Objective To investigate and analyze nasal carriage of bacteria in medical staff and antibiotic susceptibility. Methods All study participants underwent swabbing of the anterior 1.5 cm of the nasal vestibule of both nares with a sterile swab,and did drug sensitivity test Apr.-Oct.,2007. Results In 41.08% of all samples (125/299),136 pathogenetic bacteria were isolated. Klebsiella pneumoniae,Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter aerogenes were the prominent bacteria,of which showed the resistance for more than three kinds of antibiotics were 35,accounting for 25.73% of all isolates,10 strains of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) were detected. Conclusion The nasal carriage of bacteria and antibiotics resistance in medical staff in Tianjin should be paid attention to,for it may an important factor in the control of infection in hospitals.

Hospital infection has become a global public health problem. The strain of anti-disinfectant, same as the antibiotic-resistant strain, will lead to the failure of the disinfection of the hospital, which will cause hospital infection. The bacterial resistance to disinfectants and resistance mechanism is not clear. Most of the studies focused on the cell research, the molecular research, non-physiological mechanism of resistance, in recent years, the selection pressure, outflow pump were studied. Currently, disinfectants abuse, improper handling and inadequate amount of disinfectant were considered as the main cause of the resistance development.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze hand carrier state of medical staff in Tianjin and the antibiotic resistance of the pathogens.METHODS Bacteria or pathogens were isolated from the samples using a sterilized cotton swab on the whole hand before hand washing or hand disinfection,and drug sensitivity test was performed.RESULTS In 16.72% of all samples(50/299),there were 64 kinds of bacteria or pathogens isolated.A.baumannii,Staphylococcus aureus and A.lwoffii were the most common bacteria,40.6% resistant to more then 3 kinds of drugs.Four Meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) strains were detected out.CONCLUSIONS The high rate of hand carrying bacteria and resistance in Tianjin should pay attention to.

Objective To survey the retraction of dental unit waterlines (DUWLs)in medical institutions,and evaluate the influencing factors for retraction of DUWLs.Methods In May-November 2014,dental chair units (DCUs)in medical institutions in Tianjin City were sampled through systematic random sampling method,retrac-tion volume of DUWLs was detected by independently made detector,the relevant influencing factors were investi-gated.Results A total of 58 DCUs in 30 medical institutions in 10 districts(counties)of Tianjin were investigated, the average retraction volume of DUWLs was (103.60 ±117.85 )mm3 ,the qualified rate of retraction volume of DUWLs was 48.28 %(28/58);length of utilization of DCUs was positively correlated with DUWLs retraction (r=0.52,P <0.001).There were no significant difference in retraction volume of DUWLs among medical institutions in different districts(counties),levels of medical institutions,DUC brands,and modes of DUC water supply(all P >0.05 ).Conclusion The qualified rate of retraction volume of DUWLs is low,routine maintenance of DUCs needs to be intensified,especially the long-term used DUCs,contaminatin of DUWLs due to the invalidity of retraction valve should be prevented.

Objective: To understand the natural carriage status of multidrug resistant gram-negative bacteria in ICU medical personmel and control growp of 69 hospitals in Tianjin. Methods: From April 2007 to October 2016, 2902 samples of nasal vestibule and hand swabs were collected from 1296 ICU medical personmel and 155 non medical personmel (control group) , and 14 kinds of antimicrobial agents were used to test the sensitivity of gram-negative bacilli. Results: 332 Gram-negative bacteria were isolated from medical personmel, of which 139 were multidrug resistant; 70 gram-negative bacteria were isolated from control group, and 20 of which were multidrug resistant. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the incidence of nasal vestibular colonization between medical personmel group (231/1296) and control group (32/155) . The control group (38/155) had a higher rate of hand bacteria carriage than medical staff group (101/1296) (P<0.01) . The proportion of multidrug resistant gram-negative bacteria was 28.57% (20/70) in control group, which was significantly lower than medical personmel group (41.87%, 139/332) (P<0.05) . Conclusion For the nasal vestibule, the medical personnel and control guoup have the same gram-negative bacteria carrying rate, but the multidrug resistant bacteria isolation rate from the medical staff group are significantly higher which may due to vocational contamination of pathogen in ICU; while the gram-negative bacteria in the hands of the medical staff group are significantly lower than those of the control group, which might attribute to the difference of hand sanitation technique of two groups.

Objective:To understand the occupational stress and mental health status of hospital infection prevention and control practitioner (HIPCPs) in medical institutions, and analyze their main influencing factors.Methods:In November 2021, 550 nosocomial infection managers in Tianjin were randomly selected to conduct a questionnaire survey using the Concise Occupational Stress Questionnaire, Depression Screening Scale (PHQ-9) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). 497 valid questionnaires were obtained, and the total recovery efficiency was 90.36%. Single factor analysis and multivariate logistic regression method were used to analyze the main influencing factors of occupational stress and mental health status of psychiatric managers.Results:The detection rate of anxiety and depression among 497 HIPCPs was 22.73% (113/497) and 58.95% (293/497), respectively. Gender and major were the influencing factors of depression ( P=0.000, 0.001). Average working hours>52 hours per week and night shift days>1 days per week were the influencing factors of anxiety ( P=0.035, 0.014). Average working hours>52 h per week, night shift days >1 d per week and different majors were the influencing factors of occupational stress ( P=0.000, 0.025, 0.010). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that the risk of anxiety in those who worked more than 52 hours per week was 1.753 times that of those who worked less than 52 hours per week ( P=0.038), and the risk of depression in women was 3.071 times that of men ( P=0.006) . Conclusion:Working hours are an important influencing factor for occupational stress and anxiety among HIPCPs. In order to reduce the occurrence of occupational stress and mental health problems, it is necessary to strengthen psychological counseling for HIPCPs and balance work and rest.

Objective To investigate and analysis the epidemiological characteristics of a cluster epidemic of COIVD-19 in a collective workplace in Tianjin, evduate the prevention and control measures based on limited evidence and experience in early period of COVID-19 epidemic. Methods Descriptive research method was used to describe the distribution and other epidemiological characteristics of the cluster cases of COVID-19. Results Since the onset of the first index case on January 15, ten confirmed COVID-19 cases had occurred in the workplace, and the epidemic had spread from the workplace to 4 families, infecting 7 family members. The median age of 17 cases was 55 (19-79) years. All the 10 employee cases were males, and in 7 family cases, 3 were males and 4 were females. Of the employee cases, 8 worked in CW workshop and 2 worked in administrative office building. The median exposure-onset interval of all the cases was 4 (0-12) days, and the median exposure-onset interval was 4.5 days in the employee cases and 4 days in the family cases. The median onset-medical care seeking interval was 4 days in the non-isolated cases, 2.5 days in the cases with home isolation after onset, and 0.5 day in the cases with home isolation before onset. Conclusion The clustering of COVID-19 cases was observed in this workplace in Tianjin, which affected 4 families. In the early stage of the epidemic, accurate and rapid blocking and control measures can completely prevent the large-scale spread of COVID-19.
