Objective:
To investigate the current status of knowledge and practice pertaining to nosocomial infection control among medical professionals in grassroots healthcare institutions, so as to provide the evidence of improving the level of infection control in grassroots healthcare institutions.
Methods:
All medical professionals working in grassroots healthcare institutions in Pukou District, Nanjing City, were enrolled. The participants' demographic features and knowledge and practice of nosocomial infection control were collected using self-designed questionnaires and descriptively analyzed.
Results:
A total of 402 participants were enrolled, included 116 men ( 28.86% ) and 286 women ( 71.14% ). The respondents were predominantly at ages of 41 years and older ( 187 subjects, 46.52% ), with bachelor and above as the predominant educational level ( 200 subjects, 49.75% ) and intermediate title and above as the predominant professional title ( 168 subjects, 41.79%) , and there were 236 participants ( 58.71% ) with the length of service for more than 10 years. The awareness rate of nosocomial infection control knowledge was 56.22% among medical professionals working in grassroots healthcare institutions, with the highest awareness for COVID-19 prevention and control ( 89.55% ) and the lowest awareness for the key aspects in nosocomial infection control ( 39.55% ). The formation rate of implementing nosocomial infection control practices was 84.08%, with a low rate for “Implement satisfactorily the isolation interventions for patients with multidrug resistant bacteria” ( 71.14% ) and “Implement satisfactorily the control measures for nosocomial infections in key departments and key aspects”( 64.68% ).
Conclusions
Low levels are seen in the awareness of nosocomial infection control, behaviors of multidrug resistance management and key aspects in nosocomial infection control among medical professionals in grassroots healthcare institutions in Pukou District.

Objective To study the effect of anti-epileptic,nootropic drugs on the expression of NCAM and ERK2 in the hippocampus changes on the epileptic rats with cognitive dysfunction.Methods A total of 120Wistar rats were used.20 controls and 100 in which epilepticus with cognitive dysfunction were randomly assigned to 5 groups (n =20/group) that received daily treatments for 30 days with either (1) saline (epilepsy),(2) carbamazine (traditional anti-epileptic),(3) oxcarbazine (new anti-epileptic),(4) aniracetam (brain protective),or (5) donepezil (nootopic).Spatial learning and memory were assessed with a Morris Water Maze (MWM).Hippocampus tissue was assessed for NCAM1 and ERK-2 mRNAs by RT-PCR and proteins by immunochemistry.Results The mean escape latency of the place navigation test:EP group ((67.14 ± 7.37)s)was all higher than NS group (35.78 ± 4.84 s)and there was statistical significance (P < 0.01),carbamazepine group ((81.23 ± 9.46)s) > EP group((67.14 ±7.37)s) > donepezi group((53.75 ±6.74) s) (P<0.01).Immunohistochemical and RT-PCR result:carbamazepine < oxcarbazepine < epilepsy < aniracetam < donepezi group.Compared with control group,donepezil group > control group (P < 0.01),aniracetam group > control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion ERK-2 expression is decreased and NCAM 1 expression is increased in the hippocampus in the epileptic rats.Thus,both are involved in cognitive dysfunction.Carbamazepine aggravates cognitive dysfunction,whereas donepezil improves cognitive dysfunction associated with epilepsy.

Objective To study the expression of BCSG1 ,S100A4,VEGF in human breast cancer.Methods Immunohistochemistry technique SP method was used to examine breast fibroadenoma in 40 cases,breast invasive ductal carcinoma in 62 cases ( by armpit lymph node metastasis as 2 groups) and corresponding paratumor tissues in 48 cases. Results Among the 4 groups, there was significant difference ( P<0.05 ) in the positive immunostaining rate of BCSG1 ,S100A4, VEGF. Conclusions In the breast invasive ductal carcinoma, the expression of BCSG1, S100A4 and VEGF increased. This suggested the invasive and metastasis ability of the neoplasm enhanced. The expression were in positive correlation with tumor pathology. Combined detection of BCSG1, S100A4, VEGF expression contributes to the early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of the carcinoma of the breast.

Objective To investigate the optimal initial concentration of microRNA22 agomir in epilepsy model induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine after single injection of lateral ventricle.Methods 36 rats with acute temporal lobe epilepsy were randomly divided into 6 groups:the control group and the other five groups were the experimental group.All epilepsy rats were selected for right lateral ventricle injection.The control group was given negative control reagent,while the experimental group were given 0.1 mmol/L,2.5 mmol/L,5 mmol/L,10 mmol/L,20 mmol/L different concentrations of miRNA22agomir reagent.6 rats in each group were randomly selected for acute phase experiment after 3 days of administration.The expression of P2X7 in hippocampus of epilepsy rats was determined by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).Results Compared with control group,the protein and mRNA expression of P2X7 reduced in all of the model group.The protein and mRNA expression level of P2X7 protein in hippocampus of rats injected with 2.5 mmol/L,5 mmol/L and 10 mmol/L in each experimental group were significantly lower than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05).Moreover,the protein and mRNA expression level of P2X7 were the lowest at 2.5 mmol/L injection and 10 mmol/L,and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions The optimal onset concentration for unilateral lateral ventricle injection miRNA22 agomir treatment of temporal lobe epilepsy is 2.5 mmol/L.

Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA-22 (miRNA-22) on the expression of P2X7 receptor and inflammatory factors in hippocampus of rats with epilepsy. Methods Healthy SD male rats were intraperitoneal injected with lithium chloride and pilocarpine to induce epilepsy. Three days later, 45 epileptic rats were randomly divided into three groups: epilepsy group( EP group), miRNA-22 agomir group (EF+agomir group) and miRNA-22 agomir control group ( EF+agomir control group). Another 15 healthy rats were selected as control group(N group). The expression of P2X7 protein was detected by West- ern blot and the levels of miRNA-22, P2X7 mRNA, NF-κB mRNA ,IL-1β mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR. Nissl staining was used to observe the damage of Nissl bodies. Results Western blot result showed that compared with the N group(0. 91±0. 10), the level of P2X7 protein in EP group (1. 17±0. 052) in-creased, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-4. 11,P=0. 02). Compared with the EP+ag-omir control group(0. 94± 0. 14),the expression of P2X7 protein in EP+agomir group (0. 66± 0. 06) de-creased and the difference was significant (t=-3. 10,P=0. 04). And the qRT-PCR results showed that compared with N group, the levels of P2X7mRNA (9. 08±0. 94), NF-κB mRNA (20. 10±2. 15) and IL-1β mRNA (50. 64±5. 42) in EP group increased(t=-14. 96,P<0. 05; t=-15. 38,P<0. 05; t=-15. 87,P<0. 05). The expression of P2X7mRNA (1. 31 ± 0. 64), NF-κB mRNA ( 2. 28 ± 1. 10) and IL-1β mRNA (2. 12±1. 20) in EF+agomir group decreased compared with EP group((9. 08± 0. 94),( 20. 10± 2. 15), (50. 64±5. 42)) and EF+agomir control group((7. 03 ±1. 90),(18. 72±1. 76),(47. 39±6. 16)), and the differences were statistically significant(F=29. 77, P<0. 01;F=98. 99, P<0. 05;F=96. 29, P<0. 01). Nissl staining results showed that a large number of morphologically abnormal and disintegrated Nissl bodies could be observed in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 regions of EP group,which showed a smaller size,irreg-ular morphology,chromatin pyknosis,boundary blur between nucleus and cytoplasm. Compared with the nor-mal group, the difference was significant (P<0. 05). While in miRNA-22 agomir group, the disintegration of Nissl bodies was improved and the number of Nissl bodies increased. Conclusion Intraventricular injec-tion of miRNA-22 agomir can down-regulate the expression of P2X7 receptor and related inflammatory factors in hippocampus of epileptic rats, thus inhibiting seizures.
