Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is one of the important pathogens of healthcare-associated infections. 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.
Objective To assess the protective effects of a new type of leukocyte-depletion filter-1 (LD-1) on red blood cells during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods Twelve Mongolian dogs, weight range 25-30kg, were divided into control group and leukocyte depletion group (LD group) with random number table, LD group (n=6) had our new type of leukocyte depletion filter-1 placed in venous line which was used within the first 5 minutes after onset of CPB. The control group (n=6) had no leukocyte depletion filter installed in the circuit. CPB was set up by cannulated with a venous cannula through the right atrium and with an aortic cannula after median sternotomy. Aorta was clamped at 10 minutes of CPB and released at 70 minutes of CPB. Dogs were observed for 2 hours after weaning from CPB. Blood samples were collected prior to, at 10, 40, 75 minutes, end of and 2 hours after CPB to determine circulating leukocytes, erythrocyte fragility and plasma levels of malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD) and free hemoglobin(FHB). Results Leukocyte numbers were significantly reduced in LD group during CPB(Plt;0.01), and lower than those in control group (Plt;0.05). Plasma levels of SOD dropped after 75 minutes of CPB in control group, but those kept normal in LD group, and higher than those in control group at 2 hours after CPB (Plt;0.05, 0.01). Serum MDA and FHB levels increased sharply in two groups (Plt;0.01), but were lower in LD group than those in control group. The concentrations of NaCl when starting and complete hemolysis were also lower in LD group than those in control group at end of and 2 hours after CPB. Conclusion The new type of LD-1 used in venous line only 5 minutes after onset of CPB can decrease leukocyte counts, and reduce erythrocyte injury effectively.
Objective To observe the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with epiretinal membrane peeling (ERMP) and (or) internal limiting membrane peeling (ILMP) and silicone oil tamponade for highly myopic macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) with posterior staphyloma. Methods Eighty-five highly myopic MHRD patients (85 eyes) were enrolled in this study. All the patients were examined for corrected visual acuity (CVA), slit lamp microscope and preset lens, indirect ophthalmoscope, A/B ultrasound, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intraocular pressure examination. The average axial length was (29.1plusmn;1.8) mm. There were 24 eyes with diffuse choroid atrophy and 61 eyes with partial choroid atrophy. The CVA was converted into a logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis. The average logMAR CVA was 1.93plusmn;0.37. All the patients were treated with PPV and triamcinolone acetonide or indocyanine green (ICG) assisted ILMP and (or) ERMP and silicone oil tamponade. TA assisted ERMP was performed in 21 eyes; with ICG assisted ILMP in 56 eyes and TA assisted ILMP in eight eyes. The duration of silicone oil tamponade was (6.2plusmn;1.6) months. CVA, retina and macular hole status and complications were observed postoperatively. Differences between preoperative and postoperative CVA were evaluated by the t test and correlation analysis. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the influence of individual preoperative factors on the initial anatomical success. Differences in the macular hole closure rate between eyes with or without macular schisis were evaluated for statistical significance using corrected chi-square. Results The mean logMAR CVA was 1.34plusmn;0.48 after surgery, which significantly improved compared to that before surgery (t=39.38, P＜0.01). The CVA after surgery was independent of axial length (r=0.142, P＞0.05), choroid atrophy (t=0.23, -0.165,P＞0.05) and macular hole closure (t=0.12, -0.005, P＞0.05). The retina reattached in 79 eyes (92.9%) and recurrence of retinal detachment occurred in six eyes (7.1%). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that recurrence of retinal detachment was independent of choroid detachment, proliferative vitroretinopathy, axial length, choroid atrophy and ILMP (OR=1.428, 5.039, 0.815, 2.578, 0.432; P＞0.05). Of these 85 eyes, macular hole closed in ten eyes (11.8%), macular hole did not close in 75 eyes (88.2%). There were 24 eyes (28.2%) experienced high intraocular pressure during the first 2 weeks after surgery, all of them were under control with drugs. There were 12 eyes (14.1%) presented with high intraocular pressure before the silicone oil removal, all of them were under control only by silicone oil removal. Conclusion For the treatment of MHRD with posterior staphyloma, PPV combined with ERMP and (or) ILMP and silicone oil tamponade show a high retinal reattachment rate.

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.
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.
Objective To evaluate the clinical result of using osseointegratedimplants to retain removable orbital prostheses in repairing orbital defects. Methods Two patients with orbital defects caused by orbitaltumor were treated. Each of them got 4 implants. After average 6 months, we performed the secondary operation. After 7 weeks, we took impressions to make the implant-retained prostheses. The magnetic attachment was adopted. The prostheses were made of polysiloxane material(Factor II,Lakeside,Ariz). Results Both of the patients got the successful facial prostheses and were followed up 2 and 8 years respectively. All the implants were integrated well. There were no apparent inflammatory reactions in the soft tissue around percutaneous implants. The patients were satisfied with the facial appearance. Conclusion Implant-retained orbital prostheses are safe and effective in repairing orbital defects.
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 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.
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.
