Objective To identify and investigate the cause of the unacceptable bacteria level inside the lumen of fiberendoscope during monitoring so as to increase the pass rate of its cleaning and disinfection. Methods A failure mode effect analysis of the cause was done and the workflow was thereafter improved. Meanwhile, pre and post bacteriological monitor was applied to the fiberendoscope lumen samples. Results The number of scrubbing times while manual cleaning affected the monitoring results. The scrubbing times was amended and the pass rate increased from 84.15% to 98.65%. The results were significantly different The failure mode risk index of endoscope cleaning and disinfection was calculated, and the highest two items were: The number of scrubbing times the operators execute RPN=640, the method of lumen cleaning RPN=480. These were the key factors of qualification of monitoring. Conclusions After the amendment, no less than 5 times' scrubbing was required and the bacteriological monitoring method was used to analyze the effects,thereafter the pass rate of lumen bacteria monitoring can be increased significantly.

In the context of the combination of education for clinical medicine graduates and standardized training of resident doctors,the professional psychological quality of clinical medical postgraduates is confronted with a test.The professional psychological quality education is not only related to the professional development of medical graduate studlents,but also to the realization of the goal of training talents in medical colleges,even to the people's life and health.Medical institutions and relevant teaching hospitals can,through strengthening the psychological education system,promote the occupation education,carry out rich and colorful educational activities,strengthen employment guidance,and improve the security policy to improve the medical personnel quality,and promote the comprehensive reform of the medical and health education.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of HMGB1 and Smac/DIABLO protein expression in epithelial ovarian cancer.MethodsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining were used to detect the protein expression of HMGB1,Smac/DIABLO and cell apoptosis in 45 epithelial ovarian cancers by tissue microarray.ResultsThe protein expression of HMGB1 in epithelial ovarian cancers was significant higher than benign cancers and normal ovarian tissues( P ＜0.05).The protein expression of HMGB1 was related to the lymph node metastasis,which had a negative correlation with the cell apoptosis index ( rs =-0.583,P =0.000).The protein expression of Smac/DIABLO in epithelial ovarian cancers was significantly lower than benign cancers and normal ovarian tissues( P ＜0.05) ; the protein expression of HMGB1 in epithelial ovarian cancers had a negative relationship with protein expression of Smac/DIABLO( rs =-0.40,P =0.006).ConclusionsThe over-expression of HMGB1 in epithelial ovarian cancers may play an important part in the metastasis of the epithelial ovarian cancers.The over-expression of HMGB1 and the low-expression of Smac/DIABLO may take part in the occurrence and development of the epithelial ovarian cancers through abnormal cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE To reinforce the administration in the management of reusable medical appliances,and to ensure the quality of sterile.METHODS Every step of the integral sterilization were monitored.RESULTS The quality of every link in the course and the end quality of the reusable medical appliances were assured.All the pass-rates of routine examination and sample examination of our hospital and CDC in Zhuhai were 100%.CONCLUSIONS The process of integral sterilization in the management of reusable medical appliances can ensure the quality of sterile materials,and can prevent the nosocomial infections and guarantee the safety of patients.

BACKGROUND: It is the most effective and economical method to reduce the incidence of stroke by conducting the health education concerning the etiological factors or risk factors and therapeutic knowledge of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia among the public and improving their knowledge level about the prevention and treatment of stroke.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the cognition of the knowledge concerning the prevention and treatment of stroke among the public in Dongguan area.DESIGN: A cluster sampling and simple randomized sampling survey.SETTINGS: Department of Neurology, the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the Department of Neurology, Affiliated Tungwah Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: Between March and June in 2001, totally 2 500 cases were randomly selected by means of cluster sampling combined with simple randomized sampling from the residents and migrant populations no younger than 17 years old in the government organization, enterprises, factories of various forms, Dongguan University of Technology and senior middle schools of urban and rural Dongguan city and the administrative villages of the rural areas of Dongguan city in Guangdong province before March 2003.METHODS: The inventory was modified according to relevant literatures,including demographic data, general knowledge of stroke, and knowledge about the prevention, identification and treatment of stroke, and the pathway to obtain knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke.Each item for the knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke was marked as 1-4.5 points, and the total score was 60. There was no mark for the pathway to obtain knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke. One unit was investigated each time, and 300-600 questionnaires were sent out, 500 questionnaires were randomly handed out to the healthy physical examinees in the Tungwah Hospital.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The correct rate of answers to the questionnaire, the total score of each kind of knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke, the total score of each kind of knowledge in the subgroups, and the pathways to obtain knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke were mainly observed.RESULTS: Totally 2 320 complete and effective questionnaires were collected back. ① The average correct rate of answers to all the questions was 49.80%, and those of knowledges about identification and treatment were lower, the total score was ＜ 60% in 48.20% of the subjects. ② The level for each knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke was lower in males than in females (P ＜ 0.05), but higher in the middle-age and old groups than in the young group (P＜0.05), and it was decreased from various civil servants, free agents, workers, farmers and students in order (P＜0.05), and there was significant difference between students and free agents (P＜0.01); it was also decreased in order from higher educational level to middle and lower ones in order (P＜0.05); it was also higher in the subjects with stroke history than in those without (P ＜ 0.05). ③) After the subjects were subdivided according to gender, age, profession and educational level, the pathways to obtain knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke in order were reading newspapers and magazines,watching TV, reading handbooks about science popularization, influence from relatives and friends, promotion and education of medical staff, and the last one was the least in all the groups.CONCLUSION: The level for the knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke was lower among the public in Dongguan area during the investigation, especially the knowledges about identification and treatment, so proper measures should be adopted to further develop education on the knowledge about the prevention and treatment of stroke.

Objective To investigate the recognition of nurses and patients on chosing daily caregivers and analyze the influencing factors. Method Totally 1,119 nurses and 1,134 patients from five first-class and two second-class hospitals in Zhuhai participated in the survey using self-designed questionnaires from April to June in 2014. Results There were significant differences between nurses and patients in all life nursing projects (P<0.001) except making beds for patients. The top three factors influencing the nurses′recognition were shortage of nursing staff and time, less presence of professional values and feeling no respects. The top three factors influencing the patients′recognition included tending to be nursed by family members, worries about medical expenses, and nurses′being too busy on treatment. Conclusion The different recognitions of nurses and patients on daily caregivers are influenced by multiple factors. Therefore , nursing managers should take some effective strategies to change the concepts of nurses and patients so as to improve quality of nursing service.
