In order to prevent and control the transmission of the drug-resistant organism in healthcare facilities, the Healthcare Infection Society and the Infection Prevention Society jointly conducted the guidelines for the prevention and control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in 2021. This article introduces the guide from the background, preparation process, main prevention and control measures and further studies, and compares the guidelines with the current prevention and control measures in China, so as to provide a methodological reference for preparation of the guide for domestic infection prevention and control practitioners, and provide evidence-based prevention and control strategies for clinical practice.
ObjectiveTo improve activities of daily living (referring to Barthel Index) in the older inpatients.MethodsIn January 2016, a quality control circle (QCC) was established. According to 10 steps in activity of QCC, we figured out the causes of low Barthel Index score in older inpatients by using Plato method and Fishbone Diagram which were common methods of QCC. In addition, we designed and implemented a rectification program to improve Barthel Index score.ResultsAfter intervention of QCC, the average Barthel Index score of the older inpatients increased from 72.40±6.42 to 89.30±5.87 with a statistical difference (P<0.01); the satisfaction percent of hospitalized patients increased from 94.5% to 98.7% with a statistical difference (P<0.01). The percentage of registered nurses whose theoretical test score were over 90 increased from 57% to 88% (P<0.01) and the satisfaction percent of nurses increased from 90.5% to 95.6% (P<0.01). Moreover, the member’s ability of learning, discovery, analysis and problem solving, communication, application of QCC skills were improved.ConclusionThe application of QCC activities will increase older inpatients’ Barthel Index score, improve the satisfaction of patients and nursing staff, and enhance the members’ ability of solving problems by using QCC skills.

Methods Twenty-one male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group (Sham group), ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group), and shenfu injection treated group (SF group). The rats were anesthetized with valebarbitone. Bilateral kidneys were exposed through midline incision. The right kidney underwent the nephrectomy and left renal pedicels were occluded for 60 minutes with a traumatic mini-clamp and then unclamped for 24 hours. Animals in SF group received Shenfu injection (10 mL/kg) through intraperitoneal injection every day for 7 days. About 24 hours after reperfusion, superoxide dismutase (SOD), CAT and malonical aldehyde (MDA) were measured. Results The levels of MDA were lower in SF group than those in IR group (Plt;0.05). The level of SOD and CAT in SF group increased more significantly than which did in IR group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Our finding suggests that antioxidant system in SF group works more efficiently than IR group to overcome oxidative stress in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness of outdoor activities in preventing myopia progression, and to provide scientific evidence for myopia prevention and management.MethodsPubMed, MEDLINE, EMbase, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were searched from establishment to October 2017. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 10 studies involving 24 667 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the incidence of myopia in outdoor activities group was lower than that in control group (OR=0.67, 95%CI 0.55 to 0.81, P<0.000 1).ConclusionThe current evidence shows that outdoor activities have protective effects on emmetropia children myopia onset. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
Objective?To investigate the feasibility of photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) technique in repairing limbal stem cell (LSC) deficiency and the effect on cornea wound healing.?Methods?LSCs were isolated from limbus of New Zealand rabbits by tissue block culture method, and then the LSCs of 2nd passage were cultured on de-epithelialized human amniotic membrane (HAM) for 3 weeks to prepare the HAM/LSC grafts. The LSC deficiency models of the left eyes were established by 0.5 mol/L NaOH in 24 New Zealand female rabbits, aged 3-4 months and weighing 1.5-2.0 kg. HAM/LSC grafts were used to repair the cornea wounds by sutures (suture group, n=12) or by PTB technique (PTB group, n=12). The gross was observed including the corneal transparency, erythema, and new blood vessel formation after surgery. At 3 and 28 days, the inflammatory cytokine of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were assayed by ELISA method; and the amount of new blood vessels were quantified by immunohistochemistry staining at 28 days.?Results?All animals survived to the end of the experiment. At 3 days, there was no obvious difference in the corneal transparency between 2 groups; at 28 days, the corneal transparency of PTB group was higher than that of suture group, and new blood vessels decreased. HE staining showed that mass inflammatory cells infiltrated between graft and cornea basal layer at 3 days, and no new blood vessel formed. inflammatory cells infiltration significantly decreased at 28 days in PTB group; the amount of new blood vessels was (2.0 ± 0.8)/ HP in PTB group and was (6.3 ± 1.3)/HP in suture group, showing significant difference (t=7.966, P=0.002). At 28 days, the concentrations of inflammatory cytokine of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in suture group were significantly higher than those in PTB group (P lt; 0.05); however, no significant differences were observed between 2 groups at 3 days (P gt; 0.05).?Conclusion?PTB technique can be used to fix HAM/LSC grafts, which can decrease inflammatory cell infiltration and new vessel formation, and improve the outcomes when compared with suture technique.

Methods Using a self-designed questionnaire in March 2010, we did a survey on students who attended the course of hospital infection control and occupational protection. Results Among all the students, 92.73% did not know standard prevention measures, and the correct treatment and remedial measures for sharp injuries; 27.27% did not know gloves should be worn at the time of blood drawing; 25.45% did not know the "six-step" hand-washing; and less than one out of ten students used hospital laundry to wash their uniform. Conclusions The students have a low level of relevant knowledge on occupational protection, and their protection behaviors were not complete or standard. Therefore, the teaching should help and support students to have a concept of standard prevention, and acquire sound knowledge and behavior of occupational protection in order to avoid and reduce the risk factors from their future clinical practices.
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is a form of restrictive cardiomyopathy characterized by the abnormal deposition of transthyretin in the myocardial interstitium, presenting with clinical manifestations such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and cardiac conduction system disorders. The significant individual variability in the symptomatology of ATTR-CA patients poses considerable challenges for precise diagnosis. This study provides a review of biomarkers associated with ATTR-CA and highlights the TTR tetramer as a potential novel indicator. The amyloid deposition in ATTR-CA is closely related to the dissociation of TTR tetramers; however, the TTR tetramer is not included among the biomarkers currently used in clinical practice. Investigating the concentration, profile, and dissociation rate of TTR tetramers holds profound significance for the early detection and prognostic assessment of ATTR-CA. This article synthesizes the research on traditional biomarkers of ATTR-CA and emphasizes the potential application value of TTR tetramers in disease diagnosis and prognostic evaluation.
ObjectiveTo evaluate systematically the relationship between obesity and clinical prognosis in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients.MethodsA systematic search was performed in Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane databases, Wiley, Ovid, Medline, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang. All studies that reported obesity in the clinical prognosis of ARDS and acute lung injury were included. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 and Stata 10.0.ResultsA total of 28 368 patients from 9 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The combined results showed that obesity was associated with the decreased mortality of ARDS [odds ratio(OR)=0.63, 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) 0.41 to 0.98, P=0.04]. In subgroup analysis, the result showed no obvious relationship between obesity and 28-day mortality in ARDS/ALI (OR=0.92, 95%CI 0.55 to 1.54, P=0.76). However, obesity was associated with lower risk of 60days and 90-day mortality in ARDS/ALI (60-day: OR=0.84, 95%CI 0.75 to 0.94, P=0.002; 90-day: OR=0.38, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.66, P=0.000 5). Compared with normal weight patients with ARDS, hospital length of stay, ICU length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation did not differ significantly [hospital length of stay: weighted mean difference (WMD)=3.61, 95%CI –0.36 to 7.57, P=0.07; intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay: WMD=1.52, 95%CI –0.22 to 3.26, P=0.09; duration of mechanical ventilation: WMD=–0.50, 95%CI –2.18 to 1.19, P=0.56], but ventilator-free days was significantly longer in obese patients (WMD=2.68, 95%CI 0.86 to 4.51, P=0.004).ConclusionsObesity is not associated with hospital length of stay, ICU length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation in patients with ARDS. However, obesity is associated with a reduction of long-term mortality and increased ventilator-free days in the patients with ARDS. Additional larger randomized controlled studies are needed to confirm the possible role of obesity in the clinical prognosis of ARDS.
Objective To evaluate the safety and tolerance of medicinal charcoal enteric-coated tablets in healthy volunteers. Methods A total of 44 healthy volunteers were randomly divided into 6 single-dose groups (0.5 g, 2 g, 4 g, 6 g, 8 g and 10 g) and a multiple-dose group (3 g, 3 times a day, for 14 days). The safety profile and tolerance were evaluated by observing symptoms, vital signs, and laboratory tests. Results No serious adverse event was reported for any volunteer. Abdominal distension occurred in 2 volunteers in the 4 g dose group and the 6 g dose group. One volunteer in the 8 g dose group experienced nausea and vomiting. Transient decrease in white blood cell count was observed in one volunteer in the 10 g dose group. Abdominal distension occurred in 2 volunteers of the multiple-dose group. Conclusion Based on our findings, the maximum tolerated dose of medicinal charcoal enteric-coated tablets in Chinese healthy volunteers is 10 g. The recommended dose for subsequent clinical trials is 3 g, 3 times a day.
