Objective To investigate the prevalence rates of healthcare-associated infection (HAI)and antimicrobial use in a hospital in 2011-2013,and provide scientific basis for prevention and control of HAI.Methods HAI prevalence rates and antimicrobial use in a hospital in 2011-2013 were investigated by combination of bedside visiting and medical records reviewing.Results A total of 3 011 patients were investigated during three years,the prevalence rates were 3.49%, 2.87% and 3.98% respectively,difference of prevalence rates during three years were not significantly different (χ2 =2.105,P =0.356).Among HAI sites,lower respiratory tract ranked first,the major pathogens were gram-negative bacil-li,constituent ratios of different pathogens were not significantly different among three years(χ2 =1.003,P =0.972);anti-microbial usage rates and specimen detection rates among 3 years were both significantly different(χ2 =12.569,P <0.01;χ2=6.758,P <0.01,respectively),antimicrobial usage rate was highest in 2011(63.40%),and specimen detection rate was highest in 2012(62.14%).Conclusion Point prevalence rate in this hospital is at average national level,antimicrobial usage rate decreased, the consciousness of pathogenic detection gradually enhanced,clinical application management of antimicrobial agents still needs to be strengthened continuously.

Objective To explore the morbidity of laryngopharyngeal reflux in patients with dysphonic diseases and to investigate the influence of LPR on the patients.Methods One hundred and twenty-seven patients with dysphonic diseases were encountered in Peking University of the People Hospital.Under the agreement, the patients were asked to fill in the scales of RSI, RFS, VHI and SF-36.24-hour ambulatory double pH monitoring was applied to diagnose LPR definitely.2 643 volunteers were recruited to fill in the RSI scale through physical examination, outpatient , the ward and web survey.Results 46.46％ (59/127) patients were diagnosed with LPR definitely.1 241 of 2 643 volunteer, who filled in the RSI, score more than zero in the first entry of hoarseness or dysphonia, 65.0％ (807/1 241) of them, scoring 13 points or higher, were diagnosed with clinically suspected LPR.Based on the 24-hour ambulatory double pH monitoring, VHI total scores and subscores in the emotional domains were higher in positive group than in negative group.There was no statistical difference (P ＞ 0.05) in functional and physical domains.The SF-36 scale was used to evaluate the quality of life of the patients.The difference of 6 dimensionality, scoreshad statistical significance(P ＜ 0.05) , including role-physical, general health, validity, social function, role-emotional and mental health.There was no statistical difference in dimensionalities of rolephysical and bodily pain.Conclusions The volunteers who were diagnosed with hoarseness or dysphonia had the higher morbidity rate of LPR.At the time of treatment, more attention should be paid to the quality of life.

Objective To conduct the biomechanical evaluation of the effect of the new operative method,one stageanterior debridement and fusion combined withtitanium cage and dual screw-rod anterior instrumentation inter-fixation on the reconstruction of lumbosacral spine stability and provide biomechanical support for its further promotion in clinical practice.Methods Fifteen lumbosacral spine specimens were obtained from the department of anatomy,Xi'an Jiaotong University Health Science Center.Fracture,deformity and osteoporosis were removed by CT and bone density examination.The remaining specimens were randomly divided into intact group,anterior fixation group and posterior fixation group.L5 vertebral body and adjacent intervertebraldisc subtotal resection were performed on all specimens in the anterior fixation group and the posterior fixation group.The specimens in the anterior fixation group were fixed through titanium cage and dual screw-rod from front approach and the specimens inthe posterior group were fixed by dual screw-rod from posterior approach.Specimens in the intact group were not treated.All specimens were examined by X-ray and thin-slice CT after surgery to determine whether implant placement was appropriate andwhether there was spinal cord compression or not.Three groups of lumbosacral spine specimens were subjected to mechanical testsunder the conditions of flexion and extension,lateral bending,axial torsion and axial compression to evaluate the mechanical effect of anterior dual screw-rod system combined with titanium cage on the fixation of lumbosacral spine.Results All lumbosacralspine specimens were free of fractures,deformities,osteoporosis and other diseases.Postoperative imaging examination showed thatthe implant was in normal position and no adverse phenomena such as pedicle screw insertion into the spinal canal and spinalcord compression were observed.Mechanical test results in vitro showed that the load required for maximum loading displacement (5 mm) or rotation angle (5°) of the specimens in the intact group was less than that of the specimens in anterior and posterior fixation group in flexion,lateral bending and axial compression and torsion direction (Fflexion=1335.989,Pflexion=0.000;Fextenxion=166.688,Pextenxion=0.000;Fleft latebending=258.872,Pleft lateral bending=0.000;Fright lateral bending=335.766,Pright lateral bending=0.000;Faxial compression=481.444,Paxial compression =0.000;Fleft rotation=21.682,Pleft totation=0.000;Fright rolation=34.990,Pright rotation=0.000).When the maximum loading displacement (5 mm) was reached,the load required for the specimens in anterior fixation group was significantly greater than that for specimens in posterior fixation groupin the direction of flexion,left and right lateral bending and axial compression (Pflexion=0.000;Pleft lateral bending=0.006;Pright lateral bending=0.016;Paxial compression=0.000).However,the load required to reach the maximum loading displacement (5 mm) in the anterior fixation group in the direction of extension was significantly lower than that in the posterior fixation group (P=0.000).When the maximum load angle (5°) was reached intorsion direction,the required load of the specimens in both anterior and posterior fixation groups was similar (Pleft rotation=0.820;Pright rotation=0.259).Conclusion The anterior fixation of lumbosacral spine specimens with titanium cage combined with dualscrew rod can provide better immediate stability and its stability in flexion,lateral bending and axial compression is better than that of back double nailing rodfixed.

Objective To analyze the phenotypic characteristics of LAP+CD4+ T lymphocytes and investigate their molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer ( CRC ) microenvironment. Methods Fifty colorectal cancer patients treated in our two hospitals from January 2014 to May 2014 were included in this study. Their tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues, peripheral blood samples, and peripheral blood samples of 25 healthy donors ( HD) were collected to isolate the lymphocytes. The different expressions of CCR7, CD45RA, Foxp3, CTLA?4, CCR4 and CCR5 in LAP+CD4+ T and LAP-CD4+ T lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry ( FCM) . Results The FCM assay detected that the percentage of LAP+CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood of the CRC patients were significantly higher than that of HD [(9.44±3.18)%versus (1.49±1.00)%, P<0.001]. In addition, significantly more LAP+CD4+ T cells were also recruited into tumor tissue than those in the tumor?adjacent normal tissue [(11.76±3.74)% versus (3.87±1.64)%, P<0.001]. LAP+CD4+ T cells in the tumor?adjacent normal tissue and peripheral blood of both HDs and CRC patients mainly displayed a central memory phenotype. However, effector memory lymphocytes were predominant in the tumor tissue.In the tumor tissue, the expression of Foxp3 in the LAP+CD4+ T cells was (3.87±1.12)%, significantly lower than that in the LAP-CD4+ T cells (16.70±2.61)%, (P<0.001); the expression of CTLA?4 in the LAP+CD4+ T cells was (36.36±19.14)%, significantly higher than the (19.60± 8.91)% in the LAP-CD4+ T cells ( P<0. 001); the expression of CCR4 in the LAP+CD4+ T cells was (37.72±11.14)%, significantly higher than the (30.06±9.14)% in the LAP-CD4+ T cells (P<0.001);and the expression of CCR5 in the LAP+CD4+ T cells was (18.86±7.10)%, significantly higher than the (13.92±3.31)% in the LAP-CD4+ T cells (P<0.001). Conclusions LAP+CD4+ T cells with low expression of Foxp3 and high expressions of CTLA?4, CCR4 and CCR5 are tend to be enriched and accumulated in the tumor tissue. The unique phenotypic characteristics make these cells a distinct subset of lymphocytes, apparently different from the traditional CD4+CD25+ Treg cells.

Objective:To investigate the application value of porcine small intestinal sub-mucosa (SIS) acellular matrix mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).Methods:The prospective multicenter randomized controlled single-blind non-inferiority-type study was conducted. The clinical data of 216 patients who underwent LIHR in 4 medical centers, including Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University et al, from April 2021 to August 2022 were selected. Patients were divided into two groups using a central randomization system. Patients in the experimental group were implanted domestic SIS mesh, and patients in the control group were implanted imported mesh of similar material origin. The baseline characteristics of enrolled patients were evaluated using the full analysis set, and the effectiveness indicators were evaluated using the protocol set. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the ttest. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers and/or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. If the lower limit of 95% confidence interval( CI) of the difference in effective rates between the experimental group and the control group was greater than the non-inferiority cut-off value of ?10%, the experimental group was considered non-inferior to the control group. Results:(1) Situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 216 patients were selected for eligibility, with 46 patients dropping out due to violation of the trial protocol, and the remaining 170 patients were included in the full analysis set. Nine patients were dislodged due to loss to follow-up, and 161 patients completed follow-up. One case in the experimental group was excluded due to violating the inclusion and exclusion criteria, while the remaining 160 patients were included in the protocol set (80 cases in the experimental group and 80 cases in the control group). There was no significant difference in the gender, age, body mass index (BMI), surgical method, Gilbert type of hernia, volume of intraoperative blood loss, operation time of patients between the experimental group and the control group ( P>0.05), confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Study endpoints. ① Primary study endpoint. During the postoperative 6 month of follow-up, none of patient in the experimental group or the control group had hernia recurrence, with the recurrence rate as 0. Results of non-inferiority test showed that the difference of hernia recurrence between the two groups was 0 (95% CI as ?4.58% to 4.58%), with the lower limit of ?4.58% greater than the non-inferiority cut-off value of ?10%, which fulfilled the non-inferiority hypothesis. ② Secondary study endpoints. Cases with plasmapheresis during the follow-up were 18 in the experimental group and 29 in the control group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.65, P>0.05). There were 4 cases with postoperative pain and 1 case with postoperative malaise in the experimental group, and there were 8 cases with postoperative pain and 0 case with postoperative malaise in the control group, showing no signifi-cant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). None of patient in the experimental group or the control group had incision infection, enterocutaneous fistula, intestinal obstruction, intestinal canal injury, allergy and rejection, testicular inflammation and/or atrophy, or any other complication. Conclusion:Compared with imported mesh of similar material origin, domestic porcine SIS mesh is safe and effective in LIHR.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are common clinical conditions. The number of patients with TMJ diseases is large, and the etiology, epidemiology, disease spectrum, and treatment of the disease remain controversial and unknown. To understand and master the current situation of the occurrence, development and prevention of TMJ diseases, as well as to identify the patterns in etiology, incidence, drug sensitivity, and prognosis is crucial for alleviating patients′suffering.This will facilitate in-depth medical research, effective disease prevention measures, and the formulation of corresponding health policies. Cohort construction and research has an irreplaceable role in precise disease prevention and significant improvement in diagnosis and treatment levels. Large-scale cohort studies are needed to explore the relationship between potential risk factors and outcomes of TMJ diseases, and to observe disease prognoses through long-term follw-ups. The consensus aims to establish a standard conceptual frame work for a cohort study on patients with TMJ disease while providing ideas for cohort data standards to this condition. TMJ disease cohort data consists of both common data standards applicable to all specific disease cohorts as well as disease-specific data standards. Common data were available for each specific disease cohort. By integrating different cohort research resources, standard problems or study variables can be unified. Long-term follow-up can be performed using consistent definitions and criteria across different projects for better core data collection. It is hoped that this consensus will be facilitate the development cohort studies of TMJ diseases.
