Prevalence rates of healthcare-associated infection in a tumor hospital in 3 years / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To investigate the prevalence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in a tumor hospital,and provide evidence for prevention and control of HAI.Methods According to requirement of cross sectional survey of nationwide HAI monitoring network,prevalence rates of HAI in hospitalized patients at a tumor hospital in 2013-2015 were surveyed,surveyed results were statistically analyzed.Results A total of 3 515 hospitalized patients were investigated from 2013 to 2015,24(0.68%)had HAI.The prevalence rates of HAI from 2013 to 2015 were 0.79%,0.54%,and 0.76%respectively,difference was not statistically significant(x2=0.65,P>0.05).The main infection site was lower respiratory tract,accounting for 45.83%.The main pathogens causing HAI were gram-negative bacilli,accounting for 47.37%,followed by fungi(26.32%).Conclusion The prevalence rate of HAI in tumor patients is low,targeted monitoring should be carried out according to the current situation,the prevention and control of lower respiratory tract infection should be focused on,fungal infection should be paid attention.

Self-assembly of plasma protein as a nanocarrier for lipophilic drugs / 医学研究生学报

Objective Human serum albumin ( HSA) is a kind of plasma protein , which can transport various small molecu-lar substances to the body.A disulfide bond breaking strategy is used to fabricate HSA-curcumin nanoparticles(NPs-CCM) in order to improve the solubility and tumor targeting capability of curcumin . Methods NPs-CCM were fabricated with dithiothreitol as the re-ducing agent .The size and shape of the nanoparticles were observed with high resolution electron microscopy .We explored the change of hydrophobic region during the process of degeneration of albumin , the releasing behavior in the solution and the tumor targeting capa-bility in vivo and vitro of NPs-CCM. Results The diameter of NPs-CCM was about 150 nm.The determination of surface hydropho-bicity showed that ANS fluorescence intensity decreased gradually as the extension of degeneration time , at the time 0 min, 2 min, 5 min and 10 min, ANS relative fluorescence intensity was 5492(5432-5673), 2486(2319-2878), 1998(1904-2317), 1503 (1280-1584) respectively.The hydrophobic region of albumin gradually reduced during the degeneration time .The curcumin re-leased from NPs-CCM amounted to about 50% within 40 h, and the NPs-CCM can be absorbed by tumor cells and accumulation in tumor tissue. Conclusion Albumin can improve the solubility and tumor targeting capability of curcumin , and it has potential clinical application value.

Infection of Central Venous Catheterization in Tumor Patients with Chemotherapy:Analysis and Nursing Intervention / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the infection of central venous catheterization in tumor patients with chemotherapy and analyze its risk factors and the role of nursing intervention. METHODS The prospective overall monitoring method was used,including catheterization,maintenance,observation and monitoring. RESULTS Of 446 cases with chemotherapy,the infection rate was 2.24% (10 cases). The infection mainly correlated with age,catheterization time,chemotherapy duration,venous nutrition,complication and hormone. CONCLUSIONS The infection of central venous catheterization is inevitable due to multiple risk factors. The measures to prevent and reduce hospital infection are holding the key steps of central venous catheterization,executing the management system of sterilization,keeping tract smooth,cutting down time of central venous catheterization and strengthening nursing education about central venous catheterization.

Pathogen Distribution and Drug Resistance in Venous Catheterization Infection / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To investigate antibiotic resistance and distribution of bacteria to provide reference for using antibiotics reasonably.METHODS Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed by K-B method,meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus(MRS)and ESBLs were identified according to NCCLS(2004)of the USA.RESULTS From in 118 strains of bacteria there were 75 Staphylococcus strains,and the isolated rate of meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 35.0%,and that of meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative S.aureus(MRCNS)was 40.0%.Among 41 Gram-negative bacilli,ESBLs isolating rates in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 18.2% and 30.0%,respectively.The resistant rate to clindamycin,erythromycin and ciprofloxacin in MRS was higher than in meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus(MSS)significantly.Imipenem showed proper antibiotic activity to Gram-negative bacilli.CONCLUSIONS We should pay more attention to resistant strains to control the nosocomial infection outbreaking.

Factors Influencing Hand-washing Compliance among Clinic Nurses and Countermeasures / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To explore the condition of hand-washing compliance among clinic nurses,find the factors which influence the nurses hand-washing compliance,and discuss the countermeasures.METHODS Their behavior of hand-washing compliance among 119 clinic nurses was investigated randomly,78 clinic nurses were adopted hand-washing technical examination.RESULTS The hand-washing compliance rate before medical activities was 5.9%,but after medical activities was 29.4%.The hand-washing accurate rate was 56.0%.CONCLUSIONS Administrative personnel should adopt essential intervention,and enhance management and supervision of the hand-washing behavior to improve the hand-washing compliance and its quality.

Effects of EGF and bFGF on expression of microtubule-associated protein tau and MAP-2 mRNA of mononuclear cells derived from human umbilical cord blood / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To explore the regulatory effects of cytokines such as EGF, bFGF on expression of neural-specific molecules in mononuclear cells (MNCs) cultured in H-DMEM medium. METHODS: The umbilical cord blood samples were collected from health puerperal natural delivery. The mononuclear cells were isolated by centrifugation over Lymphoprep and planted in T-75 flasks containing H-DMEM medium with or without addition of EGF, bFGF or EGF plus bFGF at a final concentration of 20 ?g/L, respectively. Phenotypic changes were monitored by inverse phase-contrast microscopy. Tau and MAP2 mRNA were determined by reverse-transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Tau and MAP2-positive cell were determined by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS: The expression of tau protein mRNA was negative in uncultured cells, but MAP2 mRNA was positive. In cultured cells, tau protein mRNA expressed positively, MAP2 mRNA expression was upregulated by EGF+bFGF, EGF or bFGF compared with control group (no cytokines). The upregulatory capability of EGF+bFGF to MAP2 mRNA expression was stronger than that of EGF or bFGF alone. The same upregulatory tendency was noted in tau mRNA expression. In the group of control, bFGF, EGF, EGF+bFGF, the rate of MAP2-positive cells was 14.4%, 19.6%, 25.6%, 33.5%, respectively. Tau protein-positive cells were 13.5%, 15.3%, 21.4%, 29.8%, respectively. Under inverse microscopy, the freshly isolated MNCs were small and round, after culturing, the cells became larger with some big, long cytodenrites in the EGF+bFGF group, with 1 or 2 threadlike cytodenrites in the EGF group, or with some short multi-dendron like-astrocyte in the bFGF group and control group, but the number of astrocyte-like cells in the control group was less than that in bFGF group. CONCLUSION: MNCs derived from human umbilical cord blood cells express some neural specific molecules and are upregulated by cytokines, especially EGF and bFGF, which have the synergetic action. [
