsIn the first monitoring stage, HH rate in baseline and postintervention survey stage was significantly different (46.96% vs  63.30%, χ2=7.344,P=0.007); in the second monitoring stage, HH compliance rate increased from 57.85%  to 88.58%. HH compliance rate was positively correlated with consumption of HH product per  bedday(r=0.725,P<0.001), but negatively correlated with incidence of healthcareassociated infection(HAI) and case rate of HAI(r=-0.983, -0.990, respectively, both P<0.001), HH rate to alcoholbased hand sanitizers was positively correlated with consumption of HH product per bedday (r=0.391, P<0.001).ConclusionLongterm monitoring and intervention of HH compliance is necessary, combination of direct observation and indirect assessment of HH product consumption is helpful for effective monitoring and intervention of HH compliance among HCWs.

      Abstract:

      凡不能用其他原因解释的腹泻(稀便≥3次/24 h),加上粪便中检测出艰难梭菌(Clostridium difficile,CD)及其毒素,或结肠镜和组织学检查证实为假膜性结肠炎均可确诊为CD感染(Clostridium difficile infection,CDI)[1]。CD是引起抗菌药物相关性腹泻最常见的病原体,约占抗菌药物相关性腹泻的10%~30%。近年来,毒力更强的BI/NAPI/027型CD菌株的出现使CDI发病率增加,且疾病程度更加严重[2]。
