ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association between the occurrence of skin lesions due to the use of products and/or personal protective equipment and the importance attributed to preventive care among health professionals working on the front lines of the struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Cross-sectional, analytical study, carried out between May and June 2020, with a convenience sample (n=398) of health workers from 10 professional categories. To verify the existence of an association between the occurrence of skin lesions and exposure variables, a Contingency Table was used to obtain the Prevalence Ratio and respective Confidence Intervals. Results: 260 (65.3%) participants self-declared the development of skin lesions, predominantly nurses (53.8%), women (54.0%), from public institutions (52.8%), characterized by pressure injuries (37.3%), contact/allergic dermatitis (25.8%), or both lesions simultaneously (16.5%). More than half of professionals (53.5%) used preventive products, mainly moisturizers (51.0%). Conclusion: There was probability of an association between professionals who attributed less importance to the predictor "Protocol for proper product PPE and products" and the risk of skin injuries.

ABSTRACT
Profound changes have taken place in human disease spectrum, constitution spectrum, and drug use behavior, and the safety of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) faces new trends and problems. In particular, serious adverse reactions/events such as liver injury and kidney injury caused by non-toxic TCM have been frequently reported, overturning people's understanding of TCM safety, and even shaking the public's confidence in the development of TCM. In the new era of globalization, correctly understanding the situation and problems of TCM safety and addressing the dilemmas in safety evaluation and risk prevention of TCM are the key missions to be undertaken by TCM practitioners. This paper suggests that the situation and problems of TCM safety should be viewed objectively and dialectically, and the use standard of TCM should be advanced with the times. Furthermore, this paper puts forward the new conception and methodology of TCM safety(including one innovative understanding, two types of evaluation modes, tri-elements injury hypothesis; four-quadrant risk decision processes, and five-grade safety evidence body) for the first time, hoping to provide new theories, new strategies, new methods and successful examples for solving the safety problems of TCM.

With the increase in the medical level, the improvement of adverse drug reaction(ADR) monitoring systems, and the enhancement of public awareness of safe medication, drug safety incidents have been frequently reported. Drug-induced liver injury(DILI), especially liver injury attributed to herbal and dietary supplements(HDS), has globally attracted high attention, bringing great threats and severe challenges to the people for drug safety management such as clinical medication and medical supervision. Consensus on drug-induced liver injury had been published by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences(CIOMS) in 2020. In this consensus, liver injury attributed to HDS was included in a special chapter for the first time. The hot topics, including the definition of HDS-induced liver injury, epidemiological history, potential risk factors, collection of related risk signals, causality assessment, risk prevention, control and management were discussed from a global perspective. Based on the previous works, some experts from China were invited by CIOMS to undertake the compilation of this chapter. Meanwhile, a new causality assessment in DILI based on the integrated evidence chain(iEC) method was widely recognized by experts in China and abroad, and was recommended by this consensus. This paper briefly introduced the main contents, background, and characteristics of the Consensus on drug-induced liver injury. Significantly, a brief interpretation was illustrated to analyze the special highlights of Chapter 8, "Liver injury attributed to HDS", so as to provide practical references for the medical staff and the researchers who worked on either Chinese or Western medicine in China.

To provide prevention and control strategies of occupational exposure risks to cytotoxic drug in medical institutions， improve the awareness of protection among medical staff，and reduce potential occupational exposure risks，the Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Occupational Exposure Risk to Cytotoxic Drugs in Medical Institutions is developed. Based on the World Health Organization Guidelines Development Manual，the exposure risk issues of the cytotoxic drug collected from the time that it entered the hospital to the several stages after delivery to hospital，such as transportation，receipt，storage，unpacking，dispensing，use of finished products，and waste disposal. Delphi method is used to construct identification of clinical issues，and evidence-based research method is used to develop relevant evidence. Quality evaluation is conducted by using the recommended GRADE method. The consensus is reached on the recommendation opinions and evidence levels through expert consensus method. By combining engineering controls，administrative controls and personal protective equipment at different levels，a graded control approach is established. A total of 37 clinical issues are identified，resulting in 36 recommendations. This guideline provides reference and supplementation for the formulation of cytotoxic drug prevention and control measures in medical institutions.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: People living with chronic viral hepatitis in India often lack awareness on risk factors and prevention. Moreover, due to fear of stigma and discrimination, they often delay appropriate and timely treatment, resulting in chronic treatment and impoverishment. The objective of this study is to assess knowledge, awareness, and prevention regarding risk factors among viral hepatitis-infected patients attending a super-specialty hospital in Delhi. Material and Methods: Data were collected from 389 patients using systematically random sampling using a pretested, structured interview schedule from patients attending Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, New Delhi. Results: Findings revealed that 90.7% of the respondents believed that hepatitis B virus/hepatitis C virus (HBV/HCV) can be transmitted through sexual contact with a person who is infected, 94.3% said that it can be transmitted by transfusion of infected blood, 90% reported that it can be spread from infected mother to child during child birth, 93.8% responded that it can be transmitted if a person uses a razor, pierced ear ring, needle, or syringe used by an infected person, 83% believed that HBV/HCV can cause cancer in 90% of the respondents in long run, and more than 35% believed that HBV/HCV is curable. Results also show that 7.2% of the respondents have been vaccinated for HBV infection in the past, 20.8% of the respondents have screened their families for hepatitis B infections, and 77.9% of the respondents have received antiviral medications. Conclusion: HBV/HCV-infected patients had less knowledge about various facts regarding disease and continue to experience emotional disturbances, stigma, and discrimination.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the nutritional risk influencing factors in stroke patients， and to discuss the formulation of rehabilitation nursing countermeasures. Methods We randomly selected 152 patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to July 2020. Based on the results of the mini nutritional assessment （MNA） score， the patients were divided into normal group （49 cases）， risk group （53 cases）， and bad group （50 cases）. Single factor analysis and correlation analysis were used to analyze the nutritional risk factors， and the countermeasures for the influencing factors were discussed. Results Univariate analysis showed that stroke time， mechanical ventilation， swallowing dysfunction， ADL score， upper arm muscle circumference， serum albumin， and total lymphocyte count in risk and bad groups were different from the normal group. In comparison， the proportion of patients with mechanical ventilation and swallowing dysfunction was higher， and ADL score， upper arm muscle circumference， serum albumin level and total lymphocyte count were lower （P<0.05）. The Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the factors with differences in the univariate analysis also showed correlation （P<0.05）. Among them， the positive correlation factors included the duration of stroke， receiving mechanical ventilation， swallowing dysfunction， NIHSS score， negatively related factors included ADL score， serum levels of albumin， transferrin， and hemoglobin. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that stroke time （OR=1.739， P<0.001） and swallowing dysfunction （OR=3.966， P=0.008） were independent risk factors for malnutrition. ADL score （OR=0.687， P<0.001）， upper arm muscle circumference （OR=0.770， P=0.012）， serum albumin level （OR=0.870， P=0.003） were independent protective factors for malnutrition. Conclusion The nutritional status in stroke patients is not optimistic. Most patients have swallowing disorders， motor dysfunction， and poor self-care ability. At the same time， the body protein content in patients has decreased significantly. The clinical work is needed to deal with the patients' swallowing function recovery together with the treatment of nerve damage.
ABSTRACT
In recent years, the frequency of corruption incidents in public hospitals in China has increased, and it is particularly important to strengthen the construction of hospital incorrupt politics. Based on the traditional chinese medical theory of preventing diseases, the author deeply discusse the prevention and control strategies in high-risk areas of public hospitals incorrupt from 3 aspects: prevention before disease onset, prevention of disease from exacerbating and prevention of recovery from relapse. Based on the common problems found in the political inspection of Beijing municipal health system and large-scale hospitals in the latest years, an incorrupt government risks list of high-risk areas in hospital had been sorted out; A tertiary hospital and its 4 entrusted hospitals were selected to conduct self-inspection on the key links of important power activities and authority behaviors in accordance with the incorrupt government risks list, and putting forward targeted supervision strategies for these problems. Since the implementation of supervision strategy for high-risk areas in the tertariy hospital and its 4 entrusted hospitals in May 2021, the number of letters and visits in the 5 aspects of medicine procurement, equipment procurement, consumables and reagents procurement, engineering construction and logistics service procurement were significantly reduced. Based on the traditional chinese medical theory of preventing diseases, the supervision strategy in high-risk areas could effectively improve the pertinence, operability and effectiveness of discipline inspection and supervision in hospital, and provide a reference for the construction of incorrupt government in public hospitals.

Por consiguiente, se indaga acerca de los principales factores de riesgo desde el ámbito psicosocial y se cuestiona la forma en cómo se da la formación de los ^ profesionales de la Ciencia de la Salud, ya que se considera que este responde a exigencias sociales y económicas del sector de la salud, pero deja olvidada las condiciones laborales, sociales y psicológicas de los prestadores de salud. En este orden de ideas y reconociendo el escenario globalizado en el que la sociedad está inmersa, es relevante propender por la indagación directa del origen del estrés en el ámbito laboral, analizar las condiciones laborales y los riesgos implícitos a los que se encuentra expuesto el médico dentro de la organización, para poder así brindar herramientas oportunas y preventivas en torno a la disminución de las tasas de suicidios.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to analyze and propose possible solutions from a holistic approach for the prevention of suicide in the medical community, since it is a social reality that must be addressed since it is growing, with health professionals being the that present a higher suicide rate compared to other professions. Consequently the main risk factors are investigated from the psychosocial field and the way in which the training of Health Science professionals is given is questioned, since it is considered that this responds to social and economic demands of the health sector, but neglects the working, social and psychological conditions of health providers. In this order of ideas and recognizing the globalized scenario in which society is immersed, it is relevant to tend to directly investigate the origin of stress in the workplace, analyze working conditions and the implicit risks to which the doctor is exposed within the organization, in order to provide timely and preventive t°°ls around the decrease in suicide rates.

ABSTRACT
Cancer immunotherapy has led to a new era of cancer treatment strategies, and transforming healthcare for cancer patients. Meanwhile, reports of immune-related adverse events have been increasing, greatly hindering the use of cancer immunotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has been widely used in Asian countries for thousands of years, is known to play a complementary role in the treatment of cancer. Taken in combined with conventional modern therapies, such as resection, ablation and radiotherapy, TCM exerts its main anti-cancer effects in two ways: health-strengthening (Fu-Zheng) and pathogen-eliminating (Qu-Xie). Theoretically, pathogen-eliminating TCM can promote the release of tumor-related antigens and should be able to increase the effect of immunotherapy, while health-strengthening TCM may have immune-enhancing mechanisms that overlap with immunotherapy. In the era of cancer immunotherapy, it is important to balance the use of TCM and immunotherapy, with the goal of enhancing immune efficacy and antagonizing immune toxicity. In this article, we discuss this issue by considering the mechanism of tumor immunotherapy, alongside the theoretical basis of TCM treatment of tumors, with the aim of bringing new insights to future research in this field.

【Objective】 To explore the causes of occupational exposure, so as to prevent occupational exposure that endangering the physical and mental health of staff in blood centers. 【Methods】 Occupational exposure cases reported from May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2020 by Taizhou Blood Center were classified and analyzed in terms of the exposure mode, body parts, post distribution, seniority of operators and whether the operation was carried out as required. 【Results】 From May 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020, 23 cases of occupational exposure (6.66/100000) occurred in Taizhou Blood Center, and the incidence rate was roughly the same in each year. Among the occupational exposure modes, sharp device puncture, wound exposure and mucosal exposure accounted for 65.2% (15/23), 17.4% (4/23) and 17.4% (4/23), respectively. The exposed sites of body were mainly fingers, followed by eyes and mouth. The incidence of occupational exposure of phlebotomist post accounted for 65.2% (15/23), followed by apheresis platelet collection, component preparation and preliminary screening post [21.7% (5/23), 8.7% (2/23) and 4.3% (1/23), respectively, P<0.05]. The incidence of occupational exposure of new staff rotated within one year was 43.5% (10/23), followed by fixed-point staff within 1-5 years and over 5 years [34.8% (8/23) and 21.7% (5/23), respectively], P<0.05. 56.5% (13/23) of occupational exposure was due to employees′ failure to obey the operate as required. 【Conclusion】 Where there is needle contact there is exposure risk. the newer staff are more likely to suffer occupational exposure, and most exposure are caused by non-compliance with the regulations. The establishment of various preventive measures can effectively reduce the incidence of occupational exposure in blood banks and ensure occupational safety.

Objective To study the clinical application effect of risk preventive nursing on children with pneumonia and their rehabilitation. Methods One hundred children with pneumonia admitted to Xiaoyi People's Hospital from March 2016 to March 2017 for treatment were enrolled. Among them, 45 cases from March the 1st to August the 1st in 2016 were treated with conventional nursing (conventional nursing group), while 55 cases from August the 2nd, 2016 to March the 1st, 2017 were taken cared by the risk prevention nursing (risk prevention group). The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins (IL-6, IL-8) were examined on admission and discharge in the two groups by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the time length for clinical symptoms to disappear, rehabilitation effect, hospitalization time, family members' satisfaction and incidence of complications were observed in the two groups. Results No statistically significant differences were detected in serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 levels between the two groups before nursing (all P > 0.05).The levels of inflammatory factors at discharge in both groups were lower than those at admission, the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in the children of risk prevention group were significantly lower than those in the conventional nursing group discharge [TNF-α (μg/L): 16.54±7.13 vs. 22.78±9.12, IL-6 (ng/L): 9.25±5.48 vs. 15.11±7.01, IL-8 (μg/L): 4.08±2.16 vs. 7.69±3.56, all P < 0.05]. The duration for clinical symptoms to disappear and duration of hospital stay in the risk prevention group were significantly shorter than those in the conventional nursing group [cough stopping time (days): 6.87±2.54 vs. 10.35±3.08, duration of rale disappearance (days): 7.01±2.13 vs. 10.87±3.25, fever recovery time (days): 6.25±2.64 vs. 8.76±3.58, duration of asthma relief (days): 7.59±3.17 vs. 10.26±3.26, duration of hospital stay (days): 8.16±1.86 vs. 13.25±3.64, all P < 0.05]. The total effective rate and family members' satisfaction in the risk prevention group were significantly higher than those in the conventional nursing group [total effective rate: 94.54% (52/55) vs. 77.78% (35/45), family members' satisfaction: 96.36% (53/55) vs. 84.44% (38/45), both P < 0.05]. The incidence of complications in the risk prevention group was obviously lower than that in the conventional nursing group [5.45% (3/55) vs. 46.67% (21/45), P < 0.05]. Conclusion Risk prevention nursing can reduce the incidence of inflammatory reaction, improve the family members' satisfaction with nursing, and promote the children recovery process.
ABSTRACT
Preventing and mitigating major risk exposure is an important task for modern countries to maintain sustained and healthy economic development and overall social stability. In this manuscript, the authors introduced Israel′s current medical and health care risk prevention system, including the regional health emergency response coordination mechanism, hospital′s external emergency rescue capacity building and hospital′s internal security system. Israel′s risk prevention system has been tested by wars and terrorist attacks, as well as many infectious diseases outbreaks. Thus the authors expected that its successful experiences can be introduced as a reference for improving China′s medical and health care risk prevention system.
ABSTRACT
Internal control of public hospital can prevent and control risk exposure of public hospitals in their economic activities,in order to reasonably guarantee their legal compliance,safety and effective use of assets,as well as their authenticity and integrity of financial information.It can also effectively fend off fraud,corruption,and improve the quality of public health services and service efficiency.The authors analyzed the present situation and existing problems of internal control efforts at public hospitals in Ya'an city,and put forward countermeasures and suggestions as well.
