		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the current status and influencing factors of hand hygiene practices among primary healthcare workers, and to provide a reference for improving hand hygiene behavior in primary healthcare institutions. MethodsA self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct a survey among medical staff of seven community health service centers in Jiading District, Shanghai, using a cluster random sampling method. The data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics, reliability and validity tests, correlation analysis, and structural equation model fitting. ResultsA statistical difference in hand hygiene compliance was found among medical staff with varying occupational types and educational levels (P<0.05), and medical staff in clinical departments exhibited higher levels of hand hygiene compliance (P<0.05). In the health belief model, among the core variables, healthcare workers’ perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy had a direct impact on hand hygiene behavior, with direct effect values of 0.341, -0.152, and 0.234, respectively. Meanwhile, cues to action and perceived severity of COVID-19 infection indirectly affected hand hygiene behavior, with an indirect effect value of 0.066 and 0.062, respectively. ConclusionHealthcare workers generally exhibit a high degree of hand hygiene compliance, but there are variations in hand hygiene scores among healthcare workers with different characteristics. Enhancing healthcare worders’ perception of benefits, action cues, and self-efficacy while reducing perceived barriers can effectively improve their hand hygiene behavior.

		                        			ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and trends of influenza‑like illness (ILI) in Jiading District from 2013 to 2023, to explore the prevalence patterns, so as to provide a scientific basis for a better prevention and control of influenza. MethodsData of ILI cases, pathogenetic surveillance results and pathogen detection data from influenza surveillance network laboratories in Jiading District from 2013 to 2023 were collected for statistical analysis. ResultsFrom 2013 to 2023, the overall proportion of medical visits for ILI cases in Jiading District was 2.70%. ILI cases were mainly distributed in the age group of ≥25 years, with a seasonal prevalence characteristic, mainly concentrated in the winter and spring, with an occasional small peak in the summer. A total of 12 423 specimens were tested for pathogenetic surveillance and monitoring, 3 651 of which were tested positive for nucleic acid detection, with a positive rate of 29.39%. The dominant strain was influenza A (H3N2) virus, accounting for 55.05%. There were statistical significant differences in the positive detection rates by different streets and townships(χ2=24.73,P<0.05). The influenza network laboratory isolated and cultured influenza viruses from 3 154 nucleic acid‑positive samples sent by national influenza sentinel surveillance hospitals using 2 methodsMadin‑Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and specific pathogen free (SPF) chicken embryos, respectively, with a total isolation rate of 39.51%, and the isolation rate of MDCK cells (35.45%) was higher than that of SPF chicken embryos (5.36%). From 2013 to 2023, a total of 14 ILI outbreaks were reported in Jiading District, mainly in primary schools, kindergartens and secondary schools. ConclusionInfluenza in Jiading District, Shanghai, is mainly prevalent in the winter and spring, with different subtypes of influenza viruses alternating or co⁃circulating in different monitoring year. It is recommended to promote influenza vaccination, further improve influenza prevention and control measures, enhance health promotion to the age group of ≥25 years in winter and spring, and strengthen surveillance and monitoring on ILI outbreaks in collective units such as primary schools and childcare institutions, so as to reduce the disease burden.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus in a hospital in Jiading District, Shanghai, and to determine the enterotoxin gene profiles of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from patients and environment. MethodsSpecimens were collected from environment and patients from a hospital for Staphylococcus aureus isolation and identification. Furthermore, enterotoxin genes (SEA‒SEE) of Staphylococcus aureus were detected. ResultsA total of 54 Staphylococcus aureus strains were isolated from 780 hospital environmental specimens from 2018 to 2021, with a prevalence of 6.92%. In the armrests in the wards, patient’s pillows/quilts, and bedside cupboards, the prevalence was determined to be 20.00%, 20.00% and 16.67%, respectively. In contrast, in the computer’s mouse and keyboard and work clothes of physicians and nurses, the prevalence was 17.42% and 16.67%, respectively. Meanwhile, from 2018 to 2021, a total of 75 strains were collected from patients, of which 36.00%, 14.67% and 14.67% were from the departments of intensive care medicine (ICU), neurosurgery and orthopedics, respectively. The prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin genes were 48.15% and 61.33% in the environment and patients, respectively. Furthermore, the prevalence of SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, and SEE genes were 14.67%, 41.33%, 9.33%, 1.33%, 1.33% in patients, respectively , whereas 20.37%, 25.93%, 1.85 %, 1.85% and 0% in environmental specimens, respectively. In the environmental specimens isolated from comprehensive ICU, the prevalence of enterotoxin genes was 77.27%. In the patient's specimens, Staphylococcus aureus was mostly isolated in sputum. Additionally, the prevalence of enterotoxin genes was high in the patients of departments of respiratory medicine, ICU, and orthopedics. ConclusionPrevalence of Staphylococcus aureus remains moderate in the hospital environment. Enterotoxin genes of Staphylococcus aureus are common, with seb gene as the most common gene, followed by SEA gene. It warrants strengthening the disinfection and control of Staphylococcus aureus in the hospital, especially in the ICU.

		                        			Objective To investigate the role of clinical pharmacists in identifying adverse drug reactions (ADR), to draw clinical attention to the possibility of drug-induced lung injury caused by rhG-CSF, and distinguish them from infectious diseases. Methods A case of rhG-CSF induced acute lung injury was analyzed. After analyzing the relationship between rhG-CSF and acute eosinophilic pneumonia, exploring the possible mechanism, in combination with the patient's condition, the clinical pharmacist put forward the suggestion for the treatment of the disease. Results After receiving rhG-CSF, the patient's eosinophils increased, the pneumonia was aggravated, and the effect of anti-infection treatment was poor. Eosinophils pneumonia associated with rhG-CSF was considered. The patient's pulmonary symptoms improved after treatment with glucocorticoid in combination with withdrawal of antibiotics and antiviral drugs, and eosinophil returned to normal. Conclusion rhG- can cause rare eosinophilic pneumonia. The clinical pharmacist's participation in clinical treatment can help to identify drug-induced diseases, reorient the direction of treatment and ensure the success of clinical therapy.

		                        			Objective To establish a method for determination of the azide ions in blood by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) following pentafluorobenzyl derivatization. Methods A blood sample of 0.2 mL was placed into a 10 mL glass test tube, and the internal standard sodium cyanide, derivatization reagent pentafluorobenzyl bromide and catalyst tetradecyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium chloride were added in turn. After vortex mixing, the mixture was heated with low-power microwave for 3 min. After centrifugation, the organic phase was taken for GC-MS analysis. Results The azide ions in blood had a good linear relationship in the mass concentration range of 0.5 to 20 μg/mL. The lowest detection limit was 0.25 μg/mL and the relative recovery was 91.36%-94.58%. The method was successfully applied to a case of death from sodium azide poisoning. The mass concentration of azide ions in the blood of the dead was 11.11 μg/mL. Conclusion The method developed in this paper has strong specificity and is easy to operate, which is suitable for the rapid detection of azide ions in blood.
