Objective To evaluate the effect of targeted monitoring and multi-modular improvement strategy on the prevention and control of catheter-associated urinary tract infection(CAUTI).Methods Patients with indwe-lling urinary catheter in a tertiary first-class hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were selected as the re-search subjects.Targeted monitoring results and distribution of pathogenic bacteria in 5 consecutive years were ana-lyzed,and a multi-modular improvement strategy based on the targeted monitoring results was implemented.The occurrence of CAUTI before and after implementation,status and effectiveness of training in prevention and control measures were compared respectively.Results Before and after the implementation of the multi-modular improve-ment strategy,health care workers'compliance rate of hand hygiene,awareness rate of prevention and control measures,and implementation rate of prevention and control measures all increased significantly(all P＜0.001).Targeted monitoring results showed that daily test rates of urine culture and routine urine from patients with in-dwelling catheters have been on the rise in 5 consecutive years(P＜0.05).A total of 397 cases of CAUTI occurred in the past 5 years.Incidences of CAUTI in general intensive care unit(ICU)and surgical ICU showed decreasing trends in 5 consecutive years(all P＜0.05).Incidence of CAUTI in general wards showed no statistically significant difference in 5 years(P=0.088).A total of 431 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected,mainly Gram-negative bacteria.Daily incidence of multidrug-resistant organism infection in patients with indwelling catheters was 0.12‰.After the implementation of the multi-modular improvement strategy,incidence of CAUTI in all departments re-duced significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion Targeted monitoring can help identify departments with high-risk of CAUTI,multi-modular improvement strategy can raise the quality of prevention and control of CAUTI in all occa-sions,reduce the incidence of CAUTI,and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Aim To observe whether the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 was involved in the senescence of atrial fibroblasts by activating β-catenin based on our previous study which found marked increase of Piezo1 mRNA in senescent atrial fibroblasts. Methods Primary mouse atrial fibroblasts (MAFs) were isolated from male C57BL/6 mice (3-4 weeks) by enzyme digestion, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) was used to induce the senescence of cells. The ratio of senescent cells was detected by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining. The protein levels of Piezo1, β-catenin/p-β-catenin, senescence-associated proteins p53 and p21 in the cells treated with TBHP (100 μmol · L

This study was designed to establish a high performance liquid chromatography (diode array detector, DAD)-tandem mass chromatography (HPLC-DAD-MS/MS) method for the simultaneously screening 12 kinds of cough-relieving chemical drugs illegally added in anti-cough and antiasthmatic traditional Chinese medicines. This method involved liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The separation was conducted by Kromasil100-5C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) and the mobile phase was consisted of 0.3% ammonium formate (pH 2.97) and methanol. After separated by HPLC, the suspected components were analyzed by MS/MS and DAD and ultra scan was used to identify these illegally added drugs. A fast and sensitive HPLC-DAD-MS/MS method for the simultaneously screening for illegal chemical compositions was established. The LOD of these substances were below 50 ng. The method was sufficiently selective and sensitive to detect illegal chemical compositions in anti-cough and antiasthmatic traditional Chinese medicines.
