ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the management effect of information nurses in the reception of new surgical instruments and to provide a reference for improving the quality of instrument management in central sterile supply department.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. A total of 45 packages of 227 pieces received from January to July 2021 in central sterile supply department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the control group by convenience sampling method, and the conventional mode was used to receive new surgical instruments. Another 51 packages of 259 pieces received from November 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the observation group, and the information nurse management system was set up to receive new surgical instruments. The observation and comparison of the time to complete the receipt of new surgical instruments in central sterile supply department, the incidence of adverse events in the operation process and the satisfaction of medical and nursing staff with the management of new surgical instruments were conducted.Results:The receiving time for newly added surgical instruments of the observation group was 6.00(5.00, 8.00) hours and that of the control group was 28.00(20.00, 42.50) hours, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( Z = - 8.26, P<0.01). The incidence of adverse events of new surgical instruments was 0.4%(1/259) in the observation group and 6.2%(14/227) in the control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 13.52, P<0.01). The satisfaction degree of medical staff in the observation group was 100% (50/50), higher than 72% (36/50) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 16.28, P<0.01). Conclusions:The implementation of the post of information nurse in the special post responsibility system in the management of new surgical instruments can effectively manage the specifications of surgical instruments, reduce the receiving time and the occurrence of adverse events, improve the satisfaction of medical staff.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the application effect of the new cleaning and drying integrated device (referred to as the new device) of hard endoscope in disinfection and supply center in improving the working efficiency of nurses′ endoscopic instruments.Methods:From August 1 to 30, 2018, the first 24 sets (192 pieces) of surgical instruments for general external endoscopy recovered to the disinfection and supply center every day were used as the control group, and the hard endoscope special cleaning rack (referred to as special cleaning rack) was used for cleaning, and the pressure air gun was used for drying. From September 1 to 30, 2018, the same number, category and recovery time of devices were used as the experimental group, and new devices were used for cleaning and drying. Before using the special cleaning rack, the two groups were cleaned by hand and ultrasonic cleaning machine. The time efficiency and the qualified rate of cleaning and drying were compared between the two groups.Results:In the total time of daily cleaning, the efficiency of (408.10 ± 3.49) min in the experimental group was higher than that of (701.03 ± 2.62) min in the control group ( t value was 2.36, P < 0.01). In the control group, 95.56% of them were qualified for cleaning by Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), 95.47% for crepe paper test, 93.89% for mirror test, 97.36% for ATP Test, 95.92% for crepe paper test and 94.61% for mirror test. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The new device not only ensures the cleaning and drying quality of the endoscopic instruments, but also improves the working efficiency and meets the supply demand of the instruments in the operating room.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the regulatory effects of HTLV-1 ( human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 ) Tax protein on the expression of HMGB 1 ( high mobility group box 1 ) gene in T cells .Methods Total RNA and protein were extracted from Tax +-T cells ( TaxP ) , Tax--T cells ( TaxN ) and Jurkat cells which were stably transfected with pCMV-Tax and pCMV-Neo, respectively.Then, the expression levels of HMGB1 mRNA and protein in different CD 4+T cells were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot (WB).By using liposome-mediated method, pGL3-HMGB1-luc reporter genes and pGL3-neo-luc were tran-siently transfected into TaxP and TaxN cells and the basal transcriptional activity was observed in different T cells.Additionally, pCMV-Tax and pGL3-HMGB1-luc reporter genes were also co-transfected into Jurkat cells and the regulatory effects of Tax protein on HMGB 1 gene was detected .The chromatin immunoprecipi-tation (ChIP) assay was used to identify HMGB1 genomic sites directly targeted by Tax .Results The ex-pression levels of HMGB1 mRNA and protein in Tax+-T cells ( TaxP) were higher than those in Tax--T cells (TaxN).The transcription regulation trends for HMGB1 gene in TaxN and TaxP cells were similar but not identical in diverse T cells.pHLuc3 (containing -504-+83 HMGB1) showed the highest transcriptional ac-tivity of HMGB1 gene in both TaxP and TaxN cells , but HMGB1 transcriptional activity of pHLuc 6 in TaxP cells was significantly stronger than that in TaxN cells .Luciferase assays also showed that Tax protein promo-ted the transcription of HMGB1 gene in a dose-dependent manner .The ChIP assay further confirmed that Tax protein enriched at the HMGB1 region of -1163--1043.Conclusion The region of nt -504--383 is essen-tial for the basal promoter activity of -1163-+83 HMGB1 gene originated from pHLuc 6 reporter plasmid , and Tax protein enriched probably at the HMGB 1 site of -1163--1043 enhances HMGB1 transcription.
