Objective To investigate the interventional effect of multidimensional strategy to reduce the incidence of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia.Methods The patients who were admitted to the NICU department and received mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 48 hours from October 2012 to September 2014 were recruited. The control group received the experienced interventions from October 2012 to September 2013, neonates from October 2013 to September 2014 were recruited as the intervention group receiving multidimensional controlling strategy, including bundle care, education, pro-cess and outcome surveillance and feedback on the practices. The compliance of before-after implementation of interventions were quantitatively evaluated,and the rate of VAP was compared between the two groups.Results The compliance rate of hand hygiene and the qualiifed rate of sputum suction, oral care, drain condensation from ventilator circuit, semi-recumbent posi-tion, and preventing of stress-ulcers were increased 17.0%, 11.4%, 14.7%, 18.2%, 37.5% and 56.3% respectively after implemen-tation of multidimensional strategy, and had statistical difference (χ2=36.47-294.36,P<0.01). But the qualiifed rate of antibiotic use only was 66.1% in the post-VAP bundle phases, and showed no statistical difference before and after(P>0.05). The VAP rate was 41.7 cases per 1000 MV-days during control group and 19.7 cases per 1000 MV-days during intervention group, had statis-tical signiifcance (P<0.05). But the rate of ventilator application showed no statistical difference between two group (P>0.05). ConclusionThe multidimensional strategy can effectively prevent the incidence of VAP.

Objective To investigate the causes of spinal tuberculosis retreatment and its surgical treatment strategy.Methods Between May 2010 and May 2014,96 patients with spinal tuberculosis who had been operated before were retreated.The dates of them were reviewed.There were 51 males and 45 females with mean age of 39.7 years.Deciding upon the revision surgical procedure should be determined by last operation approach,the direction of compression of spinal cord,the position of sinus and extent of foci.The retreated patients were compared with 481 unretreated patients in the following index including sex,age,duration of disease,focus range,nutrition,drug resistant tuberculosis,debridement,stability of instrumentation,postoperative regular chemotherapy,associated tuberculosis.Results The surgery duration time was 160-280 min,average 210 min,and the blood loss was 400-1500 ml,average 600 ml.The VAS score before the operation was 6-9 (average 7.5) and 1-3 (average 1.5) at the last follow-up,the difference was statistically significant.Neurological deficits in 21 patients clinically improved at least one grade according to the ASIA grading system at last follow-up.Kyphosis and scoliosis degrees were corrected significantly postoperatively and the correction was 9.5°±3.6° at the final follow-up.The average angle loss was 3.5°±1.1°.There was significant difference between the kyphosis angles preoperatively,postoperatively and final follow-up.Kirkaldy-Willis function score showed that the total fine rate was 88％.There were 35 patients whose tuberculosis bacterial culture and drug sensitive experiments suggested drug resistance.Wound healing delayed in 7 patients.24 cases had sinus formation,13 cases in which were healed after wound dressing,and 11 cases undertook operation again.Conclusion The causes of spinal tuberculosis retreatment include uncompleted debridement,drug resistant strains of tuberculosis,irregular postoperative anti-tubercular treatment,poor preoperative nutritional status and failure of spinal stability reconstruction.The key of successful revision surgery includes radical debridement,strut grafting with autologous iliac bone block,proper reconstruction of spinal stability,individualized chemotherapy according to the drug-resistance,and the appropriate use of irrigation and drainage postoperatively.

Objective:To study the predictive value of the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) on the overall survival rate of patients after Whipple surgery for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:The clinical data of patients with PDAC who underwent Whipple surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and the SII value was calculated. The best cut-off value of SII was 900, and all patients were divided into the low SII group (SII≤900) and the high SII group (SII>900) using 900 as the dividing point. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and the log-rank test was used. The overall survival of the two groups of patients were analyzed. The Cox risk regression model was used to perform univariate analysis of the various clinicopathological parameters, and multivariate analysis for the statistically significant indicators.Results:Of 135 patients enrolled into this study, there were 78 males and 57 females, aged 28.0-76.0 (56.6±8.8) years. There were 92 patients in the low SII group, aged (56.9±9.2) years with 53 males and 39 females; and 43 patients in the high SII group, aged (56.1±7.9) years, with 25 males and 18 females. The median survival of the low SII group and the high SII group were 32.7 months (95% CI: 28.4-37.0) and 24.4 months (95% CI: 21.4-27.4), respectively. The survival of patients with PDAC in the low SII group was significantly higher than that in the high SII group ( P<0.05). On univariate survival analysis, postoperative overall survival of patients with PDAC was significantly associated with high SII ( HR=2.047, 95% CI: 1.354-3.096), R 1 margin ( HR=2.595, 95% CI: 1.663-4.048), a positive rate of lymph node>20% ( HR=3.244, 95% CI: 1.888-5.573), and positive regional lymph node (N1) ( HR=3.061, 95% CI: 1.993-4.702), all P<0.05. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that high SII ( HR=1.672, 95% CI: 1.094-2.555), R 1 resection margin ( HR=2.167, 95% CI: 1.274-3.685), and a positive rate of lymph node>20% ( HR=2.631, 95% CI: 1.309-5.285) to be independent risk factors affecting overall survival ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SII was an independent prognostic factor available before surgery for patients with PDAC. It has some guiding significance in predicting overall survival in patients after Whipple surgery for PDAC.

Objective To evaluate and compare the radiation dose and image quality of the new generation of whole body mobile CT (BodyTom CT) with commonly used fixed CT.Methods The image quality was evaluated with CATPHAN 500 performance test body model.The radiation dose was measured by conventional 100 mm pen ionization chamber and PMMA body phantom and head phantom (head diameter 160 mm,phantom diameter 320 rm and width 140 mm).Results The spatial and contrast resolution of BodyTom CT images were similar to two kinds of fixed CT(P ＞ 0.05).The CNR of image with BodyTom CT decreased by about 20％:In head scan mode,significantly lower than that with Philps 64 slice CT and Toshiba 320 slice CT (with soft,t =-4.82,-6.98,P ＜ 0.05;with standard,t =-20.60,-20.09,P ＜0.05);in body scan mode,significantly lower than that with Philps 64 slice CT and Toshiba 320 slice CT (with soft,t =-5.67,-12.82,P ＜ 0.05;with standard,t =-3.39,-9.18,P ＜ 0.05;with sharp,t =-3.88,-3.21,P ＜0.05).The radiation dose with BodyTom CT was significantly higher than that with fixed CT:in body model,22.97％ than that with Philps 64(t=9.48,P＜0.05),29.6％ than that with Toshiba 320 slice CT(t =11.66,P ＜0.05);in head model,29.76％ than that with Philps 64 slice CT(t=23.44,P＜0.05),33.22％ than that with Toshiba 320 slice CT(t=23.11,P＜0.05).Conclusions The radiation dose with mobile CT was over 20％ higher than that with routine multi-row CT while with the similar image quality.
