Objective To construct the training program for the digital and intelligent capabilities of specialized nurses in the Central Sterile Supply Department(CSSD),and conduct preliminary practice to provide talent support for the intelligent development of CSSD.Methods From February to April 2024,based on the core technologies of digital intelligence and related core capabilities,a training program for digital intelligence-related competencies of CSSD specialized nurses was constructed using literature review and the Delphi expert consultation method.From July to August 2024,the program was initially implemented in the training of CSSD specialized nurses.The nurses'information competency before and after the training was compared,and the nurses' satisfaction with the digital intelligence-related training program was assessed.Results This study conducted 2 rounds of expert consultation via questionnaire.The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires in both rounds was 100％.The expert authority coefficients were 0.790 and 0.800,respectively,and the variation coefficients ranged from 0 to 0.229 and 0 to 0.105.Ultimately,a training program for the digital-related competencies of CSSD specialty nurses was established,which includes 4 components:training objectives,training content,training methods,and assessment methods.Specifically,there were 3 indicators at the first level and 14 at the second level for training objectives,6 indicators at the first level and 32 at the second level for training content,and 6 indicators at the first level for training methods and assessment methods.After the implementation of the training program,the information competency of the nurses in all dimensions and the total score were significantly higher than those before training(P＜0.05).Moreover,the average scores for the training content,training methods,and assessment methods were all above 3 points,indicating a high overall satisfaction among the nurses.Conclusion The construction process of the training program for the digital and intelligent capabilities of CSSD specialty nurses is scientific and reliable.The content is highly practical and distinctive in its specialty.The training methods and assessment approaches are diverse.This program can enhance nurses' information competency and provide a reference for the implementation of digital and intelligent training for CSSD specialty nurses.

Objective To investigate the current status of cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization management of dental instruments in medical institutions in Henan Province,analyze potential issues in hospital infection control,and propose targeted nursing strategies.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to survey the cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization management of dental instruments in 352 medical institutions in Henan Province from February to April 2024.A self-made questionnaire was designed,covering aspects such as the handling model and personnel configuration for dental instruments,training for cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization personnel,configuration and maintenance of cleaning and disinfection equipment,use and management of small pressure steam sterilizers,and reprocessing status of dental instruments.Results A total of 352 questionnaires were distributed,with 348 valid responses.Among the 34 primary medical institutions,only 10(29.41％)had a centralized cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization model for dental instruments;13(38.24％)had dedicated personnel for cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization of dental instruments;25(73.53％)were equipped with pressure water guns.Compari-sons among medical institutions of different levels showed statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).In the 348 medical institutions,194(55.75％)arranged pre-job training for nursing personnel;143(41.09％)performed mainte-nance on cleaning and disinfection equipment once a year;52(14.94％)did not perform pre-treatment on contaminated dental instruments after use.Among the 104 institutions using small pressure steam sterilizers,21(20.19％)used Type N small pressure steam sterilizers.Conclusion The centralized management rate of dental instruments and the basic equipment configuration rate in primary medical institutions in Henan Province are relatively low.There are issues such as insufficient personnel training,neglect of equipment maintenance,improper management of small pressure steam sterilizer usage,and incomplete reprocessing procedures in medical institutions at all levels.It is recommended that nursing managers further strengthen the training of nurses in the disinfection supply center,standardize the cleaning,disinfection,and sterilization workflow for dental instruments,in order to prevent and control hospital infections.

AIM:To investigate the effects of macrophage galactose-type lectin 1(Mgl1)gene deletion on he-matopoietic stem/progenitor cells(HSPCs)under steady-state conditions and inflammation.METHODS:Mice were di-vided into a control group(wild-type)and an experimental group(Mgl1 gene-deleted).Flow cytometry was used to ana-lyze the proportions of various hematopoietic cell lineages in the peripheral blood and bone marrow of both groups,assess-ing the impact of Mgl1 gene deletion on steady-state hematopoiesis(n=3～4).Transplantation and colony-forming assays were utilized to evaluate the effects of Mgl1 gene deletion onthe repopulation capacity and colony-forming ability of HSPCs(n=5).The LPS-induced inflammation model was employed to examine the effects of Mgl1 gene deletion on the inflamma-tory response of HSPCs both in vitro and in vivo(n=5～8).Western blot and RT-qPCR were conducted to analyze the alter-ations in signaling pathways regulated by Mgl1 in the inflammatory response of HSPCs(n=3).RESULTS:(1)Mgl1 gene deletion had no significant effecton steady-state hematopoiesis(P>0.05).(2)Mgl1 gene deletion promoted inflam-mation-induced cell differentiation of HSPCs(P<0.01).(3)Mgl1 gene deletion accelerated the exhaustion of HSPCs un-der prolonged inflammatory conditions(P<0.01).(4)Mgl1 was found to regulate the inflammatory response of HSPCs via the NF-κB signaling pathway.CONCLUSION:Mgl1 gene deletion enhances the inflammatory response of HSPCs via the NF-κB signaling pathway.
