Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2006;0(07):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the status and countermeasures of the clinical nurse injuries caused by sharp instruments.METHODS The related data of the 76 cases reported for clinical nurses stab injury by applying our hospital "Medical Sharp Instruments Injury Registration Form" were analyzed.RESULTS The kinds of sharp instruments inducing sharps instrument injured in 76 cases were scalp puncture(43.4%),various syringe needles(28.9%),glass(14.5%),suture needles(5.3%)and others(7.9%);the main causes of sharp injuries were the post-operation processing(34.2%),opening the ampoules with the fingers and thumb(14.5%),capping needles(13.1%)and withdrawal of the needles(9.2%);57.9% of the sharp instrument injuries were stabbed by blood contaminated needles.Among them,23 cases(30.3%)stabbed due to the patients with the blood borne infectous diseases such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C.And 89.5% among them were without wearing gloves.Only 10 injured nurses of the 22 cases were injected hepatitis B immunoglobulin.CONCLUSIONS The important measures to reduce the clinical sharp instrument injuries are:to strengthen the "standard precautions" idea,raise awareness of occupational protection and performance standards,and strengthen the monitoring and management of the sharp injuries.

Objective To evaluate the functional and aesthetic disturbance of patients treated with lingual orthodontic surgery and to investigate the key points of laboratory procedure and clinical treatment of lingual orthodontic deformity. Methods A total of 30 cases of Angle class Ⅰ with moder-ate crowding were selected. They were equally divided into two groups: one group was treated using lingual brackets, and the other using conventional labial brackets. Each patient completed a four-part survey right after the bracket placing and 7, 28, 56 days after the treatment. The differences of tongue-lip-cheek soreness, eating and speech difficulties and aesthetic problems were evaluated be-tween two groups. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed at the start of the treatment and the end of the overall treatment. Results Speech difficulties of lingual orthodontics were significantly greater (P<0.01) than that in the labial orthodontics group in the first week of the treatment. Eating difficulties were greater (P<0.01) in the lingual orthodontics group by 28 days, whereas aesthetic problems were greater in group using labial appliance than group lingual appliance. Conclusions In the first two months of the orthodontic treatment, eating and speech difficulties are the most severe problems for the lingual group. Lingual orthodontics offers important aesthetic advantages over labial orthodontics, and it will be one of the development directions of current orthodontics.

Objective:
To establish a microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay for simultaneous determination of multiple elements in placenta.
Methods:
Fresh placental tissues were dried at 60 ℃ for 15 h and ground into power. Then, 0.3 g homogenized samples were digested in a microwave digestion system. The interference from mass spectrometry was removed using the kinetic energy discrimination model in the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and the baseline interference was removed by online internal standards. The contents of 17 elements were determined in placental specimens using the established microwave digestion -inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assay, including V, Ni, Co, Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, As, Sn, Sb, Ba, Se, Cd, Pb, Hg and Tl.
Results:
Good linearity was shown for V, Ni, Co, Cr, As, Se, Cd, Pb and Tl at 1 to 50 µg/L, Fe at 100 to 5 000 µg/L, Zn, Cu, Mn and Ba at 10 to 500 µg/L, Sn and Sb at 0.1 to 5 µg/L, and Hg at 0.2 to 2 µg/L, with all correlation coefficients of 0.999 8 and higher. The detection limits of these 17 elements ranged from 0.5 to 100 μg/kg, with relative standard deviations of 2.1% to 6.5%, and recovery rates of 83.3% to 110.0%. The determination results of 17 elements were all within the normal reference range defined in the certified reference materials of chicken (GBW10018).
Conclusions
The microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry established based on optimized pretreatments and mass spectrometry detection conditions, is feasible for simultaneous determination of multiple elements in placenta.

Objective:To summarize our clinical experience of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN), and to discuss its efficacy and safety. Methods:Between December 2007 and October 2008, 6 patients with small exophytie renal masses underwent intraperitoneal robotic partial nephrectomy utilizing the Da Vinci sur-gical system. The perioperative data were collected, and were compared with those performed the same operation in abroad and those performed laparoseopic partial nephrectomy(LPN) with the same team in internal. Results: All the operations were accomplished successfully except the one which required conversion to open nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) due to bleeding occured after the renal artery had been clamped. The mean lesion diameter was 3.2 (2.2-3.6)cm; the mean operative time (not including preoperative set-up time of the Da Vinci surgical system) was 130 (110-160) minutes; the mean warm ischemia time were 40(33-50)minutes; the mean estimated blood loss was 188 (100-380) ml. The patients were ambulant in the 7th postoperative days, and tubes were removaled in 3 days, and mean hospital stay was 9 (8-12)days. Renal function of all patients was in the normal range. Pathology revealed renal cell carcinoma in five, papillary renal cell carcinoma in one. All resection margins were negative. Follow-up ranged from 4 to t5 months, no local residual lesions, local recurrence, incision implantation and dis-tant metastasis were found in all patients. Conclusions.. Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy can be safe-ly performed in selected patients, and it is a feasible approach and a minimally invasive operation for small renal tumors.
