OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical application of the two surgical hand antisepsis methods on hand sterilizing effect. METHODS Totally 123 medical staff of operating theater were divided into Avagard surgical washing liquid (60) and orthodox surgical hand antisepsis (63) groups at random. The samples were derived from fingers and cultured before,just after and 2h after sterilization. RESULTS The colony counts were 4.64?4.87,0.05?0.16 and 0.02?0.10 CFU/cm2,respectively in avagard surgical washing liquid group;vs 4.10?4.03,0.08?0.26 and 0.49?1.31 CFU/cm2,respectively,in orthodox surgical hand antisepsis group. There were statistical differences of the cultures of the two groups (P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical feature of nosocomial infection and the type of pathogens in general hospital, and provide the scientific theory basis in order to prevent and control the nosocomial infection. METHODS An analysis was made on the basis of the survey, the data came from hospitalized cases from 2000 to 2006. RESULTS Their prevalence rate was 3.8%. The highest infected rate was in ICU (16.9%). The main infection site was respiratory tract. Among pathogens isolated from nosocomial infection cases, 45.65% were Gram-negatives, 31.9% were fungi, and 20.58% were Gram-positives. The formation rate of the Enterococcus gradually increasesd from year to year. CONCLUSIONS There are many effective actions to reduce the nosocomial infection, such as strengthening the medical training, carrying out the aseptic technology strictly, reducing the invasive operation, raising the executable rate of hand hygiene, and using the antibacterial drug reasonably.

Objective To evaluate the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on brain injury in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty-five patients with chronic valvular heart disease,aged 36-62 yr,weighing 42-92 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,with New York Heart Association of Ⅱ or Ⅲ,undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),and different doses of rHuEPO groups (EPO1 group,EPO2 group).In EPO1 and EPO2 groups,rHuEPO 40 and 80 IU/kg were injected intravenously before anesthesia induction,respectively.Before anesthesia induction (T0,baseline value),immediately after endotracheal intubation (T1),immediately after aortic cannulation (T2),immediately after cannulation of superior and inferior vena cava (T3),immediately after the beginning of CPB (T4),when each index was decreased to the minimal value during CPB (T5),after rewarming to 36.5 ℃ (T6),immediately after termination of CPB (T7),and at 1 h after termination of CPB (T8),regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2),tissue hemoglobin index (THI),and changes in concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (△ O2Hb),deoxyhemoglobin (△ HHb) and total hemoglobin (△ cHb) in bilateral frontal lobes were recorded.The patients whose minimal rSO2 ≤ 50％ and decrease in minimal rSO2 ≥ 20％ of the baseline value (△rSO2) were recorded.At T0,T8 and 2 h after termination of CPB (T9),venous blood samples were taken for determination of serum concentrations of S100 protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) by ELISA.At 1 day before surgery and 8 days after surgery,the patient's cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination,the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R),the Digit Symbol subtest of the WAIS-R,the Trailing Making Test (Part A)and the Stroop Color Word Interference Test,while depression and anxiety were assessed by Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale,respectively.The occurrence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was recorded.Results There was no significant difference among the three groups in bilateral rSO2 and △ cHb,incidence of bilateral rSO2 ≤ 50％ and postoperative cognitive dysfunction,Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale score,and Zung Self-Rating anxiety Scale score at each time point (P＞0.05).Compared with group C,the incidence of left △ rSO2 ≥ 20％ was significantly decreased,the right △ O2 Hb was increased at T6,8,the serum NSE concentrations were decreased at T9,the serum S100 protein concentrations were decreased at T8,and the number of the Digit Symbol subtest of the WAIS-R completed was increased in group EPO1,and right THI was significantly decreased at T2,T3,T5,T7 and T8,right △ HHb was increased at T2 and T3,and the completion time of Stroop color word interference test B was shortened at 8 days after surgery in group EPO2 (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group EPO1,the incidence of left △rSO2 ≥ 20％ was significantly increased,the right THI was decreased at T2-4 and T6-8,and the left △ O2 Hb at T6-7 and right △ O2 Hb at T8 were decreased in group EPO2 (P＜0.05).Conclusion rHuEPO 40 IU/kg injected intravenously before induction of anesthesia can mitigate brain injury in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), to investigate whether there is a difference in the prevalence of depression and anxiety between PsA and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and to identify associated risk factors for depression and anxiety in PsA patients. METHODS: PsA and RA patients who visited Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology in Peking University First Hospital from May 2018 to Sep 2019 were recruited. Self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale were surveyed and compared between PsA and RA patients. Demographics and clinical features including age, gender, disease duration, disease activity score, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), and medical application were collected. Power Doppler and grey-scale ultrasound of joints, tenosynovitis and enthesis were performed. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with mood disorders and the odds ratio of depression and anxiety between the PsA and RA patients. RESULTS: Among the 114 enrolled PsA patients, 37 (32.5%) had mood disorders, in which 36 (31.6%) with depression and 15 (13.2%) with anxiety. Compared with 201 RA patients, PsA patients showed greater odds for depression [adjusted OR (95%CI): 2.7 (1.1-6.4)]. Depression was more often observed in the PsA than in the RA patients (31.6% vs. 18.9%, P=0.011). The similar trend for anxiety was also observed, although the difference was insignificant (13.2% vs. 8.5%, P=0.185). Age (OR=0.95, P=0.008), psoriasis duration (OR=0.94, P=0.018), pain visual analogue scale (OR=1.47, P=0.011), PASI score (OR=1.07, P=0.007) and presence of ultrasound enthesitis (OR=4.13, P=0.009) were identified as factors associated with depression in the PsA patients. PASI score (OR=1.07, P=0.001) was identified as associated factor for anxiety in the PsA patients. CONCLUSION The prevalence of depression and anxiety is elevated in PsA patients. Depression is significantly more prevalent in PsA patients than in RA patients. Younger age, shorter psoriasis duration, worse pain and presence of ultrasound enthesitis are associated with depression, while severe psoriasis rash is associated with both depression and anxiety in PsA patients.

It is important to investigate the mechanical effects of morphology of prostatic urethra (PU) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PU and bladder neck transverse diameter ratio (RPU-1), which related to vortex, and their influence on urine flow were observed by CFD. The results showed that vortexes appeared and expanded with increasing RPU on both sides of PU when RPU-1>0.79, and velocity of external urethral orifice decreased gradually. CFD is an available method for urodynamics research. The quantitative simulation of the relationship between RPU-1 and vortex was proposed for the first time, providing a new idea for advancing theory of PU lumen repair in BPH.

By using the Medical Case Inquiry System and registries of infant's birth,the number of women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and the total number of women delivering in the First and Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University,Chongqing Xinqiao Hospital,and Chongqing Health Center For Women and Children from 2005 to 2009 were obtained.The data of 540 pregnant women with GDM were further analyzed.From 2005 to 2009,the incidence of GDM increased from 2.29% to 3.81 %(P<0.05).The diagnosis of GDM was made earlier by 28.0 weeks in 2009 compared with 31.3 weeks in 2005(P<0.05).Body mass index during GDM diagnosis manifested a growing trend(25.6-28.1 kg/m2),but no significance(P>0.05).From 2005 to 2009,the other related factors,including the average maternal age,the constituent ratio of women with advanced maternal age,pregnancy history,delivery history,and family history of diabetes showed insignificant changes(P>0.05).
