Objective:To investigate the characteristics of nosocomial infection and relative risk factors, and provide the basis for the management and control of nosocomial infection.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on all inpatients with nosocomial infection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from 0:00 to 24:00 on September 18, 2018.Results:There were 2 766 inpatients in the survey day, and the detection rate was 100%. The number of nosocomial infections was 57, with a current incidence rate of 2.06% (57/2 766), and the number of infections was 60, with a secondary incidence rate of 2.17% (60/2 766). The departments with the highest infection rates were neurosurgery department and intensive care units (ICU), which were 9.92% (13/131) and 9.38% (6/64) respectively. The lower respiratory tract at the infected site was the first, accounting for 50.00% (30/60). The main pathogens of nosocomial infection were gram-negative bacteria. The incidence of nosocomial infection was higher in patients with age ≥60 years ( χ2 value was 18.22 , P<0.001), ventilator( χ2 value was 37.84 , P<0.001), urinary tract intubation ( χ2 value was 180.57 , P<0.001), diabetic nephropathy ( χ2 value was 34.71 , P<0.001), and hemodialysis ( χ2 value was 368.60 , P<0.001) with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The focus should be on the prevention and treatment of lower respiratory tract infection inpatients in the intensive care unit of neurosurgery, and medic should develop preventive measures to avoid the occurrence of nosocomial infection according to the risk factors of patients with age ≥60 years, ventilator, urinary tract intubation, diabetic nephropathy, and hemodialysis to shorten hospital stay and costs.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of TiRobot navigation combined with ankle arthroscopy in the reduction and internal fixation of Hawkins type Ⅱ talus neck fracture.Methods:From January 2019 to September 2020, a total of 13 patients with Hawkins type Ⅱ talus neck fracture were admitted to Department of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Xuzhou Renci Hospital. They were 8 males and 5 females, with a mean age of 35.8 years (from 22 to 61 years). All fractures were reduced and fixated using TiRobot navigation combined with ankle arthroscopy. Time for fracture reduction assisted by intraoperative arthroscopy, time for internal fixation assisted by TiRobotic navigation, fracture union time and complications were recorded. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score was used at the last follow-up to evaluate the functional outcomes.Results:All the operations were finished within 2 hour. The primary screw placement succeeded in all. The time for fracture reduction assisted by intraoperative arthroscopy averaged 52.8 min (from 43 to 66 min) and the time for internal fixation assisted by TiRobotic navigation 43.6 min (from 33 to 55 min). All the patients were followed up for an average 13.3 months(from 12 to 15 monhs). They obtained bony union within 3 months. One patient developed traumatic subtalar arthritis with mild pain and was treated conservatively. None of the patients had complications like incision infection or talus necrosis. The average AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was 91.0 points (from 83 to 94 points) at the last follow-up.Conclusion:In the reduction and internal fixation of Hawkins type Ⅱ talus neck fracture, TiRobot navigation combined with ankle arthroscopy shows advantages of minimal invasion, accurate reduction and screw placement, and limited complications, leading to fine short-term functional outcomes.
