The width of the tooth crown, the size of the dental arch and dental base bone were measured with a vernier. The measurments were statistically analysed.Results: The tooth crown in boys was wider than that in girls( P 0.05). There was no significant difference in Bolton index and Point index between boys and girls.Conclusion: The dental measurments may be refrences for dental clinic and research.

Objective To explore the risk factors and prognosis of hospitalized patients with bloodstream infection due to carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB).Methods 163 patients with CRAB bloodstream in-fection from 2010 to 2013 were conducted retrospective case-control study,68 patients with bloodstream infection due to carbapenem-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii (CSAB)during the same period were as control group. Results The independent risk factors for CRAB bloodstream infection were stay in intensive care unit(ICU)(OR, 1 .27[95%CI ,5.55-22.89])and emergency department(OR,3.57 [95%CI ,1 .67 -7.62])before infection.Pa-tients with CRAB bloodstream infection had lower 28-day survival rate than those with CSAB bloodstream infection (66.17% vs 96.95%,χ2 =15.71 ,P <0.001 ).The independent risk factors for influencing prognosis of Acineto-bacter baumannii bloodstream infection were infection of CRAB (HR 95% CI ,3.01 -67.28),blood disease(HR 95%CI ,3.77-25.97),cardiac insufficiency(HR 95%CI ,2.10-20.41),stay in ICU(HR 95%CI ,1 .01 -5.28), and age(HR 95%CI ,1 .01 -1 .04).Conclusion The independent risk factors for CRAB bloodstream infection are stay in ICU and emergency department before infection,CRAB bloodstream infection is risk factor for influencing prognosis of patients.

Objective To study the injuries of avulsion and severance of upper extremity caused by flexion and rotation and application of tissues of chest side and back in functional reconstruction of the upper extremity. Methods The primary or fosterage replantations were performed from 2000 July to 2003 September for 6 cases of the injuries of avulsion and severance of upper extremity caused by flexion and rotation. After the operation, the shoulder joint was immobilized at abduction of 90 degrees and elbow joint was fixated at inflexion of 100 degrees. 4 weeks later, the fixation was removed and the regular functional training was started. Results Follow-ups ranging from 3 months to 2 years revealed that all the cases of replantation were successful. After operation, the shoulder joint could abduct 50?～90?, anteflect 50?～70?, extend backwards 20?～30?, and adduct 20?～40?. The elbow joint could flex 100?～140?and extend -20?～0?. 3 months after reconstruction, the muscle strength of elbow flexion recovered to Ⅳ～Ⅴdegrees. Conclusion Application of tissues of chest side and back to repair avulsion and severance of upper extremity stage by stages and layer by layer is an ideal method to resolve the contradiction between wound coverage and functional reconstruction because it can restore both the function and appearance.

Methods130 hospitals and Disabled Persons' Federations in Tianjin selected by stratified random cluster sampling were surveyed by questionnaires.Results About 49.2% institutions had carried out the rehabilitation services; there were 842 rehabilitation medical professionals in total, including237 rehabilitation physicians and 3 prosthetic orthopaedic technicians, with a gap of nearly 3000 people; most of them were in loweducation. Conclusion The rehabilitation service should be developed; the quantities and quality of the rehabilitation medical professionalsshould be improved, the classified structure and the service objects are unbalanced.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of nasal colonization among health care workers(HCWs).METHODS Nasal swabs from 93 ICU workers and 98 other clinical workers were cultured and isolated and the tests of antibiotic susceptibility were performed by using paper diffusion method.RESULTS In total,214 isolates of 8 species from 191 health care workers were recovered,of which 187 isolates were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS)(the carriage rate of 93.71%) and 8 isolates were Staphylococcus aureus(the carriage rate of 4.19%).While the total Gram-negative bacteria carriage rate was 14.14%(27 isolates).The most frequent CNS species were S.epidermidis and S.haemolyticus.The antibiotic susceptibility profiles of S.aureus and CNS differed sharply: all 8 S.aureus strains were resistant to penicillin but were fully susceptible to oxacillin,in contrast,most of CNS were resistant to both penicillin and oxacillin.The carriage rate of CNS(60.2%)and Gram-negative bacteria(26.9%)in HCWs of ICU were higher than other HCWs(P

Objective To monitor ventilator-associated event (VAE) for the first time in an intensive care unit (ICU) in China,understand the applicability,incidence,and clinical significance of VAE in China.Methods Targeted monitoring on VAE was performed among patients ≥18 years and with mechanical ventilation (MV)＞2 days in the ICU of a hospital between January 2014 and September 2015,incidence of VAE was calculated,and patients were grouped according to whether or not they had VAE,prognostic factors were analyzed statistically.Results A total of 1 004 patients were monitored,the total hospital stay was 13 795 days in patients who used ventilator,307 (30.58％) cases of VAE occurred,incidence of VAE per 1 000 ventilator-days was 22.25.Univariate analysis showed that patients with VAE had longer length of ICU stay and MV,and higher mortality rate than patients without VAE when they moved out of ICU (all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that VAE was independent risk factor for length of ICU stay,duration of MV,as well as mortality when patients moved out of ICU(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Judgment of VAE is based on MV parameters,it is more objective and accurate.There is a high incidence of VAE among ICU patients,it may lead to poor clinical outcomes,and has good values for the targeted monitoring on ICU patients in large comprehensive hospitals of China.

Objective To explore strategies and measures to improve hand hygiene (HH)compliance and correctness of health care workers (HCWs)in a large hospital.Methods The WHO multimodal hand hygiene improvement strategy was adopted by healthcare-associated infection(HAI)management department of a hospital,measures consisted of five key com-ponents,including:system change,education and training,evaluation and feedback,reminders in the workplace,and insti-tutional safety climate.HH compliance and correctness of HCWs were observed by infection control practitioners,HH compliance and correctness in January-June of 2012 (pre-intervention)and January-June of 2014 (post-intervention)were compared,effectiveness of intervention strategies were evaluated.Results HH compliance rate and correctness rate of post-intervention were both higher than pre-intervention (75.92% [8 369/11 023]vs 53.67% [5 127/9 553],P <0.001;94.11%[7 782/8 269]vs 83.88%[3 642/4 342],P <0.001).Of different occupations,HH compliance rates of doctors and nurses were significantly different before and after intervention (both P <0.001),while workers and staff of other oc-cupations before and after intervention were not significantly different(both P >0.05).Except ‘after body fluid exposure’, HH compliance rates of the other four indications for HH before and after intervention were significantly different(all P <0.001).Conclusion HH compliance and correctness of HCWs can be improved after adopting WHO multimodal hand hy-giene improvement strategy.

Objective To introduce treatment of old scaphoid fractures by internal fixation with common screws which have been modified into compression-like ones.Methods Twenty-five patients with old scaphoid fracture were admitted to our department from January,1995 to December,2002.They were 17 cases of delayed union,and eight cases of non-union and pseudoarticulation formation.All the patients were treated with open re- duction anti internal fixation by modified common cortical bone screws,some threads of which bad been erased so that they could act somewhat like compression ones.The modified screws were driven into the reduced scaphoid by simple surgical instruments to fix and compress the fracture ends.Results Nineteen cases were followed up for one to six years (mean,3 years).Fourteen cases of fracture healed,with an average healing time of 7 months.The mean extension-flexion arc of the injured wrists was between 106 degrees and 128 degrees.Three cases failed to heal,and two cases experienced deformed and sunken proximal scaphoid.Conclusions Common cortical bone screws can be easily changed into compression-like ones to treat old scaphoid fractures and result in satisfactory,clinic outcome.In addition,they are easily available,can be inserted through joint facet with limited negative effect on the joint,and play a double role of compression and fixation.

Objective To understand the epidemic characteristics and regularity of influenza B virus in Guizhou Province, and provide scientific evidence for the control and prevention of influenza.Methods Results of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(PT-PCR) of influenza B virus in Guizhou Province from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2016 were statistically analyzed.Results A total of 1 904 samples were detected influenza B virus by RT-PCR, B/Yamagata (By) lineage and B/Victoria (Bv) lineage were 1 215 and 642 respectively.In April 2013-March 2014 and April 2014-March 2015, the predominant strains of influenza B were both By lineage, in April 2015-March 2016, the predominant strains of influenza B were Bv and By lineages, the epidemic peaks were in winter and spring;there's a higher positive percentage of influenza B in male, accounting for 56.83%;the highest detection rate of influenza B virus was found in population aged <15 years(70.80%),Bv and By lineages were the highest in the 0~ (42.37%) and 5~ age groups (35.56%) respectively;the main pathogen causing mixed infection was By+Bv (67.65%),mixed infection with influenza B virus accounted for 95.59%.Conclusion There are two lineages By and Bv epidemic in Guizhou Province, the epidemic peaks of influenza B are in winter and spring, male cases are higher than female, people under 15 years old are the high-risk group for influenza B, it is of great significance to strengthen the vaccination and surveillance of influenza in low age population.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and common etiology of vertigo. METHOD: The clinical data of 168 patients with vertigo in the department of otolaryngolology and neurology from December 2007 to March 2009 were retrospectively analyzed The patients were inquired and examined by pure tone average thresholds, videonystagmography, Dix-Hallpike test, cervical spine X-ray, skull CT and (or) MRI and transcranial Doppler. RESULT: One hundred and thirty-four patients with vertigo were of peripheral origin, with 66 cases benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, 30 cases Meniere's disease, 24 cases sudden deafness, 5 cases vestibular neuritis, 5 cases otitis media ,2 cases ear herpes zosters and 2 cases ototoxicity. Among 26 patients with vertigo of central, 20 patients were vertebrobasilar TIA. CONCLUSION The most common etiology of the vestibular peripheral vertigo is the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Detailed history and the features of vertigo, particular about the duration of vertigo and hearing change, may provide the important evidences for the accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis of vertigo.
