OBJECTIVE To investigate the restrained factors in the disposal of medical dispute caused by nosocomial infection and try to find out the method to solve the problem. METHODS The several restrained factors in the disposal of medical dispute about nosocomial infection were enumerated and analyzed. RESULTS There are several restrained factors in the disposal of medical dispute about nosocomial infection according to law. First, nosocomial infection can not be died out, and medical dispute about nosocomial infection will exist for ever as a result of the specialty of supply of medical service. Secondly, current legal system construction of nosocomial infection management in our country is in the stage of being established and consummated step by step. Determinant criteria of medical negligence behavior are not perfect. Feasibility of part of the actual rules and standard in nosocomial infection is not good. Thirdly, collecting evidence is very difficult in some medical dispute caused by nosocomial infection . It is restricted by hospital condition, medical cost and medical documents. Because of the restrained factors mentioned above, when nosocomial infection occurs, medical workers concerned can not find or confirm the reason of infection in most cases. Then hospital has to compensate patients for loss in order to make concessions to avoid trouble. CONCLUSIONS We make following suggestions for the status. First, we should strengthen legal system construction about nosocomial infection, and safeguard both of hospital and patients′ interests . Secondly, insurance system of medical risk should be perfected. Thirdly, medical workers should abide by rules of operation. Fourthly, we can not hide the truth when nosocomial infection occurs. Fifthly, we must fulfil the "attention duty" in order to reduce medical dispute.

PURPOSE:
. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance and reliability of plasma sprayed nanostructured zirconia (NSZ) coating.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
. This study consisted of three areas of analysis: (1) Mechanical property: surface roughness of NSZ coating and bond strength between NSZ coating and titanium specimens were measured, and the microstructure of bonding interface was also observed by scanning election microscope (SEM). (2) Biocompatibility: hemolysis tests, cell proliferation tests, and rat subcutaneous implant test were conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of NSZ coating. (3) Mechanical compatibility: fracture and artificial aging tests were performed to measure the mechanical compatibility of NSZcoated titanium abutments.
RESULTS:
. In the mechanical study, 400 μm thick NSZ coatings had the highest bond strength (71.22 ± 1.02 MPa), and a compact transition layer could be observed. In addition, NSZ coating showed excellent biocompatibility in both hemolysis tests and cell proliferation tests. In subcutaneous implant test, NSZcoated plates showed similar inflammation elimination and fibrous tissue formation processes with that of titanium specimens. Regarding fatigue tests, all NSZ-coated abutments survived in the five-year fatigue test and showed sufficient fracture strength (407.65-663.7 N) for incisor teeth.
CONCLUSION
. In this study, the plasmasprayed NSZ-coated titanium abutments presented sufficient fracture strength and biocompatibility, and it was demonstrated that plasma spray was a reliable method to prepare high-quality zirconia coating.

Objectives To evaluate the effects of "disease-characteristics nursing quality improvement" program(DNQIP)combined with targeted monitoring in reducing the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)among patients with mechanical ventilation and to provide evidence for the prevention of VAP. Methods This was a prospective intervention study. All mechanical ventilation patients admitted in stroke intensive care unit(SICU)of our hospital from 2007 to 2015 were selected as the research object. Targeted monitoring was implemented in patients admitted from 2007 to 2011,and DNQIP was formed based on the monitoring results. DNQIP combined with targeted monitoring was implemented from 2012 to 2013 as the first phase,and the second phase was from 2014 to 2015.Results From 2007 to 2015,the number of new patients per year and the total time of using breathing machine in SICU presented a tendency of increasing while the number of patients with VAP and the incidence of VAP presented a tendency of decreasing year by year. The implementation of DNQIP in the first phase from 2012 to 2013(incidence of VAP was 5.4 ‰),compared with the data before implementation from 2007 to 2011(incidence of VAP was 13.8‰),the incidence of VAP was significantly reduced(χ2=9.029,P=0.003). The incidence of VAP(5.3‰)in the second phase from 2014 to 2015,was significantly reduced compared with the incidence of VAP(13.8‰)from 2007 to 2011(χ2=9.559, P=0.002).Conclusions The implementation of targeted monitoring is helpful in finding problems existing in the prevention of VAP. DNQIP in patients with mechanical ventilation can effectively reduce the incidence of VAP and can refine professional assessment and health education. It is also good for the standardization and evidence-based care in the whole process provided for patients. DNQIP combined with targeted monitoring can realize the continuous quality improvement on the basis of evidence-based theory.
