Objective To investigate the perioperative use of antimicrobial agents in class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries in secondary first-class and above medical institutions in Shanghai City,and provide a basis for the rational use of antimicrobial agents in such surgeries.Methods Perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis(PAP)in patients undergoing class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgery reported by secondary first-class and above hospitals in Shanghai City from 2017 to 2022 was collected retrospectively.The prophylactic use rate,types,rationality of selection,and timing of use of antimicrobial agents were analyzed comprehensively.Results From 2017 to 2022,a total of 54 868 cases of class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries were reported from secondary first-class and above hospitals in Shanghai City.The PAP rates in tertiary comprehensive hospitals,tertiary specialty hospitals,tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals,and secondary comprehensive hospitals were 4.72%,1.79%,3.22%,and 6.63%,re-spectively.The overall PAP rate showed a yearly decreasing trend,from 6.39%in 2017 to 2.31%in 2021.Among different types of hospitals,the PAP rate in secondary comprehensive hospitals decreased most significantly,from 12.72%in 2017 to 0.53%in 2022.The main types of prophylactic antimicrobial use were first-,second-and third-generation cephalosporins,and quinolones.The rational selection rates of antimicrobial agents were highest in ter-tiary comprehensive hospitals(17.13%)and lowest in tertiary specialty hospitals(1.08%).The PAP rates in sys-temic veins 0.5-1 hour before surgery were highest in tertiary specialty hospitals(88.17%)and lowest in tertiary comprehensive hospitals(71.53%).The withdrawal rates of antimicrobial agents within 24 hours after surgery were highest in tertiary traditional Chinese medicine hospitals(80.87%)and lowest in tertiary specialty hospitals(13.26%).Conclusion The PAP for class Ⅰ incisional ophthalmic surgeries in secondary first-class and above medical institutions in Shanghai City still presents certain irrational phenomena in terms of antimicrobial types and administration routes.The administration rate 0.5-1 hour before surgery and withdrawal rate of antimicrobial agents within 24 hours after surgery need to be further improved.Enhanced management is necessary to promote more rational use of antimicrobial agents.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of common disposable and reusable supplies for prevention and con-trol of infections in Shanghai.METHODS A survey was conducted for the use and reuse of disposable high-value consumables,disposable bronchoscopes and environmental cleaning and disinfection tools in Shanghai by using structured questionnaire.RESULTS Totally 81 medical institutions were involved in the survey,44(54.32%)of which were tertiary hospitals,and the median number of beds was 500.The orthopedic implants(70.37%),ul-trasound knife(69.14%)and endoscopic puncture instrument(66.67%)were the high-value consumables rank-ing the top 3 utilization rates.There was reuse of 18 types of high-value consumables in total among the 12 medi-cal institutions.The major causes of reuse of high-value consumables included fee less tan cost of consumables(58.33%)or being unable to included in charge items(33.33%).27.78%of the recycle high-value consumables were not treated with a dedicated disinfection and sterilization system and procedures for the disposable high-value consumables,and 33.33%did not have the report systems for related adverse reactions.49.09%of the medi-cal institutions reported to use the disposable bronchoscopes,4 of which reused them.The majority of the medi-cal institutions could carry out centralized cleaning and disinfection for the recycled floor cloths(60.81%)and cloth towels(56.76%),and 32.43%of the medical institutions reused the cloth towels by manual cleaning.The utilization rate of antiseptic wipes was 75.41%in adult intensive care unit,62.50%in neonatal intensive care unit.CONCLUSION The study reveals that there are some problems in the use of disposal and reusable supplies for prevention and control of infections,which may provide baseline data for management of the related supplies and the surveillance of disinfection of the recycled supplies so as to enhance the quality of management of hospital-asso-ciated infections.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the value of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight-mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS)in direct identification of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae positive for blood culture.METHODS The blood culture bottles that were positive for E.coli or K.pneumoniae were collected from the patients with bloodstream infection who were treated in Zhongshan Hospi-tal,Fudan University from Jul.2021 to Jun.2023.The isolates were collected by using a gel-contact clotting tube,then the tested strains were respectively mixed with 4 μg/ml of imipenem,4 μg/ml of meropenem and 2 μg/ml of ertapenem for coculture and were incubated at 35 ℃ for 4 and 5 hours,finally,the strains were i-dentified by using the mass spectrum.The minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs)of the three types of drugs were tested by microbroth dilution method and were set as the golden standards for the test.RESULTS Totally 31 strains of E.coli and 28 strains of K.pneumoniae that were positive in blood culture bottles were collected,both of the effective rates of controlled growth of the E.coli strains were 100.00%after the incuba-tion for 4 and 5 hours,and the effective rates of controlled growth of the K.pneumoniae strains were 9 6.43%and 100.00%after the incubation for 4 and hours,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the K.pneumoniae strains against the three types of drugs were 100.00%after the incubation for 5 hours.The specificity and positive predictive value of the E.coli strains against imipenem,meropenem and ertapenem were 100.00%after the incubation for 5 hours;the sensitivities were 73.58%,78.93%and 78.93%,respectively;the negative predictive values were 70.60%,75.00%and 75.00%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS MALDI-TOF MS is rapid and accurate for direct identification of the carbapenem-resistant E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains positive in blood culture bottles,and the accuracy reaches at 100.00%for the test of drug-resistant K.pneumoniae strains after the incubation for 5 hours.The method may provide evidence for clinical treatment of bloodstream infections induced by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of bloodborne occupational exposures among healthcare workers in a three-A specialized hospital of Shanghai so as to provide bases for formulating prevention measures for occupational exposures.METHODS A questionnaires titled'Survey of bloodborne occupational exposures among healthcare workers'were clinically distributed to Eye &ENT Hospital of Fudan University through'Wenjuanxing platform'from Feb.2024 to Apr.2024.The content of the questionnaire included four parts:the baseline data questionnaire,incidence of occupational exposures,awareness of knowledge about occupational exposures,and preventive behaviors regarding occupational exposures.RESULTS A total of 995 valid questionnaires were collect-ed in the survey,the result of the survey showed that the incidence of bloodborne occupational exposures was 10.65%.The clinicians and doctors engaging in advanced studies were at high risk of the occupational exposures especially when they were busy with work.The result of the survey indicated that the rate of missing report was 71.33%,the implementation rate of monitoring was only 48.11%after the exposures,of which the major cau-ses included the health care workers'insufficient attention to the exposure events,flaws in prevention and control of occupational exposures and some personnels'poor awareness of reporting process and requirements for monito-ring.Although the awareness rate of emergency processing exceeded 90%,the awareness rate of the knowledge a-bout prophylactic use of antibiotics and prevention of needlestick injuries,and the preparations before diagnosis and treatment,standardized operations and use of protective articles still needed to be improved.CONCLUSIONS The survey reveals that the health care workers pay less attention to the risk of infections,and the prevention of occupational exposure needs to be improved.It is of great importance to raise the awareness of prevention and en-hance the systematic training for occupational exposure.
