Objective To realize the status in the implementation of three industry standards of central sterile sup-ply department (CSSD),and provide a scientific basis for carrying out of the standards. Methods According to three standards,investigation forms were designed by specialists,written survey on 365 hospitals in 9 provinces and field investigation on 1 5 hospitals in 3 provinces were performed,the implementation of three standards were investi-gated.Results Of 365 hospitals,the number of provincial and ministerial level,municipal level,and county level hospitals were 90,87 and 188 respectively. More than 94% of hospitals established CSSD management system and regulations,>90% of hospitals met the requirements of CSSD layout;All hospitals were equipped with pressure steam sterilizer,all levels of hospitals basically equipped with the necessary equipments and facilities;CSSD respon-sible officers of 94.52% (345/365)of hospitals participated in training on standards;69.61% (252/362)of hospi-tals were using or developing CSSD information systems;>92% of the CSSD responsible officers considered that three standards played an important role in facilitating centralized management,and improving the quality of clean-ing,disinfection and sterilization.Conclusion Hospitals need to strengthen the management and training on stand-ards of CSSD,management of loaner instruments and development of information system need to be standardized.

Objective To evaluate the effect on schistosomiasis control by implementing the synthetic measures with emphasis on infection source control.Methods Ten higher endemic villages in 10 counties were chosen to implement the measures of " replacing cattle with machines", "rearing domestic animals in pens", "safely treating night-soil or building methane-generating pits".In these villages, all cattle should be eliminated, other livestock be reared in pens, and all households be supplied with sanitary lavatories that could safely treat night-soil, or with methane-generating pits, and safe water. Results After 1 year of implementing the project, the number of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs in 10 villages reduced by 92.7%,70.8%,14.3% and 20.2%, respectively, 76.0% of households had sanitary lavatories or methane-generating pits, 75.9% of households had safe water supply, all the remaining pigs were reared in pens, and the schistosome infection rate of residents reduced by 75.8%, the infection rate of cattle reduced by 79.8%, the density of infected snails reduced by 75.0% and the infection rate of snails reduced by 60.0%, respectively. Conclusion The synthetic measures with emphasis on infection source control are effective in schistosomiasis control.

Objective To investigate the application of modified negative pressure closure drainage in early stage of snakebite .Methods 60 patients with early bite ulcer were selected as study objects ,and they were randomly divided into two groups according to the digital table .30 patients in the observation group received vacuum sealing drainage(VSD) combined with chymotrypsin continuous rinsing treatment .30 patients in the control group were given conventional dressing bandaging treatment .The two stage skin grafting time,wound healing time,complications,disa-bility rate,hospitalization time and C reactive protein ( CRP) levels of the two groups were observed .And the treatment effect was analyzed .Results The incidence rates of complications and disability in the observation group were 0.00%and 3.33%,respectively,which were significantly lower than 16.67%and 26.67%in the control group ,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (χ2 =4.356,6.405,all P<0.05).The CRP levels of 3 d and 7 d in the observation group were (15.8 ±1.7)mg/L,(6.9 ±1.6)mg/L,respectively,which in the control group were (18.6 ±2.3) mg/L,(13.8 ±1.9) mg/L,respectively,there were statistically significant differences between two groups(t=5.362,15.214,all P<0.01).The two stage skin grafting,wound healing,hospital stay of the observation group were (9.5 ±1.8) d,(24 ±1.8) d,(25.3 ±1.9) d,respectively,which were significantly shorter than those of the control group [(16.2 ±2.6)d,(32.0 ±3.2)d,(33.2 ±3.7)d],the differences were statistically significant(t=11.604,11.93410.403,all P<0.01).Conclusion For patients with injury of cobra bite to early ulcer,using VSD technology combined with chymotrypsin continuous irrigation ,can significantly reduce the level of CRP and the occurrence of complications and disability rate ,shorten the time of two stage skin grafting ,wound healing time,hospitalization time,reduce the pain of patients,it is the best treatment to accelerate recovery .

OBJECTIVE:
Identifying novel strategies to prevent particulate matter (PM)-induced lung injury is crucial for the reduction of the morbidity of chronic respiratory diseases. The combined intervention represented by herbal formulae for simultaneously targeting multiple pathological processes can provide a more beneficial effect than the single intervention. The aim of this paper is therefore to design a safe and effective medicinal and edible Chinese herbs (MECHs) formula against PM-induced lung injury.
METHODS:
PM-induced oxidative stress, inflammatory response and apoptosis A549 cell model were used to screen anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic MECHs, respectively. A network pharmacology method was utilized to rationally design a novel herbal formula. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer was utilized to assess the quality control of MECHs formula. The excretion of magnetic iron oxide nanospheres of the MECHs formula was estimated in zebrafish. The MECH formula against PM-induced lung injury was investigated with mice experiments.
RESULTS:
Five selected herbs were rationally designed to form a new MECH formula, including Citri Exocarpium Rubrum (Juhong), Lablab Semen Album (Baibiandou), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Mori Folium (Sangye) and Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma (Yuzhu). The formula effectively promoted the magnetic iron oxide nanospheres excretion in zebrafish. The mid/high dose formula significantly prevented PM-induced lung damage in mice by enhancing the activity of SOD and GSH-Px, reducing the MDA and ROS level and attenuating the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β and TNF-α), down regulating the protein expression of NF-κB, STAT3 and Caspase-3.
CONCLUSION
Our findings suggest that the effective MECHs formula will become a novel strategy for preventing PM-induced lung injury and provide a paradigm for the development of functional foods using MECHs.
