Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of carbapenem antimicrobial management programs (ASP). Methods 671 patients who were discharged from the emergency department of the hospital from January 2017 to April 2018 were enrolled. These patients were subject to before-and-after self-control studies, using such intervention measures as MDT proactive management-feedback-training. January-September of 2017 was set as the pre-intervention stage, and September 2017-April 2018 as the post-intervention stage. The two stages were compared in such indicators as the monthly antibacterial use, quality of care and hospital acquired infection. Results Thanks to the ASP measure against antibiotics like carbapenems, the use rate of carbapenems at the emergency department ward fell from 36.7% to 18.6% , the defined drug doses (DDDs) of carbapenems fell from 211.92 to 82.22, and the antibiotics use density (AUD) of carbapenems fell from 29. 18 DDDs/100 day/patient to 11. 56. The pathogen detected rate increased significantly (0.61 ± 0.08 versus 0.78 ± 0.16), with a difference of statistical significance (P=0.020). On the other hand, the mean days of stay, average cost per hospitalization, proportion of antibiotics use, incidence of hospital acquired infections, and the infection/colonization rate of carbapenem-resistant organisms ( CROs ) present no significant changes. There was a moderate positive correlation between carbapenem DDDs and mean days of stay ( P=0.034), and also a moderate positive correlation between hospital acquired infection incidence and CROs infection/colonization rate ( r = 0.545, P = 0.029 ). Conclusions The carbapenem ASP at the hospital proves safe and effective. CROs infection/colonization may be the cause of hospital acquired infection. Prevention and control against multi-drug resistant bacteria on the basis of ASP may add to the effect of ASP.

Objective:To explore the effect of health belief model in tumor patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) .Methods:From January 2020 to June 2021, 95 tumor patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine were selected by convenient sampling. The patients admitted from January to September 2020 were in the control group (47 cases), and the patients admitted from October 2020 to June 2021 were in the intervention group (48 cases). The control group was given routine catheter nursing, and the intervention group was given health belief model-based intervention.We compared the health cognition, compliance behavior and exercise behavior of the two groups of patients, and explored the transfer effect of compliance behavior and exercise behavior.Results:One month after the intervention, the health cognition, compliance behavior score and exercise behavior index in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). There was a transfer effect from compliance behavior to exercise behavior. The non-normed fit index ( NNFI), comparative fit index ( CFI), goodness-of-fit index ( GFI) were all greater than 0.9, and root mean square error of approximation ( RMSEA) was less than 0.06. Conclusions:Health belief model-based intervention can improve the health knowledge and rehabilitation exercise behavior of tumor patients with PICC. Compliance behavior has a transfer effect on exercise behavior, which can achieve the dual effect of promoting the change of health behavior.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of carbon nanoparticles mapping lymph nodes in curative resection for colorectal carcinoma.Methods:Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer before operation and undergoing radical surgery with intact postoperative pathological data in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from March 2016 to March 2018 were included in this retrospective case-control study. Those who were diagnosed with ileus, recurrent carcinoma or underwent emergency operation were excluded. A total of 1421 cases were included, with 156 cases in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group and 1265 cases in the control group. Using 1∶3 case control matching based on gender, weight, TNM staging and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 145 and 435 cases were finally recruited in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group and control group, respectively. Patients in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group underwent preoperative colonoscopy with carbon nanoparticles submucosal injection 2.4 (1.0 - 14.0) days before operation. Carbon nanoparticles of 0.25 ml was injected at 4 points (3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock each) 0.5-1.0 cm around the tumor. The number of eliminated lymph node, number of positive lymph node and positive rate between the two groups were compared, and the number of eliminated lymph node in different subgroups of T stage, N stage, TNM stage and neoadjuvant chemotherapy was analyzed and compared.Results:After case control matching, total number of eliminated lymph nodes in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group was significantly higher than that in the control group (22.2±11.2 vs. 19.0±9.5, t=3.025, P=0.003). However, no statistically significant differences were found in the number of positive lymph node and lymph node positive rate between two groups (all P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that as compared to the control group, total number of eliminated lymph nodes in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group was significantly higher in T3 stage subgroup (median: 22 vs. 18, Z=2.435, P=0.015), N0 stage subgroup (median: 20.5 vs. 17.5, Z=2.772, P=0.006), TNM II stage subgroup (median: 23.5 vs. 19.0, Z=2.654, P=0.008) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (median: 22.5 vs. 13.0, Z=3.287, P=0.001), while compared to the control group, the number of positive lymph node (median: 4.0 vs. 6.5, Z=-2.530, P=0.011) and the lymph node metastasis degree (median: 16% vs. 31%, Z=-2.862, P=0.004) were lower in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group in N2 subgroup. Conclusion:Carbon nanoparticles mapping lymph nodes can effectively enhance the number of eliminated lymph nodes in curative resection for colorectal cancer.
