Objective To investigate and analyze the prevalence of pressure ulcer and other skin injuries, and the implementation of pressure ulcer prevention measures among inpatients in Class ⅢGrade A hospitals in Hainan province. To provide basis for fomulating bundle of care model to prevent and intervent pressure ulcer, and establishing early warning management model on nosocomial pressure ulcer in ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in Hainan province. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted on inpatients from 7 ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in Hainan province. A investigation was performed by a self-designed inpatients'questionnaire and qualified tools on pressure ulcer and other skin injuries. Statistical analysis of data using by SPSS19.0 software. Results The content validity index of the self-designed inpatients'questionnaire and qualified tools on pressure ulcer and other skin injuries was 0.91, Cronbach α coefficient was 0.93. The prevalence of pressure sores was 2.28% (165/7 248), of which 66.06% (109/ 165) was family involvement, 30.30% (50/165) was hospital acquired, 3.03% (5/165) was community involvement,and 0.61% (1/165) was both from family and hospital acquired. Medical instrument related pressure ulcer accounted for 18.18%(30/165) of the total number of pressure ulcer. The most common site of pressure ulcer was the sacrococcygeal region, accounting for 47.94% (93/194). The proportion of pressure ulcer in stageⅡwas the highest (35.57% , 69/194). 52.01% (647/1 244) of patients at risk of pressure ulcer did not use the anti-pressure devices,and 81.40% (1 013/1 244) of patients' main compression sites were not covered by dressings.35.50%(442/1 244) of patients did not according to plans or regularly turn over, only 56.19% (699/1 244) patients turned over every 2 hours. 61.57% (442/1 244) patients who have pressure ulcer did not have anti-pressure ulcer signs. Among other skin injuries: the prevalence of incontinence related dermatitis was 0.88%(64/7 248), and the prevalence of avulsion skin injury was 0.37%(27/7 248). Conclusions The incidence of acquired pressure ulcer in ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in our province is slightly higher than other domestic investigation results. The reasons may be that anti-pressure devices in hospital configuration are not enough, lack of the tailored bundle of prevention measures of pressure ulcer, and failure to establish an effective early warning management model on pressure ulcer etc. So prevention and treatment of pressure ulcer should have a further standard management. Instrument related pressure ulcer and incontinence related dermatitis should also attract the attention of clinical nurses and managers.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the correlation between the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and HIV-1 RNA viral load, immune activation and exhaustion in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Methods:A total of 81 HIV/AIDS patients (64 without antiretroviral therapy and 17 with therapy) and 40 healthy donors in the same period were enrolled as the control group. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the CD4 +T lymphocyte count and the expression levels of activation markers CD38 and HLA-DR and apoptosis marker PD-1 on CD8 +T cells. HIV-1 RNA in the plasma of HIV-1 infected patients was quantitatively detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Variance analysis was used to compare the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells between HIV/AIDS patients and healthy controls. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between different T lymphocyte counts and HIV RNA viral load, and the correlation between HIV RNA viral load and peripheral blood CD8 +T cell CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1. Results:Among the 81 HIV/AIDS patients, 69 (85.19%) were males and 12 (14.81%) were females, with an age M ( Q1, Q3) of 58 (36.5, 65.0) years. There were 60 HIV/AIDS patients over 55 years old (74.07%) and 21 HIV/AIDS patients between 18 and 55 years old (25.93%). The results of variance analysis showed that compared with the healthy control group, the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells in HIV/AIDS patients increased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). In addition, the expression of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 increased significantly in patients with CD4 +T cell count less than 350 cells/μl, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that CD4 +and CD4 +/CD8 +were negatively correlated with viral load in HIV/AIDS patients ( r=-0.407 and -0.378, respectively, both P<0.05), and CD8 +was positively correlated with viral load ( r=0.356, P<0.05). When the HIV RNA level was≤10 5 CPs/ml, there was no correlation between the HIV RNA level and the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells (all P>0.05). However, when the level of HIV RNA was>10 5 CPs/ml, the level of HIV RNA was positively correlated with the expression levels of CD38, HLA-DR and PD-1 on CD8 +T cells ( r=0.412, 0.387, 0.395, respectively, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The activation levels of CD38 and HLA-DR and the expression of PD-1 on CD8 +T cells in the peripheral blood of HIV/AIDS patients are increased. When the viral load is high, the HIV RNA viral load is positively correlated with the activation and exhaustion levels of CD8 +T cells.

Objectives:To explore the clinical characteristics of children with adenoid hypertrophy (AH) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) by detecting the expression of pepsin in adenoids as a standard for AH with LPR.Methods:A total of 190 children who were admitted for surgical treatment due to AH were included in the study. The main clinical symptoms of the patients were recorded, and the degree of adenoid hypertrophy was evaluated. Before the surgery, Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RFS) were used to evaluate the reflux symptoms. After the surgery, pepsin immunohistochemical staining was performed on the adenoid tissue, and according to the staining results, the patients were divided into study group (pepsin staining positive) and control group (pepsin staining negative). SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Quantitative data conforming to normal distribution between the two groups were tested by two-independent sample t test, and quantitative data with skewed distribution were tested by Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The positive rate of pepsin staining in the 190 AH patients was 78.4% (149/190). The study group had higher levels of preoperative symptoms such as erythema and/or congestion of the pharynx(2.1±0.7 vs. 1.8±0.6, t=2.23), vocal cord edema[1.0(0, 1.0) vs. 1.0(0, 1.0), Z=2.00], diffuse laryngeal edema[0(0, 1.0) vs. 0(0, 0), Z=2.48], posterior commissure hypertrophy[(1.4±0.6 vs. 1.1±0.5), t=2.63], and a higher total score on the RFS scale than the control group(6.2±2.7 vs. 5.0±2.6, t=2.47), with statistical differences ( P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of RFS score in diagnosing AH with LPR were 24.8% and 80.5%, respectively. When RFS>5 was used as the positive threshold, the sensitivity and specificity of RFS score in diagnosing AH with LPR were 61.1% and 58.5%, respectively. There was a statistical difference in the number of positive cases of RFS score between the study group and the control group(91 vs. 17, χ2=5.04, P=0.032). Conclusions:LPR is common in AH children. Children with AH and LPR have specific performance in electronic laryngoscopy, such as erythema with edema in the pharynx, posterior commissure hypertrophy, and vocal cord edema.
