Objective:To investigate the current management of nosocomial infection at medical institutions of all levels in Changzhou, so as to provide basis for standardizing nosocomial infections control of hospitals within a medical alliance.Methods:An electronic questionnaire was customized for online survey of 91 hospitals affiliated to eight regional medical alliances in Changzhou city in March 2019. The survey covered such aspects as general conditions of the hospital, profile of nosocomial infection control administrators and other staffing, supervision of hospital nosocomial infection programs, and training needs, as well as outstanding problems and suggestions.Frequency number and percentage represent enumeration data, and χ2 test was used to analyze the in-group differences of medical institutions of three levels. Results:Tertiary public hospitals were superior to the secondary and primary hospitals in organizational structure, professional staffing and target monitoring, with the differences of statistical significance( P<0.05). The most urgent training needs of medical institutions at all levels were knowledge in determination and reporting of infectious diseases/nosocomial infection/infection outbreaks; top imperatives and recommendations were development of operation rules for primary medical institutions and standardization of workflows. Conclusions:Staff of primary medical institutions need capacity building in nosocomial infection control; primary hospitals are equipped with incomplete nosocomial infection control information platform; key departments in general lack homogenous management. Tertiary hospitals are encouraged to play leadership in medical alliances in achieving standardized, homogenous and informationized nosocomial infection control within the medical alliances.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of long non-coding RNA （LncRNA） metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 （MALAT1） and doxorubicin （DOX） resistance in osteosarcoma （OS） cells. METHODS MG-63 and MG-63/DOX cells were treated with different concentrations of DOX （0， 0.01， 0.05， 0.1， 1 μmol/L）， and survival rates and half maximal inhibitory concentration were determined using CCK-8 assay. The expressions of LncRNA MALAT1 in MG-63 and MG-63/ DOX cells were detected by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR. MG-63/DOX cells were divided into Control group， knocking down LncRNA MALAT1 negative control （sh-NC） group， sh-MALAT1 group， sh-MALAT1+anti-NC group， and sh-MALAT1+ anti-miR-154-5p group. The expressions of LncRNA MALAT1， miR-154-5p and cyclin D1 （CCND1） mRNA in MG-63/DOX cells of each group were detected. The effects of knocking down LncRNA MALAT1 on the proliferation， migration， invasion， and apoptosis of MG-63/DOX cells were detected by CCK-8 assay， scratch test， Transwell experiment and flow cytometry， respectively. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear protein （PCNA） and CCND1 protein in MG-63/DOX cells was detected by Western blot assay. Interactions between LncRNA MALAT1 and miR-154-5p， miR-154-5p and CCND1 were detected by dual luciferase reporter gene experiment. RESULTS Compared with 0 μmol/L DOX， 0.01， 0.05， 0.1 and 1 μmol/L DOX could reduce the survival rates of MG-63 and MG-63/DOX cells （except for 0.01 μmol/L DOX） （P＜0.05）， IC50 were 0.07 and 0.13 μmol/L， respectively. The survival rate， cell migration number and invasion number of MG-63/DOX cells， scratch closure rate， mRNA expressions of LncRNA MALAT1， mRNA and protein expressions of CCND1， and PCNA protein expression in sh-MALAT1 group were significantly lower than sh-NC group and Control group； the apoptosis rate and miR-154-5p expression were significantly higher than sh-NC group and Control group （P＜0.05）. sh-MALAT1+anti-miR-154-5p group was able to reverse the aforementioned biological effects in sh-MALAT1 group （P＜0.05）. In MG-63/DOX cells transfected with both MALAT1-wild type （WT） and CCND1-WT， the luciferase activity in the miR-154-5p mimic group was significantly lower than mimic negative control group （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Knocking down LncRNA MALAT1 can inhibit the DOX resistance of OS cells， and its mechanism may be targeting the miR-154-5p/CCND1 axis.
