Objective To analyze the risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) in the intensive care unit(ICU) of a hospital,and provide theoretical reference for preventing and controlling VAP.Methods ICU patients receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours between October 2013 and December 2014 were monitored by targeted monitoring method,risk factors for the occurrence of VAP were analyzed.Results A total of 483 patients received mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours,76 (15.73%) of whom developed VAP;the overall ventilator days were 5 347 days,incidence of VAP was 14.21 per 1 000 ventilator days.Univariate analysis showed that groups of gender,age,length of hospital stay,and duration of artificial airway were all significantly different,VAP rate in male patients was higher than that in female patients(x2 =9.838,P<0.01);VAP rate was highest in patients aged 41-70 years(x2 =10.242,P<0.01),followed by patients aged≥71 years;VAP rate were relatively higher in patients with longer length of hospital stay and longer duration of artificial airway(x2 =59.533,P<0.01;x2 =74.215,P<0.01,respectively).Conclusion Incidence of VAP in the ICU of this hospital is higher,especially in male patients,patients aged 41-70 years,as well as patients with long length of hospital stay and long duration of artificial airway.

Objective To intervene hand hygiene(HH)of health care workers (HCWs)in an intensive care unit(ICU)of a hospital,and evaluate HH compliance of HCWs and influencing factors.Methods 37 HCWs from an ICU of a teaching hospital were chosen as studied subjects,HH status before and after intervention was observed and analyzed by direct and indirect methods.Results In the first monitoring stage,HH rate in baseline and post-intervention survey stage was signifi-cantly different (46.96% vs 63.30%,χ2 =7.344,P =0.007);in the second monitoring stage,HH compliance rate in-creased from 57.85% to 88.58%.HH compliance rate was positively correlated with consumption of HH product per bed-day(r=0.725,P <0.001),but negatively correlated with incidence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)and case rate of HAI(r=-0.983,-0.990,respectively,both P <0.001),HH rate to alcohol-based hand sanitizers was positively correlated with consumption of HH product per bed-day (r=0.391,P <0.001 ).Conclusion Long-term monitoring and intervention of HH compliance is necessary,combination of direct observation and indirect assessment of HH product con-sumption is helpful for effective monitoring and intervention of HH compliance among HCWs.

Objective To investigate the methods of steroid supplement following adrenalectomy in the patients with Cushing syndrome.Methods The methods and outcome of steroid supplement following adrenalectomy in 75 cases of Cushing syndrome were retrospectively reviewed.Results Supraphysiological doses of glucocorticoid was given during the perioperative period,and the dosage was reduced gradually.Prednisone with a dosage of 5 to 7.5 mg was given once a day on discharge.In the patients with adrenocortical adenoma,4 to 15 month of steroid supplement was required.The patients undergoing bilateral adrenalectomy required lifelong steroid supplementation.Steroid withdrawal syndrome occurred during steroid tapering in 8 patients with adrenocortical adenoma,2 of them had normal plasma cortisol level.Conclusion In the patients with Cushing syndrome,even those with normal plasma cortisol level might have steroid withdrawal syndrome episodes during steroid tapering.

Objective To evaluate transurethral fulguration with intravesical instillation of heparin and alkalinized lidocaine for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS).Methods Data from the chnical records of 31 patients (30 female and 1 male) with IC/BPS were analyzed retrospectively.Transurethral fulguration and biopsy were performed.Intravesical instillation of heparin and alkalinized lidocaine (25 000 units of hepmin,10 mL of 2% lidocaine,and 5 mL of 5% sodium bicarbonate) was administered weekly for 8 weeks.Thereafter,intmvesical instillation treatment was administered twice a month.The interstitial cystitis symptom index and problem index (O'Leary-Sant index),visual analog scale score for pain,quality-of-life index,voiding frequency,bladder capacity,and side effects of intravesical instillation were recorded preoperatively and at the first and sixth month follow-ups postoperatively.Results The follow-up period was 6 to 24 months.The interstitial cystitis symptom index and problem index,visual analog scale score for pain,quality-of-life index,daily voiding time,and maximal bladder volume improved significantly in 28 cases (90.32%;P < 0.01),and no significant adverse effects were observed.Two patients underwent cystectomy,and the symptoms disappeared after the operation.Carcinoma in situ was detected on histopathological examination in one patient.Conclusion Transurethral fulguration with intravesical instillation of heparin and alkalinized lidocaine is a safe and effective therapy for IC/BPS.

Objective To examine the galectin-3 expression in bladder cancer and explore the relationship between the galectin-3 expres-sion and the clinicalpathological characteristics of bladder cancer.Methods Immunohistochemical streptavidin-peroxidase(S-P)method was employed to examine the expression of galectin-3 in 45 bladder cancer tissues and 6 normal bladder tissues.The relationship between galectin-3 expression and the clinicopathological parameters was analyzed in bladder cancers.Results The positive rate of galectin-3 ex-pression in bladder cancer was 62.2%,significantly higher than that in 6 normal bladder tissues(P 〈 0.05).The positive rates of galectin-3 expression in primary cases and recurrent cases were 60% and 70% respectively without significant difference(P 〉 0.05).The up-regulated expression of galectin-3 was positively correlated with the pathological degree and clinical stage of bladder cancer(P 〈 0.05).Conclusion Galectin-3 expression is up-regulated in bladder cancer and its increased expression is useful for diagnosis of bladder cancer.Additionally,it could be used as an important index to evaluate the pathological degree and clinical stage of bladder cancer.

Objective To improve hand hygiene (HH)compliance of health care workers (HCWs)in neonatal in-tensive care units(NICUs)in China through a series of intervention measures.Methods A multicenter study was conducted,17 tertiary first class hospitals in 9 provinces and cities were selected,HH compliance of HCWs in these hospitals were investigated every month according to HH investigation method of World Health Organization.From October 1 ,2013 to March 31 ,2014 was pre-intervention stage;from April 1 ,2014 to September 30,2014 was post-intervention stage,timely feedback and intensified training were conducted at post-intervention stage.Results HH compliance rates of HCWs before and after intervention were 80.29% and 80.85% respectively,there was no sig-nificant difference (P >0.05).HH compliance rates of HCWs in different sizes of ICUs were significantly different before and after intervention (all P <0.05),in NICUs with<20 beds and 20-30 beds after the intervention were both significantly higher than before intervention (both P <0.05 ),while >30 beds were significantly lower than before intervention(P <0.001 );HH compliance rate of cleaners increased from 58.82% before intervention to 68.09% after intervention (P <0.05 );Of different hand hygiene indications,except before clean/aseptic task, compliance to the other HH indications were significantly different between before and after intervention(all P <0.05).Conclusion HH compliance is high among HCWs in NICUs in China,intervention measures,such as inten-sified training and timely feedback have certain influence in compliance to HH among HCWs at different sizes of ICUs,of different occupations,and at different HH indications.
