ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze themonitoring results of environmental hygiene inthe Blood Purification-Center and explore the management. Methods Hospitalinfection control personnel carried on the environmental hygiene monitoring in the blood purification center from 2010 January 2010 to December 2014. A total of 656 sampleswere examined , with monitoring covering airindex , surface of objects , hands of medical staffs and dialysis water. The infections from temporarydouble lumen catheteration were analyzed during the period. Results Of the 656 examinedsamples, 613 were qualified, with the overall pass rate of 96.4%. All the monitoring samples basi-cally achieved the qualified standard, with zero detection rate of the pathogen. The temporarydouble lumen catheterinfection rate was decreased from 8.6% to 3.4% during the period andthe difference was statistically sig-nificant between 2014 and 2010 (χ2 = 7.73, P < 0.01). Conclusion Strengthening the environmental hygiene monitoring may help increase the dialysis treatment and nursing work , decrease the infection rate of temporary dou-ble lumen catheter in hemodialysis patients and improve their quality of life.

ABSTRACT
Objetivo: analizar la producción científica sobre agua potable y saneamiento, aguas residuales y contaminación de cuerpos de agua, en América Latina y el Caribe, AL y C, y el Istmo Centroamericano, durante el período 1990-2006. Metodología: se recolectaron datos de investigaciones sobre agua potable, AP, y saneamiento, S, publicadas "en línea" en 8 bases de datos del ámbito interamericano y mundial. Estos resultados se compararon con las publicaciones presentadas en el XXX Congreso de Ingeniería Sanitaria, AIDIS, celebrado en Punta del Este, Uruguay, en noviembre del año 2006, con el propósito de evaluar la tendencia de la producción por país. Los datos se procesaron por número y tasas de publicaciones / 1.000.000 de habitantes en cada país. Resultados: los resultados indican que Brasil es el país con mayor cantidad de artículos científicos publicados en línea; sin embargo, al procesar los datos por tasas / 1.000.000, surgen Costa Rica y Chile, respectivamente, con tasas de 5,092 y 1,312 por millón de habitantes, ocupando Cuba el cuarto lugar con 0,442 y Brasil el quinto puesto con 0,355. El análisis comparativo con las presentaciones en el congreso de AIDIS, indica un comportamiento semejante a las publicaciones en línea, excepto Uruguay que, por ser país sede del Congreso, tuvo una gran participación en presentaciones. Conclusiones: se identificaron 133 artículos científicos en línea e indexados en un período de 16 años, de los cuales el 48 por ciento fueron producidos en Brasil, 16.5 por ciento en Costa Rica, 15.3 por ciento en Chile y el resto en Cuba, 3.8 por ciento, Venezuela, 4.5 por ciento, Colombia, 3.2 por ciento, Bolivia, 0.8 por ciento y Guatemala, 10.8 por ciento. Sin embargo, el cálculo de las tasas de producción científica en AP y S por 1.000.000 de habitantes, indican que Costa Rica y Chile son los países de mayor producción científica, con 5,092 y 1,312, respectivamente, superando a Brasil que obtuvo 0.365/1.000.000 habitantes.
Objective: To analyze the scientific research production regarding drinking water as well as environmental hygiene (by which, we refer to residual waters and contamination of bodies of water) in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as Central America, during theperiod comprised between the years 1990 and 2006. Methods: research data on drinking water and environmentalhygiene published online were collected on 8 databases which include the Latin American and also the global level. These results were compared with publications presented during the 30th. Congress on Sanitary Engineering which took place in Punta del Este, Uruguay in November, 2006. The purpose was toevaluate per country productivity. Data were processed according to gross numbers as well as publication ratesper 1,000,000 inhabitants per country.Results: we found that Brazil is the country with the greatest total number of articles published online; nevertheless, when rates per million people are calculated, the countries with the highest production areCosta Rica and Chile with rates of 5.092 and 1.312 per million respectively. Cuba occupies the next place with a rate of 0.442 and Brazil has a rate of 0.355 per million. When comparing the above data with the presentations in the 30th. Congress on Sanitary Engineering,the results follow a similar behavior except that since the host country was Uruguay, the latter country showed an important participation during the Congress. Conclusions:133 scientific articles published and indexed online for a 16-year period were identified.Of these, 48% were produced in Brazil, 16.5% in Costa Rica, 15.3% in Chile and the rest were from Cuba (3.8%),Venezuela (4.5%), Colombia (3.2%), Bolivia (0.8%) and Guatemala (10.8%). Our results show that the rates per million of scientific productivity in drinking water andenvironmental hygiene are highest in Costa Rica and Chile with rates of 5.092 and 1.312 respectively...

ABSTRACT
In teaching the course of Environmental Hygiene to the senior major of the four-year undergraduates of the Department of Public Administration,we have tried to reform the teaching program for the course of Public Place Hygiene.The related theories are taught right on the spot of public places instead of in classrooms.Students are organized to carry out such activities on their own as studying subject matters,consulting related documents and data,working out and implementing programs for on-the-spot monitoring and inspection,and then exchanging and discussing the results of monitoring and inspection,so that their interest in the courses is increased and their understanding of what they have learned is deepened.In this way they are able to apply their knowledge to practice,improve their practical capabilities,and enhance their overall capacity for analyzing and finding solutions to problems they are faced with.

More than 3 years have passed since the guideline for infection prevention at acupuncture and moxibustion clinics was issued. We studied changes in the attitude toward sanitization of the environment and consciousness about infection prevention at acupuncture and moxibustion clinics during this period. The subjects were members of the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies of Kyoto and Osaka (n=349). About 70% of the subjects felt anxiety about infections, and nearly 80% of them were interested in sanitizing the clinics. More than half (57%) of the subjects were using both disposable and reusable needles, and about half the subjects disposed of used needles without sterilization. Concerning the linen, pillow covers were changed for every patient by about 70% of the subjects, but towels and sheets were changed by only 20% and 10%, respectively. White coats were changed within 1 week by about 70% of the subjects. Most subjects answered that the clinics were cleaned everyday, but less than a half of them sterilize slippers. About half the subjects answered that curtains were washed every 3-6 months. Autoclaves were placed in only 90% of the clinics. Attention to preventive measures against infection of therapists tended to diminish with increase in the clinical experience.
ABSTRACT
This survey was conducted in a local city, Tokushima for its 23 administrative sections, which were classified into rural, non-rural and mixed districts based on the data related to agriculture. Complaints of public nuisances in these districts have been examined and the following findings have been obtained.<BR>1. Complaints about water pollution and offensive odor in the rural district and those about offensive odor and noise in the mixed district have been raised more often, respectively. While, in the non-rural district more complaints about noise have been raised. Thus, it is recognized that possible pollution phenomena vary depending on regional patterns.<BR>2. In time-serial comparison between the first half (1977-1980) and the second half (1981-1984) of survey period, it is found that total complaints of public nuisances have been reduced and the complaints in the rural district have been increased for all the types excepting dust. Therefore, it is suggested that regional environment in suburban farm villages has been deteriorating.
