Objective To understand the occurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection(CAUTI)in pa-tients with catheterization,and provide evidence for reducing the incidence of CAUTI.Methods Based on monito-ring requirement for CAUTI in competency building project of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)prevention and control established by Hospital Infection Management Committee of Chinese Hospital Association,CAUTI among patients who hospitalized and received urinary catheterization ≥2 days in a hospital from January to December 2014 were analyzed prospectively,incidences of CAUTI in different patients were compared.Results A total of 6 046 patients with urinary catheterization were monitored,166 of whom developed CAUTI,incidence of CAUTI was 2.75%,the total urinary catheter days were 31 833 days,incidence of CAUTI was 5.21 per 1 000 urinary catheter days.There was no significant difference in the incidence of CAUTI among patients of different genders (χ2 =1 .23, P =0.54);incidence of CAUTI in patients > 60 years old was higher than those ≤60 years (4.72% vs 2.07%,χ2=30.38,P <0.01);incidence of CAUTI in patients with different duration of catheterization was significantly dif-ferent(χ2 = 251 .14,P <0.01 );with the prolongation of duration of catheterization,incidence of CAUTI also in-creased(trendχ2 =211 .82,P <0.001 ).Patients in department of neurology had the longest average catheterization time(14.84 days)and highest incidence of CAUTI(15.00%,10.11 ‰);patients in the other departments of surgery had the shortest average catheterization time(3.56 days)and lowest incidence of CAUTI(0.97%,2.74‰);inci-dences of CAUTI in patients with urinary catheterization in different departments were significantly different(χ2 =302.24,P <0.001).166 CAUTI patients were isolated 66 isolates of pathogenic strains,86.36% were gram-nega-tive bacilli,33.33% of which were Escherichia coli .Conclusion CAUTI is related to the age of patients and dura-tion of indwelling urinary catheter.Daily assessment on the necessity of indwelling catheter and timely removal of catheter is helpful for reducing the occurrence of CAUTI.

Objective To summarize and explore the clinical value of selective partial neurotomy of muscular branch of triceps in the treatment of spastic talipes equines.Methods Forty-two cases were included in our study from Aug.2000 to Des.2007,all these cases accepted the operation of selective partial neurotomy muscular branch of triceps.In this study,29 cases were male,13 cases were female.Muscle force of legs,muscular tension,pathologic reflex,gesture and function of legs after operation were compared with that of before operation.Results The mean fallow-up was 18 months.During the fallow-up of this study,muscular tension degraded,the function of ankle joints and the gesture of extremitas inferior were improved obviously.The effective power was about 90% after 12 months follow-up.Conclusions Selective partial neurotomy of muscular branch of triceps is a effective method for the treatment of spastic talipes equines.The operation procedure is simple and effective,and could be generalized in the primary level hospital.
