ABSTRACT
Quality management and control of single disease is a means to continuously improve medical quality and safety by building a set of quality control indicators and evaluation systems based on the whole process of disease diagnosis and treatment. In the actual single disease management process, the reporting of each disease involved data from various systems such as electronic medical records, and the data integration was difficult. While the traditional manual reporting method took a lot of time and the data accuracy could not be guaranteed. In the development process of hospital informatization, a hospital has designed a set of intelligent full-closed loop single disease management platform based on the hospital information system, by integrating the existing human and information data resources of the hospital. This platform integrated functions of single disease intranet reporting, in-depth capture of reporting elements, single-disease quality index management, and single-disease real-time intelligent control, in order to promote more refined and intelligent disease management and thus steadily improve medical quality and safety.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application effect of quality control management in the prevention of indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infection in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Methods Cases of patients stayed in the department of ICU undergoing indwelling catheter over 10 d were selected by using time stage sampling method. Totally 136 cases of patients were selected from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, as the control group. A total of 145 cases of patients were selected from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, as the performance group. Cases in performance group were taken standardized training and quantify the performance appraisal on the basis of measures in the control group. The urine routine was tested and bacterial was cultured at indwelling catheter 3 d, 7 d and 10 d, respectively. The indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infections of the two groups were compared. Results After the implementation of the performance appraisal management, the incidences of indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infection at 3 d, 7 d and 10 d were 4.8%(7/145), 19.3% (28/145) and 32.4% (47/145), respectively. Within each quarter, the incidence of indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infection was rising with indwelling catheter time prolonged. And the incidences of the first and second quarter were higher than three and four quarter. The incidences of indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infections at 3 d, 7 d and 10 d in the performance group were lower than the control group, the differences were statistically significant (χ2=4.494, 30.660 and 49.307, P < 0.05). Conclusions Standardized training of nursing staff in ICU and implementation of performance appraisal management could effectively improve the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of the nurses, and effectively reduce the incidence of indwelling catheter associated urinary tract infection.

ABSTRACT
The incidence of male reproductive failure leading to infertility, whether due to delayed parenthood, environmental issues, genetic factors, drugs, etc., is increasing throughout the world. The diagnosis and prognosis of male subfertility have become a challenge. While the basic semen assessment has been performed for many years, a number of studies question the value of the traditional semen characteristics. This is partly due to inadequate methods and standardization, limited knowledge of technical requirements for quality assurance, and an incomplete understanding of what clinical information a semen assessment can provide. Laboratories currently performing semen and endocrine assessment show great variability. The World Health Organization (WHO) manual for the evaluation of semen has been the core of andrology and fertility evaluation that has helped in further development of this field over many years. These include the physical appearance of the ejaculate, assessments of sperm count, motility, vitality, morphology, and functional aspects of the sperm and semen sample. These tests also include male endocrine profile, biochemical evaluation of the semen, detection of antisperm antibodies in serum, the use of computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA), sperm DNA integrity, and its damage due to oxidative stress. Assisted reproductive techniques (e.g., IVF, ICSI) have shown great success but are too expensive. Further development in this field with newer techniques and extensive training/instructions can improve accuracy and reduce variability, thus maintaining the quality and standards of such an evaluation. There is an urgent need to have standardized training centers and increased awareness in this area of men's health for reproductive success.
