ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the interventional operation room air disinfection effect of circulatingair disinfection method by an ultraviolet air disinfector with that of air-purifying screen disinfection method in order to provide scientific basis for formulating optimal measures to control hospital infection.Methods By using plate natural sedimentation method,air sampling was conducted at different period of time after the start of air disinfection in operation room.The air sterilization results of the two disinfection methods for the operation room where several consecutive interventional procedures had been performed were compared.Results Both disinfection methods had better preoperative air disinfection effect (P＞0.05).When ultraviolet disinfection method was used,the differences in colony detection results among the air samples that were collected at different time periods were statistically significant (P＞0.01).With the increasing of time after the start of air disinfection,the number of bacterial colonies was increased.If air-purifying screen disinfection method was employed,the air in the operation could be continuously and dynamically purified,the number of bacterial colonies determined in the whole course of operation met the national hygienic standard for air disinfection.Conclusion Continuous air purification by using air-purifying screen disinfection method can shorten the interval between consecutive surgeries,meanwhile,the operation room can be kept in a condition for any emergency surgery at anytime,besides,nosocomialtion can be effectively prevented.

ABSTRACT
[Objective] To explore more scientific and reasonable methods for testing the effectiveness of indoorair purifying sets, so as to obtain scientific and constant experimental data from every laboratories. [Methods] Theindoor air purifying sets were classified on the basis of their working mechanisms. Several kinds of current popularmethods for testing the purifying effectiveness and their characters were compared each other and analyzed. The in-fluencing factors and limited conditions of 3 determining models under special conditions established on the basis ofbalance model of pollutants release were explored and studied. [Results] Several current popular methods for testingthe purifying effectiveness were crude, which couldn't accurately reflact the purifying effectiveness of tested indoorair purifying sets. To ensure the experimental operation simple and strict and to obtain scientific testing data, the ex-perimental process should be controlled and transfered to a model suitable for simple volatile matter or other modelseasily operated under the control of its influencing factors. [Conclusion]The establishments of accurate testing meth-ods and accurate expressions of testing results were the sufficient and essential conditions for accurate evaluation ontesting objectives.

ABSTRACT
The research work on air purification and disinfection in air defence fortifications was carried out. The air purification method could reduce bacteria, fungi, CO2 concentration and odor in the air. It might increase the clean degree of the air from Degree HI to Degree Ⅱ in the operation room. Efficiency of ZSH/W type ultraviolet lamp for air disinfection was better than that of other ultraviolet lamp. The ozone produced was also less. Its bactericidal rate was 71.7%-82.7%. When Type 88 disinfectant was used for air disinfection in wards. operation room, X-ray room and office, its bactericidal rate was 99%, and fungicidal rate was 86%. All of these methods were very effective for indoor air purification and idsinfection.
