Abstract In order to study the influence of chitosan on bone infection, 27 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. According to the Norden technique, the model of osteomyelitis of the tuberosity of tibia was produced experimentally by injection of staphylococcus aureus.Immediately following injection of the staphylococci, the chitosan gel, acetic acid solution and sterile distilled water were injected into the bones in the 3 groups respectively. The latter two groups were served as control. The severity of the infection was evaluated by clinical symptoms and signs, radiographicdata as well as the bone culture and bacterial counts. Compared the results from chitosan with the other two controls, it was found that the local injection ofchitosan could not reduce the incidence of bone infection, however, it could provide actual improvement when other data were concerned. The effects of chitosangel might be attributed to its bacteriostatic and immunological activity as well as its slow degradation in the body.

ObjectiveTo assess the value of simplified clinical pulmonary infection score (sCPIS) in predicting prognosis of patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). MethodsThe clinical data of 52 patients with VAP,admitted in ICU between January 2011 and December 2012,were retrospectively analyzed. The sCPIS was calculated at the onset,and on 3rd,5th and 7th day after onset of VAP. Results24 cases survived and 28 cases died in 28-day's hospitalization. 28-day mortality was 53.8%. A significant decrease in sCPIS scores was found on 3rd,5th and 7th day after onset compared with at the onset of VAP in the survivors(4.8±1.2,4.0±1.1,3.3±1.6 vs. 5.5±1.4,P<0.05). An increase in sCPIS scores was found on 3rd,5th and 7th days after onset compared with at the onset of VAP in the non-survivors (6.8±1.3,7.5±1.4,7.8±1.2 vs. 5.8±1.5,P<0.05). The sCPIS determined at the time of VAP diagnosis and on 3rd,5th and 7th day after onset was significantly higher in the non-survivors than that in the survivors respectively (P<0.05). The duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of ICU stay were longer in the non-survivors than those in the survivors[(18.4±5.2) d vs. (12.0±4.1) d,(22.5±8.5) d vs. (16±6.3) d,P<0.05]. ConclusionSerial measurement of sCPIS is valuable in evaluating the severity of illness and predicting the prognosis.
The prevention and control of COVID-19 has entered a critical moment. “Disease control of 2019 novel coronavirus infection in hospital: West China urgent recommendation” based on the best available evidence and expert experience, provided emergency recommendations for key clinical issues in hospital prevention and control during the COVID-19 epidemic. This recommendation with strong reference value and timeliness is worth learning for hospital managers, sensory control personnel and medical staff at all levels. All medical institutions should establish an emergency response mechanism to accelerate the formation of medical teams and strengthen the protection of medical staff and hospital infection control. We should enhance the implementation of policy and reinforce risk assessment. It is essential to strengthen the implementation of various prevention and control measures as well as risk assessment so as to eventually win the battle of coronavirus infection as soon as possible.
Objective To evaluate the risk factors for sternal wound infections after various cardiac operations. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 2 924 consecutive patients (28% female) in our hospital from 2010 to 2014 year. Their median age was 69 years (interquartile range of 60 to 76 years). Procedures included isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), isolated valve repair or replacement, and valve procedures plus CABG. Results Sternal wound infection was detected in 110 (3.8%) patients among the 2 924 patients: 67 of 1 671 patients (4.0%) after CABG, 17 of 719 (2.4%) after valve operations, and 26 of 534 (4.9%) after valve+CABG operation. In the CABG patients, bilateral internal thoracic artery harvest procedure, operation time>300 minutes, diabetes, obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and female were independent risk factors for sternal wound infection. In the valve operation patients, only revision for bleeding as an independent predictor for sternal infection. For combined valve plus CABG patients, revision for bleeding and operation time>300 minutes were independent risk factors for sternal infection. Conclusion Risk factors for sternal wound infections after cardiac operations vary with the type of surgical procedure. In patients undergoing valve operations or combined operations, procedure-related risk factors (revision for bleeding, operation time) independently predict infection. In patients undergoing CABG, not only procedure-related risk factors but also bilateral internal thoracic artery harvest and patient characteristics (diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, obesity, female) are predictors of sternal wound infection. Preventive interventions may be justified according to the type of operation.
As an important tool for nucleic acid detection of variant strains of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), the mobile air capsule construction laboratory is a key medical resource in the prevention and control of COVID-19. Medical staff, security guards, cleaners, maintenance workers and volunteers in the mobile air capsule construction laboratory have high contact frequency with the samples, so they have a high risk of infection with COVID-19. In order to reduce this risk, this article discusses the infection management measures in the aspects of wearing and taking off personal protective equipment, environmental health management, post use goods management, medical waste management, staff training management and disposal process after occupational exposure, and analyzed the common problems in operation, based on the operation process of Nanchong mobile air capsule construction laboratory. The purpose is to provide a reference for the construction and management of other mobile air capsule construction laboratory.
Objective To observe the effect of shRNA interference lentivirus vector targeting rat Sirt1 gene on the expression of Sirt1 in retinal ganglion cell (RGC). Methods Four short hairpin (sh) RNA interference sequences targeting rat Sirt1 gene were designed. The target sequences of Oligo DNA were synthesized and annealed to double strand DNA, which was subsequently connected with pGLV3 lentivirus vector to build the lentiviral vector. The positive clones were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. The lentiviral vector construct and lentiviral packaging plasmids were co-transfected into 293T cells, then the titer of lentivirus were determined. The RGC were divided into 6 groups including blank group, negative control group and si-Sirt1-1, si-Sirt1-2, si-Sirt1-3, si-Sirt1-4 groups. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of Sirt1 mRNA and protein in the RGC cells. Results PCR and DNA sequencing analysis confirmed that the shRNA sequence was successfully inserted into the lentivirus vector. The concentrated titer of virus suspension was 8×108 TU/ml after the recombinant lentiviral vector successfully transfected and harvested in 293T cells. Comparing with NC group, the expression of Sirt1 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased in the si-Sirt1-1, si-Sirt1-2, si-Sirt1-3 and si-Sirt1-4 groups (F=27.682, 1 185.206; P=0.000, 0.000). The si-Sirt1-2 group had the strongest effect in reducing the expression of Sirt1 mRNA and protein. Conclusion The 4 lentiviral vectors harboring RNAi targeting rat Sirt1 gene can effectively down regulate the expression of Sirt1 mRNA and protein in RGC cells.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of domestic ambroxol hydrochloride injection in the treatment of lower respiratory tract infection. Methods A total of 120 patients with respiratory tract infections were included and randomized into the treatment group (ambroxol hydrochloride injection 30mg, iv, q12h) and the control group (mucosolvan ampoule 30mg, iv, q12h). The duration of treatment was 6 days. Results 118 patients completed the trial, 59 in each group. From Day 1 to Day 6, the severity scores of cough, sputum amount, difficulty in expectoration and rales were similar between the two groups (Pgt;0.05), but a significant difference was observed in the nature of sputum (Plt;0.05). The total effective rates of the treatment group and the control group were 96.6% (FAS analysis and PP analysis) or 93.3% (FAS analysis), and 94.9% (PP analysis), respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). The incidence of adverse effects was comparable between the two groups (1.7% vs. 0%, Pgt;0.05), and no severe adverse effect was observed. Conclusion The efficacy of domestic ambroxol hydrochloride injection in the treatment of lower respiratory infection was equal to that of mucosolvan ampoule, and it can even further improve the nature of sputum. Ambroxol hydrochloride was as safe as mucosolvan ampoule.
Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), health authorities at all levels have issued many prevention and control schemes, guidelines, and notices, and medical institutions have also formulated hospital-level COVID-19 prevention and control measures accordingly. However, the epidemic prevention and control work can only be done well when the prevention and control measures are effectively implemented. West China Hospital of Sichuan University has adopted the two-level (hospital-level and department-level) supervision. By clarifying the content and frequency of two-level supervision and adopting multiple forms of supervision, a complete supervision system covering the whole hospital has been formed. Through supervision, risk points in prevention and control were identified and continuous improvement was carried out to promote the implementation of prevention and control measures. This paper introduces the application of two-level supervision in COVID-19 prevention and control in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, providing a reference for peers.
