Objective To investigate medical students’demand for knowledge about healthcare-associated infec-tion(HAI),explore the opportunity and method of setting up curriculum about nosocomiology.Methods 447 medi-cal students who were about to start clinical practice were investigated through questionnaires.Results 434 (97.09%) questionnaires were available.152 (35.02%)medical students had access to knowledge about HAI,148 (34.10%) knew or learnt six-step hand-washing method,80 students understood six-step hand-washing method through media and society (n=65,81 .25%)or school curriculum (n=15,18.75%).95.62% of students hoped to set up curric-ulum about nosocomiology,354 (81 .57%)students preferred this discipline to be set up before clinical probation;55.07% of students hoped this course should be set up as a practice course,44.93% thought that theory and prac-tice should be combined.Occupational precaution measures as well as methods of disinfection and isolation were the most interesting knowledge among them.Conclusion Nosocomiology should be an obligatory course in medical col-leges,the semester before clinical practice is the best time for this course,the curriculum should combine theory with practice.

Purpose::The purpose of this study was to review the microsurgical anatomy and clipping of ruptured anterior communicating artery (AComA) aneurysms and to plan and avoid complications before operation.Methods::A total of 523 cases of cerebral aneurysms admitted to the neurosurgery department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from September 2010 to October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 85 patients had ruptured AComA aneurysms. This study was limited to 85 of these cases, whose satisfactory preoperative angiographic diagnostic films can be retrieved from the hospital database system because of the need for detailed review.Results::We performed supraorbital eyebrow keyhole approach (SOEK) craniotomy in 85 patients to clip 85 AComA aneurysms, in the setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Patients’ mean age was (52.69 ± 9.94) years (range, 28-78 years). The proportions of small, medium and large aneurysms were 83.5%, 15.3%, and 1.2%, respectively. The average size of the aneurysms was (5.07 ± 2.36) mm. There were 77.8% of patients with inferior aneurysms and 81.3% of patients with superior aneurysms achieved good results. There was a significant correlation between A1 dominance and operation method ( p < 0.001). There was no significant relationship between surgical approach and aneurysm projection or A2 plane ( p = 0.157 & p = 0.318). Conclusion::Regardless of whether the A2 plane is open or closed, the A1 dominant side is still a better choice for accessing AComA aneurysms to avoid dangerous premature bleeding.

Objective:To analyze the current mental health status of employees in large public hospitals and its correlation with factors such as social support.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2023. Using cluster sampling, employees from Beijing Hospital, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, and the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences were surveyed. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect indicators related to mental health. Mental health status was assessed using a self-evaluation questionnaire, with scores ≤6 indicating good mental health and scores ≥7 indicating the need for attention. A total of 3 828 questionnaires were distributed, and 3 803 valid responses were included in the final analysis. The study analyzed the current mental health status and its correlation with factors such as social support among the included employees. Social support indicators included living alone, frequency of contact with relatives or friends, and participation in group activities. Other factors included job type (physicians, nurses, medical technicians and researchers, and administrative and logistical employees), gender, professional title, education level, and satisfaction with workplace benefits.Results:The study included 3 803 respondents, comprising 874(23.0%) males and 2 929 (77.0%) females; 743 (19.5%) aged ≤30 years, 2 177 (57.2%) aged 31-45 years, and 883 (23.2%) aged >45 years. Among them, 1 238 (32.6%) employees needed attention for their mental health. The female, nurse, unmarried, post-graduate degree or less, and employees with low satisfaction with unit welfare need to pay attention to their mental health (all P<0.05), their total social support score ( t=138.59, P<0.001) and grade ( χ2=255.25, P<0.001) are lower. In terms of social support factors, non-living alone, frequent communication with relatives and friends and participation in group activities were independent protective factors for mental health (all P<0.05). The protective association between education and mental health of female workers was stronger than that of male workers (female OR=0.348, 95% CI: 0.198-0.614 vs male OR=0.653, 95% CI: 0.430-0.994). Non-living alone was the only protective factor for nurses′ mental health ( OR=0.515, 95% CI: 0.367-0.723); However, high professional title ( OR=0.362, 95% CI: 0.182-0.720) and educational background ( OR=0.365, 95% CI: 0.175-0.758) were only protective factors for physicians′ mental health (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The mental health of employees in large public hospitals is differentiated among different subgroups, such as gender, position and educational background, which needs attention in general. In terms of social support factors, non-living alone, frequent communication with relatives and friends, and participation in group activities were associated with good mental health. Hospital trade unions and other departments should carry out more targeted help and support to create a better mental health environment for employees.
