Chinese Journal of Infection Control 2014;(6):345-348
Objective To investigate the changing trends in 4 continuous point prevalence surveys of healthcare-as-sociated infection(HAI)in a hospital. Methods The occurrence of HAI among all hospitalized patients were inves-tigated on a given day from 0:00 to 24:00 in May,2006,2008,2010,and 2012 respectively.Results A total of 4 497 patients should be investigated,4 387 (97.55% )patients were actually investigated;184 patients developed 209 times of HAI,point prevalence rate of HAI was 4.19% ,case prevalence rate was 4.76% . Trendχ2 test showed that HAI prevalence rate decreased gradually from 5.56% in 2006 to 2.76% in 2012(χ2= 14.07,P<0.001).The main infection site was lower respiratory tract (55.03% ),followed by urinary tract(14.83% )and upper respiratory tract(9.57% ).The overall usage rate of antimicrobial agents was 38.50% . Trendχ2 test showed that usage rate of antimicrobial agents decreased gradually from 2006 to 2012(χ2= 5.13,P= 0.023);pathogenic detection rate in pa-tients receiving therapeutic and therapeutic plus prophylactic antimicrobial use increased gradually(χ2= 40.81 ,P<0.001);single use of antimicrobial agents increased gradually(χ2= 23.86,P<0.001). The rate of arteriovenous in-tubation ,urinary catheterization ,respirator use,and venous intubation in patients with HAI was significantly higher than those without HAI (27.17% vs 9.80% ,35.33% vs 11.54% ,13.59% vs 4.33% ,84.78% vs 63.24%respectively ,all P<0.001). Conclusion Management of rational use of antimicrobial agents has been achieved re-markably,control of HAI improved continuously;but control of invasive procedure-associated infection need to be intensified,management of rational use of antimicrobial agents should be paid much attention.
2.Study on relationship between hepatitis B virus genotypes and drug resistance mutation
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2015;(13):1905-1907
Objective To explore correlations between hepatitis B virus (HBV)genotyping,other clinical information and drug resistance mutations.Methods 358 cases of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)were selected as subjects,and the resistance loci and genotypes were detected by using the polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-reverse dot blot technique.Clinical data,such as ser-um HBV DNA loads,serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and hepatitis B virus e antigen(HBeAg),gender,age and length of nucleoside analogues use were collected.Results All samples were successfully amplified positive band.Type B(267 ca-ses)was the main HBV genotype,followed by type C(81 cases)and type D(10 cases).In the 31 1 cases of patients taking nucleoside analogues,269 cases were completely wild type.No drug resistance mutation was found in 47 cases of patients not taking medicine. The drug resistance mutations mainly occured in 204 and 180/204 site.There was no significant correlation between resistance mu-tations and gender,age,serum HBV DNA loads,genotype,serum levels of ALT and HBeAg(P >0.05).While the medication time was longer,the incidence of resistant mutants was greater(P <0.05).The 180 mutation had a certain correlation with 204 site mu-tation(P <0.05).Conclusion PCR-reverse dot blot technology can effectively detect the HBV genotype and mutations,which could effectively guide the clinical medication.
3.Translational research on oral cancer:the current status and con-templation
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;42(16):783-786
China has the largest human biological and pathological tissue resource in terms of both quantity and diversity, whichis true for oral cancer as well. However, this unique and valuable resource did not yield expected results in clinical translational research.On one side, clinicians lack experience in identification of research topics, even with plenty of clinical specimens. On the otherside, researchers consider high impact publications as the top priority instead of clinical significance. The disalignment of the interestsbetween these two sides led to inefficient and inadequate communications and collaborations. To change the current situation, we needto encourage clinicians to raise questions and generate research topics from clinical practice and to actively participate in translationalresearch. Meanwhile, researchers need to understand basics of clinical medicine and design research projects with a focus on clinicalproblems. Closer collaborations between clinicians and researchers will help to identify new biomarkers of clinical significance throughsystematic clinical studies, which have the potential to translate into practical knowledge in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases.We can further evaluate and validate these translational results systematically by large-scale random clinical trials.
4.Aneurysm of the levels of Fisher in patients with subarachnoid hematocele and the influence degree of cerebral vasospasm
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(11):1733-1736
Objective To investigate closure of different Fisher grade patients with subarachnoid product volume and the degree of cerebral vasospasm aneurysm clipping.Methods Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were selected from January 2014 to January 2015,including 20 patients with grade Ⅰ,25 patients with grade Ⅱ,and 15 patients with grade Ⅲ.They were divided into 20 patients with aneurysmal SAH(A group),18 patients without aneurysmal SAH (B group) and C group(22 cases).The operation effect was compared.Results C group as the standard,CT preoperative diagnosis had no statistically significant difference among A,B,C group (x2 =0.12,P >0.05).After treatment,the cerebral spasticity scores of A,B group were significantly decreased,and the level-Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients decreased more significantly compared with stage Ⅲ patients,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(x2 =7.05,P < 0.05).In group C,the blood flow velocity at the 7th and 13rd day significantly increased (x2 =7.05,P < 0.05),and velocity of blood flow in group A and B Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients was significantly higher than that of grade Ⅲ patients (t =8.75,P < 0.05).Conclusion For the patients with Fisher grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ,the increase in the volume of subarachnoid hemorrhage,cerebral vasospasm,and the effect of the patients with Ⅲ were more obvious.

7.International experience and reference on NGOs and global health
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2016;9(11):1-4
The international Non-governmental Organizations ( NGOs) have been playing an important role in the field of global health, which also represents a channel for countries' international experience. This research fo-cuses on the role of NGOs in global health, their governance tools, global health program management experience, and current status of development for Chinese NGOs. In light of international experiences, we suggest the Chinese government to support a few top NGOs to engage intensely in global health, build management and cooperation mechanism with NGO which will be considered as important complemertary role. The Chinese government shonld implement “major support and comprehensive improvement” strategy.
8.The Current Situation and Progress of Minimally Invasive Integrated Coronary Revascularization
Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2017;17(1):76-79
[Summary] Minimally invasive hybrid coronary revascularization ( MIHCR) represents a minimally invasive revascularization strategy that combines coronary artery bypass graft ( CABG) surgery with percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) .Although MIHCR is better than coronary artery bypass graft surgery in theory , there is no useful randomized controlled trial to prove the advantage of MIHCR in recent medical papers .In this paper , we reviewed different aspects of MIHCR , such as basic definitions , basic rationale , indications , operation selection and current problems .
9.Dietary cholesterol and risk of cardiovascular diseases
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2017;11(2):183-188
Cholesterol is an essential nutrient for human body.Dietary cholesterol comes from animal sources,including eggs,pork and others.A number of epidemiological and experimental studies showed that too much intake of cholesterol or consumption of more than 1 egg per day would slightly elevate blood cholesterol level.Results of studies in different areas and populations suggested that there is a lack of sufficient evidence to support the association between cholesterol intakes or egg consumption and cardiovascular disease incidence or deaths.
