Objective To investigate the effect of maximal sterile barrier precaution during deep venous/arterial catheterization on preventing catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI)in patients in the department of critical care medicine.Methods 996 patients who were hospitalized in Beijing Friendship Hospital and underwent deep ve-nous/arterial catheterization from September 2011 to April 2014 were analyzed retrospectively,patients were divided into standard sterile barrier precaution group (SSB group,September 2011-December 2012,n=560)and maximal sterile barrier precaution group (MSB group,January 2013-April 2014,n=436)based on whether they received maximal sterile barrier precaution,incidence of CRBSI and mortality were compared between two groups.Results There was no statistical difference in constitute of intubation sites between patients in SSB group and MSB group(χ2=6.750,P=0.08).The incidence of CRBSI per 1000 catheter days in SSB group and MSB group were 2.41‰(1.64‰-4.02‰)and 1.91‰(0‰-4.56‰)respectively,rank test revealed no significant difference(Z=-0.057, P>0.05);24 (4.29%)patients in SSB group and 26(5.96%)patients in MSB group developed CRBSI,difference between two groups was not statistically significant(χ2=1.447,P>0.05).The mortality in SSB group and MSB group were (18.43±5.53)% and (11.68±4.14)% respectively,independent sample t-test revealed that difference was significant(t=3.907,P<0.05).Conclusion Maximal sterile barrier precaution did not reduce the incidence of CRBSI.

Objective To explore the application value of transperineal three-dimensional ultrasound combined with SWE in evalu-ating the effect of delivery mode on the morphology and function of levator ANI muscle in primipara,and to provide a new method for early diagnosis of pelvic floor dysfunction(PFD).Methods A total of 92 primiparas who were re-examined 6-8 weeks after delivery in our hospital were selected as postpartum group,and divided into vaginal delivery group(n=45)and cesarean section group(n=47)accord-ing to their delivery mode,and healthy women without childbirth at the same period were selected as control group(n=43).Transperineal three-dimensional ultrasound combined with SWE was used to examine the differences in the morphological parameters and elastic param-eters of levator anal hiatus in different states among all groups.Results The hiatus area of levator anal muscle(LHA)at rest,maximum anal retraction and maximum Valsalva in the vaginal delivery group was greater than that in the cesarean section group and control group,and the cesarean section group was greater than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).Compared with control group and cesarean section group,the elastic parameters of vaginal delivery group at rest and maximum anal retraction were de-creased,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in elastic parameters between the cesar-ean section group and the control group(P>0.05).The difference between maximum Valsalva state and resting state LHA(Δ A')was negatively correlated with the difference before and after contraction of bilateral PR Young's modulus(ΔE)(left r=-0.444,P=0.008;Right r=0.488,P=0.002).Conclusion Three-dimensional perineal ultrasonography combined with SWE can quantitatively evaluate the morphology and function of levator ANI muscle,and provide evidence for the early diagnosis of PFD.

Objective To prepare an influenza A(H1N1) split-virus vaccine and observe its safe-ty and effectiveness. Methods According to the process for preparing seasonal flu split-virus vaccine two batches of vaccine were prepared with the flu A (H1N1) vaccine virus strain recommended by WHO. The pilot products were tested against the requirements of flu split-virus vaccine. Results The quality of the pi-lot vaccine has been tested by National Control Laboratory and conformed to the requirements. Nine hundred and sixty volunteers received one dose of vaccine containing either 15 μg or 30 μg of hemagglutinin. The re-suits indicated the both seroconversion rate and protection rate were higher the 70%. The GMT of HIAb of the volunteers who received 1 dose of 15 μg increased significantly by 15, 39, 37 and 25 times compared to those before vaccination in the age groups of 3-11, 12-17, 18-59 and ≥60, respectively. And 26, 72, 68 and 36 times rise were found in the postvaccinated volunteers of 30 μg group. The total adverse reaction rates of 15 μg and 30 μg dose group were 29.38% and 43.75%, respectively. The grade 2 adverse reaction rates of 15 μg and 30 μg dose group were 6.25% and 15.42%, and the grade 3 adverse reaction rates of 15 μg and 30 μg dose group were 0.83% and 1.46%, respectively. No serious adverse reactions were found. Conclusion The influenza A (H1N1) split-virus vaccine prepared according to the requirements of season-al flu vaccine is safe and effective.

Objective To consummate the cleaning process of medical power tool so as to improve the quality of cleaning of medical power tool.Methods The failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA) project group was built up in April 2016. The cleaning process of medical power tool was analyzed with the method of FMEA. The intervention was carried out aiming at high risk factor. Besides, the cleaning process of medical power tool was consummated and improved continually combining the detection results of ATP bioluminescence assay. The risk assessment of the cleaning process of medical power tool was carried out to determine high risk factors and formulate as well as implement improvement measures. The control effect of risk priority number (RPN) of cleaning on medical power tool and cleaning effect were compared before (March 2016) and after (September 2016) FMEA.Results The RPN of the cleaning process of medical power tool decreased from (218.17±89.14) before implementing FMEA to (33.26±9.54) after implementing FMEA. The qualified rate of ATP bioluminescence assay in washing quality increased from 68.6% to 98.5% before and after implementation with a significant difference (χ2=22.94,P<0.01).Conclusions The application of FMEA can effectively control the risk factors of the cleaning process of medical power tool, improve the cleaning quality of power tool and reduce the opportunity for infection in patients.

Tung tree (Vernicia fordii) is an economically important woody oil plant that produces tung oil rich in eleostearic acid. Here, we report a high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence of tung tree. The genome sequence was assembled by combining Illumina short reads, Pacific Bio-sciences single-molecule real-time long reads, and Hi-C sequencing data. The size of tung tree gen-ome is 1.12 Gb, with 28,422 predicted genes and over 73% repeat sequences. The V. fordii underwent an ancient genome triplication event shared by core eudicots but no further whole-genome duplication in the subsequent ca. 34.55 million years of evolutionary history of the tung tree lineage. Insertion time analysis revealed that repeat-driven genome expansion might have arisen as a result of long-standing long terminal repeat retrotransposon bursts and lack of efficient DNA deletion mechanisms. The genome harbors 88 resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding sites;17 of these genes may be involved in early-infection stage of Fusarium wilt resistance. Further, 651 oil-related genes were identified, 88 of which are predicted to be directly involved in tung oil biosynthesis. Relatively few phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase genes, and synergistic effectsbetween transcription factors and oil biosynthesis-related genes might contribute to the high oil content of tung seed. The tung tree genome constitutes a valuable resource for understanding genome evolution, as well as for molecular breeding and genetic improvements for oil production.
