OBJECTIVE To explore the suitable hospital infection control measures in health centers of poverty-striken villages,in order to improve the management of hospital infection,decrease hospital infection rate and protect the health of medical staff and patients.METHODS The status quo of hospital infection in health centers of poverty-striken villages,was investigated in 20 small towns health centers with were randomly divided into two groups:test group(n=15)and control group(n=5).The suitable hospital infection control measures were explored from 5 points.The effect of infection control by before-after controlled study of experimental group and randomized controlled study of control group was anal yzed.RESULTS The rate of hospital infection in test group was decreased from 7.60% to 1.98% and at in control group didn't change,the difference was significant.CONCLUSIONS The managements of establishment of the suitable hospital infection control measures in health centers of poverty-striken villages have been put into practice and gained good result.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of the HAA regimen (homoharringtonine,cytarabine and aclarubicin)as salvage chemotherapy in the treatment of refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed 64 patients with refractory/relapsed AML who received the HAA regimen as salvage chemotherapy. The complete remission (CR)rate was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS), and the differences were compared by Log-rank test.
RESULTSThe overall CR rate was 70.1%, and 67.1% of the patients attained CR after the first induction course. The early death rate was 0. The median follow-up time was 61 (range:6-120) months. The estimated 3-year OS rate was 46.8% and the estimated 3-year RFS rate was 42.8%. The CR rates of patients with favorable/intermediate and unfavorable cytogenetics were 76.4% and 33.3%, respectively. The 3-year OS of favorable/intermediate and unfavorable group were 53.7% and 10.0%, respectively. The median survival time of unfavorable group was only 8 months. The side effects associated with the HAA regimen were tolerable, in which the most common toxicities were myelosuppression and infection.
CONCLUSIONHAA regimen is associated with a higher rate of CR and longer-term survival and its toxicity can be tolerated. The regimen is suitable for refractory/relapsed AML patients with favorable or intermediate risk .

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes and feasibility of multi-modality adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation, which was conducted as postoperative chemotherapy, radiation, and consolidation chemotherapy (CRC) mode for the treatment of advanced endometrial cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 124 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ endometrial cancer from Jan. 2004 to Oct. 2012 was conducted in Peking University People′s Hospital and Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. Inclusion criteria were comprehensive staging procedure including hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and (or) selective pelvic aortic lymphadenectomy, and treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy and (or) radiation. The average age of these patients was (55.9 ± 8.4) years old (range from 23 to 79 years old). According to different postoperative adjuvant treatment modes, the patients were divided into CRC group, chemotherapy-radiotherapy (CR) group and single chemotherapy (C) group. The survival and side effects of the three groups were compared. Results (1) One hundred and twenty-four patients with advanced stage endometrial cancer were identified and received postoperative adjuvant therapies.Sixty-one (49.2%, 61/124) cases of them received postoperative CRC fashion, 19 (15.3%, 19/124) received postoperative CR and 44 (35.5%, 44/124) cases received C. The age, stage, grade and type of surgery of the three groups were not significantly different (all P>0.05);while, the pathology, chemotherapy cycles and chemotherapy regimens differed significantly (all P<0.05). (2) The progression-free survivals (PFS) of the patients with CRC, CR, and C group were (121±7), (68± 15), and (100±11) months, respectively. The 3-year PFS rates were 87.9%, 43.7%, and 61.4%, respectively. The 5-year PFS rates were 82.2%, 36.4%, and 61.4%, respectively. The above indicators were significantly higher in the CRC group than in the CR group (all P<0.01), and there was no difference between the CRC group and the C group (P=0.037). The overall survival (OS) of patients with CRC, CR, and C group were (128 ± 6), (80 ± 12), and (99 ± 10) months, respectively. The 3-year OS rates were 87.8%, 72.4%, and 67.1%, the 5-year OS rate were 84.2%, 54.3%, and 64.1%, respectively. The above indicators were significantly higher in the CRC group than those in the CR group and C group (all P<0.01). (3) There was no difference in the frequency of adverse effects either chemotherapy, such as severe bone suppression or radiotherapy;hepatotoxicity,blood transfusion, dose modifications;or cycle delays between the CRC, CR and C group (all P>0.05). (4) In the univariate analysis shown that, stage, the fashion of postoperative adjuvant therapy and type of surgery were risk factors for tumor progression in patients with advanced endometrial cancer (P<0.05). After adjusted for FIGO stage and type of surgery, the tumor progression hazard ratio (HR) was 3.931 (95%CI:1.734-8.914, P=0.001) for the CR group and 2.188 (95%CI:1.010-4.741, P=0.047) for the C group, compared to the CRC group. Conclusion Sequential CRC delivered in a"sandwich"fashion for the treatment in advanced endometrial cancer could significantly improve the 3-year and 5-year OS rates and have a similar adverse effect profile compared with other sequencing modalities.
