Objective:To evaluate the effect of a hand hygiene culture program on hand hygiene compliance in a three grade A hospital .Methods:Direct observation methods were used to assess the hand hygiene compliance and hand hygiene quality .Results:After the hand hygiene culture program , the hand hygiene compliance rate and the hand hygiene accuracy rate of doctors raised from 30 .2%and 66 .7%to 65 .3%and 85 .8%.Those of the nur-ses raised from 52.2%and 80.0%to 87.6%and 93.3%.Conclusion:The hand hygiene program increased the hand hygiene compliance and reducing thd risk of hospital infection occurred .

An innovative on-site real-time avian influenza virus(AIV)detection method was estab-lished by integratingrecombinase-aided amplification(RAA)with the clustered regularly inter-spaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein(Cas)system.After analy-zing 120 sequences of the M gene of avian influenza viruses of different subtypes publicly available on NCBI,the RAA primers and crRNA were designed based on the identified highly conserved segment and used for RAA nucleic acid amplification.After the amplified products were transferred to a CRISPR/Cas13a detection system,the fluorescence values were monitored throughout the re-action process to indicate the results.The sensitivity and specificity of the RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a method were validated using gradient dilutions(106-100 copies/μL)of positive plasmids and sev-en other avian viruses.Fifty clinical samples were tested using this method and compared with the national standard fluorescence RT-PCR method.The results indicated that the detection limit for RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a method was 102 copies/μL,a two-fold improvement over the standard RAA.Specificity assay showed the established method only detected AIV with no cross-reactivity with other seven avian viruses.Compared to the national standard fluorescence RT-PCR method,this method exhibited 100%specificity,95.24%accuracy,and 98.00%consistency in detection of clinical samples.In conclusion,a universal and rapid RAA-CRISPR/Cas13a for detection of AIV was established with the capacity of achieving detection within 60 minutes at 37 ℃,which provides a rapid,sensitive,and specific on-site detection method for AIV.
