Objective To explore the factors influencing emergency staff′ compliance with standard precautions in the tertiary hospitals, in order to provide a theoretical basis for improving the standard precautions. Methods Using qualitative research method, eight focus groups were conducted with emergency staff in the tertiary hospitals in China from October to December in 2015. Interview data were imported into Nvivo10.0 qualitative analysis software, using content analysis method for its collation and analysis. Results Factors that affect the standard precautions compliance were grouped into five themes: availability and practicality of protective equipment, organizational climate, safety awareness, obstructive elements to the behavior, and trigger elements to the behavior. Conclusions Standard precautions compliance of emergency medical staff is affected by many factors, management departments should actively build a good professional environment and reinforce safety awareness of the emergency staff.

Objective To explore factors associated with emergency room(ER)length of stay and provide basis for the emergency managers about the development of relevant measures.Methods Data of critically ill patients from the emergency room in a tertiary teaching hospital from January 2010 to June 2011 were retrospectively studied.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine possible factors and further compare the clinical characteristics of the patients.Results(1)From January 2010 to June 2011 a total of 11 468 patients were seen in the emergency department,the median ER length of stay was 11 h,a number of 6 525 patients(56.9%)stayed in ER more than 6 h.(2)Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the main factors contributing to length of stay more than 6 hours were types of wards,green channel,treatment time,followed by admitted to ICU,traffic,sent by 120,the number of initial diagnosis,destinations of disposition,sex,holiday visit,visit month.While age,occupation,residence were not factors.Conclusions The patients in this hospital has a prolonged length of stay.The associated factors included types of wards,green channel,treatment time deserves a further study.

Objective To study a quick and effective assessing method used in the emergency trauma patients in order to prevent delaying treatment for patients from overlook or misdiagnosis during triage. Method From 1 January 2006 to 31 September 2006, there were 4023 patients evaluated with trauma assessment method, which was composed of CRAMS scale and trauma assessment program. Results Of 4023 patients, there were 2430 cases with CRAMS below 1( < 7) ,of whom 1979 cases assessed with trauma assessment program were found to be injuried severely to threaten their lives. And more noticeably,of 1593 patients with CRAMS ≥7 there were 46 patients found to have life-threatening injuries assessed with trauma assessment method. Conclutions CRAMS score can be used for triage, and trauma assessment program can be used to evaluate the injuries anatomically. Trauma assessment program and CRAMS employed conjointly can increase the sensitivity and specificity for the stratification of the severity in the injuried patients in order to get a successful triage and lo take advantage of the resources of e-mergency care appropriately.

The QCC campaign at the emergency center was themed as minimizing incidence of risky transport of critically ill patients,which aimed at continued quality improvement by means of conditions review,problem analysis,measures making,and procedure improvement.The incidence of risky transports dropped from 26% to 0.9% in six months.Another promising outcome was a sharp betterment of clinical nurse management. It has proved that QCC can effectively downsize risky transports of critically ill patients,making it a functional means to improve nursing quality.

Objective To investigate the value of the multiple short tandem repeat (STR)amplification by fluorescence labeling polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with fusion gene bcr-abl mRNA expression for quantitative determination of chimerism and qualitative detection of bcr-abl transcripts,and to evaluate the status of engraftment and predict the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods 5 relapse patients with CML after alIo-HSCT were dynamically investigated. Quantitative analysis of donor chimerism was performed by multiplex PCR amplification of STR markers and capillary electrophoresis with fluorescence detection, qualitative detection of bcr-abl transcripts was performed by RT-PCR. Results The donors alleles appeared in all of 5 patients on day 28 post transplant, and bcr-abl expression was negative. But 5 patients had unstable mixed ehimerism. (DC: 0~80.4 %) at the different time points after aIIo-HSCT and bcr-abl was positive. One of them kept eontinuely the mixed chimerism in the relapse of disease, and died after one year, and the other changed from MC to CC by intervention of clinical treatment. Reduction of donor chimerism were detected prior to the occurrence of graft rejection and disease relapse, while bcr-abl gene expression was positive. Conclusion The results of STR-PCR in the range of its sensitivity fully correspond with bcr-abl tests in patients with CML. The combination of STR-PCR with RT-PCR provides a highly sensitive and valuable tool for engraftment evaluation, graft rejection, relapse and predicting GVHD. Furthermore it can provide a basis for early intervention of clinical treatment, and can identify these patients at high risk with molecular or cytogenetic relapse after allo-HSCT.

Objective To evaluate the CT and MR features of renal oncocytoma in order to improve the ability for recognition and ima-gingdiagnosis.Methods The CT and MR findings of renal oncocytoma in 12 patients proved by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results CT scans were performed in 12 patients,one of which was accompanied with the contralateral renal angiomyoliptoma.In all lesions, seven were in the right kidney and five in the left.The lesions were round or oval in shape with the diameter 1.5 cm-12.3 cm.On pre-contrast scan,the homogeneous density was found in 3,calcification in 2,and central scar tissue in 5.On post-contrast images,the parenchyma of tumor was obviously enhanced in the cortical phase.However,the enhancement was attenuated in the parenchymal phase.Seven patients underwent MRI at the same time,exhibiting iso-or hypointensity on T1 WI in 4 and heterogenous hyperintensity on T2 WI in 5.Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI demonstrated homogenous enhancement in 1 and heterogenous enhancement in others with delayed enhancement of the central scar.Conclusion Most renal oncocytomas show certain characteristics on CT or MRI, which are helpful for preoperative diagnosis and surgical therapy.

Objective Investigate the current situation of emergency nurses' perception of hospital safety climate in tertiary hospitals. MethodsA total of 866 emergency nurses from 114 hospitals in 29 provinces,municipalities and autonomous re.gions were randomly selected,and the self-designed general information questionnaire and Chinese version of the hospital safety climate scale were used to investigate. ResultsThe overall hospital safety climatel was(3.97+0.61). Univariate analysis of variance showed that there were statistically significant differences in the hospital safe.ty climate of emergency nurses with educational background and employment form (P<0.05). ConclusionThe e-mergency nurses have a better sense of the overall hospital safety climate,but the obstruction of' the safety work and the cleanliness and neatness of the. working: environment need to be improved. Therefore,il is suggested Lhal the construction of hospital safety climate should be further strengthened in the rational allocation of human re-sources and emergency working environment.
