OBJECTIVE To investigate the status of nosocomial infection in community health services and offer a scientific basis for nosocomial infection control.METHODS Totally 5738 outpatients were investigated retrospectively for nosocomial infection in community.RESULTS The most frequently nosocomial infection sites were lower respiratory tract,and next upper respiratory tract and urinary tract(2131,1045 and 934,respectively).The major reasons of causing the nosocomial infection were irrational usage of antibacterial drugs(39.0%),invasive procedures(31.0%) and using glucocorticoids(10.0%).Most of the pathogenic bacteria of the nosocomial infection were Gram-negative and the next were Gram-positive and fungi.74.4% of the pathogens were resistant to most of antibioties.CONCLUSIONS Alzeimer′s disease patients in the community health centers are popular and susceptible to infection.

The deep analysis has been done on the cases of adverse events and common injury of cupping therapy encountered in recent years in terms of manipulation and patient's constitution. The adverse events of cupping therapy are commonly caused by improper manipulation of medical practitioners, ignoring contraindication and patient's constitution. Clinical practitioners should use cupping therapy cautiously, follow strictly the rules of standard manipulation and medical core system, pay attention to the contraindication and take strict precautions against the occurrence of adverse events.

Abstract：In recent years，the outbreak and prevalence of respiratory infectious diseases in the world seriously endanger human health，among which the respiratory infectious diseases caused by viral infection account for a large proportion. The use of vaccines and common antiviral drugs is an effective way to fight viral infection，but there are also problems such as lag and drug resistance. Monoclonal antibodies against respiratory viral infections provide a new strategy for clinical treatment. This paper reviews the development of monoclonal antibody against respiratory virus and its application in respiratory viral infectious diseases.

Objective To investigate the rationality and safety of dengzhanxixin injection used in elderly inpatients. Methods The clinical data of 986 inpatients including 620 males and 366 females were collected, and questionnaires containing age, sex, discharge diagnosis, symptoms, drug dosage, course of treatment, laboratory examination, adverse drug reaction and drug effect were analyzed. Results For the 986 cases, the average age was(74.3±7.5)years. The average dose of dengzhanxixin injection was (38.2±4.4) ml, once daily by intravenous drip, and the average period of treatment was (10.8±5.2) days. The adverse reaction rate was 0.81%. The levels of blood glucose and hemoglobin were decreased after treatment(t orμ=1226.5,2620.0, both P<0.05), but there were no statistical differences in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and white blood cell count (WBC) before and after treatment (t or μ=122.5, 405.0, 513.5, 996.5, 956.5, all P>0.05). Conclusions It is safe to use dengzhanxixin injection according to the medication description for elderly inpatients.

OBJECTIVETo compare the early clinical outcomes of primary total knee arthroplasty in the valgus knee between mobile-bearing prosthesis and fixed-bearing prosthesis.

METHODSFrom January 2011 to December 2013, 17 patients (23 knees) treated by the same surgeon were selected for a retrospective study in the First Hospital of Jilin University, including 2 males and 15 females with a mean age of 61.5 years old (48 to 75 years). The pre-operative diagnosis included osteoarthritis (14 patients, 19 knees) and rheumatoid arthritis (3 patients, 4 knees). The patients with valgus deformity were divided into group A and group B. The patients in group A were treated with the fixed-bearing prosthesis (9 patients, 12 knees), and the patients in group B were treated with the mobile-bearing prosthesis (8 patients, 11 knees). The Knee Society Score (KSS), Hosptial for Special Surgery (HSS), Western Ontario MacMaster (WOMAC), the range of motion (ROM) and femorotibial angle were collected at pre-operation and post-operation follow-up for statistical analysis.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 6 to 36 months (mean 25 months). The valgus deformity was corrected in all patients, and there were significant differences for all patients between pre-operation and post-operation at the latest follow-up with regard to the KSS knee score, function score, HSS score, WOMAC score, ROM and femorotibial angle (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in KSS knee score, function score, HSS score, WOMAC score, improvement in ROM and femorotibial angle between two groups at the latest follow-up. However there were significant differences in ROM (P<0.05) between fixed-bearing group (101.8±8.8)° and mobile-bearing group (108.4±7.2)° at the latest follow-up. No case with spin-out of mobile bearing was observed. There were no complications in any patient, such as infection, common peroneal nerve injury, dislocation and instability. The X-ary imaging showed no osteolysis or implant loosening.

CONCLUSIONThe early clinical outcomes of primary total knee arthroplasty by using mobile-bearing prosthesis and fixed-bearing prosthesis are satisfactory for the treatment of the valgus knee, and the short term clinical outcomes of mobile-bearing TKA and fixed-bearing TKA are similar.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical outcome of accessory navicular fusion for treatment of the painful accessory navicular bone of type II in adults.

METHODSFrom June 2006 to June 2012, a total of 38 feet (in 35 adult patients) with painful accessory navicular with type I underwent an fusion operation of the primary and accessory navicular bones,including 26 males and 9 females with a mean age of (32.4±7.3) years old ranging from 18 to 44 years old. The course of disease ranged from 3 to 10 months. The perioperative complications and radiological outcomes were observed and recorded. The foot function before and after operation were assessed by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score, and the easement of the pain was evaluated by visual analog score (VAS).

RESULTSTwo patients had transient superficial inflammation of the incision, no obvious perioperative complications occurred. All patients were follow-up for (53.5±14.7) months (12 to 84 months). Bone union was confirmed on plain radiography in 32 cases (35 feet). The mean time from the operation to union was (13.7±2.3) weeks (9 to 18 weeks). Postoperative pain VAS score was improved obviosly than preoperative (V=12.14,P< 0.01). The talar-to-first metatarsal angle [(9.4±3.5)° vs (8.3±2.7)°, t=0.736, P>0.05)], calcaneal tilt angle [(17.7±2.2)° vs (18.9±3.4)°, t=0.794, P>0.05],talonavicular uncoverage angle [(14.3±3.4)° vs(12.5?4.6)°,t=0.947, P>0.05) ],and height of the first tarsometatarsal joint [(14.8±3.1) mm vs (15.9±2.8) mm,t=0.814,P>0.05)] before and after operations had no statistic difference. The AOFAS midfoot score was improced from preoperative 45.6±5.3 to postoperative 82.5±7.4 (t=3.214,P< 0.01).

CONCLUSIONFor the painful accessory navicular bone of type II in adults, if the patient has a large navicular bone and not complicated with rigid flatfoot, once the conservative treatment fails, fusion of the primary and accessory naviculars may be a successful intervention. Overall, the procedure provides reliable pain relief, definite foot function improvement, and good patient satisfaction.

Methods Between Jan 2011 and June 2006 , 100 consecutive patients with intertrochanteric fracture were treated with a new nail (InterTan). We recorded the operation time, blood loss, blood transfusion volume and the modified Harris hip score was used to evaluate outcomes. Results All cases were received follow-up of 6 to 15 months. All cases got bone healing and did not appear various complications. The modified Harris hip score were (75.1 ± 13.4) points. Conclusion The InterTan device appears to be a reliable implant for treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fractures.

Objective To investigate the availability of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) in the detection of early ventricular diastolic dysfunction by polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM).Methods A total of 46 PM/DM patients without symptoms of heart involvement were prospectively studied by standard echocardiography and the longitudinal mitral annular velocities was measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDI).Plasma NT-proBNP was measured in all patients.Multivariate Logistics regression analysis was applied to investigate the risk factors for early cardiac complications.The availability of NTproBNP was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.Results There were 22 patients complicated with early diastolic dysfunction (E/Em ≥ 8) by TDI.The multi-factors Logistic regression analysis showed that the age of onset (OR=1.117,95％CI 1.005-1.243,P=0.040) and plasma NT-proBNP (OR=1.022,95％CI 1.001-1.042,P=0.036) were risk factors for early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.The level of NT-proBNP was positively correlated with E/Em value(r=0.687,P=0.000).ROC showed NT-proBNP could reliably detectearly ventricular diastolic dysfunction [area under the curve 0.858 (95％ CI 0.735-0.981,P＜0.01)].If PM/DM patients with normal TDI(E/Em＜8) were used as controls,and 120 pg/ml was used as the cut-off concentration,the sensitivity and specificity of NT-proBNP for the early ventricular diastolic dysfunction was 81.8％ and 91.7％ respectively.Conclusion Age at onset and plasma NT-proBNP are risk factors for early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.The level of NT-proBNP is positively correlated with E/Em value.The plasma NT-proBNP concentration higher than 120 pg/ml maybe a marker for early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
