Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety analysis of a novel laser localization technology assisted percutaneous puncture of trigeminal nerve microsphere capsule compression surgery for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia.Methods:A retrospective selection was conducted on 63 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia who underwent percutaneous puncture of the trigeminal nerve microsphere capsule compression surgery at the First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2021. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into a new laser localization assisted puncture group (observation group) of 32 cases and a traditional barehanded localization puncture group (control group) of 31 cases. An analysis was conducted on the surgical time, puncture time, puncture frequency, intraoperative exposure to radiation, number of cases of poor balloon formation, and clinical efficacy within 6 months after surgery for two groups of patients. The prognosis of the patients was followed up at 6 months after surgery.Results:The surgical time, puncture time, puncture frequency, and intraoperative exposure of the observation group were all less than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in the number of cases of poor balloon angioplasty between the observation group and the control group, as well as the pain score grading of the Barlow Neurological Institute (BNI) on the first day after surgery. Within 6 months after surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of facial numbness, diplopia, masseter weakness, perilabial herpes, and recurrent pain between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Laser positioning technology can assist in precise puncture of the foramen ovale and accurate placement of balloons based on surgical experience, which helps to improve surgical safety, reduce postoperative complications and intraoperative radiation dose, and achieve satisfactory short-term follow-up results.

Objective:To explore the sleep status and impact factor analysis of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs, and provide a basis for improving the sleep status and impact analysis of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs.Methods:From April to May 2023, 107 oncology patients in the Phase I Clinical Trial Ward of the Affiliated East Hospital of Tongji University were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI), Numeric rating scale (NRS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and Depression Self-Ration Tool Scale (PHQ-9). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis methods were used to carry out a cross-sectional investigation and the relevant factors affecting patients′sleep.Results:Totally 103 questionnaires were effectively collected. The 103 patients′ age ranged from 20 to 75 years old, including 61 males and 42 females. 47.57% (49/103) patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs had abnormal sleep. The average score of patients (PSQI) (7.66 ± 3.93) was higher than the average score of the domestic norm (3.88 ± 2.52), and there was significant statistical difference ( t = 9.76, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that pain ( OR = 3.004, 95% CI 1.135-7.948, P<0.05) and trial cycle ( OR = 0.432, 95% CI 0.191-0.978, P<0.05) were significant risk factors for abnormal sleep quality. Conclusions:The incidence of abnormal sleep quality in patients of clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs is high, but the sleep quality is poor. The factors that affect the sleep quality of patients in clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs are mainly related to the patient′s trial cycle and cancer pain. According to these characteristics, individualized programs should be developed to improve the sleep quality of patients with advanced cancer, so as to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effect of evidence-based bundle intervention strategy on reducing the inci-dence of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI).Methods Prospective and multicenter study was adopted,patients admitted to 54 intensive care units (ICUs)of 41 hospitals and with central venous catheters (CVCs)between October 1 ,2013 and September 30,2014 were monitored .Baseline data between October 2013 and March 2014 were collected as pre-intervention data;from April to September 2014,the participated hospitals performed intervention strategy,post-intervention data were compared with pre-intervention data.Results The usage rate of CVCs before and after intervention was significantly different (44.18% vs 44.63%,χ2 =5.526,P =0.019).Incidence of CLABSI before and after intervention was not significantly different(RR ,0.82[95%CI ,0.59-1 .13],P =0.10).Constituent ratio of catheter insertion sites between pre-and post-intervention was significantly different (χ2 =76.264,P <0.001),femoral vein catheterization rate as well as proportion of two and above catheter insertion sites after intervention decreased(17.25% VS 13.72%;2.27% VS 1 .44%,respectively);hand hygiene implementation rate and accuracy rate after intervention were both higher than before intervention (79.73% vs 76.14%,P <0.001 ;91 .47% vs 74.26%,P <0.001 ,respectively);constituent ratio of skin disinfectant applica-tion before and after intervention was significantly different(χ2 =3.861 ,P <0.001 ),proportion of chlorhexidine ethanol increased (29.62% VS 50.56%);except daily assessment and record,compliance to other prevention and control measures before and after intervention were all significantly different(all P <0.001);utilization rate of max-imal sterile barrier,qualified rate of dressing of operators,and port disinfection were all significantly enhanced. Conclusion Bundle intervention in intubation and maintenance are implemented effectively,but intervention effect on CLABSI needs further study.

Objective To investigate the status and risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI)in hospitals in Chi-na,so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of SSI.Methods Four types of surgeries (colorectal surgery,abdominal hysterectomy,femoral neck repair surgery,and vascular surgery)in 29 hospitals were monitored prospectively,risk factors for SSI were analyzed.Results A total of 6 309 surgical procedures were investigated,incidence of SSI was 1 .60%.Incidences of SSI in patients receiving colorectal surgery,abdominal hys-terectomy,femoral neck repair surgery,and vascular surgery were 4.47%(74/1 655 ),1 .03%(22/2 139),0.21 %(5/2 372),and 0.00% (0/143 )respectively.The incidences of SSI were different among different regions (χ2 =114.213,P <0.05).The most common SSI was superficial incisional infection,the next was deep incisional infec-tion.The major pathogens causing SSI were Escherichia coli ,Enterococcus spp .,coagulase negative staphylococ-cus ,Staphylococcus aureus ,and Klebsiella pneumoniae .The independent risk factors for SSI were male patients, long duration of surgery,and high NNIS score.Conclusion The risk of SSI is varied with different types of surger-ies.Male,long duration of surgery,and high NNIS score can increase the risk of postoperative SSI.

Objective To intervene hand hygiene(HH)of health care workers (HCWs)in an intensive care unit(ICU)of a hospital,and evaluate HH compliance of HCWs and influencing factors.Methods 37 HCWs from an ICU of a teaching hospital were chosen as studied subjects,HH status before and after intervention was observed and analyzed by direct and indirect methods.Results In the first monitoring stage,HH rate in baseline and post-intervention survey stage was signifi-cantly different (46.96% vs 63.30%,χ2 =7.344,P =0.007);in the second monitoring stage,HH compliance rate in-creased from 57.85% to 88.58%.HH compliance rate was positively correlated with consumption of HH product per bed-day(r=0.725,P <0.001),but negatively correlated with incidence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)and case rate of HAI(r=-0.983,-0.990,respectively,both P <0.001),HH rate to alcohol-based hand sanitizers was positively correlated with consumption of HH product per bed-day (r=0.391,P <0.001 ).Conclusion Long-term monitoring and intervention of HH compliance is necessary,combination of direct observation and indirect assessment of HH product con-sumption is helpful for effective monitoring and intervention of HH compliance among HCWs.
