Objective To investigate cleanliness of hospital environmental object surfaces and hands of health care workers(HCWs).Methods The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)bioluminescence assay was used to detect object surfaces and hands of HCWs in a hospital,on-the-spot intervention was conducted.Results The qualified rates of hospital environmental object surfaces and ventilator-relevant object surfaces were 58.14% (200/344)and 69.88%(116/166)respectively,the qualified rate of ventilator tracheal intubation site was low (29.17%);the qualified rate of telephone surfaces was the lowest (27.27%).The qualified rates of ventilator-relevant object surfaces used con-tinuously for ≥48h and <48 h were 56.70%(55/97)and 88.41 %(61/69)respectively,there was significant differ-ence between the two(χ2 =19.26,P <0.01).The qualified rates of HCWs’hands before and after intervention were 34.18% and 85.58% respectively,relative light unit (RLU)values were (1 033.46±106.20)and (80.46±10.68) respectively,the qualified rates and RLU before and after intervention were both significantly different (both P <0.01).Conclusion Contamination of object surfaces and hands’of HCWs in hospital dynamic environment is seri-ous,ATP bioluminescence detection and on-the-spot intervention is helpful for improving cleanliness of hospital en-vironment object surfaces and HCWs’compliance to hand hygiene.
2.Twenty-Five Years of the Midurethral Sling: Lessons Learned
International Neurourology Journal 2022;26(2):102-110
Midurethral slings (MUS) are widely accepted for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in cases where conservative treatment has failed. They have been shown to be a safe and effective surgical treatment for the management of SUI. However, there have recently been growing concerns regarding the safety profile of mesh procedures, generating international debate and leading to national inquiries into the effectiveness and safety of mesh implants. A multitude of clinical, technical, manufacturer-related, and other health jurisdictional factors are involved in the outcomes of MUS. Appropriate patient selection and informed consent to all treatment options, with proper guidance from healthcare providers, are critical for empowering women to choose an appropriate treatment option based on a personalized decision.

CUDC-101, an effective and multi-target inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), histone deacetylase (HDAC), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), has been reported to inhibit many kinds of cancers, such as acute promyelocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, no studies have yet investigated whether CUDC-101 is effective against myeloma. Herein, we proved that CUDC-101 effectively inhibits the proliferation of multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and induces cell apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Moreover, CUDC-101 markedly blocked the signaling pathway of EGFR/phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) and HDAC, and regulated the cell cycle G2/M arrest. Moreover, we revealed through in vivo experiment that CUDC-101 is a potent anti-myeloma drug. Bortezomib is one of the important drugs in MM treatment, and we investigated whether CUDC-101 has a synergistic or additive effect with bortezomib. The results showed that this drug combination had a synergistic anti-myeloma effect by inducing G2/M phase blockade. Collectively, our findings revealed that CUDC-101 could act on its own or in conjunction with bortezomib, which provides insights into exploring new strategies for MM treatment.
