BACKGROUND:The meningeal defect patients can be treated with artificial dural materials combined neurosurgical techniques which can protect the integrity of brain tissue. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biocompatibility and application feasibility of various artificial dura mater materials. METHODS:The artificial dura materials were classified according to the different sources, and the biocompatible and application feasibility of various artificial dura mater materials were analyzed, as wel as the advantages and disadvantages of various materials. The anticoagulant and hemolytic properties of the materials were analyzed through recalcification test and hemolysis test. 100 patients receiving col agen membrane repair selected from Department of Neurosurgery, Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The dural repair materials mainly include autologous material, al ograft materials, dissimilar materials, synthetic materials and natural materials. Each kind of material has its advantages and disadvantages. Meningeal defect complications include cerebrospinal fluid leakage, pseudo meninges, infection and arachnoiditis. There are many problems of artificial dural materials to be solved, and the novel biological dural materials and absorbable materials are the direction of dural material research.

Objective To analyze risk factors and antimicrobial use for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)due to multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in an intensive care unit(ICU),so as to perform risk assessment and guide antimicrobial use.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,HAP patients were conducted retrospective co-hort study,risk factors for MDRO-HAP and rationality of antimicrobial use were analyzed.Results A total of 110 cases of HAP occurred in ICU,63 cases (57.27%)were MDR-HAP.Logistic regression analysis revealed that re-cent hospital stay ≥5 days (OR=19.94),transference from other hospitals (OR =19.33),infection type of late-onset HAP (OR=7.98),and antimicrobial use in recent 90 days (OR =3.42)were independent risk factors for MDR-HAP.Initial empirical anti-infective treatment revealed that there were no significant difference in timing of antimicrobial administration within 24 hours after clinical diagnosis was confirmed,and rationality of antimicrobial selection between MDR-HAP group and non-MDR-HAP group (both P >0.05);The isolation rate of pathogens in MDR-HAP group was lower than non-MDR-HAP group (73.02% vs 91 .49% P <0.05 ).Targeted antimicrobial therapy revealed that there were no significant difference in selection,dosage,and frequency of antimicrobial use be-tween two groups(all P >0.05 );the rationality rate of therapy course in MDR-HAP group was higher than no-MDR-HAP group,but rationality rate of combination use of antimicrobial agents was slightly lower than the latter (both P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Patients in ICU should be conducted risk factor assessment,and according prevention and control measures should be formulated,so as to reduce the occurrence of MDR-HAP,health care workers should standardized the initial empirical anti-infective treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of plan-do-check-act (PDCA)cycle method in improving disinfection efficacy of object surface in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods On the basis of management of healthcare-associat-ed infection (HAI)and prevention of multidrug-resistant organisms,disinfection efficacy of object surface in an ICU was intervened,data about surface object specimens taken before,during,and after intervention,HAI in patients, as well as detection of MDROs were collected.Results The total qualified rate of specimens taken before,during, and after intervention was 58.24%,76.74%,and 88.71 %,respectively,there was an increased tendency,the difference was significant (χ2 =17.41 ,P =0.009);the incidence of HAI was 3.72%,2.42%,and 1 .78%,respec-tively,there was a decreased tendency(χ2 =6.03,P =0.039),case infection rate was 4.36%,2.75%,and 2.37%respectively,there was a decreased tendency (χ2 = 7.24,P = 0.046 );detection rate of MDROs was 34.03%, 27.45%,and 14.05%,respectively,there was a decreased tendency (χ2 =33.84,P =0.007),the percentage of pa-tients who were detected MDROs and HAI caused by MDROs showed a decreased tendency(χ2 =6.14,6.02,both P<0.05).Conclusion The implementation of PDCA cycle can effectively improve disinfectant efficacy of ICU object surface,and reduce the incidence of MDRO HAI.

Objectives To investigate the incidence of brain injuri in premature infants in ten hospitals of seven large cities in China sponsored by the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology of Pediatric Society, China Medical Association. Methods All premature infants with gestational age less than 37 weeks in ten hospitals were given routine cranial ultrasound within three days of birth, and then repeated every 3-7 days till the discharge from the hospital during January 2005 to August 2006. Results Incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and severe IVH were 10.8% (406/3 768) and 2.4% (92/3 768) with 22.6% (92/406) for grade 1, 54.7% (222/406) for grade 2, 17.2% (70/406) for grade 3 and 5.4% (22/406) for grade 4 in nine hospitals; incidence of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cystic PVL were 2.3% (112/4 933) and 0.3% (16/4 933) with 85.7% (96/112) for grade 1, 12.5% (14/112) for grade 2, and 1.8% (2/112) for grade 3 including all ten hospitals, respectively. Risk factors associated with increased severity of IVH were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.874, 95% CI = 1.172 - 2.997, P < 0.01), perinatal asphyxia (OR = 1.598, 95% CI = 1.077 - 2.372, P < 0.05), mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.988, 95% CI= 2.448 -6.948, P< 0.01), and amniotic fluid contamination (OR = 2.192, 95% CI = 1.054 - 4.544, P< 0.05). Risk factors that might result in the development of cystic PVL were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.400, 95% CI = 1.186 - 1.652, P < 0.001) and mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.000, 95% CI = 1.015 - 8.864, P < 0.05). Conclusions These data reflect basically the prevalence of brain injuriy in premature infants in major cities of China. However, more than 60% of population lives in the rural area, further multicenter investigation including the rural area is expected to be undertaken in future.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of the adult rhabdomyoma (A-RM) in the oral and maxillofacial region.Methods Three cases of A-RM in the oral and maxillofacial region were analyzed for the clinical symptoms,imaging data,pathological features,differential diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis with the literatures review.Results The age arranged from 4 yea~ to 83 years in three A-RM cases.Two cases were male and one case was female.Two cases occurred in the mouth floor and one case in the tongue.Three A-RM cases presented as slowly growing,painless masses clinically.The masses were lobular,red-brown nodules with clear boundary.Histologically,they consisted of densely packed,large,round and polygonal cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.Cross striations and vacuoles were seen in the cytoplasm.Tumor cells expressed desmin and myoglobin,partially expressed SMA,MyoD1 and S-100 protein.PAS was also positive among tumor cells and could be digested by the diastasum diastace.Conclusion Histological examination is the main diagnostic basis for A-RM.For accurate diagnosis,cross striations and immunohistochemistry for myogenic proteins in cytoplasm are of pivotal importance.Radical resection is the main treatment with generally promising prognosis.
