Methods To explore the level of delirium knowledge of geriatric nurses in Sichuan province and analyze the factors, so as to provide the basis for systematic and targeted knowledge training on delirium and clinical management. Methods Using the self-designed “the Questionnaire of Elderly Delirium Knowledge”, geriatric nurses from 22 hospitals in Sichuan province were investigated through a convenient sampling method from September 2018 to February 2019. Results A total of 475 geriatric nurses were investigated. The average delirium knowledge score of the 475 geriatric nurses was 69.51±12.42. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting the score of delirium-related knowledge were the education of nurses (P=0.037), technical title (P<0.001), years of working in the geriatric department (P=0.001), and the level of working hospital (P=0.001). Conclusions The level of delirium knowledge of geriatric nurses is low and can not meet the needs of clinical work. Nursing managers should carry out delirium knowledge training according to the different characteristics of nurses.

Objective To summarize the experience of providing medical supplies for the medical rescue after the Wenchuan earthquake so as to provide information for similar tasks in the future. Methods We collected and analyzed relevant data from the Medical Supply Group of the Headquarters for Earthquake Resistance and Disaster Relief. Results ① The Medical Supply Group of the Headquarters for Earthquake Resistance and Disaster Relief was set up immediately after the quake. Professional software for the medical supply information management was developed to ensure the completeness and timeliness of relevant data. ② Within the first 3 days after the quake, 12 460 medical device parts were delivered to the disaster area, which effectively ensured the availability of medical supplies for the “golden 72 hours”. ③ A great amount of donated material from other provinces and overseas also arrived. These donations reached a peak 2 weeks after the quake. A total of 428 411 drug products, 196 504 medical device parts and 5 999.4 tons of disinfection material were successfully delivered to most of the quake-stricken areas within 24 hours after its delivery to Sichuan province. ④ Three months after the quake, the remaining 193 831 drug products, 96 423 medical device parts and 2 000 tons of disinfection material were disposed appropriately. A regional medical supply warehouse was established to reserve 129 895 drug products, 74 018.4 medical device part and 231.28 tons of disinfection material. On the 115th day after the quake, a portion of these reserves were allocated to the quake-hit areas in Panzhihua, Liangshan, and Yunnan province. ⑤ Nearly 20 tons of drug products, 10 tons of medical devices and 724.54 tons of disinfection materials were properly destroyed due to expiration or disqualification. ⑥ Based on the data collected during the disaster relief work, a series of articles were published. Conclusion The medical supply work for the medical rescue after the Wenchuan earthquake was efficient, well-organized, transparent, and open.
ObjectiveTo investigate the management of hospital infection control of 23 hospitals in Sichuan province, China for making the questionnaires and providing basic data of the China-U.S. cooperative program on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases "The Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Project in China". MethodsWe selected 23 representative hospitals from different regions of Sichuan in the survey for the management of hospital infection control. The survey included basic situation of the hospital such as the hospital level, ownership, number of beds, employees and discharged patients, the situation of hospital infection management such as the organization of management, the previous surveillance for prevalence of nosocomial infection, the composition of the staff, and the distribution pattern of important pathogens. ResultsThere were 18 Triple A hospitals, 1 Double A hospital, 4 Triple B hospitals were investigated, of which there were21 general hospitals and 2 specialty hospitals. The total number of patient beds were 26 801. The total numbers of staff were 32 757 including 8 571 doctors, 13 611 nurses, 1 391 technicians and 1 014 pharmacists. In 2010, the total numbers of out-patients, operations, and discharged patients were 16 127 038, 334 057, and 776 806, and the length of mean hospital stays were 11.30 days. All hospitals established the hospital infection control department with 105 infection control professionals. Most of the staffs of infection control department had medical or nursing background with college, or undergraduate level. Nineteen hospitals (82.61%) did the surveillance for the prevalence of nosocomial infection. The last surveillance showed the mean rate of hospital infection was 2.58%. Lower respiratory tract, upper respiratory tract and surgical site infection were top three infections. The annual number of culture specimens totalled 267 061; the average positive rate was 33.06%. Escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, pseudomonasaeruginosa, staphylococcus aureus and acinetobacter baumannii were top five infectious bacteria. ConclusionThe survey on the hospital infection control management could help us understand the overall situation of the hospital infection control. Also it could found the weaknesses and targeted interventions for the future project, and ensure the authenticity and reliability of the data for this research project eventually.
Objective To investigate the awareness of rational use of drug (RUD) on medical workers in hospitals of different ranks, the establishment and execution of relevant strategies in hospitals of different ranks, and the main factors affecting RUD on medical workers, so as to provide references for the generalization of RUD. Methods A certain number of different ranks of hospitals in Chengdu and Zigong were randomly selected by the convenience sample method. Medical workers in each hospital were selected through face-to-face interviews with a self-designed questionnaire. Monte Carlo Chi-square analysis was applied on the hospital ranks and formulation of RUD guidelines, and logistic regression analysis was performed on the awareness of RUD knowledge of the respondents. Results Among 700 questionnaires distributed, 672 were retrieved (response rate 96.0%). The numbers of respondents who were familiar with the Pharmaceutical Affairs Councils (PACs) as well as the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committees (PTCs) were 217 (32.29%) and 83 (12.35%), respectively. The number of respondents who understood the concept of essential medicine was 502 (74.71%). A total of 441 (61.16%) medical workers had been trained on RUD, 199 (29.61%) medical workers denied there were PTCs in their hospitals, and 60.71% of the medical workers mentioned that the use of drug was monitored and controlled with the feedback in their hospitals. The result of logistic regression analysis indicated that the professional title (P=0.038), awareness of essential medicine (Plt;0.001) and participation of RUD training (P=0.008) were the factors influencing the awareness of RUD. Conclusion Both management and education should be executed at the same time to elevate the level of rational use of drug. In order to increase the level of RUD we should complete monitoring institution and improving RUD awareness of workers. Additionally enhancing the rationality of medication should be performed by establishing guidelines of treatment or medication. Improving personal knowledge, scientific information and medication custom should be performed by standardizing regulations, strengthening management, emphasizing education and promoting communication between doctors and patients.

Currently, as the key raw material of artificial biological heart valve, bovine pericardium is mainly depend on import and has become a “bottleneck” challenge, greatly limiting the development of domestic biological heart valve. Therefore, the localization of bovine pericardium is extremely urgent. In this study, the pericardium of Sichuan yak was compared with that of Australian cattle in terms of fundamental properties and anti-calcification performance. The results demonstrated that the appearance and thickness of yak pericardium were more advantageous than the Australian one. Sichuan yak pericardium and Australian cattle pericardium had comparable performance in shrinkage temperature, mechanical test and anti-calcification test. This study preliminarily verifies the feasibility of substitution of Australian cattle pericardium by Sichuan yak pericardium and promotes the progression of bovine pericardium localization with data support.
