Objective To explore the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room,and analyze the causes.Methods Targeted surveillance was per-formed on patients in emergency rescue room and observation room of a tertiary first-class hospital in Xuzhou City from January 1 to December 31,2023 using prospective survey method.HAI,antimicrobial use,as well as invasive procedures and related infection rates were analyzed.Results The incidence of HAI in 540 patients was 0.19％(n=1),and the daily incidence of HAI was 0.54‰(1/1 841).The utilization rates of invasive ventilators,central ve-nous catheters,and indwelling urinary catheters were 6.79％(125/1 841),1.09％(20/1 841),and 2.93％(54/1 841),respectively.The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia,central line-associated bloodstream infec-tion,and catheter-associated urinary tract infection were 8.00‰(1/125),0(0/20),and 0(0/54),respectively.Pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial treatment was 99.22％(382/385).Conclusion The incidence of HAI in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room is low,the retention time of patients in rescue room is short,and pathogen detection of specimens before antimicrobial treatment is high.Patients in emergency rescue room and observation room are at high risk of HAI.It is necessary to carry out targeted surveillance on HAI to re-duce its incidence.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy alone in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).Methods:Firstly, retrospective case series study was conducted. Thirty cases of CSDH that had received body posture combined with pharmacotherapy at Department of Neurosurgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2016 to October 2020 were studied retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients were male, and 3 patients were female. The age of patients ( M(IQR)) was 66(16) years (range:28 to 84). Nineteen patients had unilateral hematoma, and 11 patients had bilateral hematoma. All patients received pharmacotherapy and body posture therapy that was to raise their lower limbs 20 to 30 cm with leg lift pad and get abdominal compressed with customized abdominal belt in supine position. Patients were required to maintain the body posture as much as possible, with the maximum to 16 to 18 hours per day. Patients with unilateral hematoma should tilt the head to the affected side and avoid tilting it to the opposite side. For patients with bilateral hematoma, there was no need for head lateralization. Patient were treated with oral dexamethasone and atorvastatin simultaneously. The preliminary efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy was determined by hematoma improvement rate which was analyzed by Clopper-Pearson method. Then, the multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial had carried out in 9 medical centers from August 2020 to November 2021. The stratified block randomization method was adopted. Patients were randomized in a ratio of 1∶1 to either receive pharmacotherapy alone(the control group) or body posture combined with pharmacotherapy(the experiment group) for 3 months and followed up for 6 months. Effective treatment was defined as complete absorption of hematoma, or the hematoma volume decreased by more than 10 ml and Markwalder grading scale score had improved by more than 1 point compared to the baseline. The efficacy rate and surgery conversion rate at 3 months and recurrence at 6 months were observed. Comparison between groups was performed with paired sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, corrected χ2 test, or Fisher exact probability method. Logistic regression was used to compare the effective rate and operation rate between the two groups. Results:In the respective study, 30 patients completed follow-up 13 to 353 days after treatment. At the last follow-up, the incidence of almost complete absorption or significantly absorption of hematoma (hematoma volume was significantly reduced accompanied by symptom improvement) was 93.3%. The 95% CI for the incidence that analyzed by the Clopper-Pearson method was 77.9% to 99.2%. One hundred and six patients were enrolled in the multicenter study. Fifty-five patients underwent body posture combined with pharmacotherapy. The age was 74(17) years (range:26 to 92). Thirty-nine patients were males and 16 were females. Fifty-one patients underwent pharmacotherapy alone. The age was 69(12) years (range:48 to 84). Thirty-seven patients were males and 14 were females. The length of body posture recorded in diary card was (15.7±2.3) hours(range:7.6 to 19.3 hours). The efficacy rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 83.6% (46/55) and 56.9% (29/51), respectively at 3 months. The result of the logistic regression analysis showed that the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group was better than that of pharmacotherapy alone group ( OR=3.88,95% CI:1.57 to 9.58, P=0.003). Surgery rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 5.5% (3/55) and 21.6% (11/51) respectively. The result of Logistic regression showed that the pharmacotherapy alone group was more likely to be converted to surgery ( OR=0.21,95% CI:0.05 to 0.80, P=0.023). At the 6 months, no recurrence of cases was found in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group. However, the recurrence rate of pharmacotherapy alone group was 6.3% (3/48), there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The effect of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy for chronic subdural hematoma is better than that of pharmacotherapy alone.

Objective To understand the application of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)quality control indi-cators and current status of HAI management in primary medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and provide refe-rence and basis for primary medical institutions to improve HAI management quality and for health administrative departments to formulate HAI management relevant policies.Methods Data on HAI quality control indicators co-llected by Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center from the first batch of 62 pri-mary sentinel medical institutions in the province were analyzed.Results of on-site inspections and assessments of 20 institutions were summarized and analyzed.Results From July 2023 to May 2024,a total of 145 814 inpatients were monitored,219 patients had 220 episodes of HAI.The incidence and case incidence of HAI were both 0.15％,and the main HAI site was upper respiratory tract(40.45％).The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene were 81.34％(14.29％-100％)and 87.90％(18.46％-100％),respectively.The removal rate of surface pollu-tant from environmental objects was 77.24％(20.00％-100％),and the qualified rate of cleaning of device,appli-ances,and articles was 98.76％(10.00％-100％).The monitoring data records of quality control indicators in most primary healthcare institutions during on-site inspections didn't match the monthly data reported to the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center.Most healthcare workers in primary healthcare institutions lacked sufficient awareness and knowledge in infection prevention and control.Multiple HAI-related safety hazards existed in key departments of most primary medical institutions.Conclusion After nearly a year of continuous monitoring on HAI,the primary sentinel medical institutions have established their own data on the inci-dence of HAI.The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene,as well as the removal rate of surface pollu-tants from environmental objects are still relatively low in some medical medical institutions,and there is much room for improvement.There is still a significant gap in terms of HAI prevention and control in some primary medical in-stitutions when referring to the standards.

Objective:To investigate whether escin(ESC)and dextromethorphan(DEX)have the protective effects on the progression and symptoms of Alzheimer disease(AD).Methods:The AD model of Caenorhabditis elegans(C.elegans)was established by transgenic amyloid β-protein(Aβ protein).Different concentrations of ESC or DEX or 50 μmol/L memantine(MEM)were used to treat the AD model worms,and their lifespan was detected.The movement ability of AD model C.elegans was evalua-ted by body bending frequency and head swinging frequency.The changes in cognitive functions of AD model C.elegans before and after treatment were detected by chemotaxis experiments.The changes in A βprotein and reactive oxygen species(ROS)content in C.elegans were detected.The changes in gene pathways related to oxidative stress were detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Results:At high dose 1 000 μmol/L,ESC or DEX treatment showed no significant effects on the activity of C.elegans.Compared with untreated worms,the survival time of AD model C.elegans in the 20 μmol/L ESC and 60 μmol/L DEX intervention groups was significantly extended.In the middle stage of AD progression,the body bending frequency and head swinging frequency of AD model worms after ESC or DEX treatment was significantly increased compared with the untreated control group with DEX being more effective in the recovery of head swinging frequency.For the early cognitive function tests,the chemotaxis index of ESC or DEX treated worms was significantly higher than that of the untreated worms,which correlated with marked reductions in the Aβ protein levels.The reactive oxygen species content in the drug intervention group was also lower than that in the control group.RT-qPCR results showed that ESC could inhibit oxidative stress in the AD model C.elegans by a 2-fold upregulation of skn1 expression.Conclusion:ESC and DEX could improve the reductions of movement ability and cognitive function in the AD model worms and delay the aggravation of AD-related symptoms.ESC delays the progression of AD pos-sibly by activating the SKN-1/Nrf2 pathway to protect against oxidative injury in the AD model.

The clinical data of a child with refractory systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) who was admitted to the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in October 2023 were analyzed, and literature review was conducted.The patient was a 9-year-old boy, who was admitted due to recurrent fever, accompanied by rash and joint pain for more than 4 years.Four years ago, he was diagnosed with macrophage activation syndrome and sJIA.In the past 4 years, the condition recurred 3 times under treatment with glucocorticoids, Cyclosporine, and Methotrexate.He previously experienced allergic shock after 5 minutes of infusion of Tocilizumab.Due to Tocilizumab allergy, he was treated with Janus kinase inhibitors, but the disease still recurred.After informed consent was obtained from the guardian, 240 mg of Tocilizumab was administrated for desensitization once every 2 weeks and the process went smoothly.The patient has been followed up for more than 6 months and no allergic reactions had occurred.The condition was well controlled, and the Prednisone acetate tablet had been reduced to 2.5 mg orally once a day.At present, there are 10 patients undergoing desensitization treatment both domestically and internationally, including 2 males and 8 females, aged between 2.5 and 54.0 years.All of them have achieved a success in desensitization.Therefore, Tocilizumab desensitization therapy is of great significance for patients who are allergic to biologics in clinical practice.
