Objective:Along with general hospital assessment opportunity, we explore to optimize ventilator management processes to reduce security risks by using the advanced quality management tools. Methods:Based on the ventilator maintenance statistical data in year 2012, we applied Pareto chart, Pareto curves and fishbone diagrams etc. quality management tools, and conducted PDCA cycle analysis on safety factors of ventilator clinical application. At the end, we summarized the results and provide improvements recommendations. Results:The cumulative proportions fell from 23.6%to 80%range, the human operator, compressor inlet;pipeline leaks and consumables management are a major are major factors. Through fishbone diagram analysis, we categorized them into 4 aspects:personnel, operations, equipment and supplies management. We optimized existing systems and processes from three areas:the device management, supplies management and training. By implementing these improvements plans, the security risk caused by supplies management was basically solved, the effect is very obvious. Conclusion:By using quality management tools, the safety problems during clinical application of ventilator can be reflected directly and clearly, and protect ventilator safe and stability to next level, so that it helps medical equipment management be more scientific, effective and normative.

Objective To investigate the effects of Inula Britannica on myocardial caspase-3 and cytochrome c ( cyt c) following overtraining-induced acute myocardial injury in rats.Methods Forty-eight male Wistar rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into 3 groups:group control (group C,n =8) ; group exhausting swim (group E,n =24) and group Inula Britannica (group IB,n =16).The animal model of overtraining-indnced acute myocardial injury was developed by exhausting swim.The animals were forced to swim until they were exhausted.The animals sank to the bottom and no righting reflex or escape response was elicited when they were taken out of water in groups E and IB.In group IB oral Inula Britannica 25 ml/kg was given 24 h and immediately before overtraining.Blood samples were taken from inferior vena cava immediately and at 6,24 h after overtraining in group E and at 6,24 h after overtraining in group IB for determination of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration (by ELISA).The animals were sacrificed after blood sampling and myocardial specimens were obtained for microscopic examination and determination of caspase-3 and cyt c expression (by immuno-histochemistry).Results Overtraining significantly increased serum cTnI concentration and up-regulated myocardial caspase-3 and cyt c expression in group E as compared with group C.Oral Inula Britannica significantly attenuated overtraining-induced increase in serum cTnI concentration and myocardial caspase-3 and cyt c expression in group IB as compared with group E.Conclusion Inula Britannica can reduce overtraining-induced acute myocardial injury by down-regulating caspase-3 and cyt c expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of gestrinone on growth and apoptosis, as well as the expression of phosphatase and tension homologue deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN) in isolated ectopic endometrium cells in vitro and the underlying mechanisms. Methods Ectopic endometrium cells were cultured and exposed to gestrinone of different doses of 0, 10 -6 and 10 -4 mol/L respectively. The inhibition of the cells during 48 hours was determined by methylthiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the cell growth curve was made. Gestrinone was administered to the cells and at 24 hours the morphological changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy and the apoptosis rate, cell cycle and PTEN expression were monitored by flow cytometry (FCM) at the same time. Results Gestrinone at different concentrations could inhibit the growth and proliferation of ectopic endometrium cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The inhibition rate of cell growth after exposed to gestrinone for 8,16,24,32,40 and 48 h was 99.6%,87.3%,79.8%,62.3%,51.7% and 44.2% in the 10 -6 mol/L group,and 99.2%,77.1%,69.6%,51.1%,33.7% and 23.6% in the 10 -4 mol/L group (P
